The article discusses new Magic: The Gathering cards from the Edge of Eternities set, highlighting a powerful combo involving Singularity Rupture and Riverchurn Monument for a potential game-winning mill strategy, along with other notable cards like Genemorph Imago, Weapons Manufacturing, and Sami, Wildcat Captain, each offering unique strategic possibilities in various formats.
A player has discovered an incredibly difficult combo for Street Fighter 6's character Ed, involving precise timing and execution. The combo utilizes Ed's level 2 super, Psycho Cannon, to keep the opponent grounded and extend the sequence, allowing for the potential to hit two level 2 supers in the same combo. The combo also incorporates microwalks and requires tight timing for multiple fully charged heavy punches. Despite its difficulty, the community is excited to explore more possibilities with Ed as the game continues to develop.
The release of The Lost Caverns of Ixalan has revived the Jeskai Ascendancy combo archetype in Modern. The deck utilizes cards like Jeskai Ascendancy, Emry, Lurker of the Loch, and Mox Amber to generate infinite mana, large creatures, and card advantage. The addition of Inti, Seneschal of the Sun has provided the deck with a powerful tool, allowing for extra card plays and trample damage. While the deck has strengths in both combo and combat damage, it lacks interaction and can struggle against faster combo decks. Nonetheless, the deck's potential breakout remains to be seen.
Pro Mortal Kombat player Jarrad Gooden, also known as NinjaKilla212, showcases an 89-hit combo in Mortal Kombat 1, throwing demon warrior Baraka for nearly a minute. The clip, posted on Twitter, amazed viewers with its length and complexity. Gooden utilizes Shang Tsung's abilities and Scorpion as an assistant to keep the combo going. While impressive, the damage scaling and the possibility of using a Combo Breaker ability prevent the combo from being match-ending. Mortal Kombat 1 has been praised for its gore and storyline, and is available on various platforms.
Mortal Kombat 1 professional player, NinjaKilla212, showcases an 89-hit combo from Shang Tsung involving juggling and Kameo characters. While this combo is impressive, it only causes 45% damage due to scaling, and players can use meter to break out of combos. The new Kameo system in Mortal Kombat 1 has been well-received by players, but some believe this particular combo may need to be nerfed. Additionally, NetherRealm is addressing a bug that gives Player 1 an advantage over Player 2, and updates are promised for the Nintendo Switch version's visuals.
Mortal Kombat 1 has a major bug known as "player 1 advantage," where player 1 has exclusive combos that work only for them, giving them a distinct advantage over player 2. This bug affects the entire roster, including characters like Sub-Zero and Kitana. The issue has the potential to impact the game's competitive future, as characters can be locked out of optimal combo routes based on which port a player is assigned. It is hoped that this bug will be addressed to ensure a fair competitive environment.
The upcoming Magic: The Gathering set, Wilds of Eldraine, introduces Enchanting Tales cards, reprinted enchantments that add flavor to the set. These bonus sheet cards can affect the Limited environment and offer the opportunity for epic combos. Examples include the Hylda of the Icy Crown combo, which generates an arbitrarily large number of Elemental Creature tokens, and the Intruder Alarm combo, which can create infinite mana or creatures. Another combo involves Aggravated Assault, which allows for infinite combat steps. While these combos may be difficult to pull off, they add excitement to the prerelease experience.
Players testing the Mortal Kombat 1 Stress Test build have discovered that Kitana has an infinite combo that is activated by inputting 2, 1, 4. The combo only hits the opponent twice, but the third input is necessary to provide enough hit stun for Kitana to link into 2, 1, 4 again. This type of string is uncommon in NRS games and is likely to be fixed before the game's launch.
EGSonicFox has showcased Kenshi's Sento Stance technique in Mortal Kombat 1 Stress Test, which allows Kenshi to temporarily become a puppet character, improving his pressure and combo capabilities. SonicFox was able to perform a combo consisting of 20 hits that deals about 48% of a health bar. Mortal Kombat 1 Stress Test will go on until June 26, and more players will be given the opportunity to try out Mortal Kombat 1 sometime during the pre-order beta slated for August.
A new two-card combo in Magic: The Gathering's Commander format involves Etali, Primal Conqueror and Displacer Kitten, allowing players to cast a majority of their opponent's deck. Flicker cards and Panharmonicon can be used to trigger Etali's enter the battlefield ability repeatedly, while Displacer Kitten can flicker Etali and trigger its ability again. The combo is not fail-proof, but has a low fail rate. Niv-Mizzet Reborn and Omnath, Locus of Creation are suggested as good Commanders for this strategy.
