Stance change is only used for one thing, Jacqui’s Cybernetic Override, the ability to cancel her strings. But it’s practically useless since your opponent can react to the cancel and punish consistently. This is all my opinion
@aria31902 жыл бұрын
@PKLOVEPANGORO but why have a different button to cancel all of her strings. You can’t have a universal button to cancel all of her strings other than block. 112 cant be cancelled with 2, but can be canceled with 1, 3, or 4. But to cancel b4 you would only be able to cancel with 1, 2, or 3. That would be a little jarring for a new player to come and look at the ability list to see the cancel buttons. It’s much easier for the cancel button to be stance change. Yes, you can say that the block button can be used, but you block so often in mk11 that you could accidentally cancel a string you meant to block after.

MK11 was so close to being such a great game. It's a shame NRS didn't really address all of the core issues the game had. Not just breakaways, but the lack of consistent antiairs (and jump kicks being way too powerful for some characters), being able to flawless block launch when you're at massive frame disadvantage, the overall inconsistency of custom moves and how much they cost (why does an S tier character like Jacqui get to have 3 of her most powerful moves in one variation while characters like Raiden have to spend two slots for complete garbage moves?), extremely powerful defensive option selects, the atrocious wakeup system (it was even more awful back in the days of wake up buttons and the three delay types so kudos to them for fixing that at least), the lack of creativity with combos and variations (and so many characters having useless custom moves in general, forcing you to go with one or two kits most of the time), fatal blows being obnoxious and sometimes being unpunishable because of the pushback, the meter system eliminating any kind of meter management, and terrible character balancing issues throughout the game's lifespan (why were Jacqui and Cetrion barely touched but characters like Sonya were nerfed into obscurity?). I think some of the issues could've never been fixed because of how central they are to the game, like the meter system, but NRS could've easily addressed so many of the other issues that the community brought up so many times. I really liked MK9 and MKX so I hope NRS learns from the mistakes of MK11 to make MK12 the best MK game to date.

Breakaway shares a thing that annoys me with most of the MK games: It just looks flaccid. Unless it's a fatality, a brutality, a super move or a crushing blow, there is just not alot of impact behind most attacks. I don't expect anime game levels of impact on every move, but Shao Khan's Hammer just doesn't feel even close to as impactful as it should be. Every single swing should feel like a Sol Fafnir or a Behemoth Typhoon. Just absolute raw power. Instead it feel more like you are getting horny jail bonk'd.

My biggest issue with breakaway is that you can break in the middle of some characters special moves or non special cancelable strings. Mileena is a good example of this. You can break during ball roll, which defeats the whole purpose of her armor breaker in the first place because she can’t use it after her BEST LAUNCHER. F1 2 also can be broken out of and punished, and Mileena can’t do anything to stop you. What was the point of having armor breakers if you can’t use them to catch breaking opponents in some situations?

From the music, realistic artstyle, animations and how offensive/defensive mechanics are explored. MK9 and X are fun games, there's enough merit to enjoying them, (so don't feel like my opinion should influence yours) but my dislike of how NRS approaches things personally made me more interested and respect other games in the market when it coems to certain elements. It probably didn't help either that I started watching Sugar Punch Designworks and 4th Snake, and those guys really open your eyes to a lot of NRS games' underlying issues.

I've mained Skarlet for my entire competitive life in MK11, and her regular BnB is 212 212 44~tentacle. However, if the opponent breaks in the middle of the two 4s in the ender, the tentacle will come out on the armor, the opponent will get up and immediately full combo Skarlet. So, the "optimal" thing to do with Skarlet was to start my combo, look at the opponent's bar, and then end my combos in standing 4 whenever he had bar to break. After the armor breakers were introduced, I'd just always cut my combos short just in case they would break. It always felt awful and was really awful for Skarlet especially, and if I was playing against a Jacqui player, they would do 30% unbreakable in these punishes while I got 20% at most for any combo.

I absolutely love mk11 and find myself agreeing with almost all of your points. In my opinion frost is the best example of an armor breaker working perfectly, it's a universal special move that can be used immediately after launch, (b1-2-d3) it can be used after the 2 wich lauches the oppenent and catches instant breakaway, if you read the oppenent will delay you can finish the string and still armor break in time. The main thing with her though is that you still get a follow up either way, if you read a breakaway and the oppenent doesn't, you just get slightly less damage for the bnb and if you read it right you get a massive damage combo. Forsts armor break can be fit into her bnbs without changing the combo rought (it does change damage and combo timing and if you read the instant breakaway you can technically get a more optimal route then usual but the imporant thing is the usual routes stay the same and still work wether they breakaway or not) there are of course still times the oppenent can breakaway but they need to eat the majority of the combo first to do it safley. I feel like the mindgame behind frosts armor break is what they wanted for the whole cast, it feels similar to the counterbreaker mindgame in killer instinct where it makes the oppenent have to think and take risk to escape a combo. This comment will keep going if i let it but i wanted to share an example of what I think is the armor breaker actually adding depth to the combo game of a charecter rather than just not really functioning properly like scorpions or Sonias. Ty for the video it's agreat analysis of how this mechanic never really seemed to find it's footing in functioning properly. I would love to see you talk about some of the stuff you like in mk11 the game doesn't get enough credit for everything it does really well imo.

i think we can all agree that this game is good but incomplete. the game is beautiful and i think they spent so much time on visuals that the gameplay was thrown together, thats why we have breakaway and roll instead of breaker… think about it, they woulda had to make a different breaker animation for everyone on the roster but they went with universal animations, dropping(tucking) and rolling. thats why only certain characters have default mid projectiles and default armor breaking moves and why every characters down 4 isnt but should be the same frame startup and special move cancelable and thats just simple. after 2 years of this game being out, i realized that simple shit like that really really gets you far and is usually the best option and they missed a lotta basic important shit on this game but this might really help. db fighter z just got it right on the last update they had, everybody is op now. i just started playing it this summer but i’ve been been in tune since launch on, watching yt and watching a few tournys.

