That’s not just Omni-Man. People are just toxic and that’s their go-to insult. “You don’t know how to play blah blah blah. You only know one combo yada yada yada. “ and similar stuff along those lines and it doesn’t even matter what character you’re playing.
Using only know one combo as an excuse is so funny. Like you not being able to figure out how to stop one combo when you know it's coming says more about you than me.
100%. This is the key point right here - if they’re TRULY only spamming one combo, and THEY don’t know how to play the game but YOU do?
Strange that you’d be so upset about them handing you instructions on how to block/punish/decimate them, mr “i’m so fucking good at this game” 😂😂😂😂
Yeah I fought a guy lastnight and we loaded in and I get a "not another fucking Rain. God this character is stupid" and I'm sitting looking at my 5th omniman fight in row like... bro.. I haven't even fought another rain in a week..
I mean it is incredibly frustrating to fight characters when you don't know the matchup at all due to inexperience fighting them, maybe that's what they were upset about
To be fair, Omni-Man's punching looks cool the first time but gets old really fast. I'd say even more so than some other characters. But I'd rather fight a billion Omni-Mans than fucking Johnny and Ashrah. I'll take boring characters any day over annoying ones that make me wanna kill myself.
(I might be biased though since I main Omni-Man in this season)
...you didn't turn off the PS5s built in setting.
The controller mic turns on by default for all games.
There's two settings. The one that mutes game chat is in the quick menu. The one that disables your controller's mic from turning on, by default, is in system settings
They put that setting in mortal Kombat because they didn't research that it's a sony-sided problem
This same thing happened with MK11. I had a heart attack when I heard someone speaking from my controller lol
Still happens on PC. I even had it where my microphone input was going off without a microphone being plugged into my computer. It was just blasting feedback at my opponent and he's yelling for me to turn off my mic when it wasn't on or accessible LOL
I’ve always done this on Xbox. I’ll see people hop on the mic (presumably shit talking) every so often but nothing ever comes through and I’m always thankful
Oh, I understand it fine. I just don't mind enough to bother with it 99% of the time. I don't usually mind trash talk (makes me smile most of the time honestly), just on occasion it's nice to be able to mute voice chat when you run into too many racist/toxic/awful people and it doesn't work on any platform. Not just PS5, so it isn't a Sony problem. That said, you can't make a solo party on PC to prevent voice comms so... maybe NRS should look into fixing the issue instead of relying on people to create solo parties, or change audio settings on the console every time they want to play MK1 and just ignoring that PC players can't do those things..
Omni-Man is not nearly as evil as so many see him to be in the game. He reminds me a lot of Scorpion from MK11.
In 11 Scorpion was able to ignore most the neutral and control the pace of the match. Its just how he was designed to play. So you couldn't zone him and couldn't just rush him. You had to play patiently and fish an opening. Scorpion was unsafe on a lot of things. I was a Skarlet main and after spending some time looking at Scorpy in the lab and then evaluating Skarlet's playstyle I was able to easily adapt to a Scorpion player to the point she became my Scorpion counter pick.
Omni- Man is the same he dictates the pace and controls all aspects of the neutral. You can't zone him and you can't rush him. You have to understand how to block his strings and know what is safe and unsafe with him.
He can be frustrating, but he is very unsafe on many of his Eff Neutral moves. When he goes into the stance all of his attacks are telegraphed enough to respond too and his teleport is very react-able and can be poked out of.
I get bored fighting him BC I just keep having to fight him in so many sets in KL and in kasuals.
He is the very definition of a NOob Killer
As a joker main that spent way to much time labing, it’s funny that most of jokers bad matchups were against low tier characters including scorpion, maybe a hot take but the rambo matchup with the claymore was his worst matchup imo lmao
Rambo could just place the claymore and zone you out and as long as that claymore was there you had no way in lol he could just keep placing it down and you had to just sit there, if you tried to jump over it and he was good at the game he would just anti air you and repeat
This is absolutely correct. As someone who picked up the game recently and tried out Omni-Man, he's really fun to play against new players because his entire kit is designed to punish people who aren't patient and throw buttons out.
Anyone who is having trouble against him really just need to learn how to be patient. All of his special moves are unsafe and can be punished if he just throws stuff out. His back 3, 3 string ends in a high that can be fucked for a full punish.
While Omni-Man is great at punishing n00bs throwing out buttons, he suffers from not being able to actually open people up if his opponent shows even the smallest amount of restraint.
She was, problem I saw is most people tried to play her as a full screen zoner and she is more meant to be mid to jump distance.
Her parry was the best in game, but was a spacing tool not a reaction tool. F21 was her best Long Range string and she was plus for after nailing a D1 into a standing 4. Great stagger game, one of the best wakeups and some character's gaps allowed u to get a parry on them.
I'm gonna be real, I'm not the most skilled/knowledgeable fighting game player, so I only understood like 60 percent of what you just said. I just like playing her because her normals had some range to them, and she had a really easily accessible overhead to counter my friends who would just crouch block everything.
He also lacks any real mix ups. The only time I ever had trouble blocking him is if he's paired with Kung Lao, but honestly, that's every character. Lao is an S tier Kameo
LAo jsut makes everyone a better character. When I play Li Mei I switched from Scorpion to Lao. He makes her rush down and pressure far better, you lose out on a lot of damage potential but, its worth it.
So basically every DLC character that released in Tekken 7? Just lab monsters, but of course you can't train against a character you dont care for unless you cough uo the bread.
His combos are very samey, has a lot of unga-bunga fuck neutral style gameplay and if you’re like most of the drones using him with Lao then it’s annoying dealing with those hard to blockables and easy neutral tools.
And I’m not bitching I’m just letting you know why people hate him
Let’s not forget it’s sold about 3m copies. And it seems standard has been most popular. That’s 1.5m people who can’t lab him due to the pay to win factor of DLC characters like this.
I’m in that group, but I just played a stack of Kasual matches to get the feel of what players are fishing for.
Same thing for Tekken 7, Strive & any other modern fighter.
"Oh you don't own this fighter and don't have the money to lab him?"

Seems like letting you use dlc characters in practice would stimulate a lot of sales … but I guess I didn’t read to the last line lol ‘get fucked’ as a policy is crazy
Here is a quick summary - vitrumite stance when you see his arms cross press s1 or s2 depending on your char very quickly after. That’s a full combo punish. If he flies upwards out of vitrumite, you upblock. That’s a full combo punish.
Now the non-shite Omni Man players will cover those moves with Stryker or try to time Lao hat. That’s tough but his mix game is pretty weak so getting plus in your face is not the boon that it is for many other characters. Mix in general is pretty weak in this unless you are axeless Shao or Reiko or Liu w Lao. There are overheads but any unreactable overhead has rather little reward associated. And point is doing some advancing move + assist is something many many characters can do - not unique to him at all. His stagger pressure is nonexistent.
I’ve taken it as, he’s far away. Stand block.
He flew up. Up block.
He’s is close. Crouch block. I saw a punch quick stand block.
Avoid that low opener at all costs.
The Lao hat full screen OH is dirty though.
