it is truly remarkable that I cannot think of another context in which this gag wouldnāt make me wince or roll my eyes and they sail on through
This is the official site for the MK11 world tour and guess what, one of the stops is in Vienna! This is crazy, why would it come here? I have a mission, I must go. Itās in July. I only see a sign up for competitors but I just wanna watch
Are esports free to watch in person or do you buy tickets like with regular sports, someone tell me cause idk

Yeah, I think the fatlities in 11 swing back to being shockingly goofy compared to some of the more gruesome ones in X.
I mean, Kabalās fatality where he splits someone in half is detailed to the point of being a Netter anatomy illustration, but it doesnāt have quite the same uncomfortable brutality of Jax ripping a personās head in half and stubbing his cigar on their esophagus.

Haha I knew someone would say that!
I admit, it would probably be kind of fun I guess
WHATāS THE WORST THAT COULD HAPPEN YOU LOSE TWICE AND DONT MAKE ANY FRIENDS
COMPETE COWARD
Even the bug lady has like, chitin heels.
OK I do have one structural complaint about the game which is that while playing through the klassic tower on hard is a great way to learn how to play a character after going through their tutorial if youāre as moderately OK at this as I am, fighting Kronika is not any fun at all, and they donāt even randomize the opponents depending on who youāre playing as?
so it turns out most of the single player modes other than the tutorial and story (which in addition to the online and the fundamentals are exceptional!) are bad
Kronika isnāt fun to fight at all. Iāve taken to just going through on very easy to see the endings. Between her moves that do something like 30% damage, her ability to stop most multi-hit moves, the assistsā¦itās a bad fight!
Then sheāll occasionally do that fatality as insult to injury.
Also I opened an 11,500 coin chest today for an augment, a fatality token and a banner. The Krypt is cruel.

yeah, like, sheās beatable, and a lot of the lesson of playing on higher difficulties is ākeep pressure up at all costsā so the lessons of that fight arenāt entirely impossible to generalize, but itās just trying to stunlock the AI in the narrowest way
just give me a random string of eight battles and maybe I fight shang tsung or shao kahn at the end, whatever
anyway they also donāt give you enough incentive to play as the evil characters in the story! so now I gotta go find out if I actually like the cowboy guy
IāM NOT A KOWARD, I WILL KOMPETE
I fucking signed up, alright?? Thatās ā¬ 70 I canāt afford lol Now Iāll have to actually get decent at this game, what have I done
EDIT: this post sounds a bit off - I actually wanna go and Iām super excited! Itās gonna be fun

Cowboy guy is super cool. I thought about playing him. Heās super technical though in my opinion and so far removed from anything Iām used to in fighting games that I gave up pretty quickly. I think my options are Liu Kang, Scorpion and Cetrion. Those are the ones I like the most just judging from how they feel to play. But I havenāt played everyone just yet so that might still change
I uploaded a combo replay to the Steam Workshop! Itās the only Liu Kang one right now, so everyone check it out. Itās a combo I stole from someone and nothing special but that was fun to do
Surprised at how much I enjoy playing as Jacqui over Cassie this time around. So many of her moves can combo into the clinch, and if your time is right you can even juggle a little off one of the follow ups.
I miss Cassieās kick combos, though. I guess Sonya got all of those.
I let her AI go wild in an Endless Tower, so between the rainbow jacket emblem for using her a bunch and this evil Raiden icon I got in the Krypt Iām dubbing my banner āGay Praiden.ā
Oh also I got one of the āpervert mustacheā Kano skins, so while my unlocks havenāt been the best, Iām happy for now.

yeah Jacqui is a lot of fun, sheās on the list of fiveish people Iāll rotate to when Iām messing around
itās so hard to play online when you canāt pause and look up the moves though lol
turns out I can be made to enjoy a really technical fighting game but I canāt make any of the complicated inputs actually stick in my head
remind me how I pin them to the UI?
