New mode: full shadow meters

Kinda a throwback to KI Gold, but how about make an option where you can play vs outside of practice where you can tweak options, such as keeping full shadow meters? Maybe allow options in lobbys or exibition matches. I mean obviously this wouldn’t be for competitive play, but it might make the game more fun for new players by giving more options & letting them pick some of their own rules.

I think this would work best in private-only lobbies or exhibition matches, where you’re likely to have the consent of all players involved. I feel like I’d be pretty angry if I ended up in a random Lobby or Exhibition room set up by someone else with these properties enabled if it wasn’t what I felt like playing.

I do like the idea, though, and there are probably a lot of ways it can go. Recharging Instinct, for example, or Instinct Full could get pretty ridiculous. It would break Jago, ARIA, Kan-Ra, Sadira, and a few others pretty badly!

So I can start a match with 20% health,infinite instinct,infinite shadow meter,and infinite ultras?

While I never really hear anyone else even talk about it, I LOVE Kustom Kombat mode in MKX. I love the panning lasers haha. Just adds another layer to the mind games.

I’m all for a mode with modifiers. Even something as simple as having ‘Health Regeneration’ on could be fun. It could get crazy in KI though, depending on the options. If there were infinite shadow meters, I’d get killed in one combo easily, since the KV meter wouldn’t be building and my only chance of breaking would be shadow breakers, which I suck at haha. The Shadow Moves could be chained endlessly.

So basically a broken Fulgore mode?

[/quote]Well, from a competitive standpoint it’d pretty much be a broken everything. But it would add a bit more variety to non-competitive gameplay.

[/quote]I agree…make it mutual consent amongst all players involved. It might be good to have special lobbies dedicated to a particular change, such as early Ultras (another KI Gold option…start an ultra any time on the red life bar), clearly labeled so you know what kind of lobby you’re walking into & perhaps searchable so you can find the variant you want.

When everyone is broken, no one is. But yes, I’d probably put a cooldown timer for certain moves so isn’t just Hype Beam every second.

Or, like every other MP game, make it it’s own game mode.

Already made a discussion about this using lobby mode it would give you options like full meter no meter refill meter for instinct regenerating instinct triple life as well Giving us more options as far as timing for lobbies and other things
