Mortal Kombat X - For The Shaolin!

[bork]

Don't have to be good with sub zero to destroy 95% of the players online as long as you use w/e style has ice klone. People don't know how to counter/react to that or Scorpion's teleport so you run into those all day.

You don't have to be good, period, to destroy the idiots online.  For example, yesterday I had a typical match against a brain-dead clod who picked Johnny Cage and whose strategy was to jump forward.  That's pretty much it.  He started off the match by coughing loudly than "singing" "I SMOKE THE WEED I SMOKE THE WEEEEEEEEEEEEED EVERY DAY" and then got super-pissed off when all I did was throw fans at him with Kitana and stop his jumps.  "YOU FUCKIN' CHEATER!!!  YOU FUCKIN CHEATER IMMA KILL YOU!!!!!" he screamed, as I sat there laughing my ass off and getting a flawless victory.

And that is the general population of MKX online.  MK9 was the same.  I think the general violence/gore hook of MK still draws players in who have no idea in general how to play fighting games.

Does PS4Share grab chat audio? Shoulda grabbed that

 

Don't think it does.  I really wish I had capture equipment set up for shit like this.

Jason is out today for people who bought the season pass.

More on how he plays:

Slasher and Possession are great. Not sure about relentless since the buff is slow as all hell to activate though giving a grappler a teleport is scary in of itself.

That Jason Takes Manhattan inspired Brutality tho'

[nachobro]

Slasher seems REALLY good. Those longer range normals are cool, you can catch dudes from far away

So that PC version.  Just...wow.  High Voltage fucking it all up BAD.

Tanya seems pretty fuckin' awesome.  I haven't played this game in at least a month and got online and encountered one of many recent Mileena spammers.  Almost beat the guy with her.  Had a close fight with a Jacqui spammer.  Beat a pretty good Ermac player.  This character seems like she was made to be an "anti-spammer" and has the right tools to shut a lot of the krap you encounter online down.  Her styles also seem much more varied than the other characters.  I prefer the pyromancer style since she gets two ground and two air fireballs.  The character also has a Cammy spiral arrow style move and Chun's axe kick.  May have finally found my main or alt to Fera/Torr.

Dragon Nagitana Teleport Mixups are beastly. Teleport up and go into naginata stance. Crossups and keepaway for days

Also her fatalities are ridiculously brutal. NRS excelled themselves.

[toku]

Yeah Dragon Nagitana is the one that grabbed me the most from jump. Pole shenanigans and long ass reach. Cassie being the exception I think I like characters with long reach.

Xenomorph Baraka

Pretty 'meh' on these characters.  And SFV will be out in two months so I don't think I'll give a shit anyway.
