Why are you going so hard on this when you make a baited hot take to begin with? Of course there are opinions that are going to differ than yours. What you and most people that speak like this fail to realize is there are a ton of levels to fighting games that are worth their salt. Mortal Kombat is not now, nor ever, the deepest fighting system with the highest skill ceiling. That however doesn't mean that there aren't levels of the fighting system 99% of players will never reach. So you are really arguing semantics that are unwinnable. Higher levels of players can absolutely "press buttons" and do fairly well without knowing all the frame data. I have played fighting games my whole life and almost every single one I don't study and lab frame data over and over which is the ONLY WAY to not press buttons. Otherwise it's just a level of "feel" and limited skill set and that includes the combos.
SF, Tekken, and VF were all available during MK's rise to fame and are examples of games that have had incredibly difficult skill ceilings compared to mortal kombat. Again, this doesn't mean MK isn't a high level professionally played game but really outside of professionals we all are pressing buttons and somewhat living under varying levels of skill that all would be considered button mashers to any competent professional. Your assumptions over these posters and likely myself in the follow up response make so many presuppositions about one's character and deficits of character I find ironic considering you made this post which is nothing but flame bait that's already lit yet you are the one that continues to feel the burn from each reply.
The video speaks for itself. You can't BUTTON MASH ON SOMEONE WHO KNOWS HOW TO PROPERLY JAIL INTO COMBOS THAT'S 100% fact and you can't deny it. If you do you have more to learn .
Have a good day I'm going to LAB .
I can talk to people in a calm tone but if you're going to throw insults and say what i would or wouldn't do you're going to get fact checked hard.
" Typical MK player thinking he is good at fighting games while in fact he is a huge no name that never played anything else. Only MK is full of casual that don't know how to play at all. Outside of this game you won't do ♥♥♥♥. "
This right here ^ is so false . " Only Mk is full of casuals that don't know how to play at all. " This statement implies that pros for MK don't exist . The irony is that sonicFox is an MK PRO and has the world record for winning the most fighting game tournaments in history !
This ^ You're telling me I'm not allowed to show someone like this how wrong they are ? I'm the bad one for telling people like this I'm not entertaining them anymore ?
The FGC is WILD !
Mashing "kinda" worked in MK2 and MK1, but still not really.
Games where mashing works simply allude to the fact that there is a viable footsie and neutral game under the surface. MK hasn't had either for almost 3 decades. I would argue that being able to mash at super low levels is actually somewhat of a good thing.
You might not be able to mash in MK, sure, but once you learn how to type the words on your controller you don't need much else.
Also - I love that NRS thinks they can substitute the word "jailing" for "Frame Trap." It's almost like they don't want to be taken seriously.
Lmfao you don't type words on a controller ... lol what ?
Also fighting games are much more than just memorizing a combo and even the pros will tell you this .
wait ... are you trolling for a laugh XD ?