The other defensive mechanics also require proper timing to not be terribly punished. Burst from GG, Sparking from DBFZ, V-Shift from SFV... you can't just mash this defensive option and expect to get away with it. Hitting it at the wrong time could end with you eating even more damage than you would have with the combo you were in before. In MK11 there doesn't ever seem to be a "bad" time to use your breakaway. At best you can actively punish your opponent for taking their turn. At worst, it resets neutral and you take a blockstring or have to read a grab.

I don't know anything about MK but from what I can see in this video, I agree with your take very strongly. Good idea, not the most polished execution. Armor breaks have me thinking, though. While I would be very quick to say that universal mechanics should be performed the same way across the roster, it reminds me that SFIV had a similar thing going on: Focus Attacks are all armored moves performed using MP+MK, and like MK11, SFIV also introduced moves that break armor. But like MK11, it's not consistent among every character as this property is reserved *only* for special moves, such as Ryu's Tatsu or Honda's Hands or any special move done during wakeup. That leaves me wondering what people think about armor break in SFIV? I don't know much about SFIV either so apologies for any misinformation!

Yeah, I've only seen complaints about this mechanic from all that I've seen of _MK11_ in passing, and it's really not that surprising when it seems to be implemented in arguably the worst possible along with the supposed answers to it, especially since some characters got absolutely terrible Armor Breakers. I hadn't even known that it's done with something as easy (to accidentally do) as Down + Block, which somehow makes Breakaway even worse than it already was. Between the terrible story of _MK11_ and the piecemeal mechanics of it alongside all the bad choices throughout, that "such wasted potential" line from Sub-Zero II basically sums the entire game out. I have to wonder how _MK11_ ended up the way it did given _MKX_ was, for all its issues, done well.

I been playing MK11 for two years thinking it was gonna be the best game im the series and grew disappointed and frustrated because how flawed and random this game can get especially with BS like armor breaker, and the wasted potential with the game and it's gameplay experience as a whole. I didnt have any other fighting games I wanted to play (I own SFV on PC but didnt have a PC for the longest plus my console is an Xbox 1). But when you mentioned that there should be a forced wakeup on breakaway that blew my mind because that simple of a solution fixes so many problems with characters commiting to strings and combos when the opponent suddenly break in middle of it; then you're left minus. I wish NRS would've thought of that and implemented that because it's such a good idea, sadly the development and support of the game has been discontinued and now the game is left mostly unfinished in its gameplay with its duct tape solutions.

Mechanics apply to a whole cast, and whole casts are going to vary pretty heavily. I’d also honestly like more fighting game garbages to focus on shit that is just garbage in terms of the games mood and balance, unfitting, like shit that’s just absurdly too good, rather than just objectively bad moves.

I said it before but I think one of the biggest reason these suck is that krushing blows are one use. Soulcalibur 6 had the same idea with lethal hits but instead of absurd damage and combo extensions they just gave you extensions. But the main trade off is they’re infinite; if you keep meeting the requirements you keep getting it. Because KB’s are a one time deal they really makes breakaway feel awful because characters with only a few kbs to their name get completely screwed unless they have a shao Kahn tier armor break or are jax and can keep resetting with 50/50’s on the ground. Kbs working like lethal hits would help a lot just by making it less punishing. If you’re Johnny cage and they break your uppercut krushing blow then it’s gone forever and you’re best mid screen combo was wasted. I’d think it could be really good if kbs were like lethal hits. There’d be more decision making because you’d lose your wake up attack and they could get that extender again so you just forced yourself in a reset. As it is now it kills potential where you have to be unoptimizable with your combos if someone has bar and you just lose your big damage options if they’re smart.
@Neogears13123 жыл бұрын
Like this I half the reason I stuck with Jax. Yeah he reminds me a lot of classic ralf Jones, mediocre specials overall in exchange for the best normals in the game, but really it’s the sheer amount of unbreakable damage. His mix up is pretty powerful for something free and it leads to krushing blows that do a third of your goddam health from a mix up. He also punished get up attack hard and had the best fatal blow for a while so he’s the one character who basically thrived off the meter system universally. Even with that in mind I didn’t find breakaway satisfying. If I played raiden at launch and my launcher just didn’t work because of this I’d snap the disc in half.

A side note here, I kind of understand why many strong equip-able launching special moves were made to replace an armor break. These moves would often give incredibly high damage very easily and usually for minimal resources, such as Spawn’s charging hellspawn and Kotal’s kahn cut. As such, most players would want to breakaway ASAP from these to minimize the damage they take, as not breaking away from even one combo could mean instant death. This is already incredibly threatening, but if you gave a character with damage that potent a powerful way to circumvent the opponent’s one option for avoiding this damage, that’d feel like too much. Still though, I do wish they made armor breaks more consistent across the board, both in terms of the ability to land it as well as the reward you get from doing so.

on the bit where breakaways at certain points would be guaranteed to work: Strive's specific setup of burst counters this kind of thing very well without feeling frustrating. Similar gatlings allow for easier to read burst-safe zones, while burst being faster and larger than before leads to harder to bait bursts. Guaranteed burst spots don't necessarily mean that you throw a burst out when you see one because you may want to hold on to that burst if the opponent could potentially do more damage when they get resources down the line, complimenting how fucking explosive that game can be.
