Why we love Mortal Kombat X

I love it because it has Kitana, Tanya and Mileena in it.
Yes, I'm easily pleased... Is that wrong?!?

Ya'll folks still don't seem to understand what "ping" is. People have such a hard on for "What's your up/down speed, bro?! You on dat McInternet shit?! Huehuehuehue."

Im a network tech I understand ping I was just being a smartass lol

I enjoy this game a hell of a lot more than I have any Madden in like the past 5-8 years

I've casually played every mk since the first came out on snes. I actually still play the first 3 on my snes once in a while. This game does a good job of capturing what I loved about mk as a kid and updating it for 2015.

Complaining is the only thing the NRS community is good at

Your profile icon looks like killer frost wearing sub zero's mask with magneto's helmet on top of it.

It's amazing. The graphics, the sound, the gameplay. The list goes on. Ive been playing MK games since I was four and just have it in my blood now. I know if the me of twenty years ago could see this game hed been rupturing blood vessels in his penis from shear excitement and exploding with semen every second his eyes dared to look at the screen.

I was in awe when i learned mk9 was coming out and wasn't just some delusional wet dream of mine. And when it arrived i couldn't believe i was even allowed to play it. Every second i got to play was pure enjoyment and once again i feel the exact same way. I can't even fathom ever getting bored with it. It's a goddamn madterpiece and when i get home from work sit on the couch and turn it on i feel nothing but the same childlike excitement for MKX that i did playing MK1 all those years ago.

I love it because it's giving NRS more than enough money to get started on Injustice 2: The Footsie Strikes Back.

I also love that people are making such a big deal about the netcode being crap because it should mean that NRS will actually try and give us a better one next time or risk getting blown the fuck up. I'm not getting my hopes up though.

What I do actually like though are the character specific intros. Those are sick.

I love the fact that the netcode failing worse than what ever could be imagined has given me all the justification I need to not buy the next game without proof of solid online playability beforehand.

What grade did you get in Statistics class?

IMO, I got a 96% in my own percentage based opinions class.
Characters currently in my game: 27
Characters with only one viable variation? one. Sub-Zero.
1/27 = 0.03703704
Round .037 to .04
1.00 minus 0.04
=0.96
96%, boy.
Keep your salt in your "I'm a free Kano player" threads

Just to be honest, I don't love MKX. I love Injustice. But it was easy to see it was going down with MKX on the horizon. I never had the confidence to compete, though, and I wanted to be ready for Injustice 2 when it comes out. So I thought I would play a game I don't necessarily go crazy for but has the same community, so it would be a similar experience but with a game I wouldn't be worried to get beaten around in.

This is why I enjoy MKX and play it. Even though I don't love it, I don't understand why any of you "fans" cry and moan so much instead of adapting to the game your beloved studio put out, the step forward they clearly believe in.

Ah makes sense to score so high when you are both the teacher and the student. I got scared for a second.

Also, Kano is ass in this game.

He's ass if you only play one variation, but the options he gains across his three toolsets are so unique from each-other than I doubt any player is ready to mop a first to three against a Kano who's competent with all three colors of Kano.
Safe EX up ball at midscreen is such a huge buff that the rest of the Kanos ignored... It allows you to bait opponent's armor safely and do 15 or so percent. oh, and wakeup with minimal risk.
Kano has actual normal, reactionary anti-air with B1...
Amazing corner carry across the board, standing reset guessing game against Commando rocks, but getting int oall three variations should be in a Kano thread that we can move to.
I don't want you to stay free, but if I were to ask to practice against you online you'd probably complain about online.

Wrong thread, move somewhere else, thanks.

The community is not TYM, but spending enough time here on testyourmight will certainly make anyone think that.

It's a lot more fair than MK9, I can say that. The roster is decent, I guess, and the X-Rays and Fatalities are to die for.

But the best things, for me? The costumes.

They. Look. Awesome. They're definitely a step up from MK7 and 8, maybe even 9 for the guys. Maybe. <sarcasm>

While I have lots of gripes with the game, the graphics, attention to detail(at certain parts) and the animation are to die for. And mainly just nostalgia is the thing. I have a history with MK in general that just isn't with SF or Tekken, etc.

I like it because I like the combo system with run cancels and all.


I don't care for it as much as other nrs games though (for reasons) but it's still fun

If you made 2 of his variations into 1 character he still wouldn't be better than Lao or D'Vorah. 3 variations with multi purposes, but each having their own glaring weaknesses in MU's. I'd take a 1 variation powerhouse like Lao, D'Vorah, or Shinnok any day or that.

EX UpBill gets blown up on WU's when people decide to crouch block and full combo you, so you're looking at a WU game of "land the WU or get full combo'd", and if you get a stand you have to block pressure. It was good for about a few days. As a string ender it's better to use knives as an EX than UpBill. I rarely use it anymore when I play Kano (that HQT Pred is a better than Cyber in every way variation so I've been grinding there).

B1 is good in some MU's, but in others it can be too risky. Corner carry is great. So much weakness that it'd take me days to list them all. In a vacuum Kano looks decent, but when compared to cast members one by one the truth of his inferiority stands out.

And yea, I despise this joke of an online they created. Haven't played online in weeks. But I see you live in Buffalo. Do you ever come down to any nyc or Li events? If you do we could always play in person as I attend something at least once or twice a week nowadays.

Tag me in a response in the Kano thread so we don't off track this one too much.

I love it as it is hands down the best NRS game produced yet. This game OWNS mk9 in every way.. such a huge step forward. I love the pace and the pressure and I think it is amazing how balanced the game is. All these fighters with such wacky abilities and pretty much everyone is viable. Sure there are top characters, but that is in all FGs, unlike all you can make anyone viable if you try. I think this above everything else as well as NRS's patching to keep the ballence running is why I like MKx so much.

As for TYM, well... this forum is famous for being bad manured and full of complainie pants whiners. You just gotta ignore it. You will see a 20 page thread hating on patching and the very next day see a 20 page thread asking for buffs and nurffs after a character has been out for only a few hours. You just can not take it seriously. Laugh and move on and know that there are plenty of people enjoying the game and still exploring it.

Madden is some shit. I will still play it when it comes out and go to tournaments when they have them but I am a lot happier that I started playing MK

Lemme fix this up for you.

Been playing this game every day since it came out and love the hell out of it. Made me seek out the local fighting game scene more and I'm glad I did, met a lot of great people that I get to play with frequently. Even got our monthly tomorrow so even more to look forward to. Life is good.

In conclusion, <3
