    I think the thing that makes my hands feel the oldest in fighting games might be mortal kombat asking you to do special move cancels with back forward

    I used to be able to do this thing! Now getting it just feels random.

    It’s taking me a while to get used to pressing right trigger to block on the Xbox. I play fighting games weird with the controller, I use a mix of the dpad and the joystick for movement and moves, I’ll need to break that habit if I’m ever going to reliably block

    Holy shit noob saibots helmet variants are fucking awesome. Like Jesus Christ, you can basically turn him into a nazghul or Sauron

    Also one of Cassie cages gun variants is called “this pistol grabs back”

    Also there’s a “justice warrior” skin for Sonya

    Looks like NetherRealm is poking fun at the grumblegaters who say they’ve sold out to the social justice warriors because their games no longer have giant boobs and thongs for the female characters. I approve of this

    I managed to beat the campaign on medium without blocking so there’s no stopping me now

    I'm at work and my copy is right behind me in my jacket pocket. Gonna be a long day. I wish there was a way to tell my ps4 I bought it to start downloading whatever the day one patch is.

    There was a mission in Injustice 2 that was like "win a round without blocking" and I was like how the hell else do you win a round

    I keep doing it on accident trying to activate special moves, because I'm bad at fighting games

    Accidentally blocking is the worst because it means the computer thinks you're a coward

    DBF ruined me because I have always preferred NRS style games with the block button but I played a lot of it and spent most of last night angrily, repeatedly,
    realizing holding back was doing nothing

    I tried Injustice some last night

    Am I a big dumb baby coward if I just want to button mash my way through Batman doing cool things, and would it be worthwhile in any way for me to buy MK11 if that's all I'm going to do in that game

    Yeah

    MK is, IMO, the most accessible big fighting game for folks who just wanna fuck around and mash stuff out

    It also has a ton of single player content between the story mode, arcade, challenge towers and also the Krypt which is like a weird psuedo adventure game?

    Also the MK tutorial has something I don't think I've ever seen before that needs to be in every fighting game going forward

    When doing kombos, it has an hourglass surrounding each button press in the kombo, which starts emptying when the window for that button press starts so you know exactly what the timing on that kombo has to be

    It is INCREDIBLY USEFUL

    Okay good! Because I absolutely need to get Injustice 2 at some point so that I can beat everyone up as Hellboy

    IJ2 is pretty dang good too

    And the legendary edition or whatever that has all the DLC folks is routinely on sale for like 10-20 bucks

    I started playing around with this last night, exploring the karacter kustomization as well as doing the tutorial & running around the krypt.

    I did all of these because my roommate asked me to not start the story mode till tonight, as he was busy playing Modern Warfare with his gaming clan.

    I started internally screaming and I'm sure, nearly 3000 miles away, @Chincymcchilla felt it.

    Still annoyed by how weirdly strict block punishes are with their buffering. It's like you need frame-perfect timing for a basic jab punish, which is especially difficult with how varied block stun duration can be, and we all know how awful online play can be if you don't have your block punishes down. It's a weird difficulty hurdle in an otherwise easy to get into game.

    Yes. Yes, we all know that. Of course.

    Krypt spoilers for after getting the headband
    So I found Kenshi's corpse and got the item from him. The first time I activated it's ability I was instantly killed by something. It looked like maybe some spirit thing that grabbed me from behind. I have no idea if that's scripted or a random thing, but now I tense up a bit every time I go to activate that headband.

    edit- not related to the above comment about fighting ppl in the krypt.

    Yeah, there's already complaints that they're purposely making them hard to get to get folks to spend more on microtransactions.

    I'm wondering how long before NR tweets out that it's a bug in the code and they're going to adjust it

    they actually said before launch that they're going to adjust things

    which, i mean, good, but also, if it takes that little feedback...

    i think you get her normal skin if you beat the campaign? I could be wrong though

    And its likely going to be a balance between avoiding too much negativity with the unlocks and seeing what they can get away with to encourage purchasing currency. I think it would be helpful if you could get like modifiers that encourage unlocks for a certain character you like.
