I see what y'all are saying about the game 'looking slow' but the game doesn't feel slow when you're playing, it's just some moves have the longest animations for no reason. And some characters have slower movement and strings like Kitana who feels sluggish up close. I'm really afraid Mileena is going to have the same type of sluggish Kitana strings, because it looked that way in the gameplay reveal, but maybe they'll fix that stuff.
Some animations as I said need tweaking, Like Kenshi's stance amp attack that lasts for 25 years. And some Kameo throws are too long. I also absolutely HATE the slow down after a kill on the first round. Like why? What is the point? You already have a slow down on last round, STOP IT. They should remove kill slowdown on all rounds IMO.
And dashing is non-usable for combos which I think is why people who are watching have the impression that the gameplay looks slow. But if they change the dash speed then it'll change neutral a lot and I think neutral in this game is already solid. What they need to change is the walk speed, it’s too slow and it prevents you from whiff punishing blocked pokes. Kitana literally can’t just walk back after a poke she’ll get blown up lmao.
Overall, EXTREMELY fun game. The music is top tier, the gibberish is back which is sick, combo freedom and Kameos are great. It feels like this is going to be the best MK game in a long time depending on the base roster and other crazy Kameos I can't wait to see.
