Since I was on a huge fighting game kick but owned very few actual fighting games, I got Mortal Kombat XL on Steam. Yesterday I decided that I'd play online matches for the first time. I figured I'd most likely fellate phallus as I've only played one other fighting game against other humans (as opposed to AI players) which was Supa Smash Bruddas. As it turns out that I'm actually fairly average, and was even capable of beating the asses of a handfull of people. For example, right now I'm maining Cyrax Triborg since Cyrax was my favorite character in MK9, and I was challenged by a guy who played as Raiden. As soon as he challenged me I noticed that he had almost 6 times as many losses as he did wins, so I knew he probably wasn't going to be that good. Even so, his scrubbery still outshone my expectations. Literally all he did was jump and use uppercuts. And he jumped A LOT. As in he was almost never not jumping. I kept trying to attack him like I would anyone else, but just when I thought he was going to do something besides spam midair-punch-followed-by-uppercut, he would do it again. The first time I fought him I actually lost because of this.
After that, I was pissed. I began another match with him. Needless to say, the first thing he did was start jumping. I immediately responded with the EX version of Cyrax's signature air grab, which in this game causes him to jump into the air, grab his opponent tightly, fly upwards, turn upside-down, and then boost into the ground, slamming the victim's head into the ground. Since the EX version also made the opponent bounce, I was able to turn it into a combo which did a total of 30% damage. I also was able to hit him which several bombs afterwards, which I normally only use for zoning, not direct damage, but he was completely stupid when it came to avoiding them. After 2 rounds of him falling for the same shit, I finished him off with one last air-grab, which he practically walked into again, and performed one of Cyrax's brutalities where he does the normal air-grab, but slams the opponent's head into the ground so hard that it explodes. He then left the match before the "Rematch / Quit" prompt even appeared.
Mortal Kombat XL.
