    Mortal Kombat (2011)

    It's hard to describe. When I first got MK9, I absolutely hated it. I felt like it was clunky and awkward and I just didn't care for it. And then I started hating it a little less every day that I played it. After a week I was neutral. After two weeks I liked it Now I kinda love it, even...

    Yeah, so it seems Cyrax has bomb trap back, according to TYM. But only the 3rd player, UMK3 skin. The other two still can't Cyrax is gonna be on the tier list 3 times in 3 different places. Suck it, other characters.

    Ha. My friend amuses me. Me: Cyrax may as well have never been human, he was doomed to become a robot ninja from the moment his parents decided to name him Cyrax Him: Actually, that's his last name. Him: He's Phillip Cyrax Him: You know Him: Of the Vermont Cyraxes

    Oh and Zack, if either of us doesn't make it to Hubbs tonight, I have a corner setup I want to try against you. It's probably pointless given corner bomb loop and the possibility of being hit by a wakeup attack, but what I wanted to test is b+2 (cyrax's launcher) into a second b+2, which...

    Mortal Kombat (2011)

    I'm willing to say that bomb trap sort of did have to go if for no other reason than it did 25% damage before you could breaker it and was easy as hell to land. I think the *best* solution, which would have been to increase break window to 10 frames, make it techable while blocking but make it...

    Why do people like First Person Shooter so much?

    I always thought this was self explanatory. You get to shoot things in the face.

    Favorite Characters Collage

    I think we can all agree that the coolest character in that collage is Bugs Bunny. He'd also take any of the other characters in that collage in a fight using no less than 3 costume changes in the process.

    Movies you didn't appreciate then, but do now. (and vice versa)

    The only experience akin to this that I can remember off the top of my head is M. Night Shaymalan's "Signs". It just didn't take particularly long for the unappreciation to kick in. I remember the credits started rolling and I had this sense of enjoyment from the movie, the kind you get after...

    Nah I'm still happy with Cyrax as a whole, I just don't want him to lose command grab because he has no mixup game up close.

    Mortal Kombat (2011)

    I am in the middle of trying to convince people on TYM that Cyrax command grab was way over nerfed and that it is, as it stands now, functionally useless and my points seem to keep sailing over peoples heads as they respond "You're not going to get 60% damage off of command grab anymore, so...

    Odd, I'd have imagined scaling wouldn't have left the damage bonus from a jump in punch so uniform across combos and across characters

    Mortal Kombat (2011)

    Who were you talking too? Heh, just in case you were talking to me, the combo that gives Cyrax 36% can't be done with a jump in punch, you have to hit somebody with a bomb into nj. p to start the combo. Though that 36% combo uses the scaling reset glitch, so when they fix that it'll be a bit...

    Mortal Kombat (2011)

    Hmm, if you guys are right ( and I have no reason to believe you aren't) I've apparently overestimated the average damage most characters get from their meterless bnb's. I thought the average was closer to 40%

    how on EARTH do you have a 39 inch waist? I'm way fatter than you and I still wear 34's

    Mortal Kombat (2011)

    I wasn't sure, it's why I asked. I'm pretty sure Smoke can too, at least if what I've read is right. Somebody said he can currently do 46% midscreen meterless but after they nerf OTG bomb that'll go down to 42 or 43%.

    Mortal Kombat (2011)

    I don't think it matters with Cyrax to be honest, though I imagine he might be able to squeeze an extra couple percent in the corner by comboing 1 2 1 into buzzsaw. I'll test it later to make sure. On the plus side, though, I figured out today while fooling around that Cyrax can get 58% damage...

    Mortal Kombat (2011)

    How many characters are there in the game who can't reach 40% or higher without meter? I only ask because I've been doing some training and research to prepare myself for when they remove bomb trap and it seems like the most damage he can get without meter is 36%.

    Mortal Kombat (2011)

    hey, can somebody who has access to an offline training partner test something for me when the patch finally hits? When Cyrax's bomb trap is nerfed, do me a favor and attempt the beginning of bomb trap (Cyrax command throw, medium bomb, dash) but instead of 2, 2, do anti-air throw and see if...

    When are you going to have to say "There are too many fighting games"?

    I'd have to agree with the OP, at least in my case. Trying to learn Marvel, SSF4 AE and MK9 while also practicing Calibur and it is stretching me really thin. I think I'm going to have to drop at least one of these games soon if I want to make any significant improvements in any of them

    The Weight Loss Thread

    yeah I really need to get back on the ol' weight loss train. After I lost the 90 pounds I got so used to my metabolism doing all the work for me that I stopped eating right and working out, and it took 4 years but I've put on like 35 pounds since
