MKX is still my favorite Mortal Kombat game of the modern era. Everything about it just feels so right and still is a blast to play a whole decade later
@azezel31766 күн бұрын
Funny you say that. When MKX was going strong everyone was complaining how brain-dead the game is with 50/50's, mixups too strong and stupid. That's why MK11 was more neutral focused.
@ashtonramsey3866 күн бұрын
@@azezel3176i think that's because when mkx came out we never had a game like that before and we wasn't use to that play style in all the 50/50s plus pressure and crazy ish that was in it but now we appreciate mkx because it's fast paced and fun and it makes us be more aware of all the crazy ish all the characters has and yes mk11 is more balanced and mk1 is still tryna find its way to be fun but mkx is just fun overall niw that we understand it

Reptile's placement makes perfect sense, imo. He has safe armor, above average zoning, excellent mobility and mixups all as part of his base kit, and one of the better mids in the game.
@RoyArkon6 күн бұрын
Reptile's Zoning in MKX was one of the best in the game. Having the ability to have two or even 3 projectiles at once, as well as stopping the Forceballs in their place allows to control the pace of the match to perfection.
@MultiDevon1236 күн бұрын
He doesn't really change much outside of damage (Nimble), unblockable (noxious), and whatever deceptive is (my fav variation btw). He's essentially a all around character.
@RoyArkon6 күн бұрын
@@MultiDevon123Actually he does. Noxious Reptile gets more room to use his Zoning and EX moves since he doesn't need meter for the Poison Gas, then for Deceptive and Nimble he has to use meter a lot more for pressure (Deceptive) or damage (Nimble).

Not the most technically fluid, but it helped win matches in hard mode, and once I met a professional player in a lounge in 2015 who was generally much better and faster but I narrowly lost 3-2 to him, albeit in a friendly match over drinks using Jax's Heavy Weapons variation.
