mkx is definately the better game of the two. Like comparing street fighter 1 to street fighter 2.

For starters you don't have a game dominated by 3 characters that force pretty much everyone to play those 3.

still prefer MK9, but I agree, too many broken-ass kabals.

Hey Guys,

I've just got out of a relationship after 5 years. There where some problems that came up to the point where I didn't work out. I do miss her from time to time and still think and care about her. However, I've met this new girl who is totally different and new. I really like her but don't really know her since we've only been dating for 2 months. I know it's going to take some time to get to know each other, but I've got one question....who do you think is better? My ex or the new girl I've just started seeing?

MK9. Better at almost everything fighting-wise, better roster, better game. MKX is watered down dumbed down, linear fighter imo. Fun, but clearly dumbed down in comparison to MK9.

Hopefully future patching will upgrade this game, but it's hard to tell whether they want the game exactly as is or not. They changed many aspects of Injustice for the better so there's hope.

Hey Guys,

I've just posted a topic about MK9 and MKX ,asking wich one people like better.
Then this guy brings his ''relationships'' into it... like wtf. However, he is obviously trying to say it's too early.
But I've got one question...If it's too early for him ..What do you think would be better if he posted that bs story or if he simply didn't reply at all?

Overall: MKX. I find, gameplay wise, MKX to be more daring and more inspired. More unique types of character kits, and the variations while flawed, are an awesome idea and came out better than I anticipated. Just wish there were more Kanos and Johnny's where all 3 variations are nearly on par.. And I wish the game was less offense oriented and had less 50/50s and dumb stuff like that. Characters like Johnny, Kotal, Kano and Takers are what I wished MKx were more filled with: characters who were fair and gave the opponent more agency in fighting them rather than characters like Scorpion with powerful 50/50s. I also find the neutral game in MKX more interesting to watch and its overall seems more balanced than MK9 which basically only had Kabal, Kenshi, and the occasional like Sonya or whatever.

Aesthetically, MKX is miles ahead. I never understood what people meant by mk9 having bad animations until now. In MK9 characters looked waxy and moved like action figures. The animations looked so rigid in mk9 like characters couldn't bend their spine and had stiff backs, or attacks looked like the rest of the body wouldn't be affected by its movement so stuff looked floaty and lack oomph. Mkx is weightier, more impactful and animated pretty well.

MK9 had Noob, who I miss longingly.


Aside from this key issue, I think MKX is better

I've been on the fence about this for awhile, but as the days go on and I gain more experience with MKX, I prefer it over MK9 overall. The times I tend to 'miss' MK9 are usually when I feel overwhelmed by the certain aspects of MKX or the current meta of rushdown50/50vortexurfaceoffgitgudskrublol. Which, in all honesty, tends to have a solution or counter that I haven't put time into practicing enough.

I feel those of us that miss MK9 occasionally has a lot to do with the fact that we played the game for so long, and because of that we were more knowledgeable and experienced in that game and therefore felt we had more control over the outcomes of matches than we currently do. The stuff that seemed overwhelming for me at first is gradually becoming easier to deal with.

As some have said, we have to give this game more time before we can really decide on which game is truly better overall. What I will say for sure is that MKX wins in terms of balance, MK9 perhaps wins in terms of roster and how much it played on nostalgia in general with the costumes, stages, etc. It was the perfect fan service game for those of us that grew up with the original 2D iterations. I would love to see more of the original trilogy characters return, namely Smoke and Noob Saibot. Hell, I'd think it'd be cool to see some stages from MK9 return if possible, I think Kahn's Arena would look awesome with the updated graphics of MKX.

Don't be so resistant to change, chances are those of you that prefer MK9 now will be making the same posts about how much you miss MKX when Injustice 2/MK11 roll around.

As most said, Mk9 had more appealing and cool art style. Character roster felt a lot more cool.

MKX has a lot better gameplay but controls are a bit crap, input time, run (3 buttons...) cancel, and all that. Could have been done in more user friendly way.

But if we would compare it. MKX feels like better game so far. I felt like MK9 gameplay got repetitive quite fast.
If they would bring all characters from MK9 people would go nuts :D .
I really do hope they will support MKX with DLC's . Like Street Fighter 4 did. But we'll see. Would be a shame if we wont get any more characters down the line. Sorry I went a bit off topic :p .

You never heard of sarcasm or the expressions "Many true words said in a joke" or "read between the lines"? You actually answered your own question there in that statement about what that guy was getting at.
