I'm a sucker, a little fucker.
So I was looking into learning Kung Lao and checked out the TYM forums and it looks like with the Tempest variation, Kung Lao can link after hat spin (DB1) now? I thought MK wasn't supposed to have links?

You can do B23 xx DB1, 44, into whatever and get about upwards of 40%+ damage meterless. I can't get the DB1 to 44 consistent though. I'm not really sure how this combo works since MK isn't supposed to have links, I don't think. 44 also has 27 frame startup, so I think it's just something with this move.

I dunno, it seems like a bug to me so I'm hesitant to put too much time in the lab working out the timing on it. NRS normalized the other high-damage characters so I doubt NRS buffed this move on purpose. Anyone have more info on this? TYM forums are a clusterfuck to read to be honest.

It's entirely possible for MKX to have links. What MKX lacks are links from normals into other normals without a juggle state or some kind of special cancel. (i.e. D'vorah wasp grenade run cancel combos.)

Edit: yeah that's a hella tight link. My money would be on unintended, but it seems to be corner only so I'd let it rock.

MK doesn't have links except when it does. There's obvious exceptions like Scorpion's spear but there's a lot of really arbitrary things that you're just allowed to link after. No idea if that spin link is intended or not but I wouldn't take it for granted that it's not.

You can actually do it mid-screen, so I'm assuming NRS will remove it considering what they did to Raiden. You never know, though.

Yeah, I was mostly used to MK combos being: starter -> cancel into special move that launches -> juggle -> ender. Or starter -> cancel into move that causes a "capture state" -> juggle -> ender. So this one's kinda new.

Shad Bros finally won a faction battle. :)

Since I've never been on a winning team before, is there a way to do your own faction's Test Your Might without leaving your faction? The War Tower just had me beating up Ermac over and over in the easiest fight ever instead of doing anything else.

I've played with a couple of goons now, had a KotH that ran well for a couple people. That was more than I could say with Injustice or MK9. Yeah, every now and then the online get's lovely as gently caress, but on the whole I've had a pretty decent experience online.

We're a total of what, one maybe two patches behind on those things?

But in honestly, you're right. I don't notice some of these lackings because I don't care so much. I don't go to Fighting Game Tournaments, and as such don't care as much about Frame Data and most balance changes. If my skins and extra content is late it doesn't bother me as much.

To me its a big deal because I do, also my first National is on Friday and I really wanted to be ready for it as getting to local places isn't convenient or cheap for me.

Well that kinda sucks. I was hoping the Kombat Pass was a season pass for everything. :( Although the Kombat Pass says we're supposed to get a skin pack with each character release, so I guess we're getting even more skins with Tanya. Probably the MK1 ones?


I just played a Raiden earlier today who absolutely wrecked my poo poo. He was so aggressive, I did not know what to do. He just kept hitting his 1,1,2,2 combo over and over and I never saw an opening. When I got some distance, he came right back in with the superman and resumed the pressure.

Combo seemed so safe and I could never find an opening to respond after blocking. It just felt so fast. What's faster than this?

Is it weird that I honestly don't give a poo poo about the patch or DLC delay? I only play challenge towers and local MP, so the netcode and balance issues don't bother me, and I'm not getting any of the non-Goro DLC until the Summer Sale at the earliest anyways. I cared a lot more about the game being drat near unplayable due to performance fuckery, which is pretty much fixed now.

Except that the performance is still poo poo, it's still leaking memory, the game starts zoomed in if you use a lower than native resolution and you have to kill the game, start back up, then change the resolution again and quiting the game still leaves the process running in the background.

It is when you're using contractors, and you're paying for each package of work to integrate, rather than how much of it there is. It might be worth directing a bit of the annoyance at NetherRealm and/or Warner Bros., because it's quite possible they're the source of some of these antics.
