Yeah and they're also as bad as some of the characters from the MK trilogy era haha. Ferra/Torr contributes about as much to the story as Scorpion did in MK1 or Mileena did in MK2.

A time when using all three bars of meter is worth it.

I did it a zillion times last night. Just wait until they have a small bit of health left, then feeeze them. Uppercut, done. I did it by accident the first time.
Do all Sub-Zero variants have the ice sword for the uppercut? If not, that may be your issue.
I don't disagree as a whole, but Scorpion had a purpose in that he wanted to kill Sub-Zero to avenge his clan. Ferra/Torr fight because? They joined Kotal Kahn because? Their goal is what exactly? Their arcade ending
basically reveals what they are as a species, which is neat, but just makes them look like a generic Tarkatan or something.
Only Cryomancer has the sword uppercut but it works in all the variants IIRC.

Honestly everyone should come back..
Kombat kids need work especially Jacqui she would be alot more interesting if she didnt look like a regular soilder her outfits suck ass seriously.
Kung Jin is boring only good thing about him is his bow staff but he has room to grow and he can help Kung Lao with his dilemma.
Takeda has the same problem as Jacqui he needs to get rid of that power suit shit
Liu and Kitana should stay dead because they are more interesting as rulers of hell.
Kung Lao's tower ending should be canon
And everyone else should stop being jobbers
D'vorah is pretty much set.

Doesn't seem to matter for me, they are under the last notch on the health bar, second round I'm winning and it still wants me to do a fatality once they get up. wtf.

So I don't know if it's just my copy of the iOS game but there's an exploit to get unlimited resupply of koins without having to fight...
Don't know if it's only my copy though but seems like it'd be an easy exploit.
That said I leveled to 40 and beat every level without spending a cent, but the bosses make the game total bullshit due to requirements/restrictions placed on your team, basically making it almost necessary to spend money.

Along with

The console reward claim thing? It takes forever lol
Was hoping one of the 10-15k koins ones would get hit by it when I got them. No such luck.
I wouldn't say you need to spend money, but the game would take forever if you just saved up souls from dailies.

Just beat the story. Seemed a lot shorter than 9's but over all, a great job of introducing new characters and integrating old ones. The stinger at the end will lead to interesting sequel possibilities.
Does experience do anything? Like does being at level 23 mean anything?

Scorpion/Raiden
i honestly think that some of these ending are gonna be canon
i can totally see Dark Raiden making Scorpion and the Shirai Ryu earthrealms new champions/warriors

Erron->Jax->Sonya
Scorpion->Raiden->Kotal
Johnny->Ermac->Cassie (sorta)
Takeda->Kenshi
Those are the connected ones I remember. The others are either obviously not canon or just their own thing.

Yeah it takes a while doing that but gold characters are worthless after the exploit. Just buy multiples of one silver card seven times, max out their three bonuses to stats, and then max out their first super move slot.
Takes time but once you get that done you can steamroll most of the game save for a couple of bosses
Ok, so in this combo

I had a big issue (well I had one but it was my muscle memory doing hadouken instead of nut kracker) -- the game kept eating the forward+1 input and giving me forward+2 (the one where she sticks out the baton), and I checked my inputs and the 1 input was always there. I have negative turned off so I'm guessing it's a timing issue?

Hmm, that's pretty fair. I wonder if that might be an unfortunate side-effect of the companion comic existing? It seems like they've sort of relied on it as a crutch to fill in what happened between MK9 and MKX. I don't read the comic, but perhaps it's expanded upon there?

lol I gotta stop using brutality's online. That shit scares people off quick!

nope lol
only characters that are really getting shine in the comics are Takeda, Scorpion, Raiden, Johnny and Sonya, Kotal Khan, and Jacqui and Cassie
everyone else is either cameo or a side character.
It does? I haven't noticed and I use D'Vorah's first brutality whenever I get the chance.

If anyone is wondering how sub zero went from cyborg to human. Read the comics.

Any summary of this? I thought I understood without reading but now I'm unsure.

People are reporting the online is much better on PC since the latest patch, I did one game and it was fine, I was able to hit 10+ combos as opposed to it being so laggy I couldn't do a 3 hit string. I'm looking forward to trying it properly tomorrow when I get back from the doctors.

The statue is very nice. And the steel case is something special. The steel case is even packaged separately so you don't have to open it to get to the game disc. It also comes with a standard copy to be more specific.

Every time the game says Takeda's name, I only hear "Taquito".
I think that's what I'm gonna call him from now on.

Me and my cousin already started this Day 1. xP
I've seen people saying it was included in the latest patch, but I do not see it in my list of costumes.

Yeah the issue came out yesterday.
its basically a surge of raidens power combined with quan chi's that brings sub zero back to life. They also show what sub looks like under the armour. It's prety gross.

This game is infuriating to play online. Spend hours in the lab practicing combos and set ups, only to go online and have none of it work because everyone just spams chains/projectiles/full screen armored flying kicks. It's fucking stupid. I'm extremely close to dropping the game, since online is the only way I have to play against other people, and its quickly losing its fun.

Well, then it should be easy to punish players who spam. This stuff happens in every fighting game, and I've yet see to see any character in MKX that "breaks" a match through spamming.

Yeah, if you block you'll be able to punish and start your own combos that you've been practicing so hard, and once you get a knockdown you'll be able to use those setups effectively. If they still don't work, you haven't been practicing good set ups. Try blocking and I think you'll find your game will improve. It's a little hard to keep up because the game is so fast-paced, but if you stay patient and hang in there all your combos will work.
Also, those of you using D'Vorah, which variation do you use?
Ok so I have a few things I need to get off my chest
1) I have been a sub main since OG MK. I absolutely hate the changes they made to him for this game. Maybe I just need more time with him, but hes just not what he used to be. It really saddens me. I feel like Scorpion didnt get as big of a rehaul as Sub did. (although I havent really tried Scorpion yet, but from what ive seen, he seems to be the same).
2) I know everyone keeps saying "oh those dlc characters in story mode dont have the full move set", but jesus christ NRS.. But why bother putting in Rain + all of this moves from MK9 if you arent even going to let us use him? Seriously, we needed 2 Jax's and 2 Johnny cages but no Rain? Same with Tanya, she may not have everything, but she seemed plenty complete to me when I faced her in the campaign.
Idk, just alot about this game is fucking awesome. But then theres an equal amount of head scratching decisions that I dont get.

Jacqui/Jax and Johnny/Cassie play literally nothing like each other. What did they change about Sub that you dislike?

The characters from story mode were cut and pasted from MK9. They don't have the three fighting styles, nor do they have character specific dialogue.
