Calling everyone a premier zoner is an inside joke for the KK at this pointThey're lucky he looks so cool.
Cause it started with "he's like Cetrion, heavy zoning" and this was me

Yet, there's basically only two characters who are actual "zoners" as an archetype with Skarlet and Cetrion.
From my understanding, if you don't like FBs of any kind, then NRS games are not for you.
There's a game for people who don't like zoning called "street fighter v"
What's does "FBs" mean? Like, is this an acronym that I should?
Fireballs. Basically every single character in this game has some kind of projectile.
I'm really excited for Shang Tsung because he encourages me to learn every other character so I don't completely suck with him.
Though I'm disappointed how in the trailer he was able to use all 4 ninjas in one match when that's impossible if they're all custom moves.

This hair is in, I have it.Yeah, that would be great. They were clearly playing around with hair styles in the final months before release anyway. I might be wrong but this isn't even in the final version with the short hair style is it?
Decided to go into the Krypt last night before bed to have a shot at the shrine just once and unlocked maskless Skarlet.
With that outfit?

Cleared the Krypt! ...well ok cleared is a big word since you can respawn chests and I dont have all the gear but hey thats one mental milestone done. I guess Character Towers would be the next but honestly I dont know if I have it in me to do every character. Did Jax, Sub and Scorp and thought about picking up Noob but his Crushing Blows are kinda bad for AI.
Unrelated but I really wish more variations ware Tournament friendly, my fear is that the Shang variation that uses any ninjas sucks or only uses like one of them. I want to see ninja morphs at actual tournaments. For MK12/Injustice 3 they really should think of an ability system thats more tournament friendly.

Oh shit misread, er I don't know if that is with that particular outfit actually. I think it isn't :/
I've thought about the number thing for other stuff. Costumes, controller layouts. I think it could speed a lot of stuff up.
I think kustom variations just stay in kasual, there's some bullshit in some of those moves. Unless of course, NRS wants to balance everything. I wouldn't mind 1-2 more tournament variations though. Was there any word on them adding more?
On another note, any Skarlet players out there, how do you deal with a Johnny Cage or a Liu Kang? I went up against a couple of them in komp last night and I basically got chipped out. Their d3/4 are fast and have a decent range (well, Cage does, I can't recall Kang's).

For any fast character I basically stay at mid distance from opponents and abuse my long range attacks and zoning. The b1,2 has some really good range and you can use it to punish whiffs, which goes to a krushing blow with damage over time. f2,1 is another good string you can start at mid distance and most of the time people aren't ready for the low for some reason.
Her b3, 4 is a great low combo starter if you have the opponent against the wall and the first hit has some really good range too. You can get 300 dmg easily from wall combos.
And then punish. Skarlet can get a lot of damage from a punish.
Thanks for that, I think my problem is I don't always stay mid distance from my opponents. I think I play too aggressively and get myself up close. Which is fine for corner pressure but not smack dab in the middle of the stage where she struggles.
Don't forget to use the tentacle! It's your best tool to put distance between you and the opponent.
Love the tentacle, actually the only move I routinely forget to use is her Blood Splatter. I swear in all my 400+ matches I don't think I've ever purposely used it.
Also, another random question you might know the answer too. Does her Heart Pierce variation have an amped move that replenishes health? I know her amped parry does but I seen someone pull off a kombo which used an amped move to replenish health. I can't figure out what the hell it was. It was ranked too so I know it wasn't a kustom variant.
No idea as I haven't even touched Heart Pierce, I always use Blood Drive in comp as it's the variation that's more close to my custom variation.
Congrats, and welcome to the club.Finally beat Gauntlet 30.
It's so, SO not worth it.
Elbow you mean? Lol
She is just showing her tendrils, don't worry.
What do you mean?
The towers of time have been patched to allow you to continue playing a series of towers even after the time has expired as long as you don't back out of said towers.
Maybe you're on Switch?
Welp, the good news is now you do. It'll come back around. They repeat fairly regularly.
PSA: There's a super easy, one fight only 12-hour tower right now that gives skins for Jax, Johnny and Sonya.
I have PS4 and it crashes a few times daily. Always on tower completion. You're not alone.
Even those work just fine. I did their character towers via AI that way with no issues.
Maxing kombo/reversal so the AI is efficient with pokes and combos out far outweighs trying to balance the zoning and run away attributes to match the intended playstyle. Trying to set up those characters to zone isn't worth it when just running towers with the AI.

Noob Saibot is by far and away the best. He's the fastest at that setup and wins the most. Use his Dark Sabbath move set.
I would also recommend Skarlet's for SOME fights set up as a zoner with points in zoning, combos, and runaway. Some fights rushing down will get you killed for various reasons like auras, so having a zoner setup for those times is good as well. She's also good setup at 30/30, but that won't help in those instances. But she's viable if you're ever trying to grind for her character tower requirements.
Kitana's AI is busted as she constantly tries to do combos that were removed in the day one patch (unless this has now been fixed?), But her AI is the worst for that reason. There's a way around it though by equipping certain moves which changes how she does combos. I don't have the setup on me ATM.
