Modern fighting game audiences are closer to the MMO demographic, that fighting game players per se; and the games are designed to pander to their sensibilities. As such, most do not play to "git gud", learn, adapt, expand their play style, experiment, or even have fun -- they play to GRIND, and grind only. Thus, to them, spamming a single attack into infinity, is "playing" ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[KripTed]

Yeah I know. Johnny Cage spamming you in a corner. Smoke spamming his teleport every two seconds. I think I’m ready to uninstall this game and never look back. Every time I face a smoke character, I just ALT F4.

[M4N]

Sareena is braindead, yes.

[i ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hate this game]

ive not seen barely enough people (any infact) talk about shang tsung and his zoning which is genuinely the worst to deal with, but then again Klassic subzero exists to counter zoning

[witcherman]

Getting mad does not help. People can play whatever character they want and however they want and it is not spaming. We all have our own fighting styles and what we have learned. If you don't like it don't fight a online battle with players around the world.

If you get slammed by the same attack over and over, you are the one who needs to learn and adapt.

NRS community never changes.
It is all the worst parts of the casual fighting game audience, and why NRS keep making bad decisions with their games.

They have done everything to make zoning virtually useless and still you all complain smh

What bad decisions? its not like they have a poorly optimised pc port for the game that causes the game to miss read or just not read your imputs at all.

its not like that add power creep too the game

it surely isnt like they created a meta and plan to stick with it despite everyone explaining in detail why somethings are a problem.

and it 100% isnt like the they create a new system every release of a new MK game that forces new and old players alike to have to relearn the basics of their game just to start learning character.

surely SURELY it isnt like that for this game

2/3 KL bruv)))

[KripTed]

Yeah. Uninstalled. These players are just too lame.

[Storse]

if you're getting hit constantly by the same thing over and over again maybe it's because you keep doing the same mistake.

[CoMa]

if you want no zoninng just stop infinite combo, it's ridiculos the game and some characters have only zones for defend from infinite 45% easy combos.

Threads like this crack me up. I'm sorry these people didn't play Mortal Kombat the way that YOU think they should.
If I were to make a thread like this I would just swap out "zoners and spammers" for "People who do nothing but wait to block a punishable move and then execute memorized 50% damage combo, then rinse and repeat"
I find that play style super annoying but I'm not gonna try and make them play the way that I like to
can you say ENTITLEMENT?????
