Mortal Kombat X |OT| This is NOT a Brutality. This is a FATALITY
- Thread starter hammertomb
- Start date
That's more a problem with kotal kahn than anything else sadly. Dude just dies to zoning. All Reptiles projectiles are in every variation so that doesn't really matter. Haven't messed around with Kotal much so I can't offer that much of help other than not to let him breathe, even though his mixups can be a problem.
3,4 is safe, but startup and reach is kind of poor. Try using f2,1 which is also safe and has an insane reach. If those hit you can then just do the throw extension (1+3 I think?), and if you have meter you can meter burn it for a bigger combo.
I prefer nimble the most, but noxious and deceptive aren't bad either. As for getting in it's really not hard, his walkspeed and just getting around is the fastest in the game. F2,1 helps as well in footsies, and once you're in you have his insane overhead (b2) as well as his main chain f412 chain (2nd hit an overhead) for more damage. His main low is b3 but to convert damage you'll have to burn meter for, b3 mb fast acid ball is what I tend to use.
I will say if you want to use him online it'll be really difficult, especially for nimble combo's. Would probably use noxious online just because of that.

I bought it and it looks pretty awful IMO, I'll never use it when I get the Klassic skin. It was only £1.50 though so whatever.

Oh I totally agree. Also spoke about this because the term "50/50" comes up a lot in MKX. Essentially, your goal in every fighting game is to force your opponent into a guess. A 50/50 guess is amazing odds for the offender, and MKX puts you into that situation very easily, while other games it can take quite some time to get to that point. It took time for Injustice to evolve into that situation, but now almost everyone can do it right off the bat.
The biggest issue facing MKX right now is the option select tech, which allows players to never commit to anything unsafe with select characters, and get the conversion safely due to an input oddity. I really hope this gets patched out eventually.

Was anyone else disappointed that no fatalities involved removing a body part and then beating the guy with it? I am surprised this wasn't explored.
The only reason I was reminded of this as I was watching a stream with Quan Chi and remembered the best fatality of all time.

How does Cassie fair against Reptile or just zoners in general? Looks like im gonna need to main two characters
Who has access to this OS tech?
All I know is that Kotal Kahn's fatalities are absolute garbage.
I think it's because player 2 is a guest account?
His first one is alright atleast. Erron got super fucked in that regard.
She has her own account as well. Is there no way for player 2 to have same unlocks as player 1 on same system? We shouldn't have to unlock everything twice?

Limb beating and stage fatality
I think there tech supports things. Which is why there are similar fatalities. Such as chest and mouth holes etc.
Yea, you can see the similarity between a lot of them which I totally understand. What I don't understand is the lack of stage fatalities etc. The game seems rushed in that regard, to remove such a staple of the series.

There's stage brutalities supposedly
Cassie can fight zoners pretty well, she can get around the screen really quickly. In spec ops she can fill it with shit too. Also can meter burn her glow kick to get around projectiles if you really want to use it. Absolute monster in the corner too.

This is the only one that has been found so far, I think.

Well, just completed maxing out the faction rank for Special Forces, after only joining two days ago. Last night I checked and I was rank 4 in the faction. Wut.
On to Brotherhood of Shadow!

Ya, I only use the first one because at least the whole squeezing your opponents heart out on his face is decent. But the second one is just straight garbage.
I have a feeling theyre gonna add fatality DLC to this game and take everyones money
It might be the case unfortunately...are you on xbone or ps4?

Am I the only one that has the classic skin? I read on IGN I think a couple of days ago that the classic skin was coming out. But I had already received it when I finished the test your might tower.

Wow. I've missed so much during this series.
Ps4. That's brutal if true.

Oh yeah. Erron Black's fatalities are horrible.

They had to compensate him having the best Xray somehow.
hmmm, so shes logged into her own account and its not working? Have you tried logging her into a guest account then to see if it works?

i mained reptile and im trying to learn some combos, sounds like you're pretty good with him, I just have no clue what f4, 1 2 xx etc. means.
Yeah. Doesn't show the fatality I have unlocked.
Tried logging her on player 2 as her psn profile and as a guest.
I can understand unlocks but why we should need to unlock everything twice on 1 system is beyond rediculous.
I might email netherealm to see if this is correct.
On top of that getting coins to actually unlock anything is a bitch. I'm even trying to do living towers right now and it won't connect...game is really unpleasant experience as a package. Too bad BC the core is so great when you are fighting.
40% corner with Cassie Cage
You can actually link a deep jump kick into air akimbo into the 21u4, but I couldn't get it down. It would be 45% though.

Maybe it's just me, but I can see limiting unlocks by account on one console. I can see each account owner wanting to experience the unlocks themselves on their own terms. If I were the developer I think that would be the least controversial of the two options. Otherwise you get people complaining that they didn't get the full experience because their brother/roommate/whatever unlocked it first.
Absolutely. But than let my guest have the unlocks? Not everyone plays online.
So me and girl. We play on one system beside each other on the couch. We played the story together. We play against each other. She's actually pretty good. But now the huge grind to unlock everything has to be done TWICE so that we can even enjoy the full game.
Let guest have p1 unlocks. That's all I ask.

You don't need to unlock the Fatalities to actually do them.
I main Cassie and I wish i could run in after a cartwheel more consistently. I really suck at running in this game.
Those weren't runs, actually -- moved forward a bit then did b12

You do need to run if you're not in the corner though. I need to get good with that myself.
I think the Six Shooter one is alright, but the Sand Storm one is crap.
Oh yeah, for sure -- just wanted to point out it wasn't the case in the vid.

The letters represent dpad inputs f=forward, b=back, etc. The numbers refer to the face buttons with 1 representing square on the PS4, 2 is triangle, 3 is X, 4 is circle. Or ABXY on Xbox.
UB U UF -2-
B--N--F 1-4
DB D DF -3-
Hopefully that makes sense. N means neutral.

Agreed!
I don't know why they even bothered with that one. So many more creative ideas they could've went with.

I still laugh every time I do Cassie's Selfie fatality. The comments get me every time.

I know I suck but I'm finding some of these special move *****s in the tutorial impossible to reliably perform. Are they terribly important?
On the bright side there is no Quan Chi Neck Stretch fatality. I do not know what the thought was behind that one, but I kind of wish I could have been in the meeting where it was discussed.
Yeah I meant more when I'm in the middle. Big hole in my game.

Very. You won't be able to play anyone half-decent if you don't at least get comfortable with executing special moves.

Is anyone else still struggling to find a character?
I don't know why no one is clicking for me. There are a few I find fun, Ermac, Takeda, Kotal, Kenshi, but they just aren't clicking. Kenshi is great, but I think he's going to end up being low tier unless they find some good tech for him. His options just feel so limited.
Takeda and Ermac are really good, but I hate their aesthetic.
I'm trying out other people though. Hope I find someone.

Did they announce a date for Jason even?
Kombat Kast is tomorrow, we will find out for sure then. But it will most likely be next Tuesday.
The leaked date when Predator was leaked was the 26th,Sunday. Also the same date the premier tower resets.
