I’ve honestly had more fun here in the last few days, than I’ve had in SRK for the last few years (outside of hype times like Evo and playing lounges and what-not).

I don’t know the cast well enough to advise, but one thing i should mention is that the game doesn't quite revolve around pokes. There are some decent ones for sure, but neutral is more about using a couple different combo strings (usually 2-3 quick button presses) and confirming into a special. Most characters do have a decent D1 and/or D3 close poke but those are more for pressure (or getting out of it) and going for throw mixups. Most characters do have weapons though, so there are a lot of characters with decent ranges pokes (raiden, jade, maybe sindel, come to mind), but they can’t really convert from their longest pokes. Though they usually have decent, mid-range pokes that will convert into strings. Also, most strings do move your characters forward so you don’t have to be super close to get them going, but they’re reactable if you’re too far. projects are very quick, they usually don't clash with other projectiles, and the recovery is somewhat quick too. This isn't really a projectile/jump+DP kind of a game, but that’s why characters like Scorpion have teleports. throws have to be teched based on a forward or back throw, which is a guessing game in itself, but you can duck them completely (if you’e not blocking) and go for an uppercut (D2). It’s a different throw-game than SF. Edit: i’m wondering if theres a way for me to stream it and VC with you on discord so you can see me play a few matches? My upload speed isn't great though. It’d have to be like 360p for any hope of working. Here is a set that me and Hawkingbird played a while back so you can see what it’s like at our level. I should note that Sub-Zero is more of a Ryu type with good mixups, and Kitana doesn't have great range and is more rush-down, but has some good mobility.

I did all of the missions in my normal run at the beginning of the year. All that’s left is getting another 450 (or so) koroks and taking pictures of everything for the compendium... I do miss the game though. I’m just not sure if I want to run around for another month to get a gold turd or if I should start speed running or doing some sort of new challenge with it (like a deathless run?). I’m curious if any of you guys have replayed it and what you did differently. I did try master mode, but I don’t really like it to be honest. Not so much because the enemies are tougher, but they break all of your weapons early game and it honestly seems best to just avoid every fight you can, which sucks imo.

Lol, could be something like that. I really like X-Men’s Rogue for a similar reason....

Well I’m a vegetarian, and my ducking reflexes are ready

Off topic, but I’m kinda glad Megashock doesn’t show who’s typing a message. If y’all saw how many posts I disregard in a day, you’d think I was nuts.

It is... I gotta say, I have a hard time understanding Mileena’s popularity. I’ve always liked her and think she should be base roster in basically every game, but I never understood why she touched so many people enough to induce the levels of harassment she did, or to actually have people cry because she’s in the game. I’m happy Lostygirl got that moment, but I can’t comprehend why there’s such an attachment in the first place. there’s gotta be something about being an unwanted clone that maybe attracts people that weren’t their parents favourite kid or something? I really don’t get it. and to clarify it, I am happy she made it, I just don’t get the fandom.

There’s a lot of Wiki pages right? Like multiple pages from nearly every somewhat-mainstream 2D fighting game up until at least CVS2, maybe later? Are 3D games covered as well? I’d imagine you could copy and paste the stuff into Google Docs but that’s gotta be a week of two of very solid work.

Yeah, i kinda feel like if the news gets out of SRK, they’ll just shut it down. I wouldn't mind but i don't want the Wikis to be nuked along with the forum.

Well, in Preppy’s defence, he can’t be assed to remember his own password, so maybe he’s locked out 🤣

Happy you made it brother!

I can’t imagine they didn't notice it before, but now I’m imagining them at the copyright office with the clerk giglling as they hand them the paperwork for a 10k license they just paid for

K, wow, i really gotta work lol. See ya guys in a bit... Make the most of it Tubb

I gotta say that Game Arena and Gay Marina is too good though lol

I’m sure she had her suspicions 🤣 edit: dammit, landed on another page... thats what i get.

There’s also stance switch and amplify which are important, but again, there are macros to get around needing dedicated buttons for them

You don’t need 8 buttons to fight. There are shortcuts to get around that and i never use more than 6 buttons on my hitbox, except for maybe the menus... you may have to use L2 and R2 in them. I’ll check later today.

He is, and has some decent moves with his cape and chains... one thing you need to know is MK11 is a pretty neutral heavy game. You’d expect him to have crazy shit, but he’s basically a dude with a sub machine gun and decent ranged normals. Keith David does the voice though also, i realize the contradiction of saying “neutral heavy game” and sub machine gun in the same paragraph 🤣. MK11 does have pretty strong zoning that works very differently then games like SF.

Thats crazy, but also sounds fun, lol. I’m not much of a hunter, but do bows do much to a deer? I’m sure it would in the neck, etc, but seems like it would take a bit more precision to kill... and thus, more likely to have a pissed off deer in your yard

From the thumbnail, i thought that was Zoey Deschanel as the mom. Then watched it and thought it was PND Ketchup 🤣 in all seriousness, i kinda regret my post. I hate saying stuff like that, even if its a joke, for fear i jinx something somewhere

Yeah, i’d rather have smoke, havik, cyrax, sektor, and reptile above any of the guests (except maybe Spawn. He’s cool)... i need someone to make that Half-Baked quitting gif where dude says “Fuck you” to all the guests including Rambo, but the old lady is spawn.

Well, hopefully it’s the first day of hunting season... Just make sure the kids stay out of wooded areas 🤣

Nice! I got 5 weeks this year (normally have 3 but had to take a 2 week mandatory furlough). I always book off christmas to new year but have like an extra week or so i need to book... I kinda don't want to with how busy i am, but i’m not losing those days.

Yeah, i figured it’d be something like that. We have days like that in canada too where the post office is closed, and maybe some banks or something, but everything else is open.

Man, i’m never that smart. I feel like i need to take today off as a sick day too because my stomach is effed up today. Guaranteed i’ll be busy as all hell tomorrow though
