Keep it all in here - Be civil and don't flame or bait.

Thanks.


This thread is for purposes of which players can come in here and rant about certain aspects of MK9 that they have an issue with*
 
1) Wish the training/practice was better. Maybe a useful record feature.

2) wish AI was better, to maybe allow those such as myself a way to practice for a tournement

3) Why does Skarlett not have her own place in the krypt, it's like I'm missing a piece of my collection. A second costume would of been appreciated too.

4) Female characters boobs don't bounce enough.

5) What am I supposed to do with all these Koins now that the krypt is ulocked, they needed to add wager matches.

Aw yeah! Sequel and I now have a place for our venting! Unfortunately I can't think of anything new off the top of my head. But this spot's reserved!

WORST TRAINING MODE EVAR!!!
How do i test punishment, advantage, or anything?

Dummy can't even Block properly!
I don't even know if, and if, when Smoke's new :en OTG Bomb is guaranteed, because i dunno if dummy just fails to block.

Ok i may be a bit spoiled from SC4 training mode, but MK9 practice is just crap.

Tag-Team mode is nice, too bad you can't practice tag with two people in one team lol.

And i have to train against characters with different types of wake-up moves, knock them down until they do the wakeups i need just to test what kind of attacks Smoke's Smoke/Phase towards/away and Shake/Vibration works against.
And i don't even know if that's going to work. Probably not.
:facepalm::facepalm::facepalm:
 
Yeah they clearly dropped the ball for training mode. The guys that worked on the training mode should be fired imo lol.

I'm not even kidding, come on guys that's simple market/competition analysis 101. You see what your competitors (SF4, Marvel, Tekken, VF, DOA etc) have done with training mode and GUI and you do BETTER, not worst lol. How hard is it?

Please hire me for your next games NRS, at least I know my shit unlike 60% of your crew. :p
 
I put the cpu on expert in training mode and used the record function thinking that I would be able to watch myself and critique my play, but the playback was all messed up. It just showed me and the CPU whiffing moves like we were shadow boxing or something.

Who hired this guy, WTF?
Computer in Training mode always does an EX wake up when wake up is on.

I dont hate the moves necessary, I hate the fact that some have absolutely ridiculous recovery times.

Oh and these five

Yeah the offline recording is an interesting feature but the way they programmed it renders it completely useless.

Not only can you NOT record yourself vs CPU, sometimes the game plays your recorded inputs BACKWARDS (my character starts backdashing when he should be dashing forward, he does F, B, 1 when he should be doing B, F, 1 etc.). Very annoying.

I noticed a lot of weird stuff happens if I try to play with the AI settings. (for example if I set cpu to auto-block, roll and always jump) If I record a combo then change AI settings again and play it back, it's gonna be all messed up. Like the game forgets what AI settings were used during the recording of the match. Sad, really.

Noob
the online netcode still being bad, how much jumping is incoraged in this game, terrible training mode, and raiden's teleport online

Why Cyber Sub Zero doesn't have an alt?

Talking about boobs, did you noticed that blood always spills in middle perfect of Sindel's and Mileena's, but no that way on Kitana?
 
-Cyrax being a 3 in 1 character. It's the same character for pete's sake, why the drastic difference between all 3 skins? Also, his net and bomb glitch. If you accidentally fire a blank net or bomb it drains your meter. Thats retarded. Whats even funnier is that NRS obliterated the bomb trap and at the same time brought back the bomb trap with his latest skin, although the timing is more strict yet his regular robo skin is completely castrated and crap tier. Bomb "trap" should have never been removed. Cyrax is toast from up close without a useful command grab setup... :facepalm: EDIT: With his MK3 skin he has different cool down timing for the nets and bombs. I've shot a crap load of blanks due to the difference in timing.

- I got Skarlet for free while others had to pay. She has no alternate costume and she's bugged. a 17% throw? Come on! Jax is probably cringing right now. I can't believe the audacity NRS has.:facepalm:

- The netcode does not have HUGE improvements. It has HUGE bugs. My shit keeps desynchronizing and when I win I get "Game session no longer available". Certain costumes bug the crap out. This shit ain't improved, it's a different kind of broken. Oh and the lag is still there. :facepalm:

- Armor for Nightwolf and Johnny Cage? Really? :facepalm:

- Ermac's 2,2 force slam/push link gone?

- Kung Lao still has the tools but damn, he was castrated.

- Crappy training mode

- Crappy arcade ladder (What happened to the oldschool ones with endurance matches, mirror matches etc)

Thats all I can think about, I'll come up with more later.

NRS's biggest mistake : Skarlet . I hate her , that's all :fuckyou: .
And my boy CSub should have MKDC Sub's moves lol .
 
Kano is broken beyon belief: NRS terrible school of design

Why does kano have possible the best projectile in the game?
They are close to the fastest, decent hit box and the recovery is not bad?

Add to this his ball spam and ample grappling options i just think he is damn broken.

When Kano starts spamming those knives it seems like some characters are definitely trapped.

Am I the only one who feels this way?

Why do character have that many tools and in most cases they are useless. If this is an attempt to balance characters then its one for the weak minded.

People spent all their time complaining about Kung Lao and i doubt he was that OP in the first place his executions is harder than Ermac, scarlet and sub who get easy 30-40% damage combo yet every time they only seem to talk about nerfing him. of all the rush down characters he is the only one not to have a mid-hit mid combo all his specials are punishable on block and you pretty much have to play recklessly like perfect legend for your "Rushdown" to even work.

What are they going to do about Raiden?
