just took MKX online

jesus

thread title is on point

even the interface is pretty ineffective. also, I can't see connection quality no matter what. everyone's grey.
 
Art with the Takeda, not surprised because he plays Dhalsim and Martian Manhunter who have long ass normals too. His kunai is so damn good for pressure, it's -1 at worst on block and the EX one can be delayed to explode at will for pressure and oki.

Listening to Tom talk about variations is weird. From all angles, variations are just different characters in the same skin?

Variations are dope though. Every MK character now has a Ken and Akuma to their Ryu (or Dr. Mario and Luigi to their Mario). If you were attached to a design, it sucks but I noticed missing characters (or the spirit of) as some variations to those there. A neat middle ground.

As someone who knows very little about MKX, is it similar to Smash 4 customs? Or do characters have completely different specials/playstyles?

You swap out a couple of specials/strings per variation. Sometimes a new normal gets added for variations.

All characters have certain combo strings and special moves no matter what variation they are in.

A variation adds particular special moves and/or strings. If strings are added, sometimes particular button presses are redefined. (For example, hitting Back Punch would give you a normal-looking punch, but in a certain variation, you might swing a sword)

Has this character always had terrible design?

Who gets their first name printed in large bold letters on their abs and uses a belt with their last name.....so so terrible. His chin is also like 2 inches ahead of his mouth.

takeda has to be someone's self-insert.

scorpions whips, bandana, whips turn on fire, twirls them around cooly, is scorpion's protege, is psychic. ladies man.

etc.

He's supposed to be obnoxious.

Though he has gotten increasingly douchey the last couple games.

Well, I guess they accomplished what they were going for with this character lol.
They wanted their Hollywood character to be played by Van Damme in MK1, but he asked for way too much money, so they changed their Hollywood character to a douche Hollywood character.
