Hey everyone,

So, it looks like some juicy details have surfaced about Mortal Kombat 1, and I couldn’t wait to share my thoughts with you all. According to a recent leak, there’s talk of an online practice mode coming to the game. I’m not sure about you, but this sounds like a pretty big deal!

Here’s why I’m intrigued: Mortal Kombat has always been about those intense, face-to-face battles where every move counts. The idea of having an online practice mode could be a game-changer. Imagine being able to practice your combos and strategies against real players, not just AI. It could really help in fine-tuning skills and preparing for those high-stakes online matches.

On the flip side, I’m a bit cautious. Leaks can sometimes be misleading, and it’s possible this feature might not be as revolutionary as it sounds. Plus, balancing an online practice mode could be tricky—how do you ensure fair play while allowing players to practice effectively?

 
Honestly, this is more hype than anything. The online practice mode just ends up being another space for people to spam the same moves over and over. If they really wanted to make it a game-changer, they should add features like custom challenges or specific drills against real players.
 
I think the online practice mode is a nice addition, but it’s not the revolution they're making it out to be. It feels more like a way to pad the game's feature list than something that’s going to drastically change how people play or train. Sure, it's cool to practice against live opponents without worrying about your rank, but it doesn't really address the core issues players face in learning the game—like execution under pressure or understanding specific matchups. For me, offline practice is still the best way to grind combos and set plays.
