umm is this a joke? MK9 combo's being compared to X combos is like Comparing Michael Jackson (MK9) to Lil Wayne (MKX)...

One had so much fuckin swag he grabbed his dick a different way everytime you saw him... The other rhymes purple with schmurple and mumbles some nonsense everyone else that isn't creative does.

I'm not hating, but you can't even argue that the swag potential in MK9 was FARRRR greater then MKX mechanics allow

 

[freerf245]

Hmm dunno... Did it had?

 

[CrimsonShadow]

Nope. The animation in MKX is a lot, lot better. You will never see anything as beautiful as Shirai Ryu combos or Johnny Cage's Stunt Double combos in MK9. Also the run button, and the fact that many characters have cancels, creates all kinds of additional swag.

If you want an example, compare Cyrax combos in MK9 to his Combos in MKX -- he looks a lot stiffer in MK9, while his combos in MKX look like pure art.

No, but it had better grammar.

MKX:

This shouldn't even be a discussion. MKX combos look and animate much, much better.

This thread has bad vibes written all over it.

 

[Marinjuana]

Nah, MKX is gorgeous.

 

[RM AtK!]

Yes, it does and MK9 is better than MKXL in every way. How can MKXL compare to it?

Good talk, have a nice day/thread .

ESPIHOE plz.. i'm just talkin about creativity and swag factors here which is what i thought the illiterate title was referring to..

 

[Linkuei82]

I like MK9 kombos better.

 

[Israfel]

MK9 was a great game but the combos and movement in general were extremely rigid. Everything flows so well in MKX.

I don't think you've made a single credible post about MKX this year, there's nothing wrong with deviating from the norm .

Sub Zero in MK9:

MK9 Subby would literally cry if he knew how spectacular his combos would look within 4 short years.

MKX has sick graphics and a netcode now..

lol

Cage 2 dash 2 combos were too hype. Kabal's f4NDC mid combo shit looked hype. Skarlet f4 RDDS combos...SWAG.

MKX is great, but I ain't gonna lie, MK9 combos were MAD fun to do.

 

[CrimsonShadow]

Bruh.

Once the bottom video gets to Kenshi, I just have to turn it off. Massacre. They did an amazing job with the animation in MKX.

EDIT: Dude, the Dragon's Fire combos.. Come on man.

lol. cage. launch, dash 2.. dash 2.. dash 2... 44 nut punch.... i saw that shit, 200 times a day. and it wasnt even that cool the first time i saw it. we have very different definitions of "hype" . fun to do? maybe. but definately not hype. Now charging back 2 and hitting that shit. FUCK YEAH. now THAT SHIT is hype

 

[Baconlord]

Tbh I always thought the dash cancels looked really stiff. Never was a fan of the way mk9 animated so mkx takes the cake for me.

 

[TotteryManx]

The real question is: Which game has less greasy shit?

 

[Scott The Scot]

I much prefer the dash cancels and animations and looks from MK9.

 

[WakeUp DP]

MKX combos are much better, you can even run to switch sides lol... But I do miss hey hey hey Kabals combos.

 

[WakeUp DP]

Also the question should had been "which game has better looking combos" the way you worded it makes it sound biased as fuck.

 

[coolwhip]

If graphics are supposed to be taken into account, then of course not. But in terms of potential creativity and diversity then yeah, MK9 had better combos.

 

[Groove Heaven]

The animations look way better in MKX, but of course they do...the game is 4 years newer.

I think the combos looked cooler and were more fun to do in MK9. Being able to cancel dashes gave the juggles a lot of room for improv, flashiness, and new ideas. I do like the cancels in MKX though.
