Erron has probably the most obnoxious throw animation in any FG I’ve played. It’s like a fucking looney toons gag reel that you know is supposed to piss off the person getting thrown. Kotal’s amp’ed grab is definitely another ridiculous one, but I played him strictly to troll people with grabs and sun ray damage anyway. EvilCanadian and KingTubb 1 1 Quote Link to comment

We gonna have to have a good ol fashioned tech swap meet at some point I have a hitbox myself that I got while I was playing Samsho competitively and while I have a couple really nice sticks, I think stick is an inferior way to play FGs now. Better than pad, but hitbox is so much better imo. Mattatsu and KingTubb 2 Quote Link to comment

That and for beat-em-ups and some other games here and there I had a lot of fun playing Megaman on stick... I wish I still had one tbh. I do think sticks feel better for movement. It’s more intuitive as in it feels more natural and in a weird way, I feel like I connect with my character better, but I prefer the precision I get with Hitboxes. I can’t imagine playing a fighting with anything else but a HB now, but any other game that doesn’t need a two analog sticks (3D adventure games, FPS’s, etc) would be preferred on stick for me, over controller or HB.

Mattatsu Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 (edited) So, unless i cant figure it out, with that Ps4 system update that did a missive makeover of the party options a few weeks ago, you can no longer make a private party by yourself, muting in-game mics... RIP random MK11 play. edit: apparently, you can send a party invite to any friend, even if they’re offline and it works the same, so i’ll just befriend my alt PS4 account and use that Edited November 6, 2020 by Mattatsu GetTheTables and KingTubb 2 Quote Link to comment

Mattatsu Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 (edited) Custom Variations will now be tournament legal in Ultimate! Though there may be some (only a few) moves that are outright banned in competetive-play. inconsistent hitboxes (especially on crouching opponents) have been made more consistent across the cast hop attacks will be immune to low attacks (like D1s), which makes these low attacks easier to deal with (even though hop attacks aren’t the fastest thing) getup attacks will be a little faster, which I’m not sure if this is good. I do think wakeup options are a bit too strong. This sounds like maybe a buff to them. fatal blows will have less pushback on block, making them easier to punish flawless blocks will have a 6 frame window, making them easier to do (note: 3S blue parries are 7 frames) Edit: Edited November 6, 2020 by Mattatsu DoctaMario, GetTheTables, Vhozite and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment

Yeah, i’m going to play it a lot more now. I really wanted to tinker with customs but never saw the point... i have a mean custom sindel i can finally lab now though also, my custom kitana is nice too, but it uses the mileena stance which seems odd now.

I’ve never used it but AI fighter Kitana *really* like up fans for combos so who knows. Tbh I’m looking forward to Low Fan/Ground War/Twist (the overhead special). 50/50’s baby. Sai stance with lift is something else I’m eager to try. They’re also nerfing the shit out of razors so between that and customs Kitana is basically gonna be a new character in ultimate. Frost bomb head (pause) with her combo extender special. Jade Deadly Assassin strings with Glow and armor razors. Kotal with command grab and totems. This game just got way more interesting. Edit: Also lol at Netherrealm banning moves. These guys will do anything but actually adjust the broken moves directly lmao. Took them a damn year to nerf Edenian Razors.

Katana’s krushing blow overhead is bullshit Yeah, that caught you too many times. I don’t know if going from crouch blocking to stand blocking is instant like it is in SF. Really, you can stand block after the sweep, and then there’s still two more mids that come out before the overhead, so you have enough time. Against Fan-Fare, this is fine, but with my custom with the low fan toss, I can cancel from that second mid into a low for a few points of damage KingTubb 1 Quote Link to comment

Every character in the game can backdash it. If Sheeva delays, just backdash twice. It's not as reliable, but you can also just D2 it. Or use whatever upper your character has. It's really not hard to punish once you understand the timing. Quote Link to comment
