Yeah but man those skull shenanigans. What a great char. And I ate 98% of those overheads.
 
Tusks st.HP is one of the most satisfying buttons I've hit in a long time.

Tusk hits like a truck.
 
My main things...
-Goddam the music is good
-Thunder is still one of the best grappler's of all time
-Spinal is hilarious

To be honest, i think i’m swapping from Kitana. I kinda figured this would happen anyway as pre-customs i couldn't find much else i liked for her, except up-fans and half-blood stance. Half-Blood Stance became wack to me when Mileena got announced (I just don't like someone doing moves that belong to someone else) and with the up-fans nerf, it is harder to land them midscreen, and the options have been restricted. that combo i posted is hard af for me to do consistently... Dont get me wrong, she gets better combos and it helps her corner damage immensely, but at the end of the day, she still struggles in zoning matchups, which half-blood stance would’ve help with, but again...
 
And i can’t believe i’m saying this, but i may be a Mileena main. I really like her kit. I think her neutral buttons and strings arent great (or rather the range on some of them aren’t), but she still has some decent ranged buttons and her dashes are really quick and with being able to cancel dashes into buttons at any time, it may help her neutral. I think it will take time really knowing her ranges (and my opponent’s) to be effective with her, but her kit has basically every tool I could ask for, and no filler.
 
i do need to lab Sindel though because i have a mean custom with her, and was thinking of swapping to her before i tried out Mileena.
 
edit: no, it’ll be Mileena. I think Sindel has better neutral, but I think Mileena just suits my playstyle better (better rushdown and mixups).

No regrets.
 
You also may look back at the end and think
 
"Man those Mileena combos were so sick".
 
*BARF*

Same.  We were both beginning to knock the rust of as we went,
 
 I have honestly never been able to tell any of Tusk's Doubles/linkers apart (he's hard to break). If memory serves Tusk can still pick up a combo after his giant sword swings but its a link of some kind right?
 
Connection was basically flawless on my end, except for the same few tiny hiccups you mentioned. We should definitly play again, especially if other people want in we can do a real lobby. 

I didn't think Klot was likely to make the cut. No way Core Trap was.
 
Those just seemed like abilities that would get screamed about and I figure the devs don't want to hear that shit. Easier to just ban it.
 
The real wiener whacker are that some specific combos of moves are banned. That I didn't know about and I'd be a little salty if a combo I was excited about got clipped that way.

No regrets.

I was such a coward when i was a teenager. There were so many girls interested in me and i was such a suck to do anything about it. I also let some kids in my youth bully me, which shaped how i deal with people for years to come.
 
better at that shit now, but i bet when i’m 60, looking towards retirement, i’ll look back at this time and wonder why i was such a coward and didnt make plans to have a better career/retirement, but hey, mileena looks dope though... Gonna test that bitch out now. 🤣
 

Yeah for all I revel in my middle age being young is great too. Its all different parts of the cycle and what you make out of them.
 
I think the thing that is satisfying to me right now is having the experience and perspective to refine the things I defined in my teens/20s, and be able to look at things with a different perspective I may not have been able to internalize well at that age.
 
You sound like you're on the right track. Just keep doing what you're doing and it'll work out just fine.
 
Also fun fact when my brain scanned your post I saw "3rd" and immediately thought you were talking about 3rd Strike. That is probably a good association to have.

Seconded. I'll take the slightly thinning hair and random aches and pains as a trade off for being really stable and knowing what I want. 
 
Only now do I appreciate the phrase "youth is wasted on the young". Its not a slam against young people its "goddammit I wish I could have all the stuff and knowledge I have now but that 18 year old body, I'd be unstoppable".

That's your first life test. 
 
Now no one is going to push you or really care about what you are doing. Its all up on you to set your own path and walk it.
 
My recommendation is to set standards and keep to them. Work on building your own schedules and regimens. The next howevermany years are going to be a lot of that so building good habits now will pay off later.
 
Also even though it can feel heavy at times this is still "young person fun time" so get out there and do enough dumb shit to get some good stories but not enough that you end up in prison.

The world of PCs with cheap and abundant SSDs welcomes you!
 

 
I'd say the bigger issue is internet connection for most people.  US internet infrastructure/pricing is abysmal.

Its been rumored and datamined that there will be 5 more characters to make the select screen a perfect rectangle... no clue who they are, but i’m hoping for cyrax, sektor, and havik to be in there.

Damn shitting right on Leprechaun like that huh? 

Look man if I can still keep at this at 38 after a decade of typing and carpal tunnel, you can at least be a low tier Twitch personality. I believe. 
 
Rambo definitely looks sweet. Especially with the variations being opened up you should be able to find something with him.
 
I only bought the KP because I'm a tool. I'm probably not getting off the Cassie/Skarlet train anytime soon.
 
Also the character select screen is lopsided right? Can we get one more char to balance that thing out? The lack of symmetry makes my eye twitch. 

Sorry about the CV19 shenanigans @KingTubb. Saw it in General but was too many pages back to comment. Hope everything works out. 
 
No better time to turn pro. 😉
 
Pre-ordered the Kombat Pass yesterday so I'll be ready to wrassle whenever folks want to give this brave new MK11 world a try.

Depends on how deep you wanna go.
 
Pinhead is close to the surface.
Tall Man is a choice (great movies, weirder FG char).
Pumpkinhead is a neat monster.
Maniac Cop gets you that sweet rap song on the soundtrack.
 
Horror movies are kind of boundless that way due to how fandom works.
 
For action movie chars there is only one place they can go now. The ur-Stallone action character:
 
Marion Cobretti

Haven't been playing lately, but I plan to tonight on FC2.

I used to main Thunder and there is definitely some muscle memory there. Spinal was my KI1/2 dude but I didn't play him much in this game. I never played after Arbiter was added though I have seen a decent bit of match footage with him. Rat-tat-tat.
 
I'm taking this as an excuse to try out more of the characters that I always wanted to play. That may or may not go terribly.  😀  I want to learn Maya but I think the way she is built melts my brain too much.
 
Lemme know what time. I've been sleeping kinda like shit so I may not make it much past 10 tonight but from 6 on I can probably make it work with a little heads up. If it doesn't work out tomorrow is about the same in terms of availability.
