This game needs some serious work

[bulldog0890]

yall honestly gonna tell me that the raiden/jax combo is somehow fair and balanced? he wins in only two combos. that damage is absurd

[P41N]

most of the characters have at least 40% damage combos

[sg1darkcalling]

Yeah but his is easy to pull off. Same with Shao

[sg1darkcalling]

The games fun I just wish they would tone down the damage idk

[sg1darkcalling]

And what is annoying about the games design is that because you can take out half a persons life with a combo. All of the try hards and pros do nothing but memorize and combo people to death.

That leaves little room for creative expression. Like of all the potential strategies you can have and fun. It just ends up... who can hit their 40% HP combo first. While both sides block furiously around not getting comboed to death. The entire match up ends up revolving around it. It makes pro play and high level play boring to watch. Because all you see is the same moves over and over again. With little variation.

Where is the strategy? the adaptability and variation in fights and combat?

Growing up I loved MK but I didn't know how to combo like that. I loved the game throughly and found ways to win kombat and make it work without relying on combos. if I had to guess this fact is why MK dies off so quickly after each new release. Only the hard core players remain. While the casual players quickly move on.

40% still means you get at least 3 mistakes. 4 if you count a combo breaker. raiden is literally two, you can be dead before you can even break it in the first round. and its super easy to do. i'd be ok with it if it was hard as all hell and people dropped it all the time

i will say, that despite the huge combo damage, i've had a lot of rounds run to time out because everyone plays so cautious because of the extreme damage

Welcome to assist based fighting games. You're always gonna end up with either one or two-touches.

what fighting games you guys come from? sf6 has 60-80% combos, tekken has 90% combos on some characters. NRS games always had 40-50% combos, maybe mk11 didn't but i haven't played that one enough

meterless with no assist?
maybe people just don't understand mk1 mechanics...
Assist is the new offensive meter used for more dmg and mixups
meter is used mostly for defensive mechanics like armored specials and combo breaker.

assist BARELY counts as a resource, it comes back so damn quickly, and totally on its own

it is resource whether it comes back quickly or not. In MK11 there was 2 bars of defensive and 2 bars of offensive meter. SF6 has drive gauge and super meter. MK1 has assist and meter

We legit need to be able to use breakers faster.

Seriously, why the ♥♥♥♥ can some characters instakill you before you get to 3 bars to break their combo ONCE?

Who the ♥♥♥♥ thought that was a good idea?
