The netcode seems to have improved

I remember some people's surprise when Mileena was revealed and she was wearing pants.

I wouldn't mind some sexier costumes all around, just as an option. Hell even for the guys if they can model the bodies right this time.

(flashback to MK9 Liu Kang / Johnny Cage *shudder*)

I don't think being almost naked equals sexiness. In fact, I think Mileena never looked as sexy as she does in MKX.

There are some more revealing unlockable costumes in the game, btw

 

[ZangBa]

Something looks off about Mileena, like her head is too big or something.

 

[SolVanderlyn]

I'm surprised how relevant Mileena is to the story in MKX, and how prevalent she was in promo materials. She always seemed like a side character to me, but in this game she's clearly a main character.

 

[Demoskinos]

Speaking of mileena....

Spoiler

The way she is killed in the story might be the grossest thing in this game.

 

[Slurmer]

She also have two really easy combos (if I can pull them off I assume they are easy). That variation with the extra sai moves seems like her best one to me.

yea the consensus is that piercing is her best one. If they tweak the frame data on a few of her specials ill probably use her exclusively.

I can't even get in right now. It just says "Chat server is not available".

It sucks that's not D'Vorah's second fatality.

I visibly cringed at this scene. In a game of gross stuff, this was probably the worst of it all.

I'd agree. I'd use her for that Khanum alt and her personality if I didn't think she was a weak character as far as gameplay goes.

 

[DanteGhost]

I'm done with this game until they fix the servers. i can't even play with friends without some of us leaving, and we have a pretty stable connection. So much bullshit.

 

[Deleted member 325805]

My game is working pretty good these days, but I'm crashing to desktop very often in King of the Hill mode on PC. Nvidia driver has crashed and recovered.

 

[Regurgitated]

Does Takeda not have an x-ray attack? I can't do it in the story mode...

 

[SolVanderlyn]

Does Takeda not have an x-ray attack? I can't do it in the story mode...

I think it's an air move.

 

[Skab]

have to be in the air

 

[i HeaR MusiC]

Netcode is a 9/10 atm for me...much improved. Feels like offline practice mode when playing against friends locally. I pray it stays this way.

PS4 btw.

 

[Vlaphor]

I'm playing on PC and none of the online stuff is working now. I haven't tried playing online, but the living towers and the faction stuff isn't working. Worked earlier.

 

[Dr. Buni]

I think everyone can agree she was pretty much the definition of a side character prior to MKX. I liked her importance in MKX, although

Spoiler

she was nothing but everyone's favorite puppet

It have been pretty bad for me since the patch, but honestly I don't think they are going to fix anything.

 

[Opto]

*tests combos in practice* Oh cool I found a juggle combo with this character

*goes online, thrashed by infinite combo* oh, I have learned nothing

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Final boss spoiler:

Spoiler

Shinnok's move where he shoves Cassie Cage's head in his underbelly looks like an open case of sexual harassment.

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

I just unlocked Cassie's beatdown brutality and my rate of executing brutalities has shot up from about 1 in 10 games when I really try to get one to every flipping match because all I need to do is execute a combo ender.

Overall I'm finding Cassie really fun (if a little simple) but I wish her up kick special was switched out with something more useful. She'd be lethal with a proper dive kick or something that would close the gap against projectile spammers.

 

[Codiox]

Jesus what's about all the disconnects lately? Never had a problem until today.

 

[Trickster]

You must have been lucky then, regardless of what version you are playing.

Ps4,is it worse on pc/Xbox?

 

[AAK]

I just realized I've been playing with input shortcuts on this whole time. When I turned it off the 1+2 input for interactables stopped working. That's what I'm used to using but do I have to use the shoulder buttons if I'm not using input shortcuts?

 

[Trickster]

Ps4,is it worse on pc/Xbox?

PS4 seems to be the best version from what I hear.

Dunno exactly how X1 is. But did see Justin wong struggle with some stuff on his stream yesterday

But pc is honestly unacceptable. I haven't been able to play online the last several hours because the reading stats thing just never stops loading. Then you have the game session thing that drops you at any point in a match. The game crashing to desktop because the game causes the graphic card driver to crash.

 

[Forceatowulf]

Quan Cheesy's Warlock brutality is sooooo doooope! =D

 

[sti4thewin]

I played Justin Wong on stream last night and got completely bodied

 

[mreddie]

I'm not a fan of MKX Sonya's voice. She sounds... bored.

 

[Freezasaurus]

I'm not a fan of MKX Sonya's voice. She sounds... bored.

She's mature.

 

[Dr. Buni]

Fits her boring personality.

 

[Deleted member 325805]

I can't get online at all, stuck on reading stats data.

 

[mreddie]

She's mature.

MK9: She sounded young. And now, she sounded uninterested.

Cassie overshadows her in personality.

 

[Freezasaurus]

Cassie overshadows her in personality.

Cassie overshadows the entire roster.

 

[BabyFaceKillah]

Cassie overshadows the entire roster.

No

 

[Arksy]

I love Jacqui Briggs and Cassie Cage.

Not a huge fan of Takeda and Kung Jin, they're a bit slow and sluggish for me.

 

[Dr. Buni]

Cassie overshadows the entire roster.

This one disagrees.

 

[Beelzebufo]

MK9: She sounded young. And now, she sounded uninterested.

Cassie overshadows her in personality.

I think that's the point
Cassie takes after her father, I think Sonya's supposed to be the stereotypical no-nonsense military character, but a woman instead of an old man.

 

[mreddie]

Cassie overshadows the entire roster.

Nope but she is the most memorable newcomer in this game.

 

[mreddie]

I guess which fits the story but you'd think she would sound more pissed off.

 

[Wreck-It Ralph]

*tests combos in practice* Oh cool I found a juggle combo with this character

*goes online, thrashed by infinite combo* oh, I have learned nothing

This happens to me in every single fighting game ever.

Though I did manage to become vaguely competent at Injustice for a little while. And by "vaguely competent," I mean I was still winning less than 50% of my matches, but I was actually winning some matches.

 

[Trickster]

I've had the same problem for hours. Went back to playing Dota <_<

 

[TheMrPliskin]

That's an odd way to spell D'vorah.

 

[Muscle Wizard]

So I played through the Klassic tower as Liu Kang and his intro with Kung Jin went like this:

Kung Jin: Why couldn't you accept me?

Liu Kang: I'm aware of your proclivities.

Does Liu Kang hate gay people?

 

[kodecraft]

MK9: She sounded young. And now, she sounded uninterested.

Cassie overshadows her in personality.

Cassie is young and hip, Sonya been through some things, that can change a person.

That would straight up ruin the character to me if true.

 

[Queen of Hunting]

i love the trolly comments from Cassie

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Really enjoying this online is tough for me because the lag throws off my combos.
