Mortal Kombat X

Re: Mortal Kombat X

Picked it up. Hopefully get to play tonight. I am sure I will be horrible and continue to be horrible at it. I might have asked before, but will I be at a disadvantage to those with arcade sticks?

Arcade Sticks don't matter. Last year's SFIV Evo champ won playing on an old PSone Pad.

Re: Mortal Kombat X

I'm wondering if I'd be better off with an arcade stick. I'm trying to main Kung Lao and I'm having issue in match vs. Training in executing combos. In training I can hit the ex spin without any issue , and in a hard match against cpu I miss it more times than not.

And the only way I can hit the 11212 combo consistently is if I use my bird and index fingers. It's very hard for me to execute with my thumb so that combo really got me thinking about a stick. The only thing I worry though is most button layouts are 3-4 wide so it worries me having to block with my pinky or do people move their whole hand around the buttons?

Also seems running would be a little more difficult however I cant execute running links on pad now so that's a wash .

Fighting games are admittedly not my forte but I decided to pick this up for nostalgia reasons and have such a hard time executing any moves with the damn DS4.

Re: Mortal Kombat X

It's all preference. Mortal Kombat's block button and heavy reliance on it for meter burning specials makes it hard for me to play it on a stick. Injustice on the other hand was much easier as a stick game for me.

I think I've seen people move their arcade stick layout to

BLK FP BP
BLK FK BK

This lets them rest their thumb on block while still having access to the shortcuts for throw, stage interactions, and stance switch.

I still haven't gone in the spider caverns....**** that

Glad to see they're addressing matchmaking, it's a mess right now

Re: Mortal Kombat X

Am i the only one not really bothered by the spider caverns in the krypt?

Also, so far the matchmaking seems much better. All of my matches online so far have been against guys around my level who don't have a ton of games in online(compared to earlier when i was fighting guys who had 500 wins and like 10 losses). Better connections too.

Re: Mortal Kombat X

Nice to hear, Springs. I might have to jump online again this weekend.

The jump scares in the krypt don't bother me at all as long as I have the sound turned all the way down.. Then I just walk all nonchalantly without a care in the world.. But if the sound is turned up, forget about it.. I jump like crazy on the jump scares then..

Re: Mortal Kombat X

I didn't know about the jump scares and the first one scared the **** out of me.

Re: Mortal Kombat X

Matchmaking improved?! Great! I wish they could reset my record haha. My record is like 8-31 and I promise you at least 30 of those losses were against guys I shouldn't have been playing. My 8 wins were against guys "on my level", one win coming today. I thought I got better but I guess matchmaking helped me.

Re: Mortal Kombat X

I'm on Mortal Kombat pretty much every day and would love to play against some of you guys. Not that good but I'm getting better.
