Can we all agree that Mortal Kombat 9 is better than Mortal Kombat X?

Not played x but yes.

You are kind of right.
They forgot what made Mortal Kombat great and they went "we are 2deep and 2serious 4 U" with MKX.

They also removed stage fatalities, fuck them

Dead woods, outworld, and some other maps but not as many than mk9

>>339745231
I honestly enjoy mkx alot

The biggest gripe I have on it vs mk9 though was they removed fucking tag teams...biggest mistake ever, I loved being able to go through very hard towers with my bro with him as scorpion and me as sub-zero

Did they added this later or something? Or are you talking about the brutalities with the elements you can use in the stage while fighting?

>>339748450
No like if you remember they had the bridge map on mk9 and brought it to mkx, for the stage fatality they brought it back as a secret (kicking bitches into spikey ground) and added similar secret stage Fatalities while also having some of the stage brutalities still there
>>
>>339748450
Nope, MK XL now has stage fatalities. The Pit (which is exclusive to XL), Sea of Blood, and Refugee Camp.

The Pit stage fatality is pretty brutal looking and the Sea of Blood one is terrifying as fuck.

Right all the way. Fuck the haters.

Glad they get some stage fatalities. It was a damn shame they didn't include them at the beginning.
Fatalities and Stage Fatalities are the core of Mortal Kombat.

I can't even think of any other fighting game were the stage is part of the gameplay in an interesting way.

I doubt it'll be very different from the first. Playing injustice now after all this time really opened my eyes on why nrs would rather have a block button rather than holding back. That and the game is overall shit besides the story mode.

You are correct.
>>
MK9 is better than MKX purely from a gameplay perspective. MKX is just way too offensive and 50/50 based for its own good. MK9 had balance issues heavily, but the fundamentals and core gameplay were amazing. Footsies in MK9 were amazing, and anti-air jabs were very reliable and prominent to discourage this jump happy mentality. MKX has none of that. JIP and NJP have hitboxes so massive that you get blown up trying to AA them, 90% of the cast has a 50/50 for free (some are even safe), and a majority of the top tiers have extremely dirty block pressure and corner setups. The balance in MKX is better and game itself is more refined, but they ruined the flow of the game entirely.

Everything outside of the actual fight is done better in MK9.

>>339755710
This, the comic writer has a better grasp of the characters and actually gave them depth than the game.

When MK9 was out the netcode and people being shit were issues but that didn't stop consistent generals with entirely full KOTH lobbies. The MKX /vg/ threads saw plenty of people per thread, yet anytime a tournament was held or people simply asked for games there was nothing. Maybe 10-15% of the thread was actively playing. It's just sad to see because if you care enough about the game shouldn't you be playing it with others and wanting to improve?

Hey I agree with you, that's just what I think the problem was with the overall community.

The comics were fun but generals depend on a community yknow actually existing.

I mean look at the other places to talk about MKX:
You have MKO which is a ghost town that's only there so people can nitpick about something.

You have gamefags and anytime someone starts a thread with "Let's play guys" there's one reply. MAYBE

And TYM community is just 50% Labtime and coming up with tech which is good while the other 50% is shitposting and complaining about buffs/nerfs or what should be buffed/nerfed.

You can't just depend on lore, husbandos, waifus and tourny streams.

MKX only allows for pure rushdown play, which immediately makes half the cast not viable because they don't have reliable safe 50/50s to constantly abuse. The stamina system is really shitty and the chip damage abuse is retarded. Characters like Cage and Takeda can just put you in these constant block string chip situations and there's so little you can do about it.

MKX is worse than Skullgirls as far as abusing 50/50s and resets go. The balancing is awful because only one playstyle works so all the "pros" are just the guys who know when to flock to the top tiers and when to not be a character loyalist like Tom Brady.

MK9 was a lot of fun to play, but MKX isn't fun at any level of play.

>he says his sponsor won't send him to tournaments
>the reason his sponsor won't send him is because people online say he is shit

It's just such a viscous cycle the second I actually learned why he acts the way he does I felt really bad for him. He gets angry and listens to trolls too much, but the things he says about MK and the FGC in general are almost always 100% true.

The other day he was arguing that people refuse to acknowledge how shitty something about a fighting game is until it is post fighting game. So basically once Injustice 2 comes out, they will be comfortable saying how awful Sub Zero was, how terrible the matchups were, and how unbalanced MKX was. Until then, it's "git gud" which is 100% fucking true. Look how quickly everyone turned on SFIV when V came out.

