Mortal Kombat X Official Gameplay Discussion Thread

Are you serious? NRS idolizes SonicFox, they love the vortex, lock you down in a corner the whole round playstyle.

Nobody even plays keepaway in MKX! There are definitely zoners, but nobody uses them because rushdown is just so godlike.

I don't think they're only making the game to fit SonicFox, though I get your point. I'd be so disappointed if the next game is a vortex-fest, I think they should go back to MK9 style mixups.

They used to be in love with perfect legend but now their into furry tweens
 
Im pretty satisfied with liu kang
Since they buffed flame fist has been my go to variation. Though sometimes i switch back to dragon's fire for variety. The fact you can defend yourself when using your flame fist move makes him extremely fun to play as. Hes just as imagined him to be
 
Question, which version of MKX has the worst connection? The XBox One of the the Playstation 4? I'm on the XBox one and I'm catching pure hell online today
 
Johnny Cage? The other non braindead Sonya variations?

Cage was my homie back in MK9. I can't f#%k with him now. He's too much of a goofball. I'll still play with Sonya tho.

Honestly, I'm not having fun with this game. I only play because Injustice is a wasteland.
 
What is it about Wonder Woman that you aren't finding in MKX?

Mobility, high damage, strong rushdown, great whiff punisher, good pokes/normals, no gimmicky setups. I like to bounce around and whoop ass. Aesthetically, I have to like their personality/design. If I don't vibe with the character, I won't level up. That's where I'm at right now.

I like Kotal but his movement is ass. Sonya has crap range on her normals and is way too braindead for me.
 
What do you mean with "braindead"?

You said it multiple times and I still can't make any sense out of it.

Lack of thought. She's so easy to use, a drooling idiot can achieve a winning record with her. She's all about mix ups, mix ups and mix ups. That's it. You don't need much fundamentals to win like that.

What I don't get is why people make kombos so complicated... b3 b4, dont make it like SC or Tekken, just say Down Back A or Down Back X.

A good kombo with Takeda is (Air) Down Back X/Square (Enhanced), and when they bounce back up do an uppercut (down + Y.)

Well.. The number system is universal, it works better so you can specifically skip all the console stuff, it's not really complicated at all.

It's quicker with notations, plus not everybody plays on the same systems. So not everyone knows what Y means on a Playstation pad.

Your terrible Takeda combo can be simplified by saying j.EXdb1~d2 instead of that long drivel you posted.

i am terrible, no lies.

EDIT: did some research on the notations, came up with a WAY better combo that does like 50% damage.

B3 xx exdb1, db1, njp, f21 xx exbf1, j, exdb1, d2

Did I do it right?

If I did it wrong could someone educate me more on the notations

You came up with that or you just copied that from somewhere else? Because I doubt you went from the mindset of Special Move > Uppercut to a 50% bnb within 20 minutes.
