Man I am loving Kotal Kahn more in this game than MKX. I'm not great at these types of games but I like to think I am decent with the mechanics, and kotal kahn feels more of a match with my play style than others I've tried so far.

I also love the tutorial section for this game, it's more than I ever expected to be honest.

Really struggling to get the Kombo Limitations challenge done. Even the demo doesn't seem to actually work...

Having a lot of fun with Kano, chaining his grapples is really satisfying.

I still need to spend some more time with Jax, Frost and Noob but I'm at least narrowing down my character choice.

This is funny shit.

Use this preset with Noob Saibot to demolish the towers.
GRAPPLING - 5
RUSHDOWN - 5
KOMBOS - 30
REVERSAL - 20
ZONING - 0
RUNAWAY - 0

I'm just leaving this on in the background while I do some chores and coming back and hitting "okay" every so often. If you have some way to automate that, you can farm Tower with reliable success without even playing the game.

I am gonna watch some fights later to try and peep some combos and tactics.

Alright, Looks like I have to disable NVIDIA highlights because people are using it to grief. Come on NRS, why do you put this shit in?

So I just played a couple chapters of story while offline, which apparently means I don't get the completion rewards???

I've since gone back and tried replaying these chapters while online, but I'm still unable to get koins/kosmetics/player cards/etc.
Like the requirements for unlocking some of these player cards is "Complete Chapter 5", which I've already done.


What are my options here?

You should be able to claim your rewards by going to the notifications tab of your kombat card.

Was lucky in the Krypt. Kept getting Brutalities back to back in multiple cheap chests. That was nice.

Also, found the spiders but they weren't scary. Just annoying. Still doesn't match that one jump scare that got me real good.

This is my first Mortal Kombat game since Mortal Kombat 2 and I'm loving it . Feels like a good one to jump into thanks to the returning classic characters . I forgot just how bad I am at fighting games lol.

I am a little lost with the story but overall I am having a blast . Yet to even touch the krypton but I am hoping they patch it up by the time I get into it .

In my case just the fact that there's spiders at all is enough for me to never touch that mode.

Same goes for that bug cave stage which unfortunately is gonna be way harder to avoid.

Thanks for this. Thought I would try out the AI and Noob is just kicking ass with these settings.

Apparently, you can use a controller or stick with Turbo button to hit X for you and it'll be automated. Wish I had such a controller.

Noodalls finds MK11's PS4 input lag to be at 74ms, or 4.4 frames on average.



Which is to say, very good. On the fast end for current gen fighting games.

By comparison, his most recent numbers for SFV on PS4 are 69.7ms or 4.1 frames.



Neck and neck.

What? PC is awesome.

Sorry but there is no metric of PC ports where this qualifies as "awesome". The PC apparently is not a platform they can support fully; all the balance changes that have already occurred, along with the Towers of Time stuff that was outlined today - none of that currently applies to PC (or Switch for that matter).

Seeing what Krypt mode looks like on the Switch is an experience.

Playing PC story mode and it feels very good so far.

I have no idea bout MK lore, so the story isn't exactly gripping me, but it's fun enough.

The fighting is great. First time I've wanted to get good in a fighter for a while now.

LMAO, this is almost exactly one of my AIs for AI battle.

My main one for farming towers right now is a zoning Cassie AI, but that Noob one does pretty good too

As someone who never touched Liu Kang before this game, was he always this awesome? I really dig his classic look, so decided to try him out and have been shocked how much I like him.

Definitely the best the animations have ever been. There are still some wonky "punching over a 3ft invisible railing" jabs, but most of the crouching moves look suitably painful this time, at least.

Gonna try this out.

Can confirm, this works.