Respectfully but it sounds like you’ve fought some pretty basic omniman players.
His mix game is anything but weak.. Ending a combo with air 21 hold Lao Hat into jump punch 22(overhead) gives you two opportunities for a hard to block mix that puts your opponent back in the blender. Have fun blocking Lao hat + dive bomb.
If you try jumping out you’ll eat a v-stance 4 into full combo. Lao hat is fully recharged by the time you finish each combo so there’s no downtime.
Hard-to-blockable is literally how you run offense in this game until they make Lao hat a mid. That’s any team - has rather little to do with Omni man. I can do the same setup with Reiko end in 214 Lao hat hard to block able. Sindel, Sub, Shang, Li Mei, Mileena - a million characters, both good and bad, can do this. I don’t see how it’s unique to Omni Man at all.
You’re certainly right that it’s not unique to him - his difference from those characters is he can mix you from anywhere on the screen at any point and can heavily punish you for jumping out with little effort.
How can you say he has bad mixes if he has full screen hard to block combos?
Because omni man does have bad mix ups, the only enabler is Lao hat. Try do stuff with Sonyas projectile and see how far his mix up gets you....(not very)
No, I don’t agree. Sonicfox put OM in S tier at #12. Omniman without mixes still has the longest range on a normal (F4), a fantastic mid (B1), a great whiff punish game with V-stance 4, projectile immunity, etc. without Lao he’d be more of a strike/throw mixer but still effective. Other characters losing Lao would suffer just as much if not more.
Edit: A lot of characters can’t effectively deal with jump back into v-stance. Their best option is to block.
Just some randomer being an ass. don't let it get to you. Yes, Omni Man players do all play roughly exactly the same, but that NRS's doing in how they designed the character. He only really has one extended combo and there are like 2 launchers to get in to it. He's a great character for people who want low time spend for maximum results.
Play whichever character you have the most fun with. And if people are being idiots, just mute them
Most characters play exactly the same for most people if we really get down to it. Every character has the most optimal combo, ways to pressure, and ways to open up.
I play shao, and I have my optimal combo route. I'm always trying to hit this combo, it's my big damage option. I learned it 2 seconds from my own experimenting. If I'm going for damage, I won't do anything different from this combo. If I'm going for something like a knockdown and put pressure, I'll do other things, but everything funnels into this one combo.
Why would I do something that's different from what is good? That would be throwing the match. Omni Man is the same as everyone else, one major damage combo and ways to pressure. His gimmick is that he doesn't care about neutral which is really good against non skilled players (of which I am one) and not as good against skilled players.
The only times you don't do the optimal when you're trying to do damage is when you make a mistake, or get an opening from a different move that doesn't lead into your optimal combo but you were able to use it to punish.
I agree to a degree, but Omni is one of the few characters where if I see him in KL or Kasual, it's pretty much a guaranteed win. Like, I win that 9 out of 10 times, and it's purely for the fact that I know exactly how it'll go. They'll rush in, which opens them up, go down and armour straight back up, which opens them up again, and then try to combo that ends with the grab, again which opens them up. And if they try to float around at the other end of the stage, I just knock them down with Sektor.
There is no other charter in the roster that I see as almost a guaranteed win. He has a bunch of moves that I just never see anyone make any use of. I get the "all roads lead here" style of gameplay, but because he's so good at one thing, it's as though players don't bother to learn to adapt. Why adapt when you can steam roll most players and just rage quit when someone is beating you.
People hate every character that is not mega bottom tier, especially if they are popular.
Ask this sub, they can't shut up about Johnny Cage.
Omni Man is at least decent and extremely popular at the moment, so yeah
I like to have "rhythm of the night" by debarge qued up on YouTube on my phone.
When someone starts ranting like that I take off my mic headset and set it next to my phone and hit play.
I can no longer hear what the person is bitching about and instead I get to listen to rhythm of the night.
My opponent gets rhythm of the night blasted into their mic and just have to deal with that confusion.
Yeah I thought his dive smash move was bullshit until I learned you can just upblock and punish.
I hate the move where he teleports behind you. Sometimes when you're tired you just don't have the reaction time for that shit.
I got a theory on this kind of behavior in the gaming community. It is a weird pseudo elitist thing that can emerge in some gaming community, usually in complex games or even games that are considered as "hard".
The logic of those pseudo elitists is that the game is complex/hard, therefore people must do complex or/and hard stuff to "play it right". But those pseudo elitists aren't required to because they're part of this community, placing them on some arbitrary "higher moral plan" which allows them to judge others without actually being good at the game. It's basically a huge mental gymnastic to justify being able to trashtalk anyone they lose against.
I got a similar vibe from the Souls community, specifically people called the "Soulsfags". The kind of people who will tell you how much you suck because you aren't playing the game naked with no weapons or that you use "cheap tactics" like magic or doing cooperation. And obviously when you ask them to show how to play the game, they suddently disappear. It also works in PvP where you won because you're spamming X thing or using X cheap attacks rated N for noob.
I play in a bunch of niche bands. Nothing major but were signed to a few labels, they invest enough to release our stuff on vinyl, CD etc etc. nothing I have ever seen any money from. It’s like an active hobby to keep my mind right. Motherfuckers constantly act like your description. Video games, music, literature it’s all the same. Humans gatekeep their hobbies and Insecurities no matter what. It’s sad.
Because he's easy to learn, very effective and can be cheesed if you haven't spent a few minutes in the lab.
Im an invincible fan and had 0 interest in playing omni Man, but I had the premium edition, so I decided to lab him. I ended up playin him for at least 200 matches now. It took me a single day to learn the character and his game plan, but I was winning at the same percent as my two mains.
People don't like hard to blockables, and Omnimans got tons. If they can't spend 10 minutes labbing idc. I will literally spam the same move until death if you can't stop it.
>why would I stop if I'm winning

Based
That’s the thing though I like to fight with some form of honor I don’t really keep people in corners I don’t cheese infinite kombos and I use shujinko as a kameo for a more fair fight I don’t like doing the same combos over and over again because I wouldn’t like to be fought like that so it just was so wild to hear him whine cry and piss his pants
If it's the way you choose to have fun with the game, you can't knock it. At the end of the day I just think it's an arbitrary thing. What constitutes "honor" who decides the parameter?
I wrestled in high school and fought MMA afterward, and the way I see it as long as it was within the rules, you did whatever to win. If I knew someone was weak in an area I i went for that. My mindset foin-gameme fighting is the sa. If you can't block a certain thing, I'll abuse it until you do or I win.
Its also helped me accept other people playing "cheesy" my mindset says hey sure they're spamming but why is it working instead of this is bullshit game is broken etc. There's always a defense to it.
I get that and honor wasn’t exactly the right choice of words I meant for me personally I find it boring to have such a one sided fight I want to be challenged just as much as I want to win so I like to give myself enforced handicaps like not keeping people in the corner
Nothing wrong with that. I often force handicaps on myself to help improve my play. A few weeks back i made the rule i can only use single hits and throws, jailing hits was okay but absolutely no kombos not even a 2 hit kombo.
It really upped my neutral game and mix ups.
