I miss the wake up options of MK9 and MKX. I liked that your specials had invincibility on wake up in those games. It put a lot of focus on restands if you wanted to maintain your momentum.

Yeah, personally, MK11 made some goofy choices to mechanics...

a running thought I’ve had is that everything that needed improvement in MKX was improved on in MK11 (animations, models, character designs, too focused on mixups, stages, too dark levels, too gruesome fatalities, story, etc); but everything great in MKX was made worse in MK11 (combo routes/flexibility, wakeup options, combo breaker mechanics, supers, variations, etc).

i do like MK11 a lot though. I do prefer the slower neutral-based game, and I have played it more, but it could use some more of the fun that X had, and the new mechanics could use some tweaking.

One thing I’ll add is there are a multitude of different wakeup options in this game (which is honestly something I’d like then to nerf), but in the meantime, Tubb, just think of using U+3 for an invincible, grounded wakeup attack, and F+3+4 for forward wakeup rolls (real helpful to get out of a corner, but you can be grabbed out of them)

as of MK11 Ultimate, I don't know everything, but stuff is being changed on that front(wakeups)

You can see as much in the rain trailer, Delay wakeup has a unique animation again like previous nrs titles.

Watching EC's intro vid, great stuff man!

Didn't know about flawless block. Pretty stoked on that, it's like if parries weren't stupid

Yeah, it’s good but the timing is much more strict. I think it’s 3 frames, but may be 2.

if I recall, it’s the same timing as red parries

EC said 3 in his vid, so I trust him. But it looks like they aren't broken as fuck. There are too many times in 3S where you end up getting punished if you parry. It's wack

That exists in this game, at least in the form of how breakaways end up working. We're all scrubby enough that it may not be too maddening and at least its tied to bar but I can definitely see where working around that mechanic would get old.

When are you guys free to do king of the hill? We should all play together some time.

My schedule is pretty open right now. Tuesdays are a standing engagement (give or take a lockdown in the future) but otherwise I can probably be free with enough of a heads up. Evenings are usually best.

I’m down whenever! Evenings are usually best for me. I should be free tonight even if that works for anyone else (tomorrow night would be good too)

Around what time? I need to relearn how to play the game between now and then.

I'm free tonight and can do some games. Hope Bee and tables have enough prep time to possibly join us.

Tonight is unfortunately a no-go for me (after I said most nights are good, sorry.)

Tomorrow would work if you guys still have the gumption then.

I'm free almost every day. The really challenge is making sure I'm being productive instead of playing games all day. 🙃

What are the button shortcuts in this game?

I know one of them is SF-style throw w/ 1+3.

But I don't see what the others are?

1+2 = amplify/interactable

3+4 = switch stance

3+4+BL = fatal blow

I'm practicing while it patches. Should be enough to get me doing the basics. 👍

A wrench got thrown into my plans. My sister is bringing my nephew to stay over at my place and he's not a fan of gore. If a keep him busy with Youtube and Switch games I might clutch it out.

GetTheTables · October 18, 2020

No one does any Fatalities usually so maybe you can just tell them its raspberry jam. And block all FBs.

Can't help you when Kano starts spitting and pissing everywhere though.

Hawkingbird · October 18, 2020

Brutalities, fatal blows, and crushing blows still pose a problem. I'm still gonna try to make it happen. Mario Maker 2 is gonna have to come through.

Hawkingbird · October 18, 2020

I'm in training mode right now. @Mattatsumy nephew isn't here yet so I can go a few rounds.

Mattatsu · October 18, 2020

Sorry for the abrupt end @misterBee, trying to get hawkingbird in quick. Should have a new invite now

Mattatsu · October 18, 2020

@Hawkingbirdyou shoukd have a KOTh invite

Hawkingbird · October 18, 2020

I get there in a few. The patch didn't download thanks to having no free storage. Give me 7 minutes to get in there.

Edit: holy shit these updates are painfully slow. Why is the install longer than the download?

Started playing tonight, this game definitely needs 8 buttons.

this case better get here soon. I’m sorta kneecapped with 6 buttons.

your fatal blow is tied to Block+flip stance. So at the very least, you need 7 buttons to do everything you need:

Front punch

front kick

back punch

back kick

block

throw

interact

stance switch.

So I’m kinda hobbled for the moment, but I get the case on Monday. Honestly, as a total scrub and being new, it makes me sad I can’t spam super ☹️

3+4 = flip stance, so 3+4+R2 = fatal blow

1+2 = amplify/interact

1+3 = throw

I never use the L1/L2 buttons during a match, but I will admit that sometimes throws dont come out when i want them to lol, but I found R1 was better as amplify as there are times you cannot use the macro

I play with 6 buttons.

This is my control scheme:

1P = 1

2P = 2

3P = throw

1K = 3

2K = 4

3K = block

Make sure you have button shortcuts on. That means that you can perform ex with 1P+2P, and you can do super by hitting 1K + 2K + 3K. Haven't had any issues with this setup!
