    Noob Saibot General Discussion Thread

    If the OS is still in the game then when inputting b3 immediately slide your finger to down, then hit up. You can't confirm into it. Timing is too tight. That's why they originally made it into an OS. Again, not sure if it's in the game still. Haven't played MK11 since before Nightwold dropped...

    B3, 1+3 is a gamble, but the risk is worth the reward. It should be used when you're in neutral and you think you've conditioned the opponent enough where they're scared to make moves and is keeping up with your footing. It will throw them off sometimes as they're not expect the b3 low...

    Sick skin, but why did NRS not code Noob's shadow to replicate what he is wearing. It is a clone of him after all. Skarlet, Jade and Kitana give Noob problems. Against Skarlet I would advise that you'll need to out neutral her and make her wife her normals. It's hard because she controls the...

    Samurai Shodown 2019 Discussion Thread

    @SaltShaker, essentially everything @wetdsaid about the online is true. You play with people you know who have a good connection and you'll have a grand ol' time. Play with someone who uses tinfoil and angel hair spaghetti to configure their internet and you'll be wanting to go to they reside...

    How do you feel so far?

    I love me some guilty gear! Still waiting on Zappa or Testament to make it to Xrd though. :/

    How do you feel so far?

    MK11 is a pretty shallow fighter. The game has the same problem with the variation system as it did in MKX where some characters had imbalanced variations while other character feel like they have their limbs cut off and seperated into two different variations which makes those characters...

    The Future of Noob Saibot.

    Comparing Noob to Akuma is a bit simple. I say this because Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat 11 are two completely different games. Yes, both are predicated on neutral, but neutral is rewarded more in Street Fighter than it is in MK 11. For one, In Street Fighter, you can combo off kf low jabs...

    Game is Unplayable

    It seems like a lot of people are dissatisfied with this game. I don't blame them. The balancing is off. S tiers have tools that break the fundamentals of the game and give anyone who is outside of A+ range a difficult time. A+ characters are really good, but aren't unbeatable, so characters in...

    What is death spin? Is it that move where he twirls his chain around a few times? If so, you punish it with f2,2,1 x shadow tackle, or f2,2,1,2. Whichever you prefer. If they do it and they're close to the corner you can punish it with f2,2,1 x shadow upknee, b1,1+3 xx amplified teleslam, b1,1+3...

    Noob Saibot General Discussion Thread

    Has anyone played online as of the new patch? I swear, the netplay is getting worse and worse! So bad even that when I play people with full 4 bar wired connections I still get insane lag spikes, teleportation and match disconnects. I have great internet, too, and it's wired. I shouldn't be...

    Should Last Breath and Avoid Chip Death be revised?

    I see your point; however, other fighters that deal chip on attacks have no chip kills. Don't see why MK11 can't have it.

    Noob Saibot Tournament Variation Combo Thread

    I find the d1 after spirit ball to be tight, too. So tight that I don't bother with combo as it will.more than likely drop due to the recent change on online delay. I just stick to his 39% combo.

    Should Last Breath and Avoid Chip Death be revised?

    I'd like to suggest an idea that is used in a lot of fighting games: one can't die from chip damage. Why should anyone lose a match for playing defensively and waiting for an opportunity to make a comback?

    Nerfing the Top Tiers

    Sub is actually a good character. These tier lists are either trolling or just plain dumb. He isn't broken by any means. He's just a good character.

    The Future of Noob Saibot.

    With all due respect, do you play the character? He isn't a zoner by any means. His only viable variation makes him a punishment character. If anything needs to be huffed first it's his seeing double variation, then maybe he would be the "premier zoner" NRS said he would be. You're right about...

    The Future of Noob Saibot.

    I'm creating this thread separately because I feel that this topic has become a big talking point as of late, and I don't wish for it and the responses to be fragmented and buried within the general discussion thread. This will be a relatively long read, so I do apologize in advance, but I feel...

    Damn. Haha. I will say that Centrion isn't that bad of a matchup. Noob can teleslam in between earthquakes hits, but the timing is odd. You inch in and need to be patient, but maybe I haven't fought any good Centrion's. It seems a solid amount of characters give Noob some issues, but only...

    Noob Saibot General Discussion Thread

    A valid point; however, I'd like to clarify that I wasn't insisting, nor suggesting that Noob be given 50/50 mixups. I just wanted f4 to be special cancelable as a way fo have another low move that leads into a combo. I don't want a 50/50 mixup character like Sonya. Although, @M2Dave , throwing...

    will non-shang-owners be able to lab the matchup?

    Welcome to competitive gaming. Card games are the same way unfortunately.

    Noob Saibot General Discussion Thread

    With all due respect, and I do respect your opinion, M2Dave, NRS has made statements regarding how characters are suppose to play in the past, especially with MK11, and they're not what they say they are. It happens. Noob was designed to be a punishment character and that's what he is going to...
