[March-April-2019] Mortal Kombat 11 - Putting the "Fat" in "Fatality"

[Comma]

Today marks the start of DSP playing the newest release in the Mortal Kombat series, Mortal Kombat 11. The full release won't be here until April 23rd, but there is a beta period running until April 1st for people who pre-ordered the game. The Dark Surfer is planning on playing the MK11 beta during two of his early streams: Friday, March 29th (today) and Sunday, March 31st.

Literally the whole world and their mothers are looking forward to hearing what well-respected former Pro fighting game player AND Shitty Netcode Online Rage Tactics-specialist Philip Burnell's first impressions of the game will be. Will he praise the game? Will he burn it to the ground? Who knows!?

The previous installment, Mortal Kombat X (2015), and DSP didn't really get along. There's quite some salt to be found, but I'll leave you with a snippet of DSP's RAW and UNEDITED criticism of that game and its creator:

Discussion of Phil's Full Release gameplay begins here.

Odds on Phil deciding the beta sucks and refusing to play the full game even though he's pre-ordered it?

In theory the pig should do better in 11. Boon has said that he's tried to make the game more footsie heavy than these long bs combos, so as a former pro SF2 Turbo player, Phil should in theory do better than the other games.

Whining about input delay, terrible connections (lag dood!) etc. when he goes online. Same old song, whenever he plays this genre. Imo, playing fighting games is when he's at his most insufferable.

 

[KotatsuApe]

Oh yeah! Can't get enough of his constant whining when playing fighting games, you can really see his delusion of being the best player in the world get shattered in front of his eyes and he scrambling for excuses in full denial mode

 

[ZehnBoat]

how many skeletons will he look at this time?

Our boy hasn’t exactly been bee-sting going back to SF lately so I’m gonna call a tad bit optimistic on that one. You are right about all the salty excuses that he’ll use when things don’t go his way. I especially adored his mental gymnastics one or two sessions ago when some guy got a reverse combo on him and he spent entirely too much time pigsplaining that the guy didn’t mean to do it and got lucky goat laugh snake laugh combo

Yeah. "Win didn't count because it was an accident" was a new one to me.

Then again, I would argue that if you can't win against a guy that's accidentally beating you that says more about you.

i always love it when phil tries to explain away his loses
THAT GUY IS AN IDIOT
THAT GUY IS A CHILD
IT WAS AN ACCIDENT

and yet you still lost? ?

I'm sure that D$P will refrain from being critical of the game as he was during his Sponsored Elo Hell stream. 'It's only a Beta, so it would be unfair to be critical of it'...

 

[Salubrious]

You would think a guy with 11+ years of FGC experience would have practiced the single player off stream and jumped straight into the online play.

I couldn't even type that with a straight face.

He's number one in USA dood, more respect.

I cannot wait for all this "Knowledge" he's gaining on single player to be lost no the first online match rage.

 

[Raven'sChild]

...former pro Fighting Game player, #1 American Super Turbo player at Evo once...is playing online matches with Easy Inputs on.

Holy shit, DSP's chat is completely saturated with constant Wings of Redemption references, autism and trolls, JonCTheThird included.

And DSP is sitting there just playing the game literally no one is paying attention to. Well, not entirely true, because he took the time to cuss out "Vote_Democrat" because he cheerded something about the game and ended the cheer with "look here and listen".

What a trashfire.

 

[Pubic Enemy #1]

He's progressing through the DSP Cycle nicely tonight. Started off boring (playing single player), jumped online and started running through scrubs so he thought he was hot shit. Then when he starts losing a few rounds, the toxic Phil starts to emerge. We're at that stage now.

A good telltale sign of this is that he starts puffing his chest out and flexing on random members in his chat for no reason. He's ignoring all the autistic shitposting going on so he can zero in on one guy who makes a polite suggestion. Phil quickly tells the guy that he's "WROOONG" in that obnoxious tone he has. He's such an insecure fuckboy.

 

[SleepyNibba]

I like how he's using all the cheap tactics that will be outdated once the full game comes out, thus learning nothingand getting curb stomped on full release.

 

[Psychobilly]

What are the bets that this one is going to end up in the same way Soulcalibur VI did, where he plays singleplayer for way too long, then "in the lab" session, then never plays again after one online session?

 

[actually]

Holy shit, DSP's chat is completely saturated with constant Wings of Redemption references, autism and trolls, JonCTheThird included.

When he came back from his midstream break (LOL), he literally asked chat if they had anything they wanted to ask him (WINK WINK GIVE ME TIPS) and literally not one person responded to him. He asked multiple times and still got nothing and finally said something like "Well, guess we'll get back to the game then".

@Comma , any chance you have that?

Downloaded the part just now, yeah, pretty cringy. I'll upload and add it to this post shortly, but I want to... do something with it first.

-edit- Ok, @actually, here it is:

Sorry, couldn't resist.

And this was after doing a very weird 4-minute mid-stream thing where went over his upcoming schedule AGAIN, as if he hadn't done that during pre-stream already. Very odd.
