Ultra Breakers!

So you also want to add combo breakers and counter breakers to combos at the end of the first healthbar? It would break the game because it gives a possibility of the victor having their game stolen. Once an ultra is done,you lose. That is it. Anything afterwards is styli that the opponent earned because they won. Ultra breakers are like being able to reverse an Mk fatality as it is happening.

Again “stolen” is a strong word. You don’t have to give your opponent a chance to make a comeback. there are plenty of ways I listed how to make ending the game safe.

So it feels as if the underlying sentiment to the idea is:

“I want to be able to (possibly) punish people for doing long ultras.”

Would that be accurate?

That’s my take on it. It could be fun as a middle finger to someone on their third ultra (or to goad them into breaking you and then hitting them with the whole thing again :smiling_imp:)

But other than that not much point.

Yeah, but if that’s the case, then no one will ever, ever go beyond one ultra.

KI is enough of a mentally taxing game that once you’ve won, you’re not going to risk the win by trying to show off, especially when that showing off will get you absolutely zero benefit for the next match or beyond.

Which means that essentially, the suggestion here is “don’t allow more than one ultra ever”.

Careful, you seem to be “bull rushing in with negativity.” Your post will probably be ignored like the numerous other posts expressing any kind of actual dissent to the idea.

You can probably “move along” like the rest of us.

Lol there is nothing underlying about it. That is EXACLTY what it’s about. It’s simply an extension of the breaker system. There would be ways to counter people trying to break ultras and also just ways to make ultras safe.

Its basically if you wanna gloat and show off… Fine… But… If you do if let your guard down you might leave yourself open.

But Adam, think of the troll potential! :laughing:

But yes, to a certain extent I think TC’s point is if you want to style, you may as well take some risk to do it. I do think it’d be funny (didn’t actually know people still did triple ultras o_O), but other than that there’s not too much point.

Oh yeah they do! In exhibition almost every one i come across …if they win…they go for the 2x- 3x ultra…Im not sure sure why…seems they are ■■■■■■ off or just want to prove a point that they are better. I find it funny to be honest.
You can tell the really good players from the average players…the really good ones Ultra end and move along…the average gloat, tea bag and go for 3x ultra.

But in the suggestion, your only means of making an ultra safe is to only do one, right?

So why would you ever risk doing a second if you can lose the game because of it?

Please do not change the game to only 1 ultra because of salty ppl. Please…just leave it as is. I like doing 2x ultra to shadows and tea baggers!

I’d still double ultra the teabaggers. I’d do it just so they could break it, and then beat them and do it again. :smiling_imp:

I usually do a high ultra to celebrate winning what I consider to be a hard-fought match.

No, as we got more into it ultra breakers were introduced, guessing the wrong strength would lock the breaker out, going to ultra->instinct->ultra without using linkers, ending the ultra… Tons of solutions

They could spend that time & effort giving more options, like giving everyone Ultimates & new stage Ultras, instead of trying to reinvent the wheel by slashing the tires…

I would want more ultra and Ultimates added before this. Doesn’t mean I can’t put the idea out there.

and I’m not here like snapping my fingers saying “this has to be in this game immediately”

It’s just something to discuss the community is making it sound like I’m trying to tell the Dev’s This needs to be here immediately, no ,it’s something that I think should be looked into and could be added later

@TempusChaoti I think he mean as in classic KI 2 the possibility to break ultra before it going farther .““in the beginning when u have a Lil bit energy left and the opponent try to ultra u after one hit”” so it could be interesting to force people to fight till the last drop of blood otherwise try to give a counterbreak . But anyway it’s interesting . DON’T u think??? :face_blowing_a_kiss: :raising_hands:. Cause now what I do and some people’s do too that’s give the ultra at the first hit to ensure my win :sweat_smile: but if people’s could break me at this moment that’s too all nice.

and if u closely look at it that’s a opener ender to me lol

I think it could make more difference if the one who always in green life bar makes a ultimate to ensure the win in this case. Cause we could no break the ultimate. … :smiling_face_with_horns:

But when both are in the red life bar better give a chance to break that opener ender :innocent:

@TempusChaoti My vote is no on this. I cant believe it’s even been asked.
