    So Homelander is out! As you expect in this kinda vid we will take all about him and showcase some of his cooler things. There's one definite bug, and one maybe bug in this video so we will see how that gets addressed. Did they really let Cyrax back into the game to rule us all again like a vengeful god? Watch the vid and let me know what you think!

      He's lazy ASF but if you learn the finger gymnastics his rush down and pressure is crazy imo stay away and zone but if you get them in the corner and you know what to do it's pretty much ggs for the other player.

  • @VerbalLearning
    @VerbalLearning 21 день тому +1

    I suspect Homelander's fly cancel will also allow him to turn combos into resets if he delays his attacks slighty. So if you wanna be cheeky, rather than fly cancelling into a guaranteed combo you go for the reset instead when your opponent expects you to continue the combo (which means they might not be blocking or ready for a mix) and perhaps you can get some juicy extra damage that way.

    9:04 Bruhhh,
    Another BUG??? When I made my second comment in response to the ‘Cyrax bug’, I felt a bit bad about having a ‘knee-jerk’ reaction but now that is totally justified.
    Seriously, how does NRS manage to ship two major bugs in one patch, almost nine months after the game has released??? Honestly, the incompetence of NRS is more impressive than comical at this stage. I have no words.
    So let us recap:
    1. Cyrax kameo is bugged and is overpowered as a result
    2. Homelander’s ‘God Complex’ move allows him to have insane walk speed after recovering from the move for FREE, despite him having a far slower ‘normal’ walk speed
    I am starting to think NRS does not understand nor know how to use Unreal Engine 4. If their codebase was solid, they would not have anywhere near as much trouble with MK1 as they actually did. I can smell a lot of shitty code just by the presence of the comical amount of bugs with each patch that this game has had.
    I am all for defending MK1 and praising it when it does something right, but this is so disappointing. Frankly, MK1 is becoming more and more unattractive as a game and I anticipate that it will die quickly, especially in the shadow of Tekken 8 and Street Fighter 6.

    What a waste of a character put in for marketing of the show. Atleast Omniman seemed more authentic. Should have done a different character from the Boys like Butcher who could have been a gun zone with installs for powers when he takes Gen V.
