one thing that absolutely bothers me about this game is that all of the fancy shit is activated by holding block

so if youre in the middle of getting hit by someones combo and you press block(so that its blocking asap), youll get a combo breaker if you have 3 super bars, which fucks up your x ray

eh, not quite. You don't get a breaker unless you hold block and forward and you have to have 2 bars, not 3.

Yeah, block and forward is the combo breaker. Regular block is just block.

I wish there was more individuality among the characters. For instance, Sub-Zero needs more combos because he only has one damage-dealing special.

sub zero is more focused on getting the iceball and then hitting someone with a combo

use the ground ice thing to make people jump, then uppercut

the characters are pretty individualistic, the problem is that their movesets arent as well thought out as they are in other games.

There aren't many combos in the game, for any character. That isn't really a problem if you factor in special moves, but in Sub-Zero's case, almost all of his specials are just good for setting up combos. I hope that they make the movesets more unique in the sequel.

Also, I can understand that, despite how much he sucks, it's important to have Quan Chi in the reboot considering how much he gave to the story. So what the fuck is Kintaro doing in the game?

Quan Chi is easily in the top 3 best characters of MK lore.

Sub Zero is a zoning character, if you dont know anything about controlling space and forcing people to make bad jumps then you arent going to play him well.

I just beat story mode. Shao Kahn is a fucking piece of shit. I beat him on my second try (I got him to EXACTLY 0% health) but he still managed to beat me.

I figured out a pretty simple way to beat him though. Turtle like a mother fucker until he throws a projectile, teleport, e honda headbutt thing.
When he throws his hammer, you have to delay on the headbutt because youll catch up to it and get hit with it.

Once they introduced Cyber Sub-Zero I became interested in the story mode. I really liked the ending. As someone who has a pretty good understanding of the mk story its good to see that

agreed about the storyline being good at the end.

Also if we're giving out thoughts on the characters themselves, my picks for the most accessible characters as far as dealing easy damage are:

Kitana
Kabal
Kung Lao
Scorpion
Smoke

Those characters are really easy to win with based on how easy their specials and combos are, how fast they are and how much damage they dish out.

Kabal's high/forward punch on its own destroys the AI on lower settings. I think Jax is pretty accessible, too (also I love that he has actual robot arms now).

I never realized how massive the stages are in this game until just now. I just played some guy that ran away the entire time and he was so far away he could theoretically kill me with fireballs by the time i was able to walk over to him.

thats definitely a negative in terms of tournament play. I really hope people dont turtle a lot. SF4 was bad enough with this, with its massive stages, but this is way way worse.

stages should only be a little bigger than the original screen its self

yeah. I gotcha. You wanna play who you wanna play without worry about someone playing keep away and stagnating the match. To counterpoint that though, most of the characters I would consider newb friendly (which is why I like them. I an still in fighting game basics mode) that I listed above have teleport moves. Scorpion and Smoke especially since their teleport moves have an attack attached to it rather than just getting close to the other guy.

I dunno. Your style might be completely different than mine. Just from my point of view though.

If I had picked fighters instead of shmups as my chosen genre to dig into and get good at, it might be a different ballgame. As it stands, I'm way better at herding bullets than I am at dodging fireballs.

Story mode was fun, but inconsequential. Aside from Smoke and Sub-Zero, they didn't change anything, save for the death count and making Nightwolf even more awesome. It would have been nice if they focused on the villains, too, and if it wasn't just a setup for the next game. There's also some stuff that they should have eliminated (Kintaro, fucking Soulnados). Definitely interested in seeing the next game and who they bring back (come on, Kenshi), and if they try to create new ones.

So now that I have to play against real dudes, who should I play as to try not to get totally destroyed?

Those are minute details, though. Kabal's character got changed entirely, but it didn't affect the arc of the story at all. I dig Jax having actual robo arms and Kitana's story being an opportunity for multiple characters to unironically say "flesh pits," but nothing big got changed, save for the ending.

I want the character that requires the least amount of skill while still being seen as a legitimate character.
