Evil Canadian/Rooflemonger is a lab monster, I've always enjoyed his vids.

In the early tournies, I really like the dynamic of players changing their Kameos based on their opponent's playstyles.

It occurred to me that MK11 pandered directly to everyone whose childhood peaked during MK3 and MK1 is doing the same for the 3D era babies. This can only mean one thing: The release of Shaolin Monks 2 is imminent.

The original game that was going to be SM2 was called "Fire and Ice" and featured Scorpion and Sub-Zero as the two main characters.

Question for PC players: does the option to mute other players mic work for anyone? I have it turned on, restarted the game to check it stays on, still hear other players. So far nothing unpleasant really, but I feel running into a torrent of slurs is kinda inevitable.

You have to mute both yourself and the other player.

Several decades of testing in MMA have determined that this is the best way to fight. When it first started it was like "let's pit a black belt in karate against a black belt in tae-kwon-do and see who wins" and then very quickly everyone found out there is no counter to just getting on top and beating on someone who's prone.

Although I guess it hasn't been tried against swords and axes and poo poo. Dana White needs to get on it.

Ashrah/Scorp is a very fun pairing. You can get improbable combos off of unlikely strings like her 223 or f423, her back throw or even her uppercut with fire breath. Once I stop dropping everything in the air against everyone but the training dummy she'll be a real powerhouse.

Protip for the back throw timing: You want to call Scorpion at the exact same time you would say "a two-HOOOO" in the triple slash sequence, assuming you are watching the tootsie roll pop commercial from your childhood.

I do not understand the “special” meter outside of blocking. If you have 3 bars, and you’re at 30% health or less, you can do an X-ray attack with your kameo?

Schnitzler

Special meter and the X-Ray attack/Fatal Blow are not linked. You use your special meter to amplify attacks, which usually costs 1 bar, although a few special attacks cost more. You also use your special meter to break out of your opponents combo, which costs all 3 bars.
Fatal Blow/X-Ray attack on the other hand becomes available when your at 30% health, as you say. Your Kameo must be available, but it costs no special meter.

Thank you!

So my special meter just amps up abilities by pressing R2 (PS5) on the final input of most abilities? And I can press Forward+R2 to break out of enemy combos if I have all 3 bars filled? Do I need my Kameo bar for either of those?

Another maybe dumb question: I find it easier to move with the joystick, but combos and abilities seem easier with the D-pad. Do most people stick to one of the two, or use them both?

I’m a fighting game novice, but I have managed to beat my 7 year old daughter in a few matches so I’m feeling good.

Exactly, you can check the move list -> special abilities to see which abilities you can amplifly, how much it costs, frame data changes and so on. As you say, for amplifying you have to press R2 at the same time as the final button. For the breaker you can hold Forward+R2 and it will come out as soon as possible, no need to time the press here.

Amplifying does not require Kameo, but I believe you need to have your Kameo available for breaker? I am not 100% sure on this to be honest.

As far as I know you use either one or the other. I believe for MK games the D-pad is preferred by most players, but ultimately whatever works best for you is what you should use.

I just got the high score trophy for the gateway towers. The easy way to do this is to try for a five floor tower with no modifiers, which thankfully spawned in the hourly towers this morning.

If you warp to the first map, the village, and stand on a low level node, and then warp back to the gateway tower, it lowers its level to something trivial like 1 or 3. From there it’s very easy to get flawless rounds and end with a brutality which is the most important part. Should easily put you past the 5 million requirement, I got something like 9 mil.

There's a large "all fatalities" multiplier on the score for normal towers. I think I got like 12 million on a novice tower med difficulty with it when I usually would get around 3 million. Dunno if it's the same for the gateway towers with this achievement.