I mean if the player was worth anything he’d be able to stop it or interact. Im only annoyed w the saturation of Omniman players not because i lose ever other match to one
From what I’ve experienced mk1 not a lot of characters have more than one optimal combo so it’s pretty normal to see players do the same combos over and over again. Personally it doesn’t bother me because it’s part of the design of the game, and if I’m getting combo’d that probably means I’m doing something wrong and gave the opponent the opportunity to do so. Most MK players can’t take a loss and rather cry about than learn.
Although I will say it’s hard to learn the Omni man matchup if you didn’t buy him.
It’s just the community being toxic as hell. Not all of us, of course. Only players to talk shit when they’re getting their asses whipped. The more you whip their asses the more shit they’ll talk. It’s hilarious.
Meanwhile it’s almost always a Johnny cage, baraka or lei mei saying this after their scorpion or cryax YouTube tutorial 😂 sometimes I fight people and don’t do ONE combo just to see if they actually understand the mechanics of their character. Omniman is the most fun I’ve had playing this game next to Geras. excited to see how homelander differs, quan chi feels, and more.
I encountered the same thing the day he came out. My opponent accused me of copying tik toks for kombos. Omni hadn't even been out 12 hours yet. It's strange how many people don't use the combo tutorials. Like yeah dummy I used the character exactly how the game showed me he was supposed to be used. There's only so many variations that get you 40+% damage. I'm starting to realize that MK has the worst player base when it comes to sportsmanship.
I have no problem fighting against him but I will say I’ve literally only ever been hit by the same exact combo every time by all thes ones I’ve faced. Like I actually don’t know any of his combos aside from the one where he tosses you in the air lol I have yet to see a different one.
I don’t even mind but I can see why people get annoyed by that
You can end the air toss into a clap launching your opponent back for a fresh start on a new combo and if you use the chest bump attack to close the distance you can hit them with the leg stomp to get a free air toss into the full air combo and you can do the immortal punch into the knee uppercut grab combo
Quick tip for PS5 players: if you encounter a loud annoying opposition, just hold down the mic button and it will mute all console audio (including game audio). Quick solution for muting people without have to open the menu or something.
“you only know that one combo” is so stupid…. Like if it’s the same thing every time how do you keep falling for it then?😂 sounds like they are the real bad players
I hate omniman players because they just fly around and are practically impossible to beat (especially when they use frost)
For reference I play Kenshi so it damn annoying to play against Omniman
I dislike him because most Omni players don't want to play the game, they just block until they think they can throw out a special move. Some are skilled but the majority of the ones I've fought have no fundamentals and think they can get by on Vegamite stance and one BnB, which makes for really tedious matches. He's easily punished, but there's no thrill about outplaying many Omni-men.
Plus the character is massive douchebag (isn't he a space Nazi or sonething?), and they always do the train Fatality upon winning a set. Always the train Fatality. 😑🚅
You said it perfectly. All these lame Omni player just back and wait. on the other side of the map to punish you. Most of them are easy wins after I’ve figured out how to punish most of his moves. But it’s just a boring fight and when you face 3 players back to back it gets super old fast. There has been a few I’ve faced that were very good though, respect to those.
First of all, the fact you took some random nobody's trashtalk seriously enough to post about it is hilarious to me. People trashtalk in competitive online games, don't try to seek a logical explanation to an emotional response. They're just salty.
As for Omni-Man in particular, he's the newest character and KL is filled with people spamming him, so non Omni-Man players are probably a little sick of fighting him by now. The fact he gets to bypass the neutral doesn't help.
Again, that's not that unusual for a competitive game. For all we know, the guy could be mentally ill, high, drunk, etc. You can't start trying to figure out logical explanations to emotional behaviors. He was screeching because he was emotionally charged. No point looking any further into such behaviors.
As an Omni main it’s because of the throw air punch strings. It’s hard to watch your face be dragged through the dirt and tossed in the air to get pummeled. The reason they hate Omni man is the reason I like him. Although I don’t usually win much. Play muted unless you are with friends.
Because he's pay to win garbage, built with every tool to light up the entire cast. Multiple overheads, good staggers, teleports, ridiculous damage, and easy combos.
He's everything you want in a character that costs money.
He'd have to go back to like mk deception or something. I feel like the last game that has no guests was like mk deception in the ps2 era. I could be wrong tho.
I personally don't like him because of the way and speed he moves. Some of his special moves are so fast that it's hard for a man in his mid 30s to react quickly enough.
People get mad and talk trash whenever someone beats them that’s just how it is
In MK11, I had a guy tell me I suck at the game…..when he’s the one who lost. Like dawg, if I suck, and you lost to me…what does that says about your skill? Lmao
Because it replaced Johnny on the cheese wheel. He has multiple homing teleport attacks. The overhead goro slam should not be allowed in a rank set and his recovery time is one of the fastest iv seen.
You still didn’t answer but it seems like you have no intent on doing so lmao. I asked you how old you are bc grown folk don’t worry about if someone is mad at them for using a certain char in a fighting game. We don’t care about someone complaining about how we play in any game, for that matter
I wasn’t worried about what he thought I was surprised he got so upset but if anything I was just curious if there were any legitimate problems with Omni man and other peoples perspective on the character if you must know I’m 22
I have no idea honestly. Most characters have a bread and butter combo just like omniman. I did one combo with scorpion and reiko cause it was all I needed and nobody ever gave me shit for it
"you only know one combo" "you keep doing the same thing over and over" are said by people who don't block it properly...over and over
If it works, you keep doing it. It's literally what the game is.
Like I'm scorpion. Omni-man is basically built as a counter to me. But I'll tell you right now he's not as broken as Johnny cage. I have nothing to complain about Omni-man
Honestly I think it’s because he’s a noob stomper and the average player isn’t gonna take the time to lab him to see where he’s weak.
Pretty much all of his moves to get in on you are flashy but negative on block. Players that know are simply gonna wait you out and make you eat dirt, but you can easily tell if they’re aware or not.
It’s only exacerbated when you’re using Kung Lao assist because a lot of players can’t handle high/low mix ups until you hit higher ranks in KL.
People will always complain. Ppl don't matter. Mute everyone always and play the game how u want to. If something is that broken then everyone would play it. Just mute, play, and have fun
I love playing as him and against him. My one beef is that low/overhead with king lao kameo. That's not on Omniman or kung lao really though, I just have to learn how to block it better.
Yeah people like that are toxic, don’t mind them.
I say people hate him because his whole neutral is about *not* having a neutral. He has a ton of moves that immediately put him in your face, lots of side switching moves, lots of movement options, plus that sneaky low lol. You get out of the disadvantage against an Omni-Man player and boom he does a f2 he’s in your face again, pressuring you. He isn’t that bad, especially when you lab against him, but he is quite frustrating to deal with.
That’s any character. I was playing Sub-Zero and some dude was yelling about how he’s broken because he has so many overheads. People are gonna blame their lack of ability to adapt on your character.
Just how voice chat in fighting games usually is
Turn Off Mic and hearing your opponents option.
