He decimated with me with using nothing but an overhead, a low kick, a crouching punch, and throws for like 80% of the match 🤣 Edited October 18, 2020 by Mattatsu Quote Link to comment
GetTheTables Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Yeah moments like that can hurt but its also a really good reminder of how valuable fundamentals are. RPS, timing, spacing. Mattatsu 1 Quote Link to comment
Mattatsu Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 It’s true. I’m not going to lie, i was incredibly frustrated at the start (I debated posting something along the lines of “this meta sucks so much omg” like 10 times lol), but eventually, i started figuring out how to endure it a little better, and apply it myself and then it wasn't so bad... Became quite a good lesson actually. misterBee and GetTheTables 2 Quote Link to comment
misterBee Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Kano sucks because unless you can outguess people every time his offense isn't that good. Compared to a lot of other characters he's very weak and a lot of his tools to get in are quite unsafe. Basically I gamble all day and hope to frustrate you. If I was smart I'd pick another character but I'm lazy and command grabs are fun. Mattatsu and DoctaMario 1 1 Quote Link to comment
KingTubb Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Anyone up for games tonight? Keep in mind I have less than a couple hours in the game, and have no legacy knowledge before, so it'll be as competitive as a boxing match between Tyson Vs. a 6 year old kid in a wheel chair, but I'm ready to take my licks. 😤 Quote Link to comment

GetTheTables Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 I'm waaaaay less versed in MK11 than I am with SF5. Aside from some early sets with Bee and recent sets with Mattatsu I've played very little. Still a strong sweep masher. Always take solace my friend that so long as you don't lose a FT10 by 13 games, you are at least making better life choices than Perfect Legend. Spoiler Mattatsu and KingTubb 2 Quote Link to comment

KingTubb Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 (edited) So now that I’ve finally played a match, imma jump to conclusions: -I really like the general gameplay of this game -Cetrion has one of her tournament variations that had a teleport And a trap move thing: -a lot of her zoning moves are slow as hell (but hit mid): -Sheeva is cool too. Don’t have a clue how to play either of these characters. I genuinely enjoy everything about this game except the presentation. The gratuitous violence wears thin pretty quick. I don’t really like the way the game looks, Including the fact that I had the thought “Sheeva’s butt is kinda nice” That’s actually when I knew I had played enough for the night. OH YEAH! almost forgot. The netcode is bitchin’. I’m gonna be playing all y’all Sonzabitches. I’m gonna in hard on this shit.

I read this as "...except the penetration." Which amusingly enough still applies even though it sounds way more filthy. GGs man. For barely having played the game you did well even if it doesn't show on the W/L. I was constantly having to adapt to keep up. Once you get some combos down I won't be able to skate though some of those closer rounds. And just like any game it takes a bit to get used to stuff like mix ups, punishes, wake ups. I still suck at a lot of that. I share your feelings with the game. The moment to moment game play can be a lot of fun - I really like how much movement there can be - but the game could really stand to get out of its own way with some of the presentation. Also yeah it is really nice to play a game that just plain runs well online. Hoping Strive has a similar experience. Looking forward to playing more in the future. I think you were onto something with Sheeva. 😁 Mattatsu and KingTubb 2 Quote Link to comment

Yeah, i’m not the biggest fan of holding a button to block. I like that it eliminates proximity guard bullshit, but it’s still annoying pressing the button, and I’d prefer to just hold back (though if MK were to do that, things like scorpion’s teleport would have to be slowed down/nerfed quite a bit) KingTubb 1 Quote Link to comment

Robocop is more of a grappler than sheeva is, he actually has a variation with a mid hitting command grab. Sheeva was sold as a grappler, but isn't one. Of the 3 new chars, either Mileena or more likely Rambo will have a command grab variation. Rambo just might be quasi grappler from the get go.

Volta Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 (edited) There isn't really any archetype grappler in the game, I suppose Geras could be called a grappler, but no one picks the command grab variation because Quicksand is just too good to give up. To follow up on that, Geras is really, really strong. I can beat some people with my scrub Geras that I struggle against with my Sub. Edited October 20, 2020 by Volta Quote Link to comment

Closest are Grundy and Bane from injustice as far as NRS games go. Geras has quicksand pit in all his variations(just different takes on the move depending on the variation)! 2 of the 3 have the grab and its one of the best grabs in the game. Not like the old days where it was only the one variation his grab variations do get picked often now. I got hopes for rambo, even though every dummy in the world whose never actually watched any of the movies thinks hes a gun guy(maybe, go watch the first 3 movies if you think that, when its time to murk fools its with a knife or a bow) I think he will probably have a grappler variation. Probably something like 1) grappling 2) traps 3) green-arrow lite with the bow. GetTheTables 1 Quote Link to comment

Quicksand is much better than Sand Trap though, it does more damage, has an easy KB, can't be interrupted by projectiles and leaves you right next to them. I haven't kept up with the tournament scene, but I was under the impression that Infinite Warden is still the go-to variation among pro players? Edited October 20, 2020 by Volta Quote Link to comment

Its all about variation 3 which has the sand statue which is teleport OK, defensive tool, and combo extender also has the command grab. Also people finally started understanding New Era better which I preferred from the start. Infinite warden had the most damage, but the least amount of options, its the least used variation now overall.
