MKX Enhanced Online BETA General Discussion

I just hope their servers can handle the load in an open release.

12 seems like it'd break armor well, but b4 breaks armor brain dead. Like serious end combos in 212 xx short run xx b4 with pretty much any timing and you'll break armor.

12 hardly does, B4 does break, but there was a huge risk of using it before, now is much safer option which he didn't had before in between guessing a delayed wakeup for a throw or a F2, now Scorpion can use B4. It was a multi tool purpose but it had a very big risk in all of them if blocked, now its a much more viable option.

What i like the most in this change, is that finally i don't really need to outwalk some long ranged strings and normals, i can keep ppl in check with B4, so when they start respecting the disjointed hitbox from B4 and not press buttons afraid of the knockdown or counter, i get to play with my own range now, either they like it or not, some footsie knowledge will be required.

And everyone says Scorpion Shit, needs to be reminded that Scorpion only has armor on wakeup and only now he has a true armor move to escape pressure.

Been waiting for good netcode for 4 years now. Thank god.

Evo is gonna be insane this year. People will actually have a legit way to practice online....I expect many upsets.

I think the matches essentially function as P2P. I was under the impression that the servers are only there to arrange the matchmaking and receive uploaded stats and data. That is my best guess/recollection, I could be completely wrong.


Regardless, NRS has to have put up a metric ass-ton of money to convert the game to GGPO. I think that if available bandwidth becomes the issue, NRS comes prepared. You don't tackle an unprecedented, multi-million dollar overhaul of your most visible and successful title only to clam up and get cheap when it comes to purchasing access to some extra bandwidth should they need it.

You are correct but thats how the current netcode works with input delay model. With rollback/GGPO you need something to save 'states' for the game to rollback to when both clients dont agree on the current state. (i.e. servers). Im not familiar with what kind of load this produces but hopefully you're right.

In regards to your second statement, yes, but this is NRS we are talking about =). After injustice and initial release of MKX I have little faith, but happy they are on the right track now

The mixups you are talking about are extremely reactable.

It sounds like matchup inexperience with Takeda is clearly your biggest issue here. The only way to really become proficient at blocking his OH whips into (non-EX) low Kunai setups is to see them and get hit by them so many times that you learn how to spot them before they come out.

Find a good Takeda player and keep playing them. In a couple of weeks, you will be laughing at yourself for ever getting hit by whips into kunai at all.

Yeah, by the time we were done playing I had figured it out...but the first few matches he got me good with it. In the end I took the set 5-3 before he left. I just thought it was kind of cheap. He was really struggling to get a win and pull out any tricks he had int eh bag. Thanks for the tips.

IrishMantis said:

Yeah you still have to guess

But if you are in the corner and you see a throw coming you obviously gonna try tech the side your on, because if you guess wrong you are still out of the corner and Johnnys throw only benefits him in the corner he throws them far away when midscreen

Click to expand...

yup, good point haha

When's the netcode supposed to come out officially for all players? I'm assuming alongside KP2, but I don't think that was actually confirmed. 'Tired of wondering whether I'll be lucky enough to get a limited access code and seeing nothing of value in my email.

"No I don't feel like filing my fucking taxes right now. Give me that damn code!"

Ggs, it was pretty solid considering I'm almost in Canada and you're down in Brazil right? I'd say things are looking up. I've played a couple people from TYM so far including Shazzy, Zoofs and some others and for the most part, it's very stable and quality. And it's going to get better as things iron out so that's exciting in and of itself. Being able to play this game regularly again is gonna be a real treat.

Precisely! Even though we are on different hemispheres, those matches were amazingly smooth!

I've also played a really long set with @SatsuiYesHadou , VGGs, man!

My hype for SFV is at the lowest right now, thanks to NRS's outstanding job in developing this new netcode. I played a few matches in the SFV beta that just opened this morning, and all I could think was "Damn, I just want to play more MKX, why am I even here?"
Now that both games have equally good netcodes, I can clearly see which game is the most fun for me!

Facts. My hype for SFV is so low that after today I'm considering not even getting it anymore now that I can play competitively on MKX. Now I'm like "do I really wanna learn this game when MKX is playable online?" If I feel like this now I can only imagine how I'll feel when I'm playing my girl D'Vorah on this godlike netcode.

It's over. This netcode is a winner. I'm strongly considering sitting out SFV now, something that if you would have asked my 2 weeks ago I would have laughed at.

You could even change your name.
Instead of Salt Shaker, you can be Truth Dispenser; with all salt turning into the scrub not knowing what to do, until you shower them with the truth.

Can't cancel b2 anymore, 113 rising stunt is fixed

In the beta you can no longer jail combos into grab interactables on block anymore

I've run into this issue a couple of times in beta. I don't know if it's specific to Jacqui or what. Sometimes it looks like the fighting is too low on the screen, like the camera is floating around or something. Am I just seeing things weird or is this an actual glitch?

Starts at around 27 seconds.

At around 48 seconds, I do Jacqui's 1212 screen, and the camera seems to go crazy floating up and down.

Has anyone else run into this camera issue and can describe their occurrence of it? (characters & when it started during the match etc)

thx

Same thing that happened to Scars also happened to me in a similar way, and I was also using Jacqui. SG variation. Fighting against an A-List Johnny. Bugged me out for a few seconds.

A guy in the Jacqui thread said it happened to him too. So that's 3 people with Jacqui. Not sure if that's a coincidence or not but just letting you know.

Wow I checked my mail today and got a ps4 beta code!

Same here! This is a day to remember lol

So from what I've played I don't see any changes to subzero, has anyone seen any difference in him?

I was hoping for b33 into iceball working on everyone, ex ice clone combos or clone in general working consistently, and/or corner combos being consistent. Not even buffs really, just fixes.

Or at least a change or buffs to unbreakable, and cryo. anyone find any change other than no longer having to worry about his combos dropping due to online as much?

Any spare ps4 beta key guys???

Happens to me too, also only when using Jacqui. I'll edit in a video later this afternoon.

Thought I recorded it but it turns out I didn't, sorry. Just went and watched all the matches I had saved from beta but none have this happen.

It only occurred once, and for maybe five or six rounds in a row. I was FA Jacqui is all I can remember.

Has anyone had the sound get low when getting close to interactables? It gets low then returns to normal after 5 seconds or so.

Variables:

Me: PU Jax
Opponent: Almost positive Mileena
Stage: Dead Woods
Wearing headphones

This has only happened once.

I kust got my beta code for ps4. Can anyone tell me how I can sign in to play the beta. I can't figure it out

A lot of people seem to have got the code the flood gates are open

@TKB wassup bro. Check your email, did you get a beta as well?