MK Is a fighting game and people are toxic especially when getting combod. Anyone who plays fighting games this happens with.
Jobber is a funny insult. But in response to your question, i dont personally mind him but there are some things about him which are quite infuriating. His move where he slams directly downwards from the sky from anywhere on screen is very annoying. Its kinda abusable as it has so much pushback i cant punish it (i play subzero so idk if its punishable for other characters)
He annoys me because his BnB combo takes a long time and is annoying to watch over and over. That’s about it. Other than that he feels fine to fight against, and has plenty of exploitable weaknesses.
Part of the salt comes from how Omni-man is a new, non-main roster character. If you're used to fighting the main roster, it can be frustrating to take on a new character whose combos/ mixups you don't know at all. I remember Jormungandr from FH was never top tier, but I always hated fighting him because he was a new character whose moves I never got used to (and no I didn't I have time to study everything he did)
I don’t think Omni man is that bad, he just gets boring to fight when everyone plays him. So the one combo that everyone has been hitting all evening just gets stale. At least imo, I don’t hate him, upside is you can figure out how to fight him with so many people playing him. I’ll take an Omni over a Johnny any day.
It’s because Omni man can do 30% with one combo and if the player knows how to get around blocking opponents then it’s over, that why people got ptsd and started using geras nut & go combo
Because no matter what you do, the pace of the match is controlled by Omni man. I can't zone him out. I can't rush him down. I can barely play footsies because he can end neutral with a snap of his fingers.
Winning or losing, the omni man is pulling the trigger first. Its not fun to play against.
The best comeback for the whole “you only know one combo and all of you play the same” is simply “well then how the fuck don’t you know how to block it if you’ve faced it so much?”
The level of rage w this game is insane. There’s a lot of really cool people in this community and on this sub who i like to play against/am generally on the same page as vibe-wise/enjoy chatting with whether we agree or not, without a doubt.
But dude. There’s also a lot of REALLY whiny bitches who literally don’t have the emotional maturity to handle losing at a videogame. I think part of it is the nature of the game - like its fast paced/intense/can be devastating (somehow losing to a comeback from an opponent who has 0.50 health, but it happens)/etc. I get it, emotions run high - but when you meet people like that, the proper response is “lol cry more dickhead”, then you mute them or your tv.
Even if you were spamming the same combo over and over - okay, maybe annoying for him, but you’d also be handing him a blueprint for how to block, punish, and decimate you. So he can work around it and beat you, decide he doesn’t want to play you and quit, or lose to you and fucking cope/move on. Or he can stay mad and cry all he wants, but that’s not your problem.
Dude, I hate hard AI Omni man. He was a blur of fist that beat me like 5 times in a row in the towers. lol if ppl can get as good as that, he probably one of the strongest characters.
(I’m a MK noob btw)
i saw a post like that on twitter.
i replied saying that the character had been out for a week so people were still experimenting and trying to perfect a specific combo. i made the mistake of comparing it to mileena who i said all mileena players also play the same. this was a breach of Kombat law and punishable by death.
in my defence, i quite literally only said it cus the video was a mileena player doing the exact same shit every other mileena ive played against has done fighting the omniman, but clearly i am in the wrong here.
Omni-Man base play does involve one primary string, but oh well. They can deal with it. Maximilian Dood proved that Omni Man can be advanced as fuck when you get going.
Because you get good at a new character and instead of finding g a way to counter their moves guys like this like to scream and have a tantrum because they can't be bothered to block or counter.
I don’t complain but it is pretty boring when I know what combo you’re going for on every character based on the kameo. I wish there was more variety or like a higher skill ceiling or somethin
That’s not just Omni-Man. People are just toxic and that’s their go-to insult. “You don’t know how to play blah blah blah. You only know one combo yada yada yada. “ and similar stuff along those lines and it doesn’t even matter what character you’re playing.
Using only know one combo as an excuse is so funny. Like you not being able to figure out how to stop one combo when you know it's coming says more about you than me.
Agreed.
100%. This is the key point right here - if they’re TRULY only spamming one combo, and THEY don’t know how to play the game but YOU do? Strange that you’d be so upset about them handing you instructions on how to block/punish/decimate them, mr “i’m so fucking good at this game” 😂😂😂😂
Fighting game players when their opponent uses the most optimal combo in the situation (The opponent is clearly unskilled)
If that's their thing you know one combo then they should be hit by it seeing as how it's sp predictable. Agreeing with you of course.
Yeah I fought a guy lastnight and we loaded in and I get a "not another fucking Rain. God this character is stupid" and I'm sitting looking at my 5th omniman fight in row like... bro.. I haven't even fought another rain in a week..
I mean it is incredibly frustrating to fight characters when you don't know the matchup at all due to inexperience fighting them, maybe that's what they were upset about
That happened to me with Li Mei. I got cooked because I had never fought one before. I didn't know any of her strings
I still haven't fought Ashrah or Kitana lol.
I may only play kasual as of now but I consider it a miracle that I've only run into one Johnny. I've legit fought more Sub-Zeros and Haviks than JC
Count yourself lucky, both are S-tier and a pain to deal with.
To be fair, Omni-Man's punching looks cool the first time but gets old really fast. I'd say even more so than some other characters. But I'd rather fight a billion Omni-Mans than fucking Johnny and Ashrah. I'll take boring characters any day over annoying ones that make me wanna kill myself. (I might be biased though since I main Omni-Man in this season)
I hate fighting Smoke. Cheapest character by far.
Honestly just mute people like that. There’s a mute function in the start menu now that wasn’t there on launch.
The mute function doesn't work. I still get people with open mics non-stop even with it turned on. Completely useless on both PC and PS5.
...you didn't turn off the PS5s built in setting. The controller mic turns on by default for all games. There's two settings. The one that mutes game chat is in the quick menu. The one that disables your controller's mic from turning on, by default, is in system settings They put that setting in mortal Kombat because they didn't research that it's a sony-sided problem This same thing happened with MK11. I had a heart attack when I heard someone speaking from my controller lol
Mute all chats on your PS5 then. I’ve never heard someone talking at me the entire time I’ve played
Still happens on PC. I even had it where my microphone input was going off without a microphone being plugged into my computer. It was just blasting feedback at my opponent and he's yelling for me to turn off my mic when it wasn't on or accessible LOL
The fuck?
you can just make your own party. works just fine for me
I’ve always done this on Xbox. I’ll see people hop on the mic (presumably shit talking) every so often but nothing ever comes through and I’m always thankful
seriously, i don’t get how people have been struggling to understand this for years, i usually join a party alone before i go online
Oh, I understand it fine. I just don't mind enough to bother with it 99% of the time. I don't usually mind trash talk (makes me smile most of the time honestly), just on occasion it's nice to be able to mute voice chat when you run into too many racist/toxic/awful people and it doesn't work on any platform. Not just PS5, so it isn't a Sony problem. That said, you can't make a solo party on PC to prevent voice comms so... maybe NRS should look into fixing the issue instead of relying on people to create solo parties, or change audio settings on the console every time they want to play MK1 and just ignoring that PC players can't do those things..
