The government comes to you personally with an important mission

[SM StarGazer]

Oh, I get it.

Fred would certainly be able to play the following with ease:

Bojutsu Kung Jin
Master of Souls Ermac
Tempest Kung Lao
Quan Chi
Hellfire/Inferno Scorpion
Shinnok

Hellfire...no. Inferno yes.

But you forgot Subzero

 

[Zatoichi]

Hellfire...no. Inferno yes.

But you forgot Subzero

Dash cancel pressure in this game is something Fred could easily do.

Bojutsu Kung Jin
Master of Souls Ermac
Tempest Kung Lao
Quan Chi
Hellfire/Inferno Scorpion
Shinnok
Grandmaster/Cyromancer Sub Zero
Sonya Blade
D'Vorah
Heavy Weapons Jax
Outlaw Erron Black

Updated list.

 

[Ra Helios]

You should teach fred grandmaster subzero. The number #1 auto pilot character in the game and the number 1 easiest character to pick up for casual players.

 

[Saint Op Omen]

Fred would go to his first tournament and then refuse to play anything but Smash...

 

[Ra Helios]

Do this for injustice.

 

[Ra Helios]

Quan chi is a easiest character. He is too 5 easiest characters to pick up and win with. Rm Empyrean pick the character up 3 weeks ago. His first week he was playing like a high level quan chi player. Almost unblockable vortex for days.


Im in arguing mood. So lets get it

 

[Ra Helios]

@Peckapowa you talk a lot about how quan is a seemingly easy character to use and should be winning everything using unblockables and such. Why don't we mirror this Sunday on @Pig Of The Hut stream? Because I have moderate success using quan without the unblockables. So if you use them surely you can beat me quite easily. I'd like to prove that solid fundamentals spacing and game knowledge trump gimmicks

Level up

Level up

I'm not sure you understood the conversation were having.

 

[Ra Helios]

I'm not sure you understood the conversation were having.

Please explain. Didn't you said you have a average success with quan chi?

 

[roosTakk]

I think i would be the chimp


Im free as fuck in MKX

 

[Tony at Home]

A jump kick to the face in this game is + on block.

I mean, I love this game, and there's definitely skill involved to be good and win tournaments.... But figuring out the most braindead strategy is an excercise in splitting hairs.

 

[Amplified$hotz]

Lolol Doomsday players.

Moderate Success

 

[IMakeItL00kC00L]

He said this @Peckapowa I don't see the word footsies there, just sayin

Fundamentals and spacing go hand-in-hand with footsies

Quan Chi is a noob destroyer. You can pick him up and hard-to-blockable against noobs for days online, but when it comes to real competition thats when Quan is forced to play footsies and work (most of the time) for his wins.

Its the player. Once you get quan chi started its hard to stop him. He always will have meter, and his 50/50 is very strong, and its safe. Like I said quan will always have meter. Yes the only flaw about him is the wake up suck, but if you try to make no mistake he is amazing.

He is a very, very good character with a very, very defined weakness. It's all good.

Isn't the synonym
for moderate mean Average!!?

 

[Tony at Home]

On an actual serious note, it's part of how I learn any character to figure out what their Fred strategy first. That is, knowing as little as I possibly can, how can I be the most with this character?

For Kotal Kahn it was
1. D1, command grab /F1b2 mixup
2. Approach by run into jump (run prevents spacing to tripguard) because j1 is stupid good
3. Profit.

For CO Sonya it was
1. End combo with EX arc kick, put them in the corner
2. b14/b33 ~ Military Stance
3. Profit.

In a way, it kinda let's you "distill" a character down into their basics, and you build from there. I've found starting to learn a character by going after anything but a Fred Strategy turns out to my detriment.

And when you think of it, what's the first thing we teach our friends who are trying to get into Mortal Kombat X if they've never played a fighting game? You teach them a Fred Strategy. You want them to instantly start having fun, even if they aren't necessarily playing super good. You just want to show them the satisfaction of getting alot of mileage out of figuring out how to do dumb-but-effective stuff.

Big difference

 

[TheIrishFGCguy]

We're playing MKX. Fred can pick up 95% of the cast with ease and still have success because this game requires almost no execution, teaches you that mindlessly jumping is okay, and allows you to mash buttons on negative frames rendering counter-poking almost non-existent.

Spoiler

*Whispering voice* But don't tell Fred I told you this, because a lot of people here are in denial that the series we love has become frustratingly casual
