Im a reasonably good SF player with the stick and haven't played MK series since PS2 days.
I struggled big time with some of the pad buttons + R2 as the R2 button on my Hori Pro is on the bottom line.
I also think it feels less fluid than SF4 and later SF4 games. You need to rely more on combos than special moves in this game.
I have only played the story mode, and beat that by doing a lot of chips and jump attacks with barely any special moves.
What's your take on this game competitively, compared to 9 and Injustice?

Jacqui isn't that fun. Shame, because I like her design.
She is one of mine for sure, but not quite the favorite yet.

Finally figured out how to do the (not sure if this is the correct term for this) downward aerial smash after the launcher. The amount of frames you're given to pull it off is pretty minuscule. But, then again, I'm not very good at fighting games.

It's a lot different than MK9. In some ways it plays closer to Injustice, but with significantly faster movement. It's a unique game because you can run and walk so fast to get in but the range of the normals for most characters is so long the footsies game is played from farther back than you'd think. It totally works out and is super fun.
Got it, i'll give it a shot.

Enjoying the story but salty about these characters that aren't on the roster but are in story mode.
Gives them a reason to provide additional DLC, I suppose.

So many Scorpions online.
Have only really played around with Takeda and Sub-Zero.
Haven't quite clicked yet. Should I use story to find a toon, or just keep taking them into the lab?
That's normal. Oddly, I haven't met any yet.

Really? I've only run into a couple. I've seen many more Goro and Ermac players so far.
You need to play through story mode to unlock Shinnok, so why not do that first? Who knows, you might end up liking him the most.
Don't worry it will all be Predator when he is out

Anyone know some good Sub-Zero combos? I have one or two, but they don't scale that high.
Cryromancer
f+1,2,2,1,1,ice ball (ex),2,4,2
2,4,2 can be anything at this point in time. I wanted to end it on an ex slide, but it's good by itself with 2,4,2. I was ending that with another f+1,2,2
I can't seem to think outside the box. I'm thinking there's another way to set up another juggle.

Anyone who got the Coarse Scorpion Statue edition
Did the actual game come in a standard retail case (with a barcode, no "not for retail" marking)? Mine won't come for a few days, so I wanna know if i'm able to go and grab a retail copy that I can return with my SE copy

Interesting, I haven't seen a single Goro and maybe one Ermac besides myself. It's been Scorpion after Scorpion after Takeda after Scorpion.

He seems to rely on meter a lot. His projectile is pretty powerful, but the start up is really slow. He also has a nice launcher and a dash that's easy to get to (f+1,2)
Kotal is interesting but I'm not sure what to do with him.
I did see that the one variant with the totems has some hilarious potential. Use the dagger move for a damage buff, bring out a damage totem and you can do a ~40%+ combo literally just doing jump in -> uppercut.

Yeah Takeda is the Ken to Scorpion's Ryu. Those whips man.

I've been playing as him quite a bit, and he's much faster up-close. His uppercuts can lead to some good combos, as well as his moves that cover ground quick (should slam, backhand, etc.).
The variations I'm still working on, but it's roughly:
War god: Mid and a bit of long range.
Blood god: can be varied up for strategic placement, but many will keep them close for immediate buffs.
Sun god: short range.
Is it a corner combo? don't see how you follow up it after the 2nd jump.

No. Just do it lol. I don't know what to tell you. You probably underestimate how fast she recovers from a jump 2.

He is great. D'Vorah > Erron Black > Others, so far to me.

Any word of a PS4/MKX bundle?
Even with my impossibly underpowered PC I'm loving this game :] It makes the wait for my new PC even harder, though! This feels like such a big upgrade over MK9. Gameplay just feels way better, let alone the atmosphere and style. Honestly MK9 always felt ugly and cheesy, and not in a good way.

That difficulty spike in the
fight is some Shao Khan level bullshit, it's taken me four tries just to beat
in one round.

The door in the Kavern of doom area in the krypt is impossible to lift.... Is this a fucking joke?
Someone please tell me I'm missing something here. No way they really want us to tap buttons at that speed and ferocity. No. Fucking. Way.

I just don't see how it's possible to do 2 jump 2s into a f+4. There's not an air fan in there?

For me the spike came when I started the Jacqui Briggs chapter. Before then it was a breeze for me.
But holy shit in that chapter each fight in that chapter took me 2-3 tries.
If you think that's bad stay away from Test Your Might.
