Bro no body buys mortal kombat just to do fatalities. It's a fighting game. And by harder to execute, I meant by reducing the timer it would leave a smaller window to make mistakes and keep trying the input. And if you cater a fighting game to people who only care about visuals and violence, then in the long run, the game will flop. This game has so many issues because nrs has been focusing on these stupid dlc's like EASY FATALITIES, KRYPT UNLOCKS, DAY ONE PAY FOR PLAY CHARACTERS, COSTUMES, the list goes on. If I've said it before, I've said it a gazillion times... Mortal Kombat shouldn't be known for its visuals and violence, granted it's pretty awesome. It should be known to be an all around awesome fighting game. I could rant further but all I ask is on ranked 1v1, which is the competitive play list, there should be a reduced fatality timer or maybe even no fatalities. Again, just RANKED 1V1. NRS should make this game SOMEWHAT competitive because right now it only caters to those people who love blood and gore and not the ones who actually like to fight.
not to attack you, but That is the thing that sets MKX apart from other fighters, you take away the gore, fatalities, humility, and making them sit thier and rubing it in there face you will have every other fighter!
Don't get me wrong. It's awesome. MK has never disappointed when it came to that kind of thing. I just wish it felt a little more competitive. I mean... What has nrs done to actually improve gameplay? "Balance" patches? The online is still horrid after like 4 years, dlc is still a mockery... I like mk. Been playing since 1 but I don't like the path it's going down right now.
Obviously, they buy it to play it as well. That should have gone without being stated. But the game is know for all the gore and ridiculousness. You're also acting like NRS hasn't even bothered balancing the game whatsoever or even contributed to pot bonuses at majors and has only focused on all the micro transactions which is an absolute lie. I will repeat it again as well, the majority of people who buy this game are casuals. They don't want to play focused 100% on being part of a competitive scene. They play to have fun and see all the blood and gore.
same here, im in search for a new fighter, might try KI and DOA5
Ya I've been looking hard into tekken 7 and that's the problem. I'm such a fan of the mk series and I don't want to leave it, but it's beginning to disappoint me.
I think people do it more to be a spiteful asshole than anything. I mean, they don't t-bag you 50 times and THEN do a Fatality for the bonus (F)XP.
Reducing the fatality timer is just one example of how nrs can increase the competitiveness, that's all. And tournaments are a way to advertise the game. Whenever someone in a tournament pauses the game to see how to do a fatality, everyone tends to boo. Why? Because people want to see the fight! Not that nonsense! A lot of competitive players only do fatalities so they can get a chance to stretch or dry their hands or something. You know... To WASTE TIME? Sorry I know it's mortal kombat, but it's a fighting game. It should focus on the fighting.
IMO reducing the fatality timer will not affect how competitive the game is. You still have the option to leave at the finish him screen if you don't want to deal with it. Also, I am pretty sure they get boo'ed for not knowing the fatalities. Fatalities are significantly more hype in tournament considering they're rarely ever done and they're also usually done at the end of a set so its not really a thing to waste time. Not to come off as rude, but you act as if all NRS does is care for fan service. This is one of the better balanced games as just about every character is viable in a tourney situation. It focuses plenty on the fighting aspect.