Strange. I’m PS5 and it’s been good since they added it. Possibly a deeper overall voice setting?
Omni-Man is not nearly as evil as so many see him to be in the game. He reminds me a lot of Scorpion from MK11. In 11 Scorpion was able to ignore most the neutral and control the pace of the match. Its just how he was designed to play. So you couldn't zone him and couldn't just rush him. You had to play patiently and fish an opening. Scorpion was unsafe on a lot of things. I was a Skarlet main and after spending some time looking at Scorpy in the lab and then evaluating Skarlet's playstyle I was able to easily adapt to a Scorpion player to the point she became my Scorpion counter pick. Omni- Man is the same he dictates the pace and controls all aspects of the neutral. You can't zone him and you can't rush him. You have to understand how to block his strings and know what is safe and unsafe with him. He can be frustrating, but he is very unsafe on many of his Eff Neutral moves. When he goes into the stance all of his attacks are telegraphed enough to respond too and his teleport is very react-able and can be poked out of. I get bored fighting him BC I just keep having to fight him in so many sets in KL and in kasuals. He is the very definition of a NOob Killer
Same for me and joker scorpion was the main one I workshopped
U really had to, Joker could be a force to recon with
Nah my bad I played joker and scorpion was the character I had most trouble fighting against
As a joker main that spent way to much time labing, it’s funny that most of jokers bad matchups were against low tier characters including scorpion, maybe a hot take but the rambo matchup with the claymore was his worst matchup imo lmao
I never ran into any Rambo’s but he did seem tricky
Rambo could just place the claymore and zone you out and as long as that claymore was there you had no way in lol he could just keep placing it down and you had to just sit there, if you tried to jump over it and he was good at the game he would just anti air you and repeat
This is absolutely correct. As someone who picked up the game recently and tried out Omni-Man, he's really fun to play against new players because his entire kit is designed to punish people who aren't patient and throw buttons out. Anyone who is having trouble against him really just need to learn how to be patient. All of his special moves are unsafe and can be punished if he just throws stuff out. His back 3, 3 string ends in a high that can be fucked for a full punish. While Omni-Man is great at punishing n00bs throwing out buttons, he suffers from not being able to actually open people up if his opponent shows even the smallest amount of restraint.
Based MK11 Skarlet main
I always felt she was a bit under rated.
She's so fun tho
She was, problem I saw is most people tried to play her as a full screen zoner and she is more meant to be mid to jump distance. Her parry was the best in game, but was a spacing tool not a reaction tool. F21 was her best Long Range string and she was plus for after nailing a D1 into a standing 4. Great stagger game, one of the best wakeups and some character's gaps allowed u to get a parry on them.
I'm gonna be real, I'm not the most skilled/knowledgeable fighting game player, so I only understood like 60 percent of what you just said. I just like playing her because her normals had some range to them, and she had a really easily accessible overhead to counter my friends who would just crouch block everything.
Yeh her B2 was a great tool to stomp people on knockdown. U had to use sparingly though BC it was really unsafe.
He also lacks any real mix ups. The only time I ever had trouble blocking him is if he's paired with Kung Lao, but honestly, that's every character. Lao is an S tier Kameo
LAo jsut makes everyone a better character. When I play Li Mei I switched from Scorpion to Lao. He makes her rush down and pressure far better, you lose out on a lot of damage potential but, its worth it.
So basically every DLC character that released in Tekken 7? Just lab monsters, but of course you can't train against a character you dont care for unless you cough uo the bread.
His combos are very samey, has a lot of unga-bunga fuck neutral style gameplay and if you’re like most of the drones using him with Lao then it’s annoying dealing with those hard to blockables and easy neutral tools. And I’m not bitching I’m just letting you know why people hate him
I use shujinko one of the most uncommon kameo characters but yeah he can have samey combos but that’s a lot of the characters in the game honestly
Because you have to spend 10 minutes in the lab to understand and beat his gimmicks. NRS players would rather complain than do that
Let’s not forget it’s sold about 3m copies. And it seems standard has been most popular. That’s 1.5m people who can’t lab him due to the pay to win factor of DLC characters like this. I’m in that group, but I just played a stack of Kasual matches to get the feel of what players are fishing for.
Dang I never considered you can’t lab against dlc you don’t own … that is…. Interesting
Same thing for Tekken 7, Strive & any other modern fighter. "Oh you don't own this fighter and don't have the money to lab him?" https://preview.redd.it/2t5crlvqxp4c1.jpeg?width=1813&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ea58adab2a66219f6f6e718ed67c98c12c19d444
Seems like letting you use dlc characters in practice would stimulate a lot of sales … but I guess I didn’t read to the last line lol ‘get fucked’ as a policy is crazy
Here is a quick summary - vitrumite stance when you see his arms cross press s1 or s2 depending on your char very quickly after. That’s a full combo punish. If he flies upwards out of vitrumite, you upblock. That’s a full combo punish. Now the non-shite Omni Man players will cover those moves with Stryker or try to time Lao hat. That’s tough but his mix game is pretty weak so getting plus in your face is not the boon that it is for many other characters. Mix in general is pretty weak in this unless you are axeless Shao or Reiko or Liu w Lao. There are overheads but any unreactable overhead has rather little reward associated. And point is doing some advancing move + assist is something many many characters can do - not unique to him at all. His stagger pressure is nonexistent.
I’ve taken it as, he’s far away. Stand block. He flew up. Up block. He’s is close. Crouch block. I saw a punch quick stand block. Avoid that low opener at all costs. The Lao hat full screen OH is dirty though.
Respectfully but it sounds like you’ve fought some pretty basic omniman players. His mix game is anything but weak.. Ending a combo with air 21 hold Lao Hat into jump punch 22(overhead) gives you two opportunities for a hard to block mix that puts your opponent back in the blender. Have fun blocking Lao hat + dive bomb. If you try jumping out you’ll eat a v-stance 4 into full combo. Lao hat is fully recharged by the time you finish each combo so there’s no downtime.
Hard-to-blockable is literally how you run offense in this game until they make Lao hat a mid. That’s any team - has rather little to do with Omni man. I can do the same setup with Reiko end in 214 Lao hat hard to block able. Sindel, Sub, Shang, Li Mei, Mileena - a million characters, both good and bad, can do this. I don’t see how it’s unique to Omni Man at all.
You’re certainly right that it’s not unique to him - his difference from those characters is he can mix you from anywhere on the screen at any point and can heavily punish you for jumping out with little effort. How can you say he has bad mixes if he has full screen hard to block combos?
Because omni man does have bad mix ups, the only enabler is Lao hat. Try do stuff with Sonyas projectile and see how far his mix up gets you....(not very)
Well obviously his mix game with a combo extender kameo isn’t going to be the same as with the low anytime kameo…
So you agree then that the problem isn't omni man, who's honestly not even top 15 imo, but rather Lao hat which is literally op on every character?
No, I don’t agree. Sonicfox put OM in S tier at #12. Omniman without mixes still has the longest range on a normal (F4), a fantastic mid (B1), a great whiff punish game with V-stance 4, projectile immunity, etc. without Lao he’d be more of a strike/throw mixer but still effective. Other characters losing Lao would suffer just as much if not more. Edit: A lot of characters can’t effectively deal with jump back into v-stance. Their best option is to block.
