Here we go, defending the obviously lazy and bullshit writing.

If Ed boon added a literal steaming dump to the game you would write a thesis on how it adds to the complexity and skill to the game.

Whatever guys, keep your literal steaming dump in your posts to yourselfs.

Your posts are either totally stupid insights with no merit that get you blown up by like 5 people at a time or you just making pointless 'omg CEO was so great this year' 'tweedy let me taste your balls' etc.

But carry on saying everyone else is immature and you're right.

I'm good, thank you, they are not gonna change anyway. And about Kung Jin, just because you might not like him as a char that doesn't what he did in the Story wasn't true to his characteristics and abilities. Shaolin memebers beating powerful Outworld beings isn't something new, and Kung Jin isn't weak whatsoever. Mixing likes/dislikes with facts isn't good for anyone. That wasn't stupid as all, it was logical. Just like Johnny having his secret powers and both him and Cassie being strong enough to beat Shinnok was logical if you would see Johnny's MK9 Bio and Arcade mode ending, or that Quan Chi was weak if you listend to what the characters said about Quan having Shinnok as a power source.

I will just ignore Wigy and Laidbackone and the rest of their kind.

Kotal humiliates Goro, who was a multiple MK champion, but then gets slapped in story mode by Kung Jin. Fucking NRS, man. Get your shit together.

Yeah...made Kotal look like a total bitch.

Not a good look when you’re trying to establish a brand new character as a successor to the outworld throne. He jobbed harder than Baraka, and we are all supposed to view him as a leader of an entire realm? Pathetic.

Thank you. Thats "how not to write dumb shit unlike nrs 101" right?

Just to talk about both sides of this other argument I see going on here (Roy and everybody else), I think:

1) No fighting game is perfect. It's not possible to make a flawless fighting game, and thus some feedback is always valid.

2) But sometimes people do use criticism of the game or developer to try to cover their own personal hurdles and stumbling blocks (or just to push their own subjective view of what a fighting game should be). For example, a player who never bothered to learn how to make it through zoning complaining about the zoning in a fighting game is something you'd have to take with a grain of salt.

This is why it matters who is saying what. But neither position is ever 100% right and that's the beauty of the world we live/play in.

But like I said, other chars that were also at the same level and age of Kung Jin did very similar stuff, like the case of Kung Lao vs. Goro (and he also beat both Shang Tsung and Quan Chi right before that, back to back) and again Sub-Zero in a handicap match against Goro and Kintrao. And if you're talking about him losing in terms of cut-scene, I'm not quite sure if you acutally played the story mode or watched the cutscenes. Because that lose didn't look like any of Baraka's loses at all.

That's 110% true hands down.

A player like Crimson Shadow?

I’m not arguing here. I’m right, and you’re looney toons. That’s established TYM canon. Maybe there’s like a 1% margin for error, but c’mon. C’mon, Roy. C’mon.

Haha. I don't have an issue with being patient and making it through the maelstrom. Just gimme my payoff when I'm there, you hybrid zoning/broke footsies zealot

I see that you're exposing TYM as toxic place even further on behalf of everyone. You're only proven my point even further. So go ahaed and continue to do so...

Nope. You've already proven my point, and judgeing by your posts there is no point in talking to you any longer. Bye Bye.

The issue with Kung Jin is that They wanted to create a strong and successful gay man. MKX was the least gory story mode ever made for the mk franchise.... C'mon... Jackie briggs Kicking Sub Zero butt in his own Story ark?. Where He was to supposed to teach them a lesson?. Cassie Cage ass-pull on Shinnock?. The only ones that got gored were Baraka, Mileena and Shinnock in that Story mode for what I can remember. In MK9. Sindel literally Killed almost all the MK9 cast and Raiden killed Liu Kang. In short... MKX story was about the edgy cool little kids that surpass the grown old adults with the power of friendship.

 

[God Confirm]

By the same flip of the coin, I feel like the sheep mentality has been responsible for a lot of the good things said about I2. This game is kinda wacksauce imo but it's been a bit of a circlejerk to speak the praise of this game and ignore it's faults, so now that pendulum has swung back and the same people parroting twitter's opinions are just keeping it up.


Brainiac was a cool character tho

Sub-Zero was the one who beat Jackie in Sub's chapter, in fact he beat all 4 kids in his chapter back to back. And Cassie could've beat Shinnok because she got these powers from Johnny who got them because of him being a part of a special cult, which was mentioned both in his MK9 bio and Arcade ending.

And about Kung Jin, that's what you need to do in order to build him, just like they did with the rest of the new chars. Both the kids and the Outworld new chars. And that was the whole point of MKX, to cteate a new generation of MK chars to go along with the classics, that's how you do it. And the gore in that story was fine and enough, you don't need to have a mass murder like with Sindel in MK9, and BTW the only reason she was able to do so was because she absorbed Shang Tsung soul, thus becoming a lot more powerful.

Roy, can we please stop the stanning man it's cool, we have got it.

As for injustice 2... The real issue with the game is the lack of counter options for the zoning game in my opinion... plus poor mobility... it makes a weird game for the genre. Maybe some time in the future They will get it at the next Injustice. I doubt they will fix that for the current game. They are done period.
