What's new

If balance, mechanics, and depth are your priorities, why do you play MK?

I just feel as if this game highlights violence perfectly. I don’t want cartoony violence, I want to see my character leave an impact after every hit. Then earning your right to taunt, fatality, or spare? Icing on the cake.

Because NRS games are the only fighting games that actually look good and have cool characters, the rest is just Asian mumbo-jumbo with characters that look like the most generic person walking down the street.
I disagree, I’ve seen plenty of characters from anime fighters that made me wish MK characters were as “cool” as they looked.

Bro I dunno what street ur walking down but guilty gear characters are some of the weirdest shit I have ever seen. Theres one dude who is passed out on a bed while the bed beats the shit out of people. Also a shark-mech with human shaped teeth / arms and legs and some guy inside of it's mouth (possibly controlling it?)who is for some reason accompanied by a dog (also inside the shark's mouth).
.
If I ever saw this thing walking down the street I would be quite alarmed.
Yeah that game is the exception, but look at the most popular games like Tekken, SF, character cast and visuals are really bad.

Let me guess the characters above.
Dr. Jeckle and Mr. Hyde?
Rogaine Hulk?
Gimli on steroids?
Robot bane?
Gay Vega?
Scorpion role playing?
Predator mixed with Terminator?
Ermac before his clothes In the 2nd timeline?
Dinobot?
:D:p



Btw, Any game that can give me migraines and/or seizures is an anime game could be mvc or db with the blur effect.

The little dude in that dog mouth thing, looks like the little wizard guy from He-Man lol
 
How about show a pic of a female fighters in a Japanese game?



Look at these.
Please convince me it's not inspired by the unrealistic, sexist Japanese anime.
I just give pretty decent examples. I see much worse in Japanese fighting games.

I dont think having sexy outfit means "sexist" lol just means they're not overly PC. For that I respect Capcom. Never change cappy

As if it’s just the outfits that are exaggerated in those pics. Let’s be serious here.

There it is...
Why do we play games. Fun
There's more nuance to fun than balance.
Mkx was a total shit show but was leagues more fun than injustice.
 
Subjective opinion that you're more than welcome to, but we're gunna have to agree to disagree.

Oof. I guess I'll agree to disagree and you'll flaunt your opinions like fact. Neat.
I mean hey, I'm allowed. Also that's just bullshit that it's an elder god tier roster? I mean who says something like that? No one's putting this roster over mk9 or mkx roster. Especially with how nrs treats fan favorite characters

I mean, I am. I genuinely believe this is the best MK roster. There's a great combination of new, old, and returning characters with some of the best guests coming (though I still think Freddy is #1 guest). One of my only complaints of the roster isnt so much the roster itself and more the lazy copout by NRS in not including other realms that would 100% be affected by the temporal crisis.

-I wasnt being sarcastic in my post about making MK12 better in wanting as few of the male ninjas as possible. I feel they should be a rotating bunch, not the "baseline" as everyone seems to want that entire crew to be
-Mileena sitting this one out makes sense to me. We've got a fully fleshed out Skarlet to take her place as female psychopath, and Skarlet does it infinitely better in my opinion
-Quan Chi is finally gone. I've never really cared for Shinnok either
-In my opinion, both Geras and Cetrion are designed exceptionally well for newcomers
-All but 1 of the MKX newcomers I cared for made the transition (Takeda), and the 1 I disliked most got enough of an overhaul that she's pretty damn solid now (Jacqui)
-D'Vorah is here and always should be to me
-I just do not care about the cyborgs whatsoever so them just being cameos is perfect for me
-DLC is 100% fanservice returning characters who had no story role in MK11 and weren't around for MKX. If they had been MKX characters, I'd have been pissed
-Frost has grown on me like a tumor: completely outside my desire to let it happen. She was handled decently well for personality and plays her own unique style
-MK9 and MKX had characters I considered throwaways like Stryker, Cyber Sub, Reptile, Ferra-Tor, and Goro. The only MK11 throwaway I feel is Kollector

So in conclusion, I believe MK11 has the best roster to date. Dont present like fact this idea that no one likes MK11's roster as much as the previous two because you're objectively wrong in that.

It sounds like you want the roster to cater mostly to you while I'm trying to have the popular and mainstay characters people have grown with stay around. You're saying a lot of ,"me" and I'm thinking about mk as a whole. People are definitely upset favorites are taking backseats to kollector cetrion joker or terminator. A lot of people love mk for the ninjas and the borgs and you just want them to not make multiple base roster appearances? That's almost as bad as people who say scorpion and subzero should sit out for a game. Mileena sitting out makes sense for story but Scarlett is nowhere near a replacement for her. Cetrion looks like something made for Injustice. If cetrion wasn't as good as she is most people probably wouldn't be playing her. Yeah because Frost didn't just become female cyber subzero.

And you don't want it catered to you? Is that not exactly what you're saying when you say X should be in and Y should be out? Only you can have desires for characters being in and opinions on who should sit out just because your desired character list includes all the older characters? Drop this shitty tactic of the nostalgia pandering high ground. Not every game is going to be MK9 + some other characters.

I definitely feel for them as I have characters I'd love to see, but I also fully understand that I'm not the one making the game so I won't get everything I want. Instead, I'll enjoy what I've got and MK11 has given me a lot more than MK9 and MKX ever did.

As for the borgs and ninjas, that is exactly what I want. We had Triborg last game via DLC and both borgs + human smoke in base MK9. They can sit ONE game out. We also had Reptile & Ermac in the last 2 games. They can sit one out too. Rotate some of the non-core ninjas in and out between games such as they've done now.

Mileena sitting out makes sense for story but Scarlett is nowhere near a replacement for her. Cetrion looks like something made for Injustice. If cetrion wasn't as good as she is most people probably wouldn't be playing her.
You're welcome to have these opinions.

Yeah because Frost didn't just become female cyber subzero.
Only one variation of hers plays anything akin to Cyber-Sub. The others are completely their own thing.
