I've lost every single match I've played so far, but am enjoying it anyway! I like these games even though I'm terrible at them.

Everyone's kinda rear end right now cause no training mode but so far just going off pure feel I got high hopes for this game. Lots of great neutral play, easy to bait whiffs, crushing blows I thought were silly at first but actually super satisfying to land. Combo's being shorter is kinda not even a thing, I have already seen scorpion BnB's comparable to what they are in MKX. With Baraka I have gotten a legit like 50%+ damage combo + DoT using crushing blow's in sequence together in a combo. Game kool

I really like the way this game is turning out. The pace seems about fine and I am impressed about how the game looks and feels. It all looks very smooth and does not look ugly at all. I have not been this excited about an MK game since 9 and that seemed like forever ago. Also, I am really excited about playing subzero, Johnny Cage, and Raiden.I really like Scorpion and his new moves and I think the meter management has been streamlined to favor more aggressive play. Although no backdash is going to get some getting used to.

I like how this takes the variant system of MKX and mixes it up with IJ2's "build your own kharacter" take, though thankfully gives you all alt moves at the start and you can play dress-up without you costume affecting stats (since augments dictate this now). Baraka's stuff seems to be a choice of going madhouse rushdown or focusing on flag-related moves. Skarlet is kind of a joker's wild of stuff but also has a broad selection for her certain back, forward Circle pull.

Nice. Say, stress test people, how does the combat feel with the slower, more fluid pace that the videos were showing? (at least that was how I perceived it)

It's kool. Skarlet is a neat character and I love what they've done with her concept in this game.

The main problem I have with MKX is that it is *too* fast for me and trying to combo poo poo together in these tiny frame windows is very hard to someone who doesn't have a lot of time to practice, so going to a more "tactical" game is definitely my thing

Baraka stuff 1) spines is a trap. He has the best uppercut of the 3 characters and you don't need it for anti air, the extra comboability in the corner is alright but its only a smidge more than a corner bnb without it and you get way less damage midscreen by losing chop chop. 2) Basic bnb. Whatever (112/b31) into gut stab, ex, jump 1, f4, chop chop you can get anywhere from 35-38% depending if you did a jumpin or not midscreen. 3) corner BnB, whatever into ex gutstab, 1, 112, chop chop for better damage. Maybe can get a NJP in there too? Haven't tried yet 4) On punish 122(crushing blow on punish), f4, gut stab ex, jump 1, f4 gut stab(crushing blow on big combo) is like 55% + dot damage. In corner you can go F44(crushing blow) into the final gutstab for even more stupid damage

The game looks sick even on PS4 non-Pro, can't wait to get this on PC. I played 2 matches and narrowly lost 1 and won 1 and it was pretty fun even not knowing any of the combos or moves.

I'm the worst person to ever attempt to play Mortal Kombat, but I finally started winning 10 infuriating losses to Scorpion later. I even made one guy rage quit because he didn't know what the block button was and I spammed Skarlet's blood tongue on him in the corner!  Looking forward to eventually not being absolute trash and getting to experience the rest of the roster.

The MK11 roster is pretty good and it's hard to choose a lamest. The dumb bullshit fan fave ones like Sareena and Rain would definitely be competing for that spot if they make it in though fake edit: how did I forget about Raiden, he's in the title of the thread. Though gameplay-wise it's hard to tell.

You have to wait and see who gets clowned on the most in the story mode/fight intros to REALLY know who the loser is. Smoke's got the hair, and whereas everybody else's intro is fairly threatening, his is just shameful. Poor Mileena has such an awesome design in MKX, but she gets roasted in just about every one of her fight intros, and story wasn't terribly kind to her...

I disagree, Kung Lao’s intros had him get dunked on basically every time. Poor guy. What happened to Mileena was pretty messed up though.

I am very excited for Jade. I liked her a lot in MK9 despite being pretty bad, so it'll be nice to have a version that is decent. I mained Sonya in MKX though, so I may have a hard choice to make

I think Rain's kind of neat and way more interesting than cookie-cutter 90s Hot Topic girl Sareena or their pathetic attempt at making some sort of Blade/Morpheus cross-over with Darrius, who ended up looking dumb, small and with a sloppy, uninspired move set.

ha, just a few weeks back I thought "it'd be cool if Baraka was adopted into Kotal's Outworld legion" and now I heard a pre-match fight dialogue explicitly have Baraka mention serving Kotal Kahn. Makes sense given his talks with Skarlet I've heard wherein he got "replaced" by her. Baraka has less meter burns than I though but a lot of burst damage, the opposite of Scorpion's strings and kombos. Skarlet is really fun too but it's gonna take a while to see the differences in all her subtle move variants. It feels like zoning like a day-one lameass is not really possible against smart players; the frame recoveries on most projectiles make it so you can close the gap and stuff people (not to mention the amount of teleports, armored meter attacks, and projectile shields being able to negate a potential Full Auto Jacqui) Now it feels like fireballs and similar moves are mainly to keep pressure in small doses while utilizing bigger, riskier stuff like the Blood Lick or Scorpion's chain spear kombos. It really does feel like a more footsie/spacing oriented game with a bit more strategy to it though it doesn't feel slow, either. This is all from a couple hours though so maybe I'm just an idiot but it did feel like this was very good thus far. I think the only complaints I've heard (that I haven't encountered yet because no pro fights) is the kombo air recoveries maybe being too good or something. Probably will get tweaked but for the most part this feels like a nice progression from MKX though it'll take a bit to get used to the recovery/wakeup stuff and uses for the neat shorthop.

the only thing funnier than Rain being teased and not being in the game would be a Sareena fakeout. Noticed in the story trailer that Sub-Zero was nowhere. Wonder if they're holding back on him in the preview due to having story stuff to do with Noob Saibot.
