Upstate SC: We're so good we don't even have to PLAY. And out-of-towners post FOR us

i…just don’t like the way it moves…there’s no fluidity to it and that kinda ruins it for me. animation seems real jerky to me as well; no hate, tho…more power to anyone who likes it…can do nothing but help in the long run :slight_smile:

GGs Kyah that was a pleasure playing you!! I am loving this game so many fun characters! Thanks for the scorpion compliment I do better with him for sure even though I put more time into reptile,kabal, and more recently ermac and nightwolf. Vexco you should definitely give it a shot!! The fluidity is definitely there once you start to work dash cancelling into your game. You can move across the screen pretty fast once you have that down and rush down like crazy. I had the same thoughts about the animation being stiff and jerky when I first saw vids of the game, but once you get your hands on the game, you will definitely see that the animation and character models are just beautiful. My only experience with MK series is MK3 so long ago, and MK deadly alliance which was a guilty pleasure of mine I loved it haha. Still learning but definitely getting the hang of things and very pleased with the gameplay and all the Kontent they put into the game, best story mode ever for any fighting game.

Excellent point - I totally called the ending though :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

If you’re a fan of the story canon, they really treat you right. The game also borrows something from every previous game - the menu structure, fonts, and a lot of the character designs are from MK vs. DC which I started playing to get in the mood for this one (glad I did), and I think I even saw The Joker’s head on a stick in one of the cutscene pictures :slight_smile:

yea i still own three machines, but i dont know i still just prefer jap sticks now. I gotta play the game online though as i just completed story mode which was fucking great, can not believe you cant skip the cinematics though.

If you skipped the cinematics then it wouldnt be story mode haha, it would be ladder play! : P

ok Kabal’s pressure game is too good, I started to work his spin dash cancel into my pressure strings and it’s crazy

Yeah I’m seeing him as another possible top tier character. The guys over at TRMK seem to like him as well. I wish I had more time to practice…GAAAAAH!!! :slight_smile:

yea but when you quit and come back later you have to watch the cinematics over that you already saw.

story mode was great the rest of the game is crap then end!. lets play one of the Lolita fighters!

Bite your tongue, L.L. Go play Marvel or something.

the game is very good once you get into it, just seems really simple when you start.

really liking jax but he needs to do more damage.

I’m liking Smoke more and more. I think he is the best character in the game imo. His teleport punch and akuma teleport are just awesome haha. So far my best combo with him with no meter is about 46%!

Meh, I still haven’t had enough time to play to come up with any type of general tier list. I want to get all the stuff unlocked before I dive into hardcore character study.

sheeva x ray ftw!.. jade and cyber sub for me, but i really wanted cyber smoke

everyone looks ok but there are a few that stand out.
Kabal, smoke, ermac, melina, raiden and nightwolf. so far smoke does look good but i think ermac might be better. same problem as kyah though i am having to much fun with the single player unlockables to take the game too seriously yet.

so far i am enjoying cage, jax, raiden and nightwolf.

Everybody is sleeping on Kung Lao…seriously, I think he has the potential to be the best overall character in the game. He can easily combo into the spin juggle, which has ridiculous recovery time, which also can combo into his X-Ray, his rushdown is sick, jump forward~dive kick is faster than the recovery time on most all (if not all) of the projectiles, his low fan attack beats soooo many moves, like Stryker’s roll grab…I mean really. What more do you need? :slight_smile: Anybody have any negatives? LET’S DISCUSS VIDEO GAMES.

i’m still playing super. fuck you guys :stuck_out_tongue:

Kung Lao is definitely a great character! His only negatives is he gets owned for free if you bait out his dive kick and block it, also the spin is an amazing move, and people think that because it pushes people back on block that it’s safe, but most of the cast can actually block it, dash up and do a full punish combo. He is definitely a high risk/reward character! All his stuff leads to big poppa damage but he has to take some serious risks in order to land those hits. Thats what pretty much keeps him in check from being too overpowered, but in the right hands he is very dangerous. I picked a few more characters that I find fun sub zero, jade, and now wanting to try out raiden. Cyber sub zero is one sexy character too, but I hate his bomb problem after dashing it’s pretty annoying so I didnt pick him for too long, he still looks like an amazing character though probably pretty high up in the tier list.

yea with jax i can really punish a kung lao, he is awesome but very punishable.

i finally spent some hardcore time with jax last night and he is so different at first glance he sucks because his strings are bad and he doesnt do big damage like a few of the heavy hitters. i am discovering though the guy is pure frame advantage. if you get next to someone his qcf FP grab when blocked leaves him at plus frames and his cr fp can combo into it for an easy 17% or 25% with meter. once he is on you it is very hard to attack. his zoneing is top tier with the groundpound and qcb bp. he overall is very good but very unique, great zoning great rushdown, great single hit damage, great xray, low combo damage. very odd design but he is fun, it is great to throw out a punch to qcf fp and people block it and think they can attack only to get punched in the face.

also on the online guys dont play in rooms the lag sucks with more than 2 people, it is bearable with only 2.

i also tried out sonya and kitana last night, both seem amazing. thoughts?

I havent tried out Sonya except for story mode, seems really cool though. [media=youtube]EFPDd9BSo3s&feature=channel_video_title[/media] thats one thing that is definitely pretty OP with Sonya haha. As for Kitana she seems really good and is annoying to fight against! Matt plays her and her fan throw runaway is pretty tough to get around, plus her square jump move is a great invincible wake up move, and just a good move by itself. It pretty much beats any jump in attack they do, and a great “get the hell out of there” move. Great runaway, very powerful punish combos, and a fantastic all purpose x ray. Both have amazing breasts so that automatically puts them high on the tier list for me.
