true but you had guys like Tremor and Leatherface and Alien. Predator was out there doing 70%+ combos that weren't that hard. Ferrah/Torr could just take your whole life bar away. Everyone had a zoning, neutral, and rushdown variation.
MKX Raiden: Lightning God protector of earth realm MK11 Raiden: middle aged man cosplaying to help with his mid-life crisis with pepper spray and a tazer to make sure hes safe
As a Raiden main, I eventually learned how to decently play with him in MK11, but I did wish in the very game he was at his apex of power he was at the least what he was in MKX. Once again, I can decently play with him most of the time, but his frames are too slow, most of his crushing blows are too ridiculous to get and basically two abilities are worthy equipping. I played Thunder God in MKX for extended kombos, so in MK11 I was happy to have teleport, but he needs a buff so hard that possibly means entire character revamp.
Hunter of The Bigfoot with Internet Access I haven't played mkx or mk11 but as fan of the franchise you're right. When I see videos of mkx kung Lao he looked unstoppable. Mk11 version is so slow and doesn't have nearly the same level of flashiness and style
@@GomaGoesFishing That's mostly because of the change of style in animation. In MKX the animations were very fast so that you wouldn't see how stiff and unnatural they were since if you ever look at the animations closely, you'd see how they're pretty bad. In MK11 tgey vastly improved their style so that now everybody moves like a humanoid being and not like a stick figure. Another change is that MKX was made to be a super combo heavy game, in fact almost the whole cast has a 50% healthbar dealing combo, while MK11 is like most fighting games nowadays, a combo low footsies focused game. And finally all of the broken mechanics in MK9 & 10 really weren't popular with their professional players so they decided to leave them out. If you search on youtube, you'll see a bunch of videos explaining how easely exploitable MK9 was and how it just wasn't very balanced. MKX was a bit more tame in comparison, but still pretty broken. And finally MK11 hasn't really had infinities or death set up, etc. It's more of a change in game design philosophy than nerfing characters
Vanja Galović thank you for articulating your thoughts. My understanding from reading your post was that the game designers chose to make mk11 more fluid, realistic, and cinematic in terms of the animation and gameplay, but is it possible to not sacrifice all the things that made mkx and mk9 so beloved (the fast pace, 40-50% combos, diversity of combos) while keeping a similar amount of footsies and neutral? I feel like mk11 is not scoring very well with the MK community. I haven't delved too deep into the complaints but I also don't like how fighter's most flashy moves are locked behind three tournament variations then some of them never see the light of day due to custom variations.

Man, I miss Raiden in MKX. I always love Raiden and I remember playing him MKX is a blast and feel unstoppable. I even threaten my friends, "Don't make me use Raiden" If I did, I would've beat the ever living shit of my friends with double flawless. But in MK11....well it's an extreme downgrade. It's not even fun playing as Raiden. Shame.
I really miss that about mkx so many ways you can juggle your opponent for an extended combo without using any bars and alot of fighters had combos leading into launchers
The Kreativity in MKX took me a long time to appreciate. Animation still looks wonky but the game is FRIGGIN good. My main is PREDATOR. HOPEFULLY we kan see a PREDATOR Video after SPAWN😉
Takeo Masaki definitely agree on that but the mechanics and control of the game was so much better. When you launched the opponent there were about 5 different strings you could do over 30% for each character, but in mk11 there’s like 2 combos per character. Mk11 just feels overly fluid and it gives the impression of massive input lag that feels super off
I gave the game a chance again. I think he now is “usable” at least, not a top tier character but not as trash as he used to be. I think that if they tweak him a little bit more (not too much or else he’ll be one of those broken, boring characters) he’ll be a great character
All MKX characters looked intimidating n menacing. Most in MK11 look so fkin goofy and dumbed down. Have u Seen Sonya's Cassie's Kronikas n Skarlet bloated faces , wtf happened there ?
