Mortal Kombat 11 Roster & Stages Discussion Thread

*shrug* I always found it more convenient to have a move list available in a setting where you could then immediately use it. "Move lists" on their own without immediate access to sampling them always seemed INconvenient to me.
I gotta say, it's weird playing a new MK game and actually play the footsies game. Baraka's F4 is godlike, and so is his "gutted" special. His command throw is also really good, but it requires further testing, which I can't do in this stress test.
Also, Scorpion's "Misery Blade" stance is going to be a problem for newbies.

Once you get used to the movements and such and it clicks, boy does it click!
I'm honestly just a casual player but being dropped in the pool with everyone as the first and same time and getting to grips with things quick has been rewarding. The only match I've lost today in the 15+ I've played was the first one. lol
Oh, I completely forgot you can tag moves you want from the list so they're on screen...lol

Have to agree with this haha. Scorpion players scare me. I can't react quickly enough to all the teleports and that one string that throws a low kick in on the second hit gets me every time even if I know it's coming.
I like playing as Baraka but I win more with Scorpion lol
I feel like I get away with a lot more bullshit as Scorpion though. Hasn't made it any easier to defend against it though.
Also I forgot that NRS games have that thing that tells you if a player is wired or wireless. Why doesn't every fighting game have that!?

That moment when Dead or Alive 6 has it but Street Fighter V or Tekken 7 don't!
Since XL, NRS has been running circles around basically every other fighting game dev when it comes to online.
Perks of being in an area where a lot of people have shitty internet, I suppose.
To be fair....................................there are a lot of things Tekken 7 doesn't have.
Still.
After all this time.
Them folks at Double Helix knew a thing or two about netcode.
A realistic answer is that it wasn't ready yet. Geras' bio listed him as "Terminas", which lined up with the Steam Achievements leak.
But also, these empty boxes:
They're making people think the base roster is actually 28 or 29 characters, which lines up with a supposed leak/rumor listing three secret characters on the base roster.
So, another less realistic answer is that NRS wants to quash those theories.
Finally had a fight against someone who was somewhat on my level of skill and wasn't popping off combos like it was nothing and raising my blood pressure.
I lost more than I won, but it was still a much better experience and I got a better handle on the game.
Do you want a code?

Let's not forget Killer Instinct which came out three years before MKXL please.
To be fair, it think its mostly the western devs who consistently do good online, its the japanese side that still lags behind in that dept with varying success
So i got in even tough i am not in the US but have a US PSN account (gave it a shot but didn't actually think i would get picked lol). Game looks and plays awesome. And the netcode seems to be pretty great as well based on the few matches i had. Since you only can check moves ahead of a match if you go into the customize character part of the game its a bit of a tossup on who you play against. Most of the time i get my ass handed to me by people who are already dishing out combos while i am at best lucky to get of a standard string with some special moves here and there.
Overall looks and feels great already. Hope the open beta will have a bit more content to try out (at least some practice mode or something).

Oh man I wanna play! If anyone has a code it would be appreciated, i'm away the weekend of the beta so it's my only chance to play before launch.
Yeah without any way to practice or even look at my moves or combos for more than half a second before getting combo'd to infinity the beta isn't doing much for me. It's cool that you can preview the intros and outros tho
Your best bet is to honestly just luck upon someone who doesn't know infinite combos or whatever. I just fought against the same player for nearly an hour and a half and, while I was losing more than winning, I took that time to learn the ins and outs of Skarlet and get an idea of how to block and counter Scorpion.
During the intros, you can take a quick peek at the move set and just use different rounds to practice them.
Watching Kethup and Mustard play each other and lab stuff was great. The game doesn't seem slow to me at all. Sure slower than MKX, but almost everything is slower than MKX. The main complaint everyone seems to agree with is that the dash needs to be faster, and Ed Boon already tweeted that movement will be improved in the final build.
Can't wait.
Can't wait.
Sonicfox did a write up that I understand about 10% of since I'm not good at fighting games but he is and so this may be good advice?

That combo breaker sounds horrible.
I always hate them but this seems like a new level of annoying.
The combo drop and launcher after a FB are both weird decisions that need to go away.
The game absolutely does not need any form of Combo Breaker, the combos are short.
They can keep the knockback attack from a FB, but the launcher is a really bad idea and makes certain strings way to risky.

Yeah, that was a pretty sound writeup from what I understand about the game and it makes those mechanics look really questionable. I don't know if those are considered too big of changes to make before launch as I imagine they're about to go gold very soon. Maybe day-1 fixes? I do hope they re-work those.
I do agree with no chip kills on DOT. I tend to think no chip kills is good to except for Fatal Blows.
The perfect block should be just like alpha counter like SFA and SFV. Just a get off me move and reset the game for both players. And delete combo breaker pls they are always ass imo.
I got one. I'm at my gfs all weekend and my dumbass brought the XBX instead I can hook it up
Why do they keep teasing him like having him in MKX story, and on that menu picture in 11?
I know Boon likes to play games but if he's not actually in these teases are very frustrating.
I don't care if they said they'll never repeat DLC, just give us our purple prince!
There's a quote from around prior to MKX's release from Boon where said something that was either no character will ever be sold as DLC twice (so Rain can never be DLC again) or no character will be sold as DLC twice in a row (so Rain wasn't DLC in MKX but he can be in MK11). The full quote at this point is lost to time as no one can seem to remember for sure what he said, with some believing he said the former and some believing the latter.
The FB and combo break stuff sounds borderline broken. I hope it's not too late to change how they work.
So no Reptile as it seems... I know he was shit on a lot... Design and storywise and people nowadays do not care about him.
But for me.he always will be the badass green ninja and first secret character ever and I find it sad that he won't be in according to the leaks
Alone for his role in the first MK movie he will be always be my number one.
Still think it was a mistake trying to make him full reptile somehow because it hurt him a lot