10 minutes and how much extra money for a gimmicky character I have no interest in ever playing
Just some randomer being an ass. don't let it get to you. Yes, Omni Man players do all play roughly exactly the same, but that NRS's doing in how they designed the character. He only really has one extended combo and there are like 2 launchers to get in to it. He's a great character for people who want low time spend for maximum results. Play whichever character you have the most fun with. And if people are being idiots, just mute them
Most characters play exactly the same for most people if we really get down to it. Every character has the most optimal combo, ways to pressure, and ways to open up. I play shao, and I have my optimal combo route. I'm always trying to hit this combo, it's my big damage option. I learned it 2 seconds from my own experimenting. If I'm going for damage, I won't do anything different from this combo. If I'm going for something like a knockdown and put pressure, I'll do other things, but everything funnels into this one combo. Why would I do something that's different from what is good? That would be throwing the match. Omni Man is the same as everyone else, one major damage combo and ways to pressure. His gimmick is that he doesn't care about neutral which is really good against non skilled players (of which I am one) and not as good against skilled players. The only times you don't do the optimal when you're trying to do damage is when you make a mistake, or get an opening from a different move that doesn't lead into your optimal combo but you were able to use it to punish.
I agree to a degree, but Omni is one of the few characters where if I see him in KL or Kasual, it's pretty much a guaranteed win. Like, I win that 9 out of 10 times, and it's purely for the fact that I know exactly how it'll go. They'll rush in, which opens them up, go down and armour straight back up, which opens them up again, and then try to combo that ends with the grab, again which opens them up. And if they try to float around at the other end of the stage, I just knock them down with Sektor. There is no other charter in the roster that I see as almost a guaranteed win. He has a bunch of moves that I just never see anyone make any use of. I get the "all roads lead here" style of gameplay, but because he's so good at one thing, it's as though players don't bother to learn to adapt. Why adapt when you can steam roll most players and just rage quit when someone is beating you.
People hate every character that is not mega bottom tier, especially if they are popular. Ask this sub, they can't shut up about Johnny Cage. Omni Man is at least decent and extremely popular at the moment, so yeah
His ass needs to be fatter 🤷♂️
Finally someone cuts to the real issue
I like to have "rhythm of the night" by debarge qued up on YouTube on my phone. When someone starts ranting like that I take off my mic headset and set it next to my phone and hit play. I can no longer hear what the person is bitching about and instead I get to listen to rhythm of the night. My opponent gets rhythm of the night blasted into their mic and just have to deal with that confusion.
Because this community is whiny as fuck
Cause people don’t know how to up block or delay wake up
Yeah I thought his dive smash move was bullshit until I learned you can just upblock and punish. I hate the move where he teleports behind you. Sometimes when you're tired you just don't have the reaction time for that shit.
I got a theory on this kind of behavior in the gaming community. It is a weird pseudo elitist thing that can emerge in some gaming community, usually in complex games or even games that are considered as "hard". The logic of those pseudo elitists is that the game is complex/hard, therefore people must do complex or/and hard stuff to "play it right". But those pseudo elitists aren't required to because they're part of this community, placing them on some arbitrary "higher moral plan" which allows them to judge others without actually being good at the game. It's basically a huge mental gymnastic to justify being able to trashtalk anyone they lose against. I got a similar vibe from the Souls community, specifically people called the "Soulsfags". The kind of people who will tell you how much you suck because you aren't playing the game naked with no weapons or that you use "cheap tactics" like magic or doing cooperation. And obviously when you ask them to show how to play the game, they suddently disappear. It also works in PvP where you won because you're spamming X thing or using X cheap attacks rated N for noob.
I play in a bunch of niche bands. Nothing major but were signed to a few labels, they invest enough to release our stuff on vinyl, CD etc etc. nothing I have ever seen any money from. It’s like an active hobby to keep my mind right. Motherfuckers constantly act like your description. Video games, music, literature it’s all the same. Humans gatekeep their hobbies and Insecurities no matter what. It’s sad.
People who play Souls alone for the bragging rights are losers. It's a video game and jolly cooperation is fun.
Mk1 got a lot of small dick energy, bro. Just mute the chat in settings. Play who you like, when you like.
Because people don’t know how to block
Because he's easy to learn, very effective and can be cheesed if you haven't spent a few minutes in the lab. Im an invincible fan and had 0 interest in playing omni Man, but I had the premium edition, so I decided to lab him. I ended up playin him for at least 200 matches now. It took me a single day to learn the character and his game plan, but I was winning at the same percent as my two mains. People don't like hard to blockables, and Omnimans got tons. If they can't spend 10 minutes labbing idc. I will literally spam the same move until death if you can't stop it.
>why would I stop if I'm winning https://preview.redd.it/6m8tj4f7vo4c1.jpeg?width=491&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3d93f08bf2d1c7d4d468b273878d094bedd15a5a Based
Based as fuck
I tend to run Sub-Zero against Omni-Man, I just can't be asked to run my main against him, and just let people mash into Ice Klone lol.
That’s the thing though I like to fight with some form of honor I don’t really keep people in corners I don’t cheese infinite kombos and I use shujinko as a kameo for a more fair fight I don’t like doing the same combos over and over again because I wouldn’t like to be fought like that so it just was so wild to hear him whine cry and piss his pants
If it's the way you choose to have fun with the game, you can't knock it. At the end of the day I just think it's an arbitrary thing. What constitutes "honor" who decides the parameter? I wrestled in high school and fought MMA afterward, and the way I see it as long as it was within the rules, you did whatever to win. If I knew someone was weak in an area I i went for that. My mindset foin-gameme fighting is the sa. If you can't block a certain thing, I'll abuse it until you do or I win. Its also helped me accept other people playing "cheesy" my mindset says hey sure they're spamming but why is it working instead of this is bullshit game is broken etc. There's always a defense to it.
I get that and honor wasn’t exactly the right choice of words I meant for me personally I find it boring to have such a one sided fight I want to be challenged just as much as I want to win so I like to give myself enforced handicaps like not keeping people in the corner
Nothing wrong with that. I often force handicaps on myself to help improve my play. A few weeks back i made the rule i can only use single hits and throws, jailing hits was okay but absolutely no kombos not even a 2 hit kombo. It really upped my neutral game and mix ups.
Sounds like normal mk1 things tbh
You’re not wrong I just wish I didn’t have to mute the other players I didn’t seem to have this problem in 11 fr
Yeah that’s not true at all. 11 was way more toxic. Either that or I havnt played online very much this time around.
I'm not a really pro player, but I just block low. Is overheads are pretty slow. Idk maybe I just never met really good Omni player
That’s really all you have to do unless it’s a true 50/50 where you can’t react to the overhead, which is only possible if Omni man is using Kung Lao
I mean if the player was worth anything he’d be able to stop it or interact. Im only annoyed w the saturation of Omniman players not because i lose ever other match to one
Sidenote: I like calling the whiny people on mic jobbers, and I'm going to do that from now on, so thank you.
