i'm sorry, but in mk9 kitana's fan lift hits crouching low kick. wtf? why does her lift have a hitbox that extends from the floor? that's stupid! in mk2 and umk3, if you predict correctly, you can crouch low kick her out of fan lift. it's just more nonsense from a game that is more concerned with giving weak players the ability to spam special moves and activate x ray, without having to suffer the consequences if they get blocked.
how can you defend scorpion having no recovery frames on his xray? if you can predict when your opponent is about to xray, you should be rewarded for blocking it. you shouldn't let people just say " OH WELL, IF I MISS MY XRAY SO WHAT". kitana also has a dial string which, once activated, propels her forward out of harms way. if you try to perform a traditional crossup on her, she can just start mashing the dial string and she is propelled out of crossup range. the problem with this is magnified because of how slow the characters float in the air when you jump, so by the time you hit the ground she is done with her dial string, which has like 2 frames of recovery, and she has traveled 3/4 distance from you. now, i could accept allowing the player to PREDICT my crossup and dash under it, but not just allowing certain players like kano and kitana to be able to activate those stupid dial strings over and over and over and over, with zero recovery frames, and which propels them 3/4 from their original distance.
and why does kano have a vertical ball, a horizontal ball, and a downward vertical ball?! absolutely absurd. then he has a fast projectile, an unblockable x ray, an airthrow that has him fall on top of you, which gives him ground position, and that stupid combo string that scoots him forward over and over. who thought of this stuff, an 8 year old?
they have to add more recovery frames, and decrease the amount of active frames. characters like reptile and nightwolf and raiden are just stupid; there is no serious fighting game that lets you just spam moves like these characters can. in umk3, try to spam reptiles dash or nightwolf's dash or jax's, and see what happens. you just cannot allow people to be able to spam these moves. it's braindead.
and ice clone walls are not zoning; in umk3 you can jump over them. i just don't like how people are allowed to just execute moves without a plan, and without recovery frames.
and kratos's level with the 3 options? wtf they are all stupid and look half arsed),,, the basic combos are way too easy (x,x,x) or (square, square, square) lol! and some people just spam 3 hit combos over and over till it becomes a 15 hit combo!!, and your stuck just watching and hitting the block button hopeing it will break it (lui kang, Smoke) but that complaint is more about the players than the actual game, im all up for 15+ hit combos but please show some creativity not just the same 3 hits over and over!
