Every move has a set amount time to reset, whether you hit the opponent, miss, or they block. We count this data in the amount of frames/s. 9/60 on hit meaning if you land the hit then you can move 9/60th of a second faster -13/60 on block means if you attack if blocked then you move 13/60th of a second slower than opponent

I noticed a similar design philosophy in sf6, most things are minus in that game too as opposed to sf5. But they are safe just by the fact that they create so much space. I think it's there to kill your offense and you cant create block strings and make that poke a bit too good

[@JonathonTheAsshole]

It's there to force you to spend drive meter to get the same offense you got for granted in SF5 with buttons other than chaining lights. If you wanted to meaty with a medium button and then frame trap with another you got to spend meter on a drive rush most of the time unless your character has a oki setup on a particular knockdown to force them to wake up into a late frame to increase your advantage on block.

[@mrblooper1994]

@@JonathonTheAsshole resetting offense with drive rush is not real tho. Most of the time time you can jab check the rush itself. But doing it after a plus move of a late frame on Oki is fine since it's reactable and you usually get DPed on or lv1 supered

[@JonathonTheAsshole]

@@mrblooper1994 I didn't say "reset offense". I said you had to spend meter on DR after your knockdown to get the same advantage frames on your oki that you did in the previous game with an extra +4 on your button allowing you to do a second medium button and not get jabbed out of it. You need take a reading comprehension class if you somehow managed to get that from what I typed.

[@myyoutubeaccount4167]

Not really. It sounds confusing but what this video comes down to is explaining how D1 works in terms of how long it takes to start/hit/recover(hit)/recover(blocked), additional properties of the move (such as how far it pushes you back on use, or the ability to use special moves after it) and functionality: that being to surprise/mixup your opponent by making use of special move cancels and/or to create a state where neither player is attacking or defending. There’s a lot of FGC terminology that can seem a bit overwhelming, but I wouldn’t call it impenetrable. All of this knowledge isn’t even completely necessary to play and learn the game, but it definitely can help, especially at higher levels of play.

[@tylermitchell87]

[@A-Aron564]

I think it’s good that it’s that minus. You have to be on it to get the d1 or d3 punish. I don’t think any other mid normal should be fast enough to full combo punish, but if there are even 10 or 11 frame mids then blocking a d1 guarantees a block string. If they get caught mashing then you can hit confirm into a full combo. Anyone who is mad about this is just mad they can’t spam d1 with no real consequence. That’s one of my few issues with mkx. It’s such a good tactic for some characters to spam d1 with little to no consequence. I really hope this is universal for all characters

[@cee119]

Subscribed right after listening. This is great insight. I played MK11 regularly for the past 4 years(Kano, Sub) so I used to spam d1 until I knew how to play. I still use D1 but only for setting up the mind game.

[@krushingbro6620]

as long as the pokes arent gonna be like MK11 i'm all on board

[@DoomsayerStudios]

lol, not being able to abuse low pokes anymore is a plus. Winning was way too easy in MK11 because half the time I'd wait for an opportunity, start spamming d1 as a punish and then throw or use an overhead. Getting close to me in that game (I mained D'vorah and Kano) was a bad idea. Crouching jabs in that game were as prioritized as they are in KOF '94.

A crash course for your followers who aren't major Fighting Game dudes might be helpful in getting more people to appreciate the genre beyond casual play.

[@underthemayo]

I may do something like that when the game gets closer to release. Basically, everything has recovery frames. If you block a sub zero ice blast, you can punish him because he can't block. He has to recover first. So everything is negative to a degree. Some thing very negative, so you can punish. Some only slightly negative, so they need to be defensive after because you're it's your turn to come in and start some pressure. This topic was about low poking jabs being "too negative", punishable to the degree of something like a special attack should be.

That requires some godlike execution. Frankly, if you can hit perfect punishes on something like a d1 in any fighting game, you deserve the rewards (assuming the reward isn't some insane 70+% combo).

Because of special move reversals, explained at 6:42 Block advantage isn't determined by someone's ability to punish it.

Punishing low pokes is great. The MK team strongly works together with progamers and pls let me ask you an honest question: What was your best record and division in MK11? Maybe you are a pro, then you also have a good experience. If i had enough spare time to play mk11 alot, i was always in the top3 god tiers. Sometimes i joined the tournaments, but there are really strong players. When you start playing against the pros, you have to face perfect blocks and stuff like that. There is a huge gap between the pros and casual players. It is very annoying, if you cant punish poking. On the one hand poking is necessary, because it is also some kind of skill, if you know when you can interrupt the attack of your opponent. But in some cases, it is so annoying and exploitable, that you need a system how you can punish people, who lame with pokes too much. Poking can be a good thing, like doing 2-3 pokes and then do an above attack, because your opponent start blocking low. This is fun and enjoyfull, that you can feint and trick your opponent. In general, it is a good thing. But because it is also super easy to exploit and lame with it, there must also be a way to punish it. And i think it is a good new feature, if you can punish them. I think it is necessary and i like it. We will see how it will be in the upcoming title. I hope that you can perfect block low pokes and punish. Then everytime someone tries to lame with low pokes, i really hope they have to take a risk. But you cant just do a +frame on block because then everyone would simply normal block the poke and counter attack. This would require no skill at all. So a negative on block is mandatory in my opinion. But if you could get a +10 on perfect block, than it will be fine. I think the push is also very important, so you cant do several pokes in a row. So a minus on block with push, is a good thing. And + on perfect block without push, so you can punish. That would be great and i think this would be a good balance. I also think, that a poke which is not blocked, should also not work as a combo starter. I guess it won't be the case anyway, just wanted to mention it. The reason is simple, poking is already very cheaty. And i think the interruption with a poke is already very strong. You can interrupt many combos this way, and it would be very bad, if you could then start a poke combo in the middle of the combo of your opponent, because this would lead to the character becoming unplayable and lowest tier. If the players find out this will work soon and easily, nobody will want to play with this char anymore. There are some combos you can interrupt in mk11 with a punch and then punish with your own combo, but you could do quite a good balance, if you could then make the counter combo also interruptable with a poke or perfect block, this would be the most fair thing i guess, because both requires at least some skill. And this would make the pro matches very enjoyable to watch (or to play, if you are good enough)

All the subsequent games needed, was just a few little tweaks here and there!!! I also feel like the “cameo“system will get a little repetitive and gimmicky… especially with no option to have classic 1:1 matches… ??? Hopefully there will be enough outcry that they will be able to change that in the future with a download/update… 🤷🏻‍♂️
