Wow. Never really considered certain Special Moves giving access to unbreakable combos. That's a really interesting dynamic, because it gives a player a way to skirt potential combo breakers by the opponent by sacrificing bigger damage for something either completely unbreakable, or difficult to break (in a matter of degrees, depending on the combo).

This game is really good. That emphasis on dynamic decision making due to a single, shared meter makes this game much more competitively interesting than Marvel or SSF4, for me.

Too bad I don't like the gameplay as much as those games but that's probably more due to me not really putting any time into the game yet.

Michaelangelo is so clutch. His corner game is great too, whether he's pinned there or hes caged someone there.

3 out of 5
I hate 3 out of 5.

Ermac is so boring to watch.

 

[Arde5643]

Disadvantegous match-up for Kabal against Ermac, but Michaelangelo made the best of it.

Awesome Kabal play.

 

[NEO0MJ]

Ermac is so boring to watch.

I found it intense, maybe because of how much I wanted Floe to win, though frankly I was rooting for both of them.

Yeah, Kitana is good at that. Half the hits in her juggles are fan tosses anyway. She can actually deal decent damage completely unbreakable if you do like fan lift, air fan, ground fan, ex fans.

Not as boring as Raiden.

Lol @ 50% broken as fuck Kung Lao combo in the corner.

Right round round round
You spin me right round, baby
Right round like a record, baby
Right round round round

 

[sleepykyo]

More, more Kung Lao, hat spins are the seasoning on my sandwich.

 

[enzo_gt]

Spin match is lame.

 

[Arde5643]

I don't think I want to see "high-level" MK9 anymore since it seems it's all about "high-level" spins.

 

[VisionaryQuest0]

We ridin Spinnas, they dont stop.

 

[~Devil Trigger~]

Spin Fighter 4?

 

[Bleepey]

So much spinnning!

Wheel of Fortune Kombat 9

These Kung Lao's could give 07 Sony a rune for their money.

I don't think I want to see "high-level" MK9 anymore since it seems it's all about "high-level" spins.

I don't think I want to see "high-level" SF4 anymore since it seems it's all about "high-level" fireballs.

Better than turtle matches.

All fighting games have strong characters and strategies.

And most serious players will use them.

This is kinda the biggest flaw with the genre, it gets stale.

No game can be so well balanced that it won't become dominated with certain stuff. Which gets boring.

 

[shadyspace]

Why are they doing this?

 

[VisionaryQuest0]

WTF is happening?

 

[Arde5643]

I don't think I want to see "high-level" SF4 anymore since it seems it's all about "high-level" fireballs.

Are you insane? You don't remember Rufus, Boxer, Gief, Viper, Bison, or Fei Long?

If you're talking about AE then it should be "high-level" dive-kicks.

 

[NEO0MJ]

Someone needs to shop the character select screen and replace all the characters with Ken lao.

 

[enzo_gt]

This shit is hilarious, RPS.

 

[Kikujiro]

RPS was fucking hype.

Way to legitimize a NATIONAL MK Tournament guys.

 

[blackflag]

He gambled on Scissors!!!!!!!!!

Sick match up next.

 

[Cloudius12]

straight up mind games

Way to legitimize a NATIONAL MK Tournament guys.

Agree, should have done a game of MK.

 

[infinityBCRT]

I think that was for the 7th and 8th place purse... funny shit. But honestly they should've done some real matches for that though.

You expect some counterpicks though - otherwise the game becomes only very few S tier characters with the same gameplay tactic since that's the best tactic.

They already said there going to nerf kung laos damage potential, I wonder if they will nerf his spin, or at least make it more punishable. At 6 frames with a huge hit box, its really silly.

I wish it had more recovery, for a move that can cause so much damage potential it can be hard to punish with some characters.

GO TROPHY CLUB.

I wonder if they are going to fix the unblockable from cyrax when evo rolls out.

 

[Grzi]

I hate Skisonic's commentary.

 

[Kimosabae]

That match was GODLY

 

[enzo_gt]

Justin Wong making mortals look free here.

Why don't people teleport out of bomb trap more often?

EDIT: Oops, double post, my bad.

 

[sleepykyo]

He is okay with Adam. It's kind of like Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones' characters in the first MIB.

 

[Wallach]

EDIT: Oops, double post, my bad.

You can't. The throw puts you in stagger state, so if you don't block out of the stagger you'll eat the two hits and get hit with the bomb anyway.