Yes, besides MKX already got abandoned by NRS. They're paving the way for Injustice 2, which will also be abandoned in a year. I don't know why the fuck is it so hard for them to continue giving support to the game like other companies with their fighting games. They could keep adding characters, costumes and stages. Is it WB's fault?
>>
I actually really enjoy watching MKX, but I cannot for the life of me see how anyone can play it for anything, but money. Same with Injustice. It isn't fun at all. The design philosophy in these NRS games is so illogical.

>take strings from a 3D fighter
>make them special cancelable

This right there defeats the purpose. Pre created strings in 3D fighters work because they have a set end and beginning. You can choose to do the whole string, do a variant ending, or stop along the way. Because these are all set in stone, people can punish and deal with each of them as they come.

So someone in Tekken can correctly deal with a string of moves. When there's a 50/50, usually one option is significantly slower than the other. When they aren't, typically the benefits of landing one is significantly better or neither is particularly powerful. For example when fighting certain characters in Soulcalibur you have little reason to block low because their combo starters are mid and they have no command grabs.

In MK though if you ever guess wrong during any part of a string, it can be converted into a special move that gives them a massive combo for 30-40% of your health. The risk reward is so fucking out there it makes no sense. It also means defensive play just doesn't exist.
>>
>>339764315
NRS supports their fighters more than other companies. The thing is that they just do it at a much more accelerated rate. In the time MKX got ten or whatever more new characters it will take SFV twice as long. MKX had more balance patches than many fighting games had in general.

And in many ways none of this is a good thing
>>
>>339748930
No

they'll lie like they did with X and its probably gonna suck
>>
>>339764315
Because they don't see a point.
They make a new game every 2 years, and each one sells a billion fucking copies.

>>339764346
Strings are not the problem really, MK9 has similar strings and it doesn't revolve around 50/50's.

For some reason after MK9 Paulo went insane and gave everyone 50/50's a loopable vortexs.

And every time someone complains about 50/50s he adds in more. The man is a monster in human form.
>>
>>339763440
>the character got nerfed to Oblivion
We are talking about Grandmaster are we not?
Yeah it's not like he's shit-tier or Cyber Sub-Zero, the character is still obnoxious in the corner.


And he's not even shit he's just a ranting character/variation loyalist with an emphasis on ranting.

Every time he appears on a YOMI stream he sucks the fun out of everything with his incessant whining that all ether revolves around or comes back to him. And you can hear the other guys go "yeah man..."

And in those streams he's not even playing with them despite them asking him to play.

He could be right about some things but nevertheless fuck Tom Brady.
I'm convinced he legitimately has a mental condition.
>>
>>339764736
But that's my issue. The strings lead into such huge things that guessing wrong even once just completely fucks you over.

It wasn't nearly as bad in MK9 because that wasn't nearly as much of an option.

>>339764793
All they do half the time is complain too. Have you ever heard Pig? He goes on huge rants about how terrible of a game MKX is and how the game is pure shit solely because Kenshi isn't amazing. He will go on and on about it and attack the characters and players that use those characters.

Tom just cuts the bullshit. He points straight at how shitty the game is and how many problems it has and just makes it obvious. Meanwhile the people who do well in tournaments flock to the top tiers constantly and try the most abusable shit to win and pretend the game is okay because it's making their wallet fatter.

This is part of why I hate the FGC. They put too much faith in people that benefit from the game surviving. Who is more likely to tell you what's what in a situation where they have equal knowledge of a game?

>the guy who gets paid to play it and gets paid big bucks if he wins
>the guy who plays the game because he likes it and isn't a tournament player

Once Injustice 2 comes out, the Yomi stream is just going to be 24/7 shitting on MKX and saying how much better Injustice 2 is. Once MKXI is out it'll be the same thing

In everything except gameplay yes

Pig of the Hut is a shitty toxic human being and most of the NRS community dislikes him, some straight up hate him, but put up with him because of how popular he is.

Pig also only got as high placements in MK9 and Injustice because he played 2 really powerful top tier characters, Kenshi and Zod.

Now he is playing the absolute worst character in the game in MKX Kenshi. Which is his own fault, you don't have character loyalty in a game like this.

MKX's balance is fine outside of ALien who really needs to be dealt with for being retarded.

All the other top tiers are beatable by mid tiers, the only problem is they have some bad matchups, so you either need a secondary or a lot of practice grinding out shit matchups.

There is only like 4 truely unviable characters.
Kenshi, Goro, Bo, and maybe Sub-Zero.

The overobundance on guessing is still a problem, but one most people overlook as it's really just a matter of personal taste, as a lot of the MK9 players would still like a game similar to that.

-killed both of the tarkatans
>>
>>339766340
Sub-zero...still wondering if he got nerfed..please tell me...is my main doomed?
>>
>>339765540
Pig is also a jackass but he at least said fuck it I'll find a secondary and he picked Reptile.