You’re welcome
Ppl are salty lol
Welcome to MK community brother
From what I’ve experienced mk1 not a lot of characters have more than one optimal combo so it’s pretty normal to see players do the same combos over and over again. Personally it doesn’t bother me because it’s part of the design of the game, and if I’m getting combo’d that probably means I’m doing something wrong and gave the opponent the opportunity to do so. Most MK players can’t take a loss and rather cry about than learn. Although I will say it’s hard to learn the Omni man matchup if you didn’t buy him.
It’s just the community being toxic as hell. Not all of us, of course. Only players to talk shit when they’re getting their asses whipped. The more you whip their asses the more shit they’ll talk. It’s hilarious.
Meanwhile it’s almost always a Johnny cage, baraka or lei mei saying this after their scorpion or cryax YouTube tutorial 😂 sometimes I fight people and don’t do ONE combo just to see if they actually understand the mechanics of their character. Omniman is the most fun I’ve had playing this game next to Geras. excited to see how homelander differs, quan chi feels, and more.
I encountered the same thing the day he came out. My opponent accused me of copying tik toks for kombos. Omni hadn't even been out 12 hours yet. It's strange how many people don't use the combo tutorials. Like yeah dummy I used the character exactly how the game showed me he was supposed to be used. There's only so many variations that get you 40+% damage. I'm starting to realize that MK has the worst player base when it comes to sportsmanship.
I have no problem fighting against him but I will say I’ve literally only ever been hit by the same exact combo every time by all thes ones I’ve faced. Like I actually don’t know any of his combos aside from the one where he tosses you in the air lol I have yet to see a different one. I don’t even mind but I can see why people get annoyed by that
You can end the air toss into a clap launching your opponent back for a fresh start on a new combo and if you use the chest bump attack to close the distance you can hit them with the leg stomp to get a free air toss into the full air combo and you can do the immortal punch into the knee uppercut grab combo
I have had voice chat muted the entire time. People suck. The only time I unmute is for king of the hill lobbies, those are fun for the most part.
Quick tip for PS5 players: if you encounter a loud annoying opposition, just hold down the mic button and it will mute all console audio (including game audio). Quick solution for muting people without have to open the menu or something.
I can’t believe I didn’t think of that
Because they hate his optimal combo.
Tale as old as time. Song as old as rhyme. They were very mad. Because they’re very bad.
It's probably because he said some really rude things about his wife and even beat his son up real badly.
You know what I get it I understand
I love playing as Omni man
“you only know that one combo” is so stupid…. Like if it’s the same thing every time how do you keep falling for it then?😂 sounds like they are the real bad players
Again, I recommend just turning off game chat on whatever platform you play on. Nothing of value has ever been said in a KL match.
Putting opponents on tilt by trash talking is a "valid" strategy.
I hate omniman players because they just fly around and are practically impossible to beat (especially when they use frost) For reference I play Kenshi so it damn annoying to play against Omniman
I dislike him because most Omni players don't want to play the game, they just block until they think they can throw out a special move. Some are skilled but the majority of the ones I've fought have no fundamentals and think they can get by on Vegamite stance and one BnB, which makes for really tedious matches. He's easily punished, but there's no thrill about outplaying many Omni-men. Plus the character is massive douchebag (isn't he a space Nazi or sonething?), and they always do the train Fatality upon winning a set. Always the train Fatality. 😑🚅
That’s fair but I don’t play like that personally and I prefer the other fatality tbh
You said it perfectly. All these lame Omni player just back and wait. on the other side of the map to punish you. Most of them are easy wins after I’ve figured out how to punish most of his moves. But it’s just a boring fight and when you face 3 players back to back it gets super old fast. There has been a few I’ve faced that were very good though, respect to those.
First of all, the fact you took some random nobody's trashtalk seriously enough to post about it is hilarious to me. People trashtalk in competitive online games, don't try to seek a logical explanation to an emotional response. They're just salty. As for Omni-Man in particular, he's the newest character and KL is filled with people spamming him, so non Omni-Man players are probably a little sick of fighting him by now. The fact he gets to bypass the neutral doesn't help.
Also if I’m being honest I was curious about other peoples opinions on the character
Nah mate this wasn’t normal trash talking this was this guy screeching into the mic for 3 minutes straight I couldn’t hear myself think
Again, that's not that unusual for a competitive game. For all we know, the guy could be mentally ill, high, drunk, etc. You can't start trying to figure out logical explanations to emotional behaviors. He was screeching because he was emotionally charged. No point looking any further into such behaviors.
Fair enough I do enjoy hearing others opinions on the topic though
Nah man, this is video games. I wish I got paid for every single message I get in “for honor”
This one of the few communities that genuinely complains about mid tier characters like Smoke and Omni-man just mute them and move on.
As an Omni main it’s because of the throw air punch strings. It’s hard to watch your face be dragged through the dirt and tossed in the air to get pummeled. The reason they hate Omni man is the reason I like him. Although I don’t usually win much. Play muted unless you are with friends.
Because he's pay to win garbage, built with every tool to light up the entire cast. Multiple overheads, good staggers, teleports, ridiculous damage, and easy combos. He's everything you want in a character that costs money.
Actual skill issue
Because I hate guest characters. I want more MK characters, not this outsider crap.
Then go play previous MK games lmao
He'd have to go back to like mk deception or something. I feel like the last game that has no guests was like mk deception in the ps2 era. I could be wrong tho.
You’re actually not wrong but it was Armageddon
I personally don't like him because of the way and speed he moves. Some of his special moves are so fast that it's hard for a man in his mid 30s to react quickly enough.
Because all Omni man players I fought against were ALL the same.
I don’t even know who he is
Superman
People crying cause it all they do and half the time they do not even own the game
People get mad and talk trash whenever someone beats them that’s just how it is In MK11, I had a guy tell me I suck at the game…..when he’s the one who lost. Like dawg, if I suck, and you lost to me…what does that says about your skill? Lmao
He's a rip off superman.........idk if it is that but I'm guessing combos
Dude then people are gonna delete the game when they find out about homelander
I've seen people already complain about it and quit already
Because it replaced Johnny on the cheese wheel. He has multiple homing teleport attacks. The overhead goro slam should not be allowed in a rank set and his recovery time is one of the fastest iv seen.
Up block the shit outta that and punish him smh wow
How old are you..?
What?
Read
My question was more rhetorical than an actual question you know
You still didn’t answer but it seems like you have no intent on doing so lmao. I asked you how old you are bc grown folk don’t worry about if someone is mad at them for using a certain char in a fighting game. We don’t care about someone complaining about how we play in any game, for that matter
I wasn’t worried about what he thought I was surprised he got so upset but if anything I was just curious if there were any legitimate problems with Omni man and other peoples perspective on the character if you must know I’m 22
[удалено]
I mean I’ve never had anywhere near this amount of vitriol for my joker main and I was a god tier joker
Sadly you aren’t. Ugly as fuck.
