It pisses me off to no end, the fact that Nightwolf, Fujin and Sindel were all present in the story mode but weren't actually playable.
Instead we got Jason Voorhees, Leatherface and Alien because everyone wanted those characters.

Black Adam, Aquaman, Deadshot, Superman, Atrocitus faired the best at the pro tourney over the weekend. But it's early, characters will change, etc. I'd pick someone who toolset you comfortable playing with against Deadshot and Aquaman...

This still hurts so bad. Especially after Boon heavily teased KP3 in numerous tweets.
Don't wanna derail the thread though, but still incredibly salty about it.

There are many characters i wanted and were missing in MKX but if MK 11 has not Fujin wtf.
They teased and trolled with him and many people were vocal about him and they still refused to put him in.
Just hope Raiden being evil finally puts the spotlight on Fujin.

Would have loved to see what they did with Pinhead.

I feel like Night Wolf needs a character revamp before he comes back - look at what Killer Instinct did recently with their Native American character (consulted Nez Percé to be more thoughtful and culturally sensitive) recently.
Fujin was the one character that really made me scratch my head. I'm guessing they held him back for MK11. Truthfully, I liked Bo Rai Cho's story portrayal, and was excited to see him come out, but when his fart/puke moves were part of his base move set and not just an optional funny loadout, I was let down. I feel like they could have really turned the corner on that character.
Anecdotally, when Alien, Jason, Leatherface and Predator came out, my non MKX friends wanted to come over and see them, so it makes sense to me that the guest characters are so prominently featured in NRS games. That said, this is another vote for "I hope they limit the number of guest characters to 1-2.
I have been really enjoying every DC character in this game, except Joker (that design just feels off to me - stuck between younger, emo look, overly designed gear and a harsher older voice) and to a lesser extent Poison Ivy (but if they release an animated series gear set or something a little less plastic Halloween costume looking, I'm in). Most of the names that are getting thrown around I'm not super familiar with, but would be excited to learn more about.

Harley Quinn covers two of his moves.
Agree with you fully on all points. Killer Instinct did a decent job with the new Thunder outfit, especially considering their budget consists of the money found in between Phil Spencer's couch cushions. NRS should definitely look into doing something like that.
I would take a Stryker premier skin for Harley.
Or even just his hat for a gear piece.

I would take Stryker over Beast Boy all day.
Not sure if they have events planned out this far in the future, but it would be cool if they did something like Black Lantern multiverse events that get you Black Lantern gear sets for everyone. Make it a Halloween thing or something.
I know there is a Beyond shader for Batman, but is there a gear set? I did get a head recently that might have been but I don't believe it was part of a set.
I rather hope they don't do too many non-DC characters for DLC. I'd be totally okay with Hellboy though as a one off outsider.

The amount of detail they put into the skins and items is really impressive.
They recolor many of the projectiles and abilities, there's a full helmet for batman that adds a robotic effect to his voice, and there is a ton of subtle differences between items that keep too many of them from being identical.

Pretty much. If Vixen is reduced to a shader for Cheetah, I don't see why Beast Boy couldn't be the same for Grodd.
Then wait for the next MK?

It'd be absurd for Beast Boy to look like a gorilla at all times without a single glimpse of his regular character model. Plus, Grodd's telekinetic character power and super wouldn't make any sense for Beast Boy's gorilla form. The Vixen premier skin may be a limited representation of Vixen, but every single Cheetah animation fits her. The same can't be said for Grodd and Beast Boy.
Nerfing d2's is dumb, if anything others need to be brought up. A lot of characters have really poor anti air capabilities. Not really gonna comment on the rest.

Ok I'm bad at fighting games and need help.
I'm trying to do this combo but the regular kick always comes out too late after the enemy has already hit the ground. What am I doing wrong?

Any time you jump heavy attack you have to input your followup the moment you hit the ground. If you do jump light/medium you can input your followup string before you land but heavy you can't.

Press X as soon as you land on the ground, you don't have to wait for the enemy to get close.

Literally the only guest I've ever really wanted in MK is Alien, and I lost my shit when he made it. I'm slightly more tolerant of guests in MK than Injustice because that actually makes some damn sense to me, even though however many there were on MKX was overkill no matter how you look at it.

Will there be Punch & Pie?
Especially since the DC fanbase can be quite rabid about which characters get in and which don't. A Mortal Kombat guest character getting in the game when *insert favourite character here* does not is going to cause a lot of backlash

As a Aquaman player, i would be ok with these changes except for the part about trident toss. You can get around it easily and its not like From The Deep where that move is oppressive as hell. That move needs to get looked at, maybe make it more negative or reduce its upper hitbox. The amount of reach that move has is ridiculous. I'd say just remove all the plus on block stuff, theres no reason he should have it.
What bothers me the most is how effortless it takes to play Aquaman. Big reason why there's so many pocket Aquaman players in tourneys. You'd think NRS would learn from Inj1 but i guess not. All the top legacy characters still stayed the same.
Oh well, im dropping Aquaman once Black Manta releases anyways. I hope they do him justice.

The only guest character I've ever wanted in a fighting game is Kazuma Kiryu from Yakuza in either Tekken or Virtua Fighter.

Game is fun. If you've played IJ1, you know what to expect. Zoning is pretty strong and a few characters are REALLY strong but I expect nerfs soon.
Online is FANTASTIC. Netcode is really smooth and mostly an awesome experience.
I've only encountered a rage quitter once in over 150 games. And RQing leads to an automatic loss if you're playing Ranked.
Online's really good. Only had one quitter so far. Netcode is fucking fantastic, even higher-ping connections feel good.

Won't know until you try.
Well you only have store brand Doctor Thunder and Mountain Mist soda at your party so I for one did not want to come anyway.
I've got your corner anytime
