Mortal Kombat ExL: Enhanced Netcode Edition

that one 33 string is a good low poke that can cancel, too.

[Krandor]

the execution in this game is laughably easy at least. people complained that runcancelling was hard.... i figured it out in less than 5 minutes on pad, and i never play pad

Run cancelling isn't really hard, but it adds an unnecessary execution barrier that didn't exist before. A decent number of launchers now have added pushback from the previous game, and apparently solely for the purpose of forcing you to run mid combo.

For a game that's generally light on execution randomly forcing some characters to have much more involved combos for basically no reason is kinda dumb.

[Vandole]

let those who cannot perform perish

dude, i play evil ryu. i literally give zero fucks about having a "barrier" like this lol

[Krandor]

I'm just saying, for what's generally a super newb friendly game, forcing some characters (Jacqui and Cassie are obvious examples) to have to do run cancelling or have absolute shit damage on any non corner combo is poor design imo.

I actually picked up (and subsequently dropped) Jaqui because of that until I git gudder.

it's literally the only thing making me interested. it's not hard to press forward forward block

It's not difficult, it's just pointless and tedious.

They brought back a wished for mechanic and added a new twist to it.

It's a fucking mix of umk3 run and fadc from sf4. Why complain? They are trying to keep it interesting for the players who want to compete

[Weltall]

Dole, there is a difference from playing Evil Ryu and playing Evil Ryu well

[Vandole]

this is true, but there's no problems with my execution as long as i stay away from online

Run was fine in UMK3, but it is terribly implemented in this game, as well as the stamina bar in general. It doesn't add any depth to the game, just a bunch of arbitrary f,f+block inputs in combos.

[Lucavi]

I have the hardest time STOPPING my run once I start it.

Agreed. Its not even close to what it was before.
