I choose not to. I enjoy my time with Psylocke/ Venom/ Rogue or just middle tier characters, even Jin or Strider as well. All I am saying, is I've run into too many matches where I've seen the assist spammers, and whatnot, and it annoys me, personally. I understand you have to win, but there are other ways. I've taken out many a Sentinel, and left people looking like chickens with their heads removed, not knowing what to do/ knowing how to combo or anything of the sort. I just hate it, the easy win tactics. I've played fighting games since Kof 94' and Fatal Fury special bout. I've done my share of cancels into supers, countering into other moves, mid jumping, cross up otgs, linking yadda yadda.. the whole nine. So 'Definitely' requires a lot of skill is probably translated to youtube.com/gamefaqs/srk, learn and go to training mode. If it's possible to do in the game, via learning it off of youtube or gamefaqs.com or w/e ...it's not requiring that much compared to other games. I just chose not to be a sheep and play that way. If you guys enjoy it, by all means, have your fun. I'll be in my xbox live party, playing with my friends that I know aren't cheap or spam assists in a sequential method to OTG and/or chip every bit of energy.Originally Posted by debs 168

can you even play as sent, storm, mag? it definitely requires a lot of skill and is not just spamming. learning fast fly/unfly/resets and all that is *NOT* easy at all, period.
I feel you. What I was trying to convey was basically, to me at least, there is more satisfaction excelling with a less popular, or mid level characters. Not saying you are handicapping yourself, but no one is original with it. If you face anyone online with these top tier beamers and and whatnot -- it's like what's the use unless you are coming at them with the same types of chars, cause you're right ... you're not winning at all. I just hope there's more balance, diversity, and people don't have to pick from 5 people just to win and compete. All I'm saying.Originally Posted by debs 168
using that logic, anything is possible to learn.
if you're willing to be taught and you're willing to put the time in then anything can be learned in any game.
my point is that what you see as spam is not so. its strategy. its not even about winning necessarily but thats how these characters play in that game. what you see is how you should play that particular character.
it would be like someone saying strider is cheap because all he does is attack attack attack, orbs, doom assist, etc.
but thats how that character plays. thats how a person HAS to play that character in order to be effective. why CHOOSE to handicap yourself?
if you aren't doing resets/infinites with mag (and psy assist), fast fly/unfly with sent then you aren't winning with those particular characters. what i'm talking about and what i think you're talking about are two different things. its not about spamming an assist, its about landing that critical hit to start your shenanigans and/or zoning and/or keeping the opponent in block stun to set up an unblockable or whatever.
playing the characters that most ppl love to hate and winning with them takes skill. period. i challenge anybody that calls these characters cheap to try to do any of the %**+ you see in match vids or in the arcades or on psn/xbox live BEFORE you start calling these strategies cheap. it takes mad long to get good with storm, mags or sent.

it could happen because the mortal kombat stick thats dropping soon is a throwback to how mk was in the arcades.
but it probably won't.
