that final tier of tutorials is fucking HARD. I stayed up pretty late to finish the entire tutorial because I thought it'd be easy to bang them out...then it turned into "well i'm not sleeping til i finish this shit".

i still ended up going to bed with two final lessons going incomplete. just need the final combo in those two lessons :(

The only ones that really gave me trouble were the perfect block ones. If they want people to actually use them regularly they will probably need to open up the window a bit on those and the enhancers I would think. Not sure if IJ2 had any mechanics with similar strict timings as really didn’t play much.

I was thinking the same thing while doing all the tutorials yesterday. The timing is more stroct than something like parrying in Third Strike. Its more akin to getting a red parry/perfect parry in Third Strike compared to anything else.

I love MK11 in general tho with its mechanics and flow. Love that they added a KoF styled neutral hop meant to dodge and punish low attacks. Love the different options on wake up. Really dig meter is gained back automatically over time.

There are some weird or rushed issues, but as a fighting game, this is the bes NRS game since MK9.
OH!

Yeah the low/high then counter in the last tier was pretty tough. The two combos I'm stuck on are the last side switch one with Raiden and one of the blockstring ones with Baraka in the final tier. Got everything else done but for some reason I had a mental block on those two.

this game is confusing the fuck out of me. There are two versions of each character? And they have different moves? I practiced the shit out of defaut Cassie Cage, and then the one in the story wasn't the default one, so all the moves I learned weren't relevant.. or did I fuck up? At least they give you a move reference... This is what I get for being old, not playing MK except for 9 for the last 10 years, and being a total fighting game n00b in general. :lol

Even on the Switch, the cut scene graphics are pretty impressive. It's incredible how far even mobile technology has come brehs. And boy does Ronda suck at voice acting.  :lol

A lot of special moves and attacks are assigned via customization. The thing that sucks is what you described. You basically create a class for your fighter. Except for ranked matches.

The presets available for Towers, local practice and vs. stuff, and Kasual online matches, are different than the presets for ranked matches, story mode, and Kombat league when it launches.

I kept myself on a media blackout  for this one.

Having spent a couple hours with it..

The fatalities are fun to watch once, and that's it, and quite a few of them are just so edgelordy.. I wish there was a way to do quick executions. Just a decapitation, or something quick and thats it.  Conclude with a badass pose. thats it.

The non stop spamming of coin earnings and items after each map is so fucking awful. It makes the game feel like a mobile game for the chinese market.

The actual fighting and gameplay is great, but There are kind of losing me with all those various modes, tournament stuff, being able to add costume items to your characters but you can only use them in ranked match online (wtf?), and tbh I kinda dont care about this.

The story mode has incredible production values but, as a fan of mk since arcade days , but the actually story feels like bootleg 500 pages fanfiction bs wrote by fans. It's hard to really put in words how annoyed I am by the storyline itself.

The crashing timelines stuff is  :doge and feels like leftover story points for MK Armageddon. MK11 feels like the MK4 of this generation. Incredible hype and production values, but the end product feels flawed and underwhelming.

But unlike MK4, the gameplay is fine in this game!  The wrapping around it is just problematic.

aren't brutalities kind of quick executions? have you seen those? may be tied to BS like not blocking etc.

There isn't a dedicated training level.  That one is called "Tournament."  The color scheme is obnoxious, but the arcade machines in the back with the old games are a nice touch.  :)

I will never get over how shitty these games feel to actually combo in. Why the fuck do they want you to dial a combo as you land a jump in instead of inputting the combo naturally as the animation plays out? Just feels like garbo.

aka perfection

its not nearly as fast as a umk3 or something but it's still quite good imo. they fixed the major issue i had with x, namely too many 50/50s mainly from jump ins, and the additions like the defensive rolls are cool. hard to tell much else definitively at the moment but i'll just say the feel and flow of the game feel very "traditional mk" in a good way.

i do miss run but also skarlet has a teleport and a healing fireball that i can cancel into at the end of every kombo so it's a fair trade off

One of the reasons why I will always be a Netherrealm 'casual' and just can't take their games seriously.  Even after all this time, MK still feels so damn STIFF compared to everything else.  That said, MK11 does feel like a step in the right direction.

yeah it cracks me up how almost everyone has either a teleport or a projectile and if you have both you are top tier immediately :lol

a lot of the combos in the movelist can be strung together in a longer juggle setup and almost all of them can be canceled into a special move. that's a good starting place if you feel like you are doing low damage or don't know where to start with longer strings.

First set online last night was against a Scorpion player.

Match 1:

THROW OUT SPEAR (ducked)
TELEPORT PUNCH (blocked and punished)

...That's it.  Over and over for two rounds.

Match 2:

THROW OUT SPEAR (ducked)
TELEPORT PUNCH (blocked and punished)
GET CLOSE AND DO A LOW KICK (blocked/punished)

...That's it.  Over and over again.

Match 3:

THROW OUT SP-- I just start doing jump kicks and overheads, which he doesn't block, and he loses and quits immediately.

This is like the MK equivalent of the Ryu/Ken player who does random fireball/dragon punches and jump in RH, crouching RH over and over.  Some things never change.

Then I got matched up with a much higher-ranked player, who completely destroyed me.  :lol

You got it!

Was poking around and found this new mod that fixes some of the issues players with ultrawide have experienced (removes black bars on the Krypt and menus) while making fatal blows, fatalities and the Krypt run at 60fps.



According to a comment it also has the side effect of fixing the cutscene audio desync on PC. Apparently runs as a separate program and binds the F10/F11 to its own toggleable functions. Run at own risk I guess.

Would be nice if there were further improvements to the ultrawide res since from what I've seen around it's a little unpolished in places.

Show me a clip of the that monk stage

Mod video above also showcases it.

People say it's weighty but i still think it feels like shit. I need like 100% of my concentration and the little kombo list on screen to even have a chance at doing my strings, and the the timing is so strict that half the time my shit just completely whiffs.

And the towers are so frustrating. It's hard enough for me to execute in this game when I'm not getting hit by missles from the BG and a burn DOT, when all the "fun" modifiers are on I feel like I can't play at all.

like 1v1 against people who also suck is fun but man, that singleplayer is ass. at least beating on the ai in streetfighter is occasionally fun
