Story mode was absolutely bonkers and I loved it. What an end sequence.

I am enjoying slowly making my way through Invasions, although I went to the training area and bought an EXP token and it made me so strong I can basically steamroll every encounter. The limited inventory for items is also really stupid, I accidentally threw out a Talisman I had beefed up lol they also aren’t all that useful.

The spread of character types is also really weird. Like, Physical and Lightning are only weak to Acid and there’s literally one Acid character (Reptile obviously) besides Shang Tsung, who only has one Acid-type attack. Feels a lot like Pokemon first generation when things were horribly imbalanced. I guess I could just use whoever for the fights instead of going by weaknesses.

I like opponents that walk right into my sword for 400 damage, then blind armored wakeup into a block for 400 more damage. NRS should match me only against those players and not the ones who like to press R2!

Pretty much matches with what I liked and disliked. Having to constantly discard the stuff that you kind of don't even care about that much anyway is annoying, because you're spending time making a decision that doesn't even feel meaningful. In the end I just started randomly dumping whatever for my own sanity.

The konsumables are fun for temporary hilarity like the uppercut one where you apply it then walk in and almost one shot some character in the next fight haha.

As for the damage/resistance types: it sure did seem to me that the types were character-level, not ability-level. But I didn't analyse it that much or at all really.

Also for the love of god please get rid of that stupid smoke/burning modifier on some nodes. It's obnoxious as gently caress.

You can actually one shot a good amount of the fights with an uppercut without using the consumable if you just put every stat point into attack.

The types are individual to the different attacks. If you look at the move list it shows what type each move is. For example, all of Havik’s melee moves are Chaos but his blood ball moves are Blood. The character’s elements determine their weaknesses/resistances. Havik is Chaos/Blood, and since Blood is weak to Chaos he’s weak to Chaos. It’s an interesting idea poorly executed imo

Might clear this off the hard drive to free up a bunch of space. This one just didn’t do it for me. I don’t think I want to do another invasion season and all the unlocks you get by doing it don’t feel worth it. The towers of time may as well not even exist, it’s just there to grind currency. The upcoming guest characters also don’t excite me.

yeah I haven't played since a few times around release and realized I hated Invasions + they still have so much poo poo to fix like the P1 advantage/pinning moves/loving loadouts. It was a rushed release, I think this was honestly my worst purchase of the year given that I paid for the Big Boy edition. Figured the last 2 games gave me enough safety to do so but shame on me for buying what ultimately was fulfilling a quarterly target lol

I watched Mortal Kombat Legends: Cage Match. Not perfect, but it's definitely the best of the four Legends movies.

It's funny in how the first half hour has all these 80s action movie tropes, only to remind you that it's a Mortal Kombat movie. Like how we see a montage of young Johnny being bullied at school and then training in martial arts, culminating in him breaking a bully's arm so badly that the bone tears out of the skin.

They also do some fun character reveals. Like how actress Jennifer Grey is actually Sareena and how the movie is partially an origin story for Mokap, in the form of Johnny's loyal assistant Chuck.

I got really pissed off at the move list UI in this game and not being able to pin moves.

Do you want to do 36% or better every time you hit the enemy? Then you need to try Raiden and Darrius!

Here's the damage you can get off these starters:

jump kick = 36%
d1 poke = 40%
12 = 40%
f43 = 40%
f224 = 40%
f34,f34,3 = 47%

Here's how it works:

starter > df2 EX > 3 > df2 > summon Darrius a split second after the second df2 hits > jump kick > df2

I have no idea how to make videos or else I'd make a video. This poo poo is crazy.

Sub is really simple and fun but his damage is kind of sad. Raiden is VERY easy and does 40% with the amount of effort that it takes to do 25% with other fighters. Liu Kang doesn't have to work too hard to hit 30% kombos and he's a great all-rounder.

As a totally not biased Geras main, I would also like to recommend Geras. He has a few suspiciously simple strings that get you 25% rather easily. That said, you want him for his Kountdown charges. Down-Back 3 or 1-2-2-Throw. Get three charges and you can just freeze people for a few seconds of free damage.

I think his Down-Back 4 is an infamous move from MK11? The one where he explodes sand that disrupts just about anything. And his jump attack, too.

Geras was ridiculous in MK11 because for most of that game's lifespan he had an incredibly abusable 6f down 1 that was only like -3 on block. You could literally make your entire Geras gameplan fishing with D1 pokes, then pressing one of your counterhit strings for 387 krushing blow damage. Then if you ever got knocked down just slam your 6f full comboable reversal on wakeup for 350 more damage. Simply awful character to play against in that game, much more fun matchup in MK1.

That was the old timeline. Now he's just a guy who knows how to steal absorb his enemies' powers, and also (KUNG LAO TOWER ENDING SPOILER) was so powerful and egotistical that Liu Kang had to wipe his memory, leading to Kung Lao re-teaching Shujinko the same exact lessons he taught him before but now with added lessons in humility. Still, making a solid attempt to 1v3 the trio of Kung Lao/Liu Kang/Raiden because he was an egotistical prick....

So Kung Lao taught him the art of having an ego that will get you killed. Just lucky he came across Liu Kang and not Shao Kahn. He's been known to turn a head at egos

I think it was more he forgot to tell Shujinko about humility, leading to Shujinko getting an ego and snapping. But yeah, his head would be on Reiko's spear if he learned from Shao.
