Kitana's got Jade's staff.
I'm okay with this.

Is the PC release of Last Round even based on the Gen 8 version? Did Tecmo Koei ever clarify that?

As much as I see why 3 stock would be great, at this point, 2 definitely seems to not only be working well, but keep an apparently good average match time.
Still holding out hope that Nintendo will assign some team to occasional balance patches in the future, as unlikely as that is

I think they inferred in a panel at Apex that some balance changes are coming down the line.

That's great news.
Now make it intuitive to change custom moves easy at a tournament and we're set
Should be even more hitstun on ch pile bunker, fuck every other change.
Should be so much hit stun that they tumble into the wall and then bounce off the wall and tumble back to the other wall.

Heeeey the NDA for MKX is over!
That means I can finally answer some questions about the game some of you asked me!
I think so. It's actually very close to MK9 both in mechanics and feeling. I think the whole package will be great.
Except for the stamina bar who's very strange, it's the same. The feeling I got was that the game was less projectile battle oriented. Since backdash cost you half your stamina gauge you can't run away too much. We'll see when the game is out but I think they narrowed the game a bit, not in the stage but in the movement capacity and by giving less power to fireballs.
I played her for you. She is clearly the less original character from the new ones. She feels very light and fast but I don't know, I didn't really enjoy playing her even if she's not a bad or unfun character. :/
See above but in general it looks much more like MK9.
Stamina is consumed by backdashing and running but not the same way. Backdash take the stamina instantly so if you are touched, you don't keep an amount of stamina that matches the ground you traveled. Run is the opposite : you can continue to run in the face of your opponent if you have stamina.
Projectiles seems maybe less important but that's just a feeling. I played Kitana and I could not as easily make the projectile war as in MK9 but maybe I'm doing it wrong.
I think some characters have a special animation? By the way a thing I noticed is that old characters now have their own animations for standard normal like sweep or down kick. Sadly, new characters took the old animations instead of having their own.
I think it's DOA/SF4 like but I actually don't remember. The loadings in the game are SUPER FAST.
Not much. The walls are great to escape but you can be read and punished easily. The attacks does not feel unbalanced and some are very, very specific to some things happening into the sage.
Other things :
FERRA&TORR are SO MUCH FUN IT'S RIDICULOUS. First you can SEND A LITTLE GIRL to the face of someone. Then they have some very, very good command moves that goes fast and far away. I tried all variations and the classic one was the funniest for me, I could not play very well the one where Ferra is not on Torr.
Kotal and D'vorah are more visually appealing than in gameplay in my opinion. D'vorah as great moves and it feels great but that's it. Kotal feels powerful but classic.
Kitana has a Jade variation. And one of her other variation looks a bit like Mileena: she has a counter move and two special throws.
Kung Lao is super fun but I can't play him right so I might not give you a lot of feedback. He has a classic mode with classic hats attack and another one where the hat is a trap like you saw in the trailer.
Feel free to ask questions if you want and I'll try to answer them.

Please test if some moves consume the Stamina meter or not. Is the Running the only thing that consumes Stamina?
Check if projectiles can interact or if they still go through each other like in MK9.
What does the animation for the combo breaker look like, has it changed?
If you press Retry in a VS battle, does the game reload the entire match like in Tekken/GG or is the retry instant like in DOA/SF4?
Thanks in advance

Same. 3 feels too much at this point.
While I really like the idea of customs, I don't think it'll work out. Too many problems it brings.

Also, seven characters appeared in Melee top 8 at Apex. Pretty good.
The attention to detail and overall aesthetic in this video is fucking whoa.
Also the "adapt", banning vowels and smirk made this video. :lol

I had to close the video because I'm over here at work dying.
I can't believe that they really asked this, which means that the first thing that people are going to do are the worst things possible.
To be fair it was going to be that way anyway

Maybe in a little bit, I've got meds to take. I've had a cough now for a little over a month, and it's only recently starting to go away.

I feel ya...I got Bronchitus currently. Steroids, zpac, codene cough stuff and an inhalor all are go right now and I still feel like shit.
On the plus side though, MKX is picking up traffic on TYM so I'm getting tons of opportunity to go all Bishoptl on the ass end of the FGC too! Not certain if I'm being sarcastic or not on that honestly...dealing with shit posters getting out of line over a game thats not out is annoying. Its also extremely satisfying to at least have the power to shut them down and reign them in though.
Yay, new game release periods are entertaining for me these days

Makes me wish we had the option to turn on Heroes and Heralds mode locally in Marvel. Could you imagine how many batshit matches we could have seen folks do on after hours or casuals? Only mode I ever saw that let you make irrelevant cast into something incredible...or busted stuff more busted, but that part is a bit more common lol.
God Ironfist with an airdash was a completely different story out there...hell some of the ways you could tweak Chun Li's character to get her more damage was great too. Miss that mode...so much lost potential. Needs to be in more games.

So apparently we've been having power outages here because of the rain. I thought it was just Comcast being jerks. *shrug*

Its Comcast...is there much difference? I lost speed tests to Puerto Rico when I had them for "high speed".
