ALL of the best tactics in fighting games are ones that force your opponent to guess what you are going to do. It's just more prevalent in this game. Don't hate it, embrace it.
@konqrr I was pissed at this jerk off for using Ashrah the way he did because he was losing and then the Hotaru shit added to it. Back then I wasn't as skilled at the game as I later became, which would have allowed me to better defend~counter his stupid ass and continually beat his dumb dick into the ground round after round. But you know how infuriating the 50/50 was in this game, Kel. Easier to embrace it when you're playing amongst friends than with scumbags like this guy.
the only thing i have a problem with in this game is the fact that its to easy to hit someone while they are rising from a knockdown. they should have delayed getup like in mk armageddon.
I'm sorry itch. If I may ask, all of these fighting terms confuse me and don't know what they mean. But one concerns me. The 50/50 aspect. I tried looking it up and asking but When I found the definition I didn't fully understand it and people didn't really know either. So, you think you can enlighten me please? So I can get a better understanding of the 2nd fight?
By the way, I agree with the first fight. Really sucky.
@twisted6lynch6man Hotaru has two 2-hit attacks, one that ends with a low that you would have to low block to avoid, the other with a mid that you would have to block high to avoid. And it's nothing but a guess as to which attack will come last: the low or the mid. Thing is, if I guess low and block low and he uses the mid, I get hit. If I guess mid and block high and he goes low, I get hit. So long as I keep guessing wrong, he keeps scoring hits and continues to pressure me. It's aggravating.
I've always hated MKD because of its 50/50 nature. I've since learned that Street Fighter 2 is actually very similar in that regard, even though it commands a whole lot more respect.
Hotaru has an attack that goes: 1b3, where the b3 hits low for 9%. He also has 13, where the 3 hits mid for 13%, both decent damage. What I think is broken about it is this, as you see in the video: It's a guessing game. If I block high to prevent 1b3, I still lose 9% to the low. If I block low to stop the b3, I get hit for 13% with 3. The fact that the game has plants and no wake up is horrible, especially when most of those plants lead to free throws, but the oversimplistic nature of guessing
whether to block high or low again and again is lame in my opinion. I call it broken because that kind of gameplay gets old, tired, boring, and obnoxious very quickly, and if I'm going to pay for a system and then a game to play on it, I want good entertainment value, like God of War for the PS2; something with variety, interest, and good gameplay so that it's not old in a matter of days. Most of all I hate feeble minded adolescent nerds who are stimulated by using tactics like these online.
So you're saying that memorizing the timing of attacks and the fact that people do the same attacks and combos make it broken since it gets easier to know what the opponent is going to do?
No. Look at the Ashrah fight and tell me it's not broken to be able to throw, step back, jump in kick, throw, and repeat. And the Hotaru fight is an example of the 50/50 which sucks without a wake up game.
Hey Itchitty. Just trying to grab your attention. I commented on one of your videos. Hoping I get a reply soon. Write to me if you can't see what I wrote.
MKD is broken for sure, and MKA is even worse, especially online. But every now and then i get matches with people who don't exploit the "brokeness" of the game and i really enjoy it. I'll back off a fallen opponent or someone that i knock into the wall as an act of sportsmanship. But there are those who call this a "loser attitude" and that i don't really want to win. Whatever. I like to play for fun. That's it.
I'm not gonna lie; I agree with you a hundred percent man. The fact is that Scorpion having so many safe options as he does and the fact that stuff like Ninja Sword f+1, spear, 2,2,1, hellfire, walk up free throw is half your life is sketchy, sketchy, sketchy. To be honest though MKD is pretty broken; check out nukesgoboom's videos if you haven't seen them.

We all know that Mortal Kombat games are broken but when you play fair against someone good it's one of the best fighting games.
