    MILEENA, WHY

    Posted: 12 Dec 2020 06:52 AM PST

    Hi guys, I did a fanart of Tanya, I wish she was in MK11 as a playable character. I tried to bring elements of her previous costumes and also changed her weapon (I don't like the Kobu Jutsu), hope you like it!!

    After more than 6 months without playing the game, changing my mindset about it helped me to finally enjoy it without so much frustration.

    Posted: 12 Dec 2020 11:43 AM PST

    Hi,

    I know it's nothing ground breaking, and that most of you already enjoy the game as it is, but I was one of those who get more and more salty with season of KL and finally dropped the game for more than 6 months.

    Recently, I've re-launch it and give it a new try, and I quite enjoy it. At first, I just thought it was the break alone that helped, but I can clearly see two different mindsets for "before" and "now", which are basically :

    1. It's not because you dominate your opponent on first (or subsequent round) that he's worst than you. Have faith in the matchmaking : If you encounter him, it's because the system thinks you have the same level. However, due to the nature of the game, it's easy to think that if you "perfect KO" your opponent, you're clearly better than him ... You're probably not. You can 2-0 a set with 10% HP left each round, and that set could have been 0-2 easily. You have luck by guessing 3-4 times ? Guess what, you perfect win him. Play another set, and the luck will maybe be with his side.
    2. If you think you could have won if you haven't missed so much input, don't take it to hardly on yourself. You're just learning, just like everyone, and everybody misses input from time to time. You just don't see it as clearly when it's your opponent than when it's you. Be gentle with yourself, only repetition will lead to better and precise actions.
    3. If you lab a lot, it's good, but If you go to online with the expectation to be able to reproduce everything you do in lab in your games, you will be frustrated. The stress, the challenge, the pace of a fight can greatly alter your precision. Be gentle with yourself, and don't hardcore lab thinking that after that you "have to win 90% of your matches".
    4. If you are at lower tier level like me, just realize that all those shiny BnB doesn't really impact much of your win. After 6 months of stop, I didn't recall all my combos, and I did a lot of plain kombo string, and surprisingly I didn't "lose a lot more" than before. It doesn't mean that BnB (30-35% combos) are not useful, just that if you have good basics (Am I supposed to defend ? to punish ? Does he have enough meter to do a wake-up attack ?), good mindset, etc ... You'll be surprised by how much you can be competitive with simpler (yet a bit weaker) combos.
    5. Realize how much there isn't much at stake. I know gaming can be quite serious for some, but realize that if you are like me, you are probably playing to have fun. Having fun is the first thing that draw you to MK11. If you create a mountain of expectation (KL league, win ratio, ...) you'll risk to lose that fun. Don't look at your rank too much, don't look at your win ratio, your opponents one, don't overthink character selection (I encounter a lot of player that hide their cursor to not show what characters they took, I don't understand how it's relevant since most of us won't change character based on our opponent's one). I think NRS did also a great job by allowing other means to access to KL skins, because now, even if you really want a skin, you don't have to grind that demi-god rank. Realize also how much a skin won't make the game so funnier that it will compensate all the grind you'll maybe have to do to unlock it.

    Well, I thought I'd write a smaller post about my returning experience, but if it can helps other to not get to the "burn out" point I got, it's always that :).

    Of course, I'm not naive : If I get to that point before, I will maybe be trapped to that vicious circle at a future point. This post is also a reminder for me that MK11 *IS* fun, at the condition you allow yourself to have fun with it ;)

    Quick reminder for everyone who bought the $100+ edition on launch, then $40 for Aftermath, then whatever it was for ultimate....this is an absolute travesty to the series.

    Bombardier Beetle was buffed with the latest patch. Amplified it doesn't disappear on hit anymore, so it must be respected. So setups like this can become possible: unblockable, unbreakable 320 damage 2 bar combo

    Difference between Midway and NRS interpretation of Shao Kahn

    Posted: 12 Dec 2020 10:30 AM PST

    Midway's Shao Kahn:One of the greatest video game villains of all time. Introduced by towering over a begging Shang Tsung which shows the last boss is helpless to The Emperor. A Cunning and powerful warlord who killed the Dragon King, drained the life force from Outworld to empower himself and is responsible for the conquests and enslavement of numerous realms and races, always had a back up plan in case his current failed, had Mileena created to kill and replace Kitana for the day when Kitana would betray him, kept Sindel's soul as a back up plan and when the Deadly Alliance attacked, he sent a double to die in his place and when Onaga returned, he returned and took back his throne and he is responsible for Armaggeddon

    Netherrealm Studio's Shao Kahn:An incompetent brute who needs his sorcerers to do the thinking for him, loses every fight and is never allowed to appear imposing or threatening. Sindel apparently killed her husband, not Shao Kahn. Explains his plan to have Kitana killed and replaced with Mileena instead of using magic to make Kitana believe they are sisters in order to keep her under his thrawl. Has a big elaborate execution for Kitana instead of having Mileena kill her in the throne room. Easily manipulated by Quan Chi. Dies and is brought back as Kronika's henchman. Is now reduced to a "orange man bad" joke. The menace that Shao Kahn once had is gone and all we are left with is a mindless brute incapable of a single thought.
