The most retarded move in the game

[JacksonKlaxon]

Kotal Kahn has a 3 button unduckable command grab that deals massive damage.He can just spam it over and over and win the game. I wonder what was on the mind of the devs "hey lets make a throw that cant be ducked and cannot be reacted. Damn thats a very good idea". At this point every 12 yr old can make this game better with more balanced characters. Im still waiting for the patch where they actually fix the game and dont change someone's health by half %.

I just started playing as Kotal the other day, and was surprised at how broken he seems. I've only played one match online so far, against a much higher ranked player who had a 77% chance of winning, and he definitely knew how to block the my go-to strings (kept trying to catch him at mid-range with F24 and back-pedaling B22). Then I started grab-spamming him and almost won...definitely didn't feel good, lol.

I'm actually installing MKX as we speak. I sucked really bad at fighting games the last time I played it (99% loss rate online), so I wanna see how well I'd fare now. If nothing else, I was watching combo videos and the combos look waaaay more intense than anything in MK11.

there is a lot more moves like this or far more stronger and super spammable online, if you would play as kotal many games or since start you would know atm this grab is "must have" in any variation of his cuz most of the characters will just EAT you without it, he had a lot of hit box nerfs during that time, he is a lot slower or he wont reach now, his jailing had been nerfed but tbh it wasnt so strong.

just jump

Practice. Powerful does not mean broken. Either short hop to avoid it or get hit by a string on purpose to make it whiff.

[Tevron]

Yeah the MK community ruined Kotal and Raiden the most in the game, giving them stupid mixups. I started off with kotal at launch, in kombat league and all I wanted, was the command throw to change sides. Now everyone can be carried by jesus with these characters.

1
1,2
1,2 cmd grab
1, cmd grab
122 (plus)
1,2 kahn cut
1,2 ("player hops", converts your opponents hop into a combo)
1,2 kahn cut (player jumps, converts your opponents jump into a combo)

Stop asking for stupid buffs from nrs people.

So just avoid it. It's pretty much the only strong close up tool Kotal has. Either avoid it or close in on him and utilize your own tools better than he does.

[JacksonKlaxon]

All of you that say "Just dodge it" dont realize that its not that easy. Read above what Tevron said. As you see its not simple "dodge it"

[Basura Nephilim]

Turn it into a high and all the problems are solved.
The issue now is that, up close vs kotal you have to guess, and jumping on 2/3rd's of his options is wrong. And all those options lead into his command grab which makes his advantage bigger.

It's a mid, it has a dirt easy imput, and ontop of being THAT good already, it buffs damage.
if it has that many advantages, it has no right to be a mid, especially since so many command grabs in this game are highs, slower, ♥♥♥♥♥♥ input and no added benefits for doing it.

jump.

[Clungebucket]

They won't do ♥♥♥♥. Just look at Sheeva's dumb jump move they bought back from 9, it was broken then and its even worse now as you can enhance and delay it.
