Option Select Tech (Poking, Normals, Specials Input While Holding Block) - Seems Legit...

hell yeah this is how fighting games should work. it shouldn't be impossible to frame perfect punish
It destroys some pressure mindgames for free, so I disagree. I'd rather have less of those frame-perfect punishes being required if anything.

Edit: okay, I'm actally fine with some buffering, but only if you let off the block so you have to actually read when opponent does his reverse mixups instead of just mashing poke and always winning that game.

yeah but this doens't open them up to counter hit setups? in the video with d'vorah in the first post she wasn't losing out all the time. i think it would be lot better if counter hit properties existed in the game tho

It's funny that major MKX tech like this gets posted, it doesn't get front paged and Maximilian's video of dubbed over pre-fight introductions does. Illuminati confirmed.

Gotta achieve your Hollywood status first.
Just because you use Hollywood variation doesn't mean you're Hollywood as well.
Actually yes it does and I have been Hollywood my whole life. Just ask me where I was born. Southern California. Where in Southern California you ask? About 40 minutes from Hollywood. First time I saw the Hollywood sign in person you ask?????????? When I was 25 or 26 years old....

WAIT A MINUTE, RIBBZ WAS 40 MINUTES FROM HOLLYWOOD AND DIDN'T EVEN LOOK AT THE HOLLYWOOD SIGN UNTIL HE WAS 25 OR 26...WHY???



Too Hollywood.

Hollywood confirmed.

The 1+2+3 one is the only that is getting taken out according to paulo, at least for the time being.
I heard they are removing the special cancel one as well but not confirmed just some people saying that Paulo mentioned it on stream.

Does this mean that all tactics that involve ending your string early and going for a grab are useless? I.e., you can just mash standing jab while holding block to beat things like the Kano b1 pressure that coach Steve does constantly at next level?

If so it looks like 50/50 characters just got even better relative to those that have to go for grab mixups and stuff (I.e., cybernetic Kano).

I know this makes 50-50/Vortex characters better, but does this affect footsie-oriented characters in a positive way?
