Too real lmao

I haven’t posted here in months, but I’m not excited for the game yet. I was basically immediately disappointed when I saw that we’re continuing with the Fire God Liu Kang, New Era stuff… Despite it being obvious that’s what they were going to do.
 
I really wanted NRS to wipe the slate clean and go back to actual MK1 (Raiden being the thunder god and protector of Earthrealm; and no one knowing shit about Kronika, and revenants, and all the other wack story elements NRS introduced).
 
I don’t care what they call it, this is MK12 in my opinion - it’s a continuation of MK11.
 
The game looks great graphically, but this is the first MK game (MK vs DC aside) that I do not care about the story. I just don’t care, and that sucks. Also, it seems like they’re going to retcon everyone’s origin to oblivion. I am just tired of NRS NRS’ing.
 
I also assume this game is going to be just as grindy as MK11 was, probably worse, and the leaked KP1 looks awful to me.
 
I’ll pick this up if the combat and mechanics seem really good, and it’s not a grindy mess, but we’ll see… Not having crossplay at launch is also a reason why I don’t want to pre-order… I’ll see what happens, but right now, I’m assuming I’ll wait until MK2 (2028) gets announced and then I can buy Ultimate MK12 for $10.
 
and despite being a grumpy old man, I’m happy to be here, and happy there is a new MK game… I just wish I cared, hopefully the gameplay is great
 
 

Honest question, is this looking at individual DLC sales only? Because I have an assumption that most MK fans will but the whole KP. It will be the random casual that will buy MK11 + Robocop, or whatever

Dude for real

This list was supposed to be getting smaller and it keeps growing haha. Even Zangief looks cool enough for me to try! 

I'm getting withdrawal symptoms already. Sf6 is literally crack. 

Playing some matches on the beta, I feel sorry for all the naive fools that come playing with modern controls expecting to playa against people with at least a modicum of experience from fgs with classic controls.
 
Those poor souls will never stand a chance, lol.
So far, all the people who play with modenr controls always disconnect after they lose the 1st match.

Did you notice that the flag of Hong Kong was censored in Super Turbo of Battle Hub?
 

 

There is definitely some funkiness with air to air stuff. Thankfully a few characters have ways to knockdown from that scenario (Ken/Ryu j.mp, air throws) so you don’t always have to deal with it if you don’t want to. 
 
I knew it was gonna be like this early on bc it’s real similar to MK11 where after blocking shit you know is minus you gotta be ready to take your turn. No priority system, almost everything minus, and super accessible frame data means mashing is a good bet pretty often and everyone knows it.
 
Personally I really like it because it means hitting buttons in someone’s face needs to be much more calculated vs SFV where you get in their face and immediately go into the s.mp frame trap offense 90% of the roster has. You want someone to block your minus attacks you gotta condition them with something super tight like chained jabs or manipulate your spacing to catch their retaliatory button. You want plus frames you gotta burn meter or use an attack with some drawbacks like Chun s.mp which is plus on block but also has shit horizontal range. 

Just two more weeks and we all can finally bury SFV forever, never to touch it again 

Yeah @JustBoomingmade me painfully aware of that as soon as I logged on 😂

What BLM woke shit? Eternity? These guys have never seen a femme guy before? 

I feel sad for yall
 
playing the beta 8 loser characters
 
never having touched Honda's power, JP's wisdom, or Manon's grace
 
like pigs wallowing in the muck, not knowing how great the universe is around you
 
I will pray 4 u

@misterBeeTHIS ISN'T SF6 RELATED FUCKING DELETE THIS SHIT BRAH STAY PRINCNPLED DON'T BE LETTING THIS NIGGA GET AWAY WITH THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Someone should tell NRS that. No hyperbole but Kerri Hoskins has aged better than in game Sonya Blade and it's not even close. Kerri Hoskins vs MK11 Sonya is a 10-0 matchup. Scratch that a 13-0 matchup.

Honestly? After some thinking I came to the conclusion that the gore and violence would also look better and be cooler if they went for stylization over realism.
 
They wouldn't have to traumatize their own developers by making them reference liveleak tier of real gore and it could be just as effective if not more, because you don't have to look at actual human viscera in order to make cool looking fictional violence. If anything, I thought the violence ended up being actually kind of disappointing in 11, in spite of all the work and apparently misery that went into it. But then again, with photorealism the shock factor is easy to achieve, while with stylization you actually have to work for it and it might fall flat if badly executed, and now they're also stuck having to compete with their own previous entries in terms of intensity.
 
But let's look at the bright side: I remember reading that some NRS developers could never look at their dogs without imagining their insides after being crunched on MK11, but at least they waited until Sindel's release to put those naughty immoral tits back in. Thank goodness for that!

I agree

I've been having a character crises mode about SF6. I thought that Manon would be the character for me and I really felt like maining a command grab character would be an interesting pace change. But I think...I'm like 85% sure I'm gonna main Iily. Playing Kolin for 6 year has made me really appreciate long normals into braindead hit confirms. Whiff punishing and "wish" punishing have been some of my favorite interactions in SFV. Had I stopped playing Kolin I probably would have mained Karin as I played her allot in causals sets because whiff punishing with stand strong was really satisfying. From what I've seen and heard about Manon her buttons aren't nearly as long as people initially thought. And playing Kim in the betas I really hated how every button felt super stubby. I just wanna swing a big long ass normal into drive rush. I just want to be braindead I don't want to wonder if I'm in range lmao
 
I wasn't sure if I wanted to play as some short stack midget but fuck it she's cute and she's got a dive kick. I'm sorry Manon... it looks like the reign of white women is over...

Unrelated, but I wanted to let you guys know that tomorrow I'm starting a career in pro tennis. I've heard that the rules have changed and that only two sets will be played at major tournaments, so as the worst player in the lineup, I will now be able to consistently beat Djokovic & Co. now.

suuuuuuuuure 😉
