Mortal Kombat X |OT| This is NOT a Brutality. This is a FATALITY
- Thread starter hammertomb
- Start date
If you think about it, Brutalities are like MK1, 2, and 3 fatalities, and the way it is done looks and feels so much more satisfying than the actual MKX fatalities.
She has really good setups
Two things:
1. My gosh, Raiden definitely is awesome in this game. Probably the best version of Raiden in the entire MK series.
2. Damn! This soundtrack sounds SOLID, especially if you have a sick sound setup! Why are most of the play videos feature such low volume music? Don't people know that what makes MK is SOUND? Just like the arcades, the music should be BOOMING from the moment you start the game, and any use of the MK Movie music should be figuratively thrown out of the window.

She basically gets guaranteed damage with every bar. That Ex missile is nasty.

Yeah, lets pretend over the top fatalities weren't a thing in the original trilogy.
Absolutely. I've been thinking of making a thread about it, but I'm so far behind in school I can't devote time to it.
But yes. Max's stream last night had him raving about Brutalities and how it makes the player feel powerful. The fact that your attacks blend and transition into these finishers is what gives players the satisfaction and powerful feedback that they are performing these brutal attacks. I haven't even had a chance to play this game, but just watching combos that end in them and seeing Max's reaction and other players' reactions tells me all I need to know about them.
The added bonus is a lot of them are throwbacks to classic fatalities. Some look low-budget (simply heads popping off), but a lot look great.
I'm with what Max was saying last night in that every fighting game should be implementing these unique finishers based on qualifiers performed during a match, such as winning round 2 in a Perfect, or not blocking for a round. There is such a payoff and feeling of accomplishment (and shaming) for players.
Over the top sure, but they were pretty stupid. Who really wants to memorize a long ass sequence for that again? God knows I have enough to memorize in this.

I really can't decide which variation of Kenshi I want to devote the most time with.

This is what I thought when they revealed them, but then I played the actual game and I prefer these new brutalties over a lot fatalities. It's so satisfying landing one mid combo. UMK3 with their 7 legs, 3 arms, 72 ribs is just damn ridiculous in the worst kind of way.

could never
I really enjoy Kenjutsu myself.
What an incredibly confusion statement when the facts speaks for itself. Go back and see MK1, 2 and 3 again so you can understand. No wait, I'll help you. Watch up to MK3:

I do agree that the MKX brutalities are better than the fatalities.
Also, tone down the attitude, you aren't talking to one of your friends
I don't need to watch a video, I still have and play the games (mainly MK3). As I said, you can keep pretending over the top fatalities weren't a thing in the original trilogy.

Looks like UncleFestor (who I guess released something similar for Injustice) just put out an unlocker for the PC. Unlocks basically anything that can be unlocked on the PC version, including Goro and the DLC skins. That last bit seems a bit dicey, be warned. Hopefully something that just unlocks skins that weren't pre-order or DLC surfaces as I don't think I'll ever get the mutiplayer Skins.

They're sick that's for sure. I wish they were easier to pull off, ie do any special or throw for the last hit and awesomeness happens.
Can't wait to see a brutality compilation.

I think you guys are actually agreeing right now. lol

To cancel, you need to enter the commands for the next combo before the animation for the first combo is finished. For example, one of my go-to combos is 1-2-3 and another is <->-R2+1. But I can have one fluid combo by pressing 1-2-3-<->-R2+1 is rapid succession to where the other fighter doesn't have time to recover and has to use a combo breaker to get out of it. The tutorial in the menu is actually quite helpful.

I made a crappy gif of my Mileena combo. What's the best place/way to make gifs?

I think webm is a better choice. It can preserve audio. Here is a thread with some links for making webm content: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=797651&highlight=webm

Thanks much.
Shouldn't there be proper webms converters by now instead of having to do things through cmd?

Starting to become a fan of Kotal Khan. The only problem I have is with people who are good zoners.

Nah, PC.
They're actually gonna have Shawn Kittelsen, the writer of the comic, as a guest.
It's gonna be interesting for those of us who read it.

Seriously, no way they're going to mention it.

I think I found my guy, Quan Chi, Warlock specifically. Easy vortex 50/50 though I do need to practice it more. The F3 is just amazing, especially against zoners. He's also not a bad zoner himself.
I really need to practice running though. I believe if you catch them with EX dagger even at fullscreen you can run and begin the 50/50 into the vortex. So they aren't safe at fullscreen from it either.
But I'm not good enough for that yet.

Tongue slap. Tongue slap. Tongue slap. Tongue slap. Tongue slap!!
Answered, but yeah. If you need combos just ask. Got most of them memorized now.Starting to pick up combos with Raiden (and loving it) but some guides I've read list numbers instead of buttons or moves. Could someone be so kind as to let me know how these number references map out to buttons?
As an example, something like this:
5f: f1, EX df2, 213, b111+3
I'm like, WTF.
It's half the screen but it shoots both sides.
Agreed. So much zappity goodness.
Same here. You can wreck with it.

Summoner quan chi is the best variation. You can still catch people in a vortex after any trance you land. Plus having the bat adds an insane amount of pressure / zoning
Character whose moveset is designed to keep you away on screen.
Any good Raiden combos/advice would be welcomed. As per my post on the last page, I'm getting there slowly but the more to learn, the better!
