Changes to Kitana look pretty good, not being able to break fanado is a significant buff. I’m also happy they finally fixed Jade’s kick KB and being able to hit confirm from any part of her B2.

Wonder how/what augments got fixed. WIll I still do 10,000 damage fatal blows on D'vorah or 2000 damage kombos on Baraka? Why do they care?

They probably care because of AI Battle balance.

Any chance the new forge recipes are gear?

Because I've realized at least 75% of this game is that I obsess about collectibles and making Kano , The Terminator et al. look pretty. I still haven't even tried playing against another person, online or otherwise.

Stop Judging Me.

I haven't either. There's so much drat single player content in this game that I just haven't gotten around to multiplayer. Plus I'm such trash at fighting games that I always get completely demolished. :sigh:

SonicFox is the absolute best thing about Netherrealm fighting games.

At this point Netherrealm might as well just add him in as a character in the kombat pack.

Would be a lot more entertaining than other joke characters like Mocap or Meat.

Spawn stream starting up now.

e: Forward throw has a KB when Spawn's back is to a wall.

e2: War Klub special move breaks breakaway.

e3: One of his abilities is a buff that either gives him FB early for less damage, or more damage on normal FB.

e4: Tourney variation one is GUNZ!!! Anti-air and low parry. Also divekickkape

e5: Variation 2: shoulder charge with amplify pop-up; cape glide (can be done twice in a row, DB2)

e6: Variation 3: chain stance; ground chain (full screen); command chain grab (amplify is invisibility; when invisible takes 20% more damage + deals 20% less damage)

Spawn seems interesting. I wasn't expecting a guest character to be so mindgames-heavy but many of his KB requirements and specials seem very anti-meta.

Does he have an intro where Johnny tries to get Spawn to put on his sunglasses? This is important.

Spawn is such a natural fit for the edgelord 90s design principles of Mortal Kombat that it's hard to believe it's taken this long for him to appear as a guest character.

There used to be bad blood between the editorial staff at both companies, which is why you haven't seen a Marvel/DC crossover comic for 15 years or so.

That might change in a bit because one of the major participants, Dan Didio, left DC last month.

New patch

I haven't kept up with MK11 since playing it obsessively and then selling it within the month of its launch, but I just got it for PC. Kitana's the only character I feel halfway competent with (if my opponent allows me to implement my cowardly keepaway strats), and this makes it look like they just buffed the hell out of her? Nice.

I played a dozen online matches yesterday and was surprised by how overwhelmingly popular Spawn was, and how bad people were at using him/shutting down my obnoxious zoning, but I didn't realize he had literally just been released.

I was a fairly competent Cassie with a rushdown style that netted me about a 50% win/loss ratio in ranked at the time. Also her fatality where she kicks you in the nuts so hard that your skeleton flies out used to get dudes tilted enough to come on voice.

I think I sold it before I got to play more than a handful of ranked matches. I won all but one of my kasual matches yesterday, but I was completely helpless in my first foray into ranked, where I'd get hit with combos for Tekken-esque damage and mixed up to death. His ranked w/l record was only around 80/70, so I think I'll stick with kasual until I learn how to punish at least a couple of strings from characters that aren't Scorpion or Sub Zero.

The first time she did that fatality on the terminator and the endoskeleton popped out, we were howling laughing. It was just so unexpected and stupid.

Spawns cape Fatality or Basically any Fatality where the Termintaor gets skinned or where his Endoskeleton is pulled out is funny to me.

Why would this kill the Termintaor? You just freed him from his flesh prison!

Gotta be real with you, you'll get better matchups in Ranked. You just need to lose enough matches for the algorithm to sort you properly. Kasual is just whoever, so you're actually way more likely to get matched up with a No-Lifer clowning on people.

Ranked will give you fairer matchups on average, particularly during a KL season when more people are playing.

On Cassie's nut kick fatality, at least, it looks like the endoskeleton's arms and legs get ripped off internally and it's just its head and torso that fly out. It's clearly still alive (its eyes are glowing red and angry) but I imagine it's pretty disabled.

Keep in mind that this is the same series that faked people out with "ERMACS" and "Kano Transformations". It wouldn't be completely out of the norm for them to "accidentally" reveal a character who's not actually in the game.

Yup, but at the same time pretty much everything about this game has leaked in advance through official or unofficial channels and it never stops being funny. Like, we knew half the KP2 roster before the game even released.
