yea i already know this, the XBOX players do this the best actually. thats when you fake out a 11,cs w/ a cs UP+2. my point was if i do connect a 1,1,3 ill be able to do big combos after PLUS MY DAMN HIGH MIDS WILL ACTUALLY HIT EVERY ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! im sick of people like Vers, Karate, Groy, Mortal25 & a couple others being able to block duck them

yea Kenshi w/ those A/C's + all his other stuff O_o but we already know he's tops.
mokap though? he gets worse offline, i dont see how you can say he gets better offline you know your stuff so i wont doubt you....






i dont spam unsafe pop up attacks, why do you think i cant use characters like Noob and Sareena i always get countered because my upload is almost always faster then my foe.

i do however spam pop ups that are apart of chain combos like the 1,1,3 w/ Mavado. which even online he is countered.

Kitana is a strictly turtle counter character. Fan wave counters tons of moves offline, online it just doesnt . all of her 1 and 2 weapon attacks are safe.

I wouldnt be so confident in Drahmin though. some one like myself can actually Parry inbetween the 1 and CS offline. online i cant because my foe is moving faster then me. i could cap and actually go frame by frame and show that my Parry to interupt a combo came out, but it doesnt register because my foe is moving slightly faster most of the time.

Noob has that decent low poke. his teleport can actually be used to counter his foe when they cant block for a few frames. online its dumb to use it as a counter.

the game is still a 50/50 game reguardless of safe and unsafe moves, its just offline a player wont be able to spam a move like Quans b+1 in his 1st stance like they do online. so there will be combo opportunities.

anyway what im getting at is my play will be the same except now ill be able to counter properly like a sareena ff+1 w/ a fanwave, unlike online when my fan wave doesnt counter those types of attacks O_O

also the damn time will be set to 40, this game especially should have a low time to reduce turtling by BOTH PLAYERS AT THE SAME TIME. i hate having my foes power drained like 60% to my 10% at 20 seconds into the round. then proceed to watch my foe stay away while im staying away for the next 60 seconds O_O which almost always makes me chase and get countered then lose because i was impatient.


i still say that offline Check would be the best player. w/ Dave and Vers right there. i also feel ill be right there as well because ill actually feel compelled to play high level because the playing field is leveled offline.


ok now im typing way too many words

best thing for MK8 will be for the MK team to hire Check to test the game. Seriously i wish there was a way i could convince Boon and company that hes the guy they need!!

we gotta play w/ your newer connection, we always had an ok connection.

Dave's close-by, too. Just learned he's from Cleveland.

Man, if we could all get together one day, would be hella sweet. That's one cool ass idea. It'd be like those MK Kompetitive guys in Venuzuela, lol (There's vids of them on Youtube. Just look up MKK casual).

Dan, it is not just mid pop ups. Moves like Kabal's wep. u+2, Tanya's aerial fireball, etc. are not safe either. There are a lot of more examples.

the game is still a 50/50 game reguardless of safe and unsafe moves, its just offline a player wont be able to spam a move like Quans b+1 in his 1st stance like they do online. so there will be combo opportunities.

The game is still mostly a 50/50 mix up, indeed. But, trust me, off-line a Kabal player will think twice about using wep. 4 / u+2 on you. If any of these two moves get blocked, he will lose at least 45% of his life. Like I said, off-like is played a lot more carefully and a lot of more turtling is involved.

Also, setting the timer to 40 seconds is a horrible idea. If you get combo'ed, you are fucked with 10-15 seconds remaining. The chances are that you will not make a come back.

Off-line rules should be: 60 seconds but 3 rounds. Standard rules of aerial cancels apply. No infinite combos. No Blaze and no Moloch (Onaga sucks anyway). No KAKs. One free throw per combo (no free throws off throws, though, IMO). No west coast lagging garbage... oh wait... XD

Check would definitely be the best off-line. Versa would be one of the best as well after he realizes what I've been telling him for 2 years. I feel that Dan and I would be up there as well. WCLG would still be awful.

thats 6 very nice, wonder who else.

thanks guys, youre too kind

i would be there to show dave why dairou gets beat by reptile, mokap, and kenshis teleport ; )

dan - i say mokap for now,but i havent really started on the tier list yet. its a early presumption. but mainly because of his lift combo and all around good stance. ( sweep, tracking mid which if connects = good dam... d1, d2 )

dave makes alot of good points, the biggest awareness and realization is how to make moves safe, meaning at what distance should a move be used.

unfortunatly,90% of moves completly up close is useless. and when used from far away can be reacted to easier. mka really needs a better up close game.

but the key to playing offline is learning move range to create pushbacks. something mkda had that was great.

gtg, thanks again guys

dan - up for some laggy matches? we never did our tanya dai rematch games.

I haven't really had an opportunity to play a versus game offline. Everyone I know is either an Xbox user, racing enthusiast, or simply don't care for fighting games. I'm content with online play though, my only qualm is poor winners. People who win and then say "owned" even if it was a really close game. I'm glad there's an ignore feature. PWR has the right idea with their abbreviated name, Play-With-Respect, I just wish more people did.

haha I'll take on anyone as long as I get to use Dairou.

Push backs are useful but only against some characters. Scorpion's f+1, Sareena's f,f+1, Drahmin's 1,1,CS, Kabal's Flash, Dairou's TS Drop, Mokap's, Ermac's, and Kenshi's lift, Sub-Zero's Pillar, etc. etc. will punish almost all push backs easily.

Play Kabal off-line and you will realize that you cannot do 95% of all the moves in MK:A on him. So much useless moves in this game because there is no frame advantage and safety.

then stay offline...dont over step what you cant handle ...no diss intended ...1
