What defines MKX's gameplay most to you?

[Big Pampering]

armor...

 

[FluffyKittenPops]

15% Luck, 20% Skill, 15% Concentrated Power and Will, 5% Pleasure, 50% Pain

 

[Eldriken]

15% Luck, 20% Skill, 15% Concentrated Power and Will, 5% Pleasure, 50% Pain

And 100% reason to hate this game!

 

[Rager Da Prince]

Most of the top tier is defined by how much block stun they can leave you in. Then pressure you til you died.

 

[SaltShaker]

Legit can't decide between these choices. Add "corner" and an everything above option would probably be the best answer.

 

[Rude]

You can tell whose first fighter was MK9. 50\50s and setplay are present, and have always been, in a LOT of fighting games.

It's been awhile, can we let it go?

 

[xInfra Deadx]

Also, no wakeup invincibility save 1 or 2 wakeups...

 

[BillStickers]

"Retarded collision detection" would be my first choice, but block stun comes in at a close second.

 

[Lt. Boxy Angelman]

Also, no wakeup invincibility save 1 or 2 wakeups...

Seconded.

 

[kabelfritz]

where is jip?

 

[Wetdoba]

Running and armor

 

[iSuckAtFightingGames]

None of the above...

The single most defining aspect of MK is the Fatalities... /thread

Still I know what your getting at... but again.. I think it is not in the list. I would say the focus on attack pressure. The lack of true block, when chip damage is so huge and forces players to be hyper aggressive is what makes MK what it is. This is the one gameplay feature that makes it play differently to every other fighter in existence. It forces hyper aggression.

This feels like another thread that's disguised as a 'what I hate about MKX' thread.

The gameplay is fine overall and well balanced for this most part. 50/50's, advancing strings and weird block stun aren't new gameplay concepts that NRS decided to feature for their new game.

Run and delayed wakeup are the newest gameplay features. Run is easily what separates this game from MK9 and Injustice and most 2D games in general.

 

[BlackViper415]

I'd say the variation system defines MKX gameplay as a whole. Even to casual players who don't know what a 50/50 or blockstun is, the variation system is incredibly important to understand. Not to mention the main thing that sets MKX apart from every other MK and arguably almost every other fighting game.

 

[VenomX-90]

Id say the run mechanic.

 

[Saltea Moonspell]

Run mechanism, corner carry combos, insane corner game, way to much 50/50, lack of good AA (MK9 like).

If You Are semi smart or retarded and have shit ass execution skills with a bit of lack You can win the "flip coin game".

Love MKX <3

 

[CabooseLeGoose]

B2 MB Rune.

 

[Kingshootahz]

15% Luck, 20% Skill, 15% Concentrated Power and Will, 5% Pleasure, 50% Pain

15+15=30
+20=50
+5=55
+50=105
-5Quan jump punch=100%Vortex?

Why are 50/50s bad? You need them to open up an opponent. Or else the game would be a defensive turtle fest. You taught me that.

Why are advancing strings bad? I thought Kitana's f2,1 string was a cool string and really helped to define her as a character in MK9.

Why is Block Stun bad? It could be argued that this rewards the player with better Matchup knowledge. Or if your character has a good reversal special move it could add a very nice benefit to your character.

Or blockstun could be a reward on some low tier characters like Jason who has excellent block stun on his b1,2,2 string which I love.

Also, no wakeup invincibility save 1 or 2 wakeups...

this is a wonderful change imo

i despise wakeup invincibility

 

[xInfra Deadx]

I like the change as well...goes well with the delayed wakeup.

None of these things are bad, I just don't know why these 3 options are the only ones to choose from when there are much more prevalent features in the gameplay of MKX, like run and delayed wakeup, that make this game more distinct than other fighting games.

Because the best new and cool features of MKX were left out in the poll, it gives this thread a negative vibe in my opinion.

I agree completely. I should have not had a vote thing and just had people write whatever they thought. Oopsie on my part.

I saw this thread more of a "what is the defining characteristic of the meta in MKx."

I would have to say advancing strings. It's what I think makes the dominant S-tiers. They all have easy effective safe ways to start their BS from a dash away. So then they command the Match.