Thing is you could put both Pig and Tom to work on future NRS games but the problems would still remain, or there would be new problems that come out of the woodwork unaddressed.

It's becoming clear that NRS games are starting to turn into a vicious cycle..at least the online and animations improved this time.

Multiple times, yes. Clone going away on blocked moves was a horrible mistake where jump punches are the size of a fucking football field and everyone has disjoints. I main Sub too and while the character isn't total shit tier he gets bullied by a lot of the cast. Same issue as MK9 where even when you outplay someone, you're still prone to losing. Except Subs corner combo game in this is insane if you land a shatter, nearly 50% meterless.
>>
Sub-Zero wasn't nerfed. Cyber Zero has crap damage but you can slightly increase it by using the drone enhanced bombs in the corner.

>>339766340
I've dropped Mileena and I'm going to tough it out with Reptile, Goro, Torr, Kotal, Sektor & Smoke.
>>
>>339766794
Ya I dont prefer grandmaster too much I'm more of a cryomancer since I need his alt grab, hammer and swords to pull of my better combos, did they Nerf cryomancer?
>>
ON YOUR KNEES!
>>
>>339766538
I wouldn't trust Pig at all with helping design a fighting game or even balance one.

Tom may be a depressed lunatic, but he does have a large variety of experience with a ton of games.

Pig has only played the 3D MK games(and enjoys them) and MK9-MKX.

He only understands NRS's engines, not universal fighting game mechanics.

That's why it's pointless to take his opinion on anything, he has no idea what he is talking about.
>>
>>339766967
Cyromancer got buffed, you can cancel F42+grab in to a special, so instead of a standing reset you get extra damage + a hard knockdown with a hammer, or you can EX it and have a launcher there, or a freeze, etc. Cyro still isn't that great, since Sub as a whole is what's lacking.
>>
>>339767464
Thx m8
I was starting to sweat worried, imaging while I'm playing and thinking to myself
"I swear this combo did more damage"
>>
>>339767752
Cyro can do like 50% midscreen for 1 bar now, fairly easy too.

>>339768425
Ya they need like an actual ranking system and not a big thing of nothing they currently use.
>>
>>339768189
I lied it's actually like 40%. But IIRC it's very simple, just B2, F42+throw~EX Hammer, F42+throw~hammer. You might be able to sneak a NJP after the EX hammer, can't recall. It's really easy to tell what you can add in if you go do it though.
>>
>>339768425
Feels fantastic to win against someone that gives you a 0% chance
>>
>>339769217
SFV does the same thing. Shouldn't the point of ranked be to play people your rank? The worst part is that SFV has actual rank divisions like in League or Hearthstone, yet completely disregards them.

>be Silver
>try Ranked
>fight only Golds and Platinums

Well shit does anyone want to start up a room right now?

I'm on PSN. I could join, but I'm bad and whenever I play people they straightup stop playing me because they get bored of destroying me

>>339754837
Noob
>>
>>339754837
Human Smoke or Noob. My favorite MK characters are Quan Chi followed by Lord Raiden and then Kitana so I'm basically set to always have my favorites in every MK game.

That being said I will be pissed if Quan Chi doesn't make it into the next one. Fuck the story in X was terrible. The character was completely rewritten for this shit and his fate was so underwhelming.
>>
>>339770959
It's not like I'm good either most times if I find someone I'm better than I switch to characters I'm worse with

Well if you're on PSN make a lobby and I'll jump in

>>339772947
Kitana protects me in bed while Tanya tries to kill me and gets fucked in the ass
>>
>>339759519
Erron is really cool too, I agree, but I have a thing for aztec shit and Kotal's the fucking best in the comic so that puts him over the edge for me.
>>
>>339772842
found you
>>
I would personally go:
Kotal>Ferra/Torr>Erron Black>D'Vorah

I like D'Vorah's look and I can let killing Baraka and Mileena slide but her gameplay just doesn't appeal to me.
>>
>>339772842
you are Peachy right?

MKX was a letdown.

Yup.

That jump in the connection had me worried there

I'm happy to have at least hit those Noxious combos online.

Double Acid Ball can be wonky but man is it fun to do.

>>339747575
it's hilarious people bought mkx expecting it to be more than just a cash grab
>>
>>339747575
Well they brought them back for XL but they never did anything with the stages like Quan Chi's Fortress, the Jungle, Hell and Outworld Marketplace

>>339779397
>MKX
>probably the most technically impressive looking fighter
>great stages
>shows improvements from 9 and Injustice

>they kept improving online until now where it runs well

Calling it a cashgrab is fucking stupid. It's not a perfect game, but they put a shit ton of effort into the game,.