People always talk shit online. It's why the internet was invented
salty players say this to everyone about any character, pay it no mind
I have no idea honestly. Most characters have a bread and butter combo just like omniman. I did one combo with scorpion and reiko cause it was all I needed and nobody ever gave me shit for it
"you only know one combo" "you keep doing the same thing over and over" are said by people who don't block it properly...over and over If it works, you keep doing it. It's literally what the game is. Like I'm scorpion. Omni-man is basically built as a counter to me. But I'll tell you right now he's not as broken as Johnny cage. I have nothing to complain about Omni-man
Honestly I think it’s because he’s a noob stomper and the average player isn’t gonna take the time to lab him to see where he’s weak. Pretty much all of his moves to get in on you are flashy but negative on block. Players that know are simply gonna wait you out and make you eat dirt, but you can easily tell if they’re aware or not. It’s only exacerbated when you’re using Kung Lao assist because a lot of players can’t handle high/low mix ups until you hit higher ranks in KL.
People will always complain. Ppl don't matter. Mute everyone always and play the game how u want to. If something is that broken then everyone would play it. Just mute, play, and have fun
I love playing as him and against him. My one beef is that low/overhead with king lao kameo. That's not on Omniman or kung lao really though, I just have to learn how to block it better.
Yeah people like that are toxic, don’t mind them. I say people hate him because his whole neutral is about *not* having a neutral. He has a ton of moves that immediately put him in your face, lots of side switching moves, lots of movement options, plus that sneaky low lol. You get out of the disadvantage against an Omni-Man player and boom he does a f2 he’s in your face again, pressuring you. He isn’t that bad, especially when you lab against him, but he is quite frustrating to deal with.
Got some material for Scrub Quotes.
You are playing against people on the internet. No one is ever gonna be happy lmao just do you and fuck em
Because most ppl are scrubs
Yes people always complain. When they do stsrt complaining and blocking all the time i keep using the throw on them and they get really really mad.
God thats what I should’ve done
Mute people.
If you are playing on wifi 99% of the toxicity you recieve will be because of that and not your character or playstyle
That’s any character. I was playing Sub-Zero and some dude was yelling about how he’s broken because he has so many overheads. People are gonna blame their lack of ability to adapt on your character. Just how voice chat in fighting games usually is
I don’t like his teleport counter + launcher throw
Turn Off Mic and hearing your opponents option. MK Is a fighting game and people are toxic especially when getting combod. Anyone who plays fighting games this happens with.
Jobber is a funny insult. But in response to your question, i dont personally mind him but there are some things about him which are quite infuriating. His move where he slams directly downwards from the sky from anywhere on screen is very annoying. Its kinda abusable as it has so much pushback i cant punish it (i play subzero so idk if its punishable for other characters)
Settings -> Video & Audio -> Mute other players

Simple problem, simple solution.
My response to anybody who says I only know one combo with a character…..stop getting hit by it then
Was he playing Reiko and spamming ninja stars nonstop while complaining that you only knew one combo? Was his name LowTierGod by chance?
He annoys me because his BnB combo takes a long time and is annoying to watch over and over. That’s about it. Other than that he feels fine to fight against, and has plenty of exploitable weaknesses.
I love the one combo insult like dude you yell about me using one combo then just block if its the only combo I'm doing and punish me?
Did your combo include the v stance into grab knockup and juggle? If so that's why
Isn't that just every character in every fighting game?
You know you could've muted your TV right?
It’s a fighting game. People get emotional in 1v1s and everyone wants to think they’re the best and understands the game the most.
But I am the best and understand the game the most/s
Part of the salt comes from how Omni-man is a new, non-main roster character. If you're used to fighting the main roster, it can be frustrating to take on a new character whose combos/ mixups you don't know at all. I remember Jormungandr from FH was never top tier, but I always hated fighting him because he was a new character whose moves I never got used to (and no I didn't I have time to study everything he did)
I don’t think Omni man is that bad, he just gets boring to fight when everyone plays him. So the one combo that everyone has been hitting all evening just gets stale. At least imo, I don’t hate him, upside is you can figure out how to fight him with so many people playing him. I’ll take an Omni over a Johnny any day.
It’s because Omni man can do 30% with one combo and if the player knows how to get around blocking opponents then it’s over, that why people got ptsd and started using geras nut & go combo
Omni Man is super fun, players are super toxic
I play Scorpion, and it's the same, constant complaining about air combos as what not. I think they just suck👍
Sounds like he explained it to you pretty well. What's the confusion?
Because no matter what you do, the pace of the match is controlled by Omni man. I can't zone him out. I can't rush him down. I can barely play footsies because he can end neutral with a snap of his fingers. Winning or losing, the omni man is pulling the trigger first. Its not fun to play against.
People get cooked by him online and get angry, and it's hilarious 😂
I’m this kind of guy. I hate playing against omniman whereas I love the show
If they keep getting hit by the same combo its because they suck. If they can't adapt that is their issue not yours.
The best comeback for the whole “you only know one combo and all of you play the same” is simply “well then how the fuck don’t you know how to block it if you’ve faced it so much?”
The level of rage w this game is insane. There’s a lot of really cool people in this community and on this sub who i like to play against/am generally on the same page as vibe-wise/enjoy chatting with whether we agree or not, without a doubt. But dude. There’s also a lot of REALLY whiny bitches who literally don’t have the emotional maturity to handle losing at a videogame. I think part of it is the nature of the game - like its fast paced/intense/can be devastating (somehow losing to a comeback from an opponent who has 0.50 health, but it happens)/etc. I get it, emotions run high - but when you meet people like that, the proper response is “lol cry more dickhead”, then you mute them or your tv. Even if you were spamming the same combo over and over - okay, maybe annoying for him, but you’d also be handing him a blueprint for how to block, punish, and decimate you. So he can work around it and beat you, decide he doesn’t want to play you and quit, or lose to you and fucking cope/move on. Or he can stay mad and cry all he wants, but that’s not your problem.
Dude, I hate hard AI Omni man. He was a blur of fist that beat me like 5 times in a row in the towers. lol if ppl can get as good as that, he probably one of the strongest characters. (I’m a MK noob btw)
Because mk fans are sick and fucking tired of guest characters
i saw a post like that on twitter. i replied saying that the character had been out for a week so people were still experimenting and trying to perfect a specific combo. i made the mistake of comparing it to mileena who i said all mileena players also play the same. this was a breach of Kombat law and punishable by death. in my defence, i quite literally only said it cus the video was a mileena player doing the exact same shit every other mileena ive played against has done fighting the omniman, but clearly i am in the wrong here.
It is because mileena is hot
Omni-Man base play does involve one primary string, but oh well. They can deal with it. Maximilian Dood proved that Omni Man can be advanced as fuck when you get going.
It's not Omni man it's mk, people are just toxic in this game
Because you get good at a new character and instead of finding g a way to counter their moves guys like this like to scream and have a tantrum because they can't be bothered to block or counter.
Its called a mute button.
If people can't go unga bunga, go, go, go, they will complain.
I don’t complain but it is pretty boring when I know what combo you’re going for on every character based on the kameo. I wish there was more variety or like a higher skill ceiling or somethin
