Which trophy? I got the one for either doing 1000 damage or 1000 hits earlier by spamming this fight. Its cumulative over time so just keep doing it. Is that the one you mean?
Oh and.... GO TEAM WHITE LOTUS!
Woo!

I honestly don't know how I got that one now. Maybe it was part of the invasion tower? During an invasion, don't you get challenged via "Assassin battle" or something? I think winning that may do it.
And Goro died in my video because that's the invasion boss. You can't actually win since his health is going down from the cumulative damage across all invasion boss battles. Dude probably has like 1 trillion HP.
The best you can do is survive the 30 seconds and do as much damage as you can. Goro just happens to be very good at that once you knock off his 5 layers of armor.

Not for me. I'll have to try it more next time.
Any good secondaries for a Jax main? My worst matchups are Grandmaster Sub, D'Vorah, Kung Jin, and Raiden.

Oh we won, cool... I didn't help at all, sorry.

I'm biased towards Raiden because he's my main, but I'd pick anyone who has armor on their EX attacks (Raiden has 3 at least, 2 of which can start combos).
I say this because armored wakeups can turn the tide in a split second, getting you out of a corner or a vortex.
Raiden is so disappointed in you.
I almost feel bad for Special Forces...not really. Go Lin Kuei!
I'm sticking with my Special forces homeboys. I'm all canon in this shit haha (Cassie is my main).
I don't think so either; that 5f D1 does a surprising amount of work in this game. Don't think she's actually "good" or anything but not booty sweat tier. Shinnok on the other hand, I don't really see what he has goin' for him.

The feels when you play a mirror and there's nothing but respect. Met another Quan Chi in a KOTH and each time we let the intros fully play (Quan is really nice to himself).

Fuck Lin Kuei and White Lotus. Black Dragon is where its at
I think my favorite mirror match quip is Reptile's when one of them lies about being Shang Tsung. Cracked me up.

LMFAO i got money for white lotus winning even though I'm on lin kuei xD, IMO Liu Kang's X-RAY is the most satisfying

There's some strange input handling in this game. If I do for example, a 2 punch chain cancelled into a kick special, I'll get the punch special of the same motion. 3 punch moves with 2 punch inputs.

Liu Kang is a very satisfying character overall. His design is incredible in this game, too.
Lin Kuei a shit

Yep the animations to his moves are really nice

When do the Kold War costumes come out?

I'm having trouble beating Scorpion on hard difficulty. Just solo matches.
I'm playing Sub Zero. Basically, the AI seems to punish me with 100% efficiency any time I try to get a combo on him, often into outrageous combos involving multiple teleports. I can get a few combos on him but 90% of the time he blocks everything. And when I try to block him, he has no trouble getting around my defenses. The most egregious offender here is his stupid fucking dive kick-trip move which he can seemingly perform with no warning. Good luck trying to get an ice slide on him, tho!
Do I really need to memorize some fucking 90% healthbar super combo chain or something to beat him?
Edit: And got him on attempt #5464357568467783465432342352345234523, probably due to the game taking pity on me finally.

Yeah the amount of input reading the ai does on higher difficulty is irritating. You should have tried the invasion boss scorpion earlier today. That was the worst

Would you say the AI on harder difficulties in MKX are as bad as the nonsense input reading AI like in UMK3 or perhaps Super Turbo or is it actually somewhat more fair, such playing against a very skilled opponent who simply is just outmaneuvering you at most opportunities.
I generally don't take much stock in fighting game AI, but if it's a decent way to learn how to defend against certain situations like some combo setups. Then I might just turn the AI on in Practice Mode when I'm doing defense training.
I would prefer to be able to record the AI doing a specific series of attacks and then play them back to defend against it, but the "record" function does something entirely else.

God damn Commando Kano is so much fun to play.
But I can't for the life of me do the down-forwards-backwards circle or down-backwards forward circle inputs for his command grabs. Which is annoying because they do a great amount of damage and are required for some of his brutalities.
I either end up sweeping or, for some reason, jumping. The Dualshock 4 is a better controller than the DS3 was but it's still a pain in the ass. I had a play around with the negative edge option or whatever it's called and that seemed to have helped but only a bit.

Hmm, I think I might have to try him out. I hate him as a character, but he always looks so much fun to play as lol. Thank you!

I think I've forgotten which faction I joined.
Man online is so annoying. Playing ranked it sits on the opponent found screen for minutes, then if it ever does proceed it usually bugs out and ends the session while picking a character.
The 5 ranked games I have gotten into were average at best with lag so at least playable.
No micro transactions to improve the online?

I caved and bought the Kombat Pack, got it for £9.50 so not too bad. They have until May 5th to get the PC version working properly.

Turned the practice AI to very hard just to see what you're all talking about...can't land a single hit that isn't blocked or brutally punished, lol. I'll stick with easy for now.

I picked up the game yesterday for the ps4 and it wasn't as easy to get into like killer instinct. I went online and got my first win right off the bat. I think I'm going to invest a lot of time in practice mode. I'm using Erron Black atm.

Hard/Very Hard AI is bullshit even for experienced players.
If I can get enough time off work to go to EVO this year I want to try and get people to money match the AI on Very Hard.
