The port of Mortal Kombat X handled by a secondary developer was terrible and abandoned until consumer outcry forced them to fixed it. I think NetherRealm may be trying to handle this one in-house and they need more time for it

I'm curious which designer looked up medium in the dictionary and translated that into relentless countering of every attack with a 30%+ punish, not to mention the things Braniac gets as a boss.

I may be wrong on this, but MK/Netherrealm AI has always been this rear end in a top hat-ish, especially their boss moves/AI.

I definitely liked Captain Cold a lot despite never hearing of him before, the only thing that disappointed me was the lack of a snowglobes reference when he fights Power Girl. It helps that he's pretty easy to get used to playing.

There Diomedes aimed and stabbed, he gouged him down
his glistening flesh and wrenched the spear back out
and the brazen god of war let loose a shriek, roaring,
thundering loud as nine, ten thousand combat soldiers
shriek with Ares' fury when massive armies clash.

But for real, why would they nerf her rear end? Bring it back, NRS.

And make Supes more jacked while you're at it. Henry Cavill looked more super than whatever janitor they modeled ingame.

I'm probably terrible for saying this but holy poo poo this game is now loving amazing for me after learning I can just treat my characters as AI pawns in an RPG. I'm just using the AI for all the stuff in the Metaverse, leveling folks up and equipping them and adjusting their fighting style as needed. I love it. This is how you get me into fighting games, let me treat it as a management game instead! It's nuts that this game is more in depth than most fighting games by having frame data readily available and recording moves so a custom AI can fight you... yet it also lets you ignore all the fighting completely and just meta-game it instead. Bravo to NetherRealm!

Aw don't say that. All the stuff in that video besides what I labeled as the harder combo are all quite reasonable and doable. Practice makes perfect!

They adjusted the way they design female characters with MKX and the feedback was overwhelmingly positive, so that probably played as big a part as anything else.

Oh, no, don't get me wrong. This isn't me being self-deprecating. I am purely 100% bad at fighting games and do not wish to practice or play them enough to make it so I could actually ever do combos. I'm only playing this because my friend game-shared it with me and wanted to play with me. Well, now I'm playing it for the clicker aspects of managing an AI team, but before it was just funsies.

Edit: Hah, I just did the last Metaverse mission where you have to fight Batman as Brainiac and the special mission is "win without using arena transitions" on Slaughter Swamp... which doesn't have arena transitions.

You're right, I mostly just wanted to be mad. I'm actually curious if the game uses some kind of dynamic difficulty system. It seems like no matter what the metaverse says the AI difficulty is after a few easy rounds I'll just get worked over by the AI for a match or two and then it'll calm back down.

I should actually just play more online vs really, but the one match I've done so far got a dude mad at me because I clutched out a supermove win so I'm not sure I can top such a strong start.

Unrelated, has anyone done the math on ~best value~ for box buying? Just eyeballing it's it seems like maybe buying the cheapest boxes might be best? Like I have 350k credits banked and it seems like the only actual benefit to buying gold boxes is that I won't have to hit buy 350 separate times.

I've noticed that the second to last opponent in a ladder is always the one that gives me the most trouble, regardless of who it is. The final opponent is usually a cake walk as a result.

The AI also won't attempt to do any of the in-fight objectives which with the .85 multiplier usually means they won't get you to Gold.
