Seven something you and your friend need to realize, these guys (NRS) work for Warner Brothers. They do what they are told and make their game how they think most fans will like it. Balance is something they work on very hard but it is definitely not their first priority cause as always competitive gamers are maybe 1% of the people that will buy this game. I love that NRS is trying new things. I dont want game clone after game clone with minimal changes. Either way i will probably love this game just like i did MK9 and its new and exciting and moving forward for our community.

no but netherealm is invested in our community because they foresee the potential to create something great, and if a massive competitive upbringing is created than the potential of becoming a force in the competitive community, something watched like starcraft or lol than that seriously expands their market share. Also SF has a huge community to be tapped into. If they find the balance between marketing towards casual but also satisfy the competitive audience, or even make the casual competitive then they have more sustainable investments and potential for growth. they are an extremely intelligent and open-minded company who got dicked over by a server provider and mk9 and tried real hard to fix that. anyone who can't see their level of concern and effort being paramount is a narrowminded rationalizing fuck. People need to think about intended creativity.

no you don't, you will take unnecessary risks all the time even witht he lifelead, how about you try outplaying someone for once rather than using the same random gimmicks. you try to take the easy way out that it your problem, you can win with ermaic.

To be honest, I take risks to make the game more exciting, it gets boring doing the same thing over and over again.

I'm a lover, not a fighter
My 2 cents and you may not like it.

Like it or not, MK is there not to make hardcore fans 100% happy - it is there to make money.

WELL over 99%+ of the 3 million people who bought the game are not hardcore players. The casual gamer is what they NEED to survive. Ultimately, they are not going to spend lots of time / money for you to be 100% happy with the game. They will make another game so that once again they make money to pay staff and keep the company afloat. Remember that NRS is currently a 1 franchise company (until injustice) unlike Capcom.

This is not to say that they do not care about hardcore players... they made an honest attempt to make it as best they could to make the game tournament viable, which for the most part worked. Are there problems with MK9? Yeah probably... but they did attempt to patch early on.

Ultimately if you do not like MK... don't play it. NRS at the end of the day could not give a shit. The bulk of the people here love the game (including myself). As you said... maybe it is a good idea to find another game.

I didnt say they werent an awesome developer and cater to the community as much as possible. I know they do. They are always in stream chats and even come to tournaments, and they put up a huge prize pot for EVO. Im just saying, dont try to get on their case for making new stuff cause thats what most people will buy. If you make a clone of the game that already exists fans are gonna get pissed (i.e. Gears of War Judgement and EVERY COD game) its just something to think about before you go bashing the company. Its their job to do what WB says and what will make them able to make more and more games first, before they even think about what they wanna do to help us.

Eh, honestly, it might only be cheap against people who don't know that it exists and how to counter it.
But I don't know. I haven't played the game.

the patches were fine jesus christ they have helped out a ton... whats bad from the patches? kung lao is still top tier?

Kung Lao is not top tier, but he is the most balanced top tier character.

They didn't balance the stuff that mattered. Cyrax and Smoke should not have 100% death combos still. What reason was there to nerf Sindel, Kano and Jade? Kung Lao was nerfed, making some of his attacks even more risky, and Kabal was practically left untouched for the whole game. Scorpion who's only game is landing a spear as his normals are awful. I'm surprised they didn't just permanently switch armour on for Jax so that even his standing 1 has hyper armour.

Also, infinites are only a bad thing if they're completely unavoidable. If its an infinite due to a broken gameplay mechanic, then that's a problem. Otherwise, don't get caught in it if you have a problem with it.

On the nycfurby stream they were doing it and they it looked like they were having a hard time countering it 100%.

I can almost guarantee a lot of the stream monsters that were watching are going spread it around to abuse it online.

The problems listed are less a problem with NRS and more a problem with fighting game developers in general: SFIV has a Chun-li infinite and "unblockables", Marvel has infinites and glitches (some were patched out, others weren't), Persona 4 had a Yukiko unblockable setup that was practically inescapable, TTT2 had an infinite or two, it goes on.


It happens.
