Clarity half res, Obsidian Weathers, Majestic Mountains, QW's Grass Patch, and Rudy ENB. e: Oh and I forgot to mention ELFX Shadows

You actually left out his most interesting trait - that he's arrogant and people can manipulate him by playing to his ego. But Onaga's basically the only one to do that, and even then rarely. While Shujinko's neat on a conceptual level, the quality of a character isn't in what their concept is. It's in the execution. In the actual story Shujinko's an empty shell that mostly just does what other people tell him to do. He doesn't really have principles, rarely objects to anything, and when he does object it amounts to a line or two before agreeing to do whatever. He's on what he believes is a quest to save the world but Darrius tells him to sit quietly in a jail cell to await trial for a nonsense crime and he not only agrees, he stays there for decades without resisting. When some one tries to break him out it takes about three lines to switch off his pacifist mode and get him to fight Darrius. He glides near frictionlessly through the story when he shouldn't.

@commiekin Oh, they're right. But compared to Taven he is a better developed and tragic character, but I don't think both will ever return to playable form (Mk1 doesn't count, because that game "Deception" much). One question I also have is which is your favorite mk? These games from the PlayStation 2 era are pretty boring in my opinion.

@@haruzito-8922I haven't played MK11 or MK1 yet, so I guess a tossup between MKX and MK9.

Commiekin is right. Shujinko is a fantastic concept (warrior who can learn nearly anyone's styles manipulated into helping the bad guys) but he's so gullible I found it frustrating listening to him just go along with everything he'd say. It's a shame cos I do think a character who starts off wanting to save the world but then spends his entire life tricked into helping the villains is a tragedy on levels of Shakespearean drama, but he was so badly written in Konquest you spend more time thinking how easily he falls for everything

MK writing and story execution has been bad for a long time. It was OK in the classic era, basically because they didn’t do much or need to do much; and then as soon as it tried anything more it floundered badly with MK4. It's arguably barely up to snuff even now other than character dialogue. Of course they were going to mess up a character as experimental and conceptually unique as Shujinko.

As some one who jumps between a lot of different fighting games, there's definitely always an adjustment period and it's probably worse swapping to/from NRS games. The block button and dial-a-combo systems are just very distinct from what most other 2D games use. Part of it might also be that anime fighters like Strive tend to have extremely distinct character gimmicks? I've not played a ton of modern NRS games, but I don't know that I've seen any character disparities on par with like Potemkin versus Chipp. That combined with the high mobility can certainly be a lot to take in when you're just getting into anime fighters. While I love Strive a lot, if you have a group of friends you can con into buying a fighting game - or don't mind hopping into discords to play against randos - Guilty Gear Accent Core +R and BlazBlue Centralfiction are both regularly on sale for very cheap and are much purer distillations of the subgenre than Strive is. Bit of a "dive into the deep end" kinda thing but sometimes you need full immersion for everything to really click. If you enjoy Injustice you might find BBCF somewhat familiar - the basic button setup in that series is also Light/Medium/Heavy/Gimmick, although gimmicks in BBCF are generally more pronounced than Injustice. Atrocitus has a funny cat button, Carl needs to constantly keep a robot lady moving around the screen along with himself Alternatively Melty Blood Actress Again is available for free with rollback over on play.meltyblood.club if you're willing to type in ip addresses and stuff to connect to lobbies. If you end up enjoying that one, it has a new entry called Type Lumina - which isn't as cheap but all its DLC characters are free

PS2 version at least, you can come back after training with Ermac to fight him as Ermac

You have to train with him first, also it being thw gqmecube version doesnt mattet as it happens in both ps2 qnd xbox

💀

I'll give that a try next time cuz lmao fuck me. Legit funny to get MK Deception advice in the year 2023.

Shang Tsung compromised to a permanent end turns out ermac's axe stance b1 was the secret sauce

​@@commiekinThe ai weirdly struggles with that specific move. Abused the everloving fuck out of it to beat Mileena in Chaosrealm.

This is a challenging optional fight in konquest mode (story mode) where ur hp is slowly draining and shang tsung is also healing health

Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon. It's real good.

ALLMIND never chills

That line was so hard

Honestly ranked matches are less stressful than casual matches once you learn to ignore the number, since the presence of actual match making will try to put you up against people of your skill level instead of the grab bag that is the battle hub.

Should be able to just search Evil Genius OST here on RUclips and find it, although I couldn't tell you the names of the tracks so you'll have to listen to them yourself

@@commiekin I've been looking a while. Track 12 comes close, but it's missing the more punctual part at the beginning.
