Kronika has to be the least fun bosses in all of mk, or fighting games in general, not because of difficulty but because all you do is uppercut, over and over and over
Agreed bro she's too op even in easy in story mode it's so annoying especially when you don't use Liu Kang at all do your aren't used to using him and spamming uppercut is so hard to land since she spams stuff
It's especially worse when you play a character that doesn't have a projectile like Geras, who also has a very limited range for his uppercut. If you're playing as Jade who has a good range uppercut and good staff moves, you'll have an easier time.
True in my opinion she is not hard but just stupid it's not fun how she can float there are no possible Kombat only the ones that are like square square triangle and it's easy but not enjoyful, I prefer towers of time bosses

Scorpion is almost pretty good in all postclassic MK games (MK9, MKX and MK11). But there are those characters, who were butchered really hard for example, Raiden. He was good in MK9, he was THE BEST AND AWESOME in MKX, but in MK11 they massacred him VEEEERY BAD. Raiden is still decent in MK11, but he is a mere shadow of former himself :(
@@jacko7013 I can't agree with you man, he was nightmare in MK9, especially with his full 50/50, which leads to his combos + ground unblockable fire 🔥 with little scaling as a finisher. 1) His meterless optimal combo 40%, one bar optimal - 45%, two bars optimal - 47%. 2) His optimal combo with X-Ray almost 50%, maybe it's not so big damage, but decent at least. Everything, what I've said above was his middle combos potential, now let's begin with his corner combos potential. 3) His corner combos are insane! Scorpion's one bar optimal corner combo deals 58% damage, two bars optimal - 64 % (and you can add here again his unblockable ground fire 🔥damage), there bars 67% damage. Scorpion is one of the strongest characters in MK9, I had been butchering most of my opponents online on ps3 in the past. The real pain in my butt were especially three characters: Kabal, Smoke and Ermac. That's why I disagree with you pal ;)
But, if we talk about Scorpion as whole character himself, I mean every aspects: speed, damage, comfortable gameplay mechanics, diversity in gameplay, then MKX version of Scorpion is the best even with his physique, shape with VERY BIG MUSCLES like TRUE GIGACHAD and design. But, if we talk about specifically about damage, the MK9 Scorpion is the most damaging character in comparison with MKX and MK11 versions.
The one thing I dislike about the last 2 games is that not having all the classic moves of the characters makes them feel a little less versatile. I get that is for balance reasons but sometimes you have to choose between 2 moves that you love and you can't have them both. Or some characters have some great ability but is so good that you can't combine it with others because it would be broken like with Geras.
yes that sounds so fun I get that is not competitive viable but for example in Pokemon, we had this tier called Uber where you can do whatever you want. It's broken and there is no way you make it fair but it balances itself good enough to be fun.
Whenever I would play against Kronika, I would try to use combos that end with a knockdown. She has to reform herself from sand, so she doesn't get a wakeup attack (at least on normal difficulty). As soon as she's up, use another knockdown. Rinse & repeat until the round is over
It's a lot easier with a character that has a good range uppercut or a powerful projectile. Geras, who doesn't have either and a lot of his special moves rely on grabbing the opponent and doing some damage then, really struggles with Kronika. Jade, who has good staff attacks like her back 2 and her back forward one, not to mention her uppercut which has the highest range the game, I believe, has an easier time with Kronika. Same with Baraka.

One thing I will say there's at least a learning curve for Scorpion in 9 and X. Playing Scorpion and actually being good with him was made alot easier in 11 Change my mind
13 matches lost in MK9? Man, I played the VH difficulty for fun and would usually lose once or twice depending if a particular character was cheap. Good times. But in 11? I honestly don't think I'm ready to go past medium. Especially because of how much of a cheap bitch Kronika is.
scorpion was my main in mkx ... if only u know how to run cancel u could get 44 percent 1 bar mid screen into reset or 50 percent 2 bars all that mid screen.
For me MKX scorpion is the better for moves,in MK11 the teleport cancel is fondamental if you want to be punish or use it perfectly,in one particular moment...for exemple when the challenger use distance attacks
MKX overall just has a better feel in terms pacing combat. Like the only person I could really play in MK11 was scarlet only because her pace felt on par with the game. Everyone else felt too slow or too fast.
I like this guy too, but I think his MK9 Scorpion combos aren't quite optimized (I play a LOT of MK9) and his mkx combos seem worse than like, Vman's. I don't play mkx so I might be biased and mk11 combos are good
Kronika is the most agonizing boss of any MK game... Let's just make a hard hitting boss ignore damage. Teleport without any meter... in fact fuck the meter just give her infinite abilities. Also an Aoe that reverses time, and an unlockable for those blockers.
