exquisite tea posted:In terms of having robust single player kontent and progression, I think MK1 is clearly not on the same level as MK11. In terms of creating a fun competitive fighting game however, MK1 evolves on that greatly while doing away with some of the most annoying poo poo about MK11. Higher damage, lower defense, no more counterpick doh-see-doh, fairer footsies. Everything is generally more unsafe which means you actually get to press buttons and land combos (this is a hypothetical statement until I stop dropping every one I do). I know probably most people here don’t play MK ranked at all but this is probably the best one to pick up and learn. MK11 feels like someone sought out to design a fighting game where all the system mechanics are wrong and I'm glad MK1 is almost a complete 180 from that

Servers appear to be down for maintenance for the next hour or two. Bummer. Wanted to enjoy some Kombat with my Koffee.

On release is always the best time to play a fighting game because you'll be blowing up some dude who's never heard of the block button then get styled on for a 44% wombo combo because you walked right into the only button sequence he's committed to memory.

Babe Magnet posted:baraka loving rules in this game, both in the story mode and also in gameplay. He's so flashy and extra someone on the team loving LOVED Baraka and Reptile in terms of rehabbing them to be heroes in the main story and giving them awesome movesets. Baraka alone has INSANE poo poo i.e. the popup grab, the unga bunga autocombo that can cancel into specials, the meterburn bone missile that causes bleed, the Super Star Wars blade spin. He's a family man now and he also has the best prefight interaction in the game with Johnny. I like how Shujinko is literally just Pai Mai. From the beard flip to the heart explosion fatality lol.

going from M11 to MK1 is a weird feeling, but not a bad one. It certainly feels slower and the moves seem more intentional and take more time. In MK11 I mained Jacqui Briggs and she was great, I was eventually a terror with her. But for MK1, I think I'm still trying to figure out how to even play it in a way that's fluid and makes sense. I'm waiting for it to click but it hasn't happened yet. for those of you in pre-release and who have had some time with it, how would you explain the best sort of perspective for playing? I find myself just sitting there throwing basic poo poo and haven't moved up to a lot of combos yet (which again is frustrating coming from MK11, which I know well at this point), and I'm looking for a character that I can be fairly quick with and who has some combo options that aren't too tough to execute.

Raiden, Liu and Scorpion have very simple combos, add in a straightforward kameo like Sonya and go practice.

FYI if you're looking for a good throw assist you should see if your character has back throw synergy with Darrius. Able to get about 26% for one bar or a fatal blow with Smoke. I know kung lao/motaro have similar setups for other characters with their teleports, but if those don't work for your character (it doesn't for Smoke) it might with Darrius and its arguably better than Cyrax or Jax's 2 meter front throw options for usually worse damage https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxoNvZbDir4

Sub-Zero is great in this game, he doesn't have the flashiest or most complex poo poo but he does have it "all" i.e. a freezing projectile so you'll never lose a tradeoff, a dive kick with EX popup, an easy af popup in one of his basic 2-button kombos, a screen-length low attack, and the best defensive tool in the game with his ice Klone (which also lets him do tricks in the air by activating it in a jump.) You can pick him up and just do poo poo based on his simple principles. Reptile is another good simple character with his slides/dashes and the force ball being able to pop up people, he has great reach to rush up to anyone at anytime. Ashrah, Shang Tsung, Geras, Kenshi and Johnny feel like the "high concept" characters so far i.e. they have a lot of features/stances/boosts going on in their toolset you have to learn.

I just got an extremely OP talisman that literally makes you fart at your opponent and I swear it will drain their lifebar within seconds if they stand in it. This game is incredible.

Sareena is probably the best all-around kameo if you haven't had the chance to settle in with a character yet, since her daggers are basically all-purpose combo extenders for virtually anyone. If you want to be a degenerate ignorant menace like Jacqui in MK11 then you want to select Johnny Cage on that start screen.

I liked Shinnok in MKX and Noob in MK11. What kinda playstyle are those characters considered, and what would be closest to that style in this game?

Nobody really comes close to his menagerie of poo poo to contend with but Smoke does have a lot of that "where is he coming from, oh jesus" allure. Combine him with Motaro or Kung Lao's kameo teleports and you can really gently caress with people. Babe Magnet posted:I wish Reiko had a more interesting looking stance/moveset because he's really fun to play. Reiko is a dumb gently caress and his MMA moveset and stance absolutely hammers it home. He loves to stay in neutral with those kicks and then can just slide in and groundpound you. He's the oogabooga moron of the cast, the devs understood the assignment much like how they finally said "you want Sareena? ok well remember, she's an ugly demonette, enjoy." On another note they also understood how Havik is an undead feel-no-pain freak with the insane armor you get from his moves. The arm bash special in particular can legit tank several hits.

Smoke is kinda dirty. Also I wonder whether his teleport cancel not costing a bar is even intended cause that sure does seem like a bug to me.

Reiko being a dumb brute force meat head makes so much sense honestly I'm glad there is an Ungabunga character in MK now lol Has anyone played Rain yet? 2 more days before I can try that spicy guy. Saw that he actually isn't just a hard zoner but has great combos as well TulliusCicero fucked around with this message at 20:06 on Sep 17, 2023 |

TulliusCicero posted:Reiko being a dumb brute force meat head makes so much sense honestly Rain feels like someone dropped a character from another game into Mortal Kombat, he's finally reached peak wizard status. I do not understand how his poo poo works yet but the things you can do with his portals are so sick, legit just pop out and immediately do overheads from the air, pop them up and keep loving them up. His round-the-world kick def has massive synergy with kameos if you get the timing right.

I hope it is intended and it stays because I really disliked MK11's design philosophy that anything remotely fun to do has to cost meter His db4 teleport cancel isn't very good anyway, it's got a ton of recovery time and you really have to catch the opponent sleeping to do anything with it. His bf3 cancel is pretty key to his combo structure, are hard limited to once a combo, and they're not that easy to do so meterless seems fine to me- I'd think if they intended for those to cost meter they wouldn't have put a cap on how many times you can use it in a single combo I think his real dirty move is his ex db2. Going invisible above and behind the opponent leaving them to worry about an air 344, a mix, or a throw while their special inputs are suddenly flipped is insane, and even if you get predictable with how you use it they cant really stick out a poke to stop you because it has armor and they'll get knocked down with good oki. I love how accessible they made invisibility for him this time around, it was largely a gimmick that wasn't worth it compared to his other busted stuff in 9

I've reset the chests so many times and will just book around that place getting stuff that I often will never use I remember seeing the requirements for shang tsung's throne room with the severed heads and thinking "no loving way am I doing that grind, NRS" but I did The Invasions mode is okay I guess, but it's not as fun if you just still don't really know how to fight with whatever character

Gameplay wise I'm liking this a bit more than MK11, but with story, presentation, and even the character models I like MK11 way more than MK1. MK11 had full on Tagawa supremacy instead of some dude doing a Tagawa impression.

Just ain't the same. On the topic of voice acting, overall I feel like it's worse in MK1 than MK11. Something is also wrong with the audio mix in that the volume and clarity of the voices just doesn't seem 'right' in story mode. Meanwhile I really hope the game gives you use the classic skins the kameo ninjas have for sub zero and scorpion because hate the man-bun ninja haircuts.
