New kombat kast today showing off Fujin, they also offered a quick look at the "retrokade" background which is pretty cool.
Skip ahead to about 14:00 for the actual start and a the quick look at the retrokade background is at 42:45
I personally find Fujin a very boring looking character.... I can't decide if his looks are trying to hard or to less.
Agreed, the purple Rain prince should be a first choice imoI really like him, then again I've wanted them to bring him back for the last 3 games and they are finally doing it. I'm still pissed about Rain not coming back though, I'd much rather have Rain than any of the guest characters they've had, especially the Joker.
I've owned this game since launch and have put in less than an hour into it. I'm so bad at fighting games. That said, my recent addiction to combos is SoR4 and previous addiction to DMC 5 has given me another itch to try overcoming my fighting game suck. Any tips for a newb?
Play on easy and try to pick up one character at a time, go through their character tower, go to the command list and look up the combos etc.
Who's a balanced character to start with?
Heads up if you didn't notice, the character towers now all have a 6th tower.
I've gotten burned out on leveling up in the towers, they want you to play 70-80 matches sometimes to be able to earn the brutality etc.
Have you done the Character towers? Those are a straightforward way to unlock content including the Intros and Outros.
Also, if you play a in The Towers of Time and any tower unlocks Brutal Difficulty turned it on to see the rewards offered. Sometimes replaying with Brutal Difficulty will offer Skins or Brutalities.
I think they changed the towers more with the expansion, it didn't used to take as long but I was doing some brutality hunting and they wanted 24 fatal blows and 25 fatalities and 18 brutalities all in one tower so you have to not only do complete the matches in that tower but go to the other towers and keep playing forever.
With that, one thing that wasn't apparent at first is I think you can do multiple towers at once. For example in a fresh game get Raiden up to say Tower 4 than purchase and summom the tower for Sub-Zero. Get him up to Tower 4 and purchase and summon another tower like say Johnny Cage. With 3 character towers up to 4 you could casually playing Raiden, Sub-Zero, or Johnny Cage and when they do Fatal Blows, Brutalities, or Fatalities it'll count towards their summoned tower. That way you don't have to just play on character grinding and keep some variety.
Unfortuately, it's not convenient to track your progress, but I think it does contribute.
Also, for a while there was a cheat where if you start a Fatal Blow then stop then restart the round, it still counts. So if you use the Konsumable that gives you Fatal Blow right away, you can speed grind it out. That's how I got a lot of Fatal Blow requirements done.
Yeah I was doing that with the fatal blow thing too until I ran out of that konsumable lol. The ones where they ask you to spill a certain amount of blood are ridiculous lol.
