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?????

you call him entitled then proceed to explain how your willing to be just as entitled


"THINK THINK!"

Yeah right. 99% of the games are rush down ever since I got the game.

I think i've come across 4 players total that focused on zoning and spamming to win games.

btw cool Raziel profile pic. i miss L.O.K. so its cool too see someone else having the profile pic. ( i know mine isnt but i mean used to be)

[Juri's_feet_tho]

Yea you can't zone the way you could in MK11 or MKX. I miss Cassie so much lol and Robocop was something else. I cant wait to see what Peacemaker is going to do with that hand cannon

Delusional. All this game is is zoning characters like Scorpion, Kenshi, Reiko and etc. Nothing but pushing you in a corner or going full screen and spamming a spear, shurikens or Kenshi using his 6 foot radius sword. The people saying otherwise are probably the one’s doing it. MKX barely had zoning and neither did MK11. The last MK to have such cheapness was 9. I love 9 but that cheapness is the one thing I hated about it. MK12 is that but on steroids.

yea right, sub zero, scarlet, scropion, robo-cop, rambo, spawn, T-800, sindel, raiden, jackie, cassie.

none of them were in mk11 and they didnt zone noooooooooo.

and Jakie, Predator, Scropion, sub zero, radien, lui chang, kung lao, kitana, tanya, rain, ermac, cowboy dude whatever his name was, tremmor.

wasnt in MKX zoning has always been a thing. the reason it wasnt as big of a deal in MKX was most people didnt know how to do it.

in mk11 when they learned how, it wasnt a big deal because Krusing blows was a thing and if they ever got in they could do a 90% combo string for it.

in this game it is a big deal but i would agree that blocking and poking is a bigger issue.
in this game its on you to pick sub zero as your kameo to avoid zoning or learn the other characters moveset and understand their weakness. witch both is dumb too me but at least theres a tool for zoning as a choice.

but there is only one kameo that has an unblockable and thats Goro. very hard to use him to combo extend so if your playing say smoke or Scropion then its very hard too do enough damage to be a threat. personaly i would prefer if every character had an unblockable combo extender of some kind. that or nerfing the blocks to have a 5 frame start up so if they get in you dont just get to take your turn back for waiting for an unsafe move. thats borring no one likes it but since the devs like unblanced ♥♥♥♥ as seen with how they dont listen to player feed back at all. its not going to get changed so.

this whole thread is a waste of everyones time

You just proved my point. The other games had more ways around such cheapness, such as rolls, krushing blows and etc. This game doesn’t. Not to mention I could pick and choose who I’d play against in a lobby. This one I’m forced no matter what. Oh and the Kameo’s is what makes it even worse. You guys have fun playing by yourselves though cause in the end you’ll be down to 200-500 zoners and spammers only.

its true, blocking has never been stronger in an mk game then this one so zoning feels like the way to go to counter it. the logic being " if i cant combo you, fine! neither will you"

[pragadito]

i think we fought the same people lmao

If you're mad about getting zoned, or getting combo'd I'd recommend reading Sirlin's book Playing to Win. It's free and will teach you that the game, and how other people play isn't wrong, you are.

You didn't use the Sub-Zero kameo, didn't you?
