This game is simplistic as far as the moves go, but that doesn't mean there's not a metagame and strategy involved just like any other fighting game. Most people on this site could play this game all day for a year and still not reach a high level of play. I know you wouldn't think it by watching videos, but it takes a long ass time to master.
did you say negative edge?
Don't you sass me
There's also much more than 6 moves per character. A few characters do share normal moves, but for the most part, all of the normals have different animations and hitboxes, so the timing and range is different for most.
Have you ever even played this game?
Imo, this game has the truest form of combos there are. Juggles. No silly string/ dial a combos. The juggles are just extremely difficult to set up against good players.
lol
Thanks. I'm glad some of the new age guys can appreciate it.
Thank you. It's really hard to showcase certain things against good players. I could show you all kinds of stuff against average joes, but not against btbb.I love this stuff. I'm seeing stuff that I haven't seen in mkII before.Really nice to see some people playing this game.
I understand it's high level play and also grasp the fact that I would not be able to sit down and beat you. That said, given the very, very limited amount of moves, it would be far easier to achieve a high level of play due to the limited amount of frame data you need to understand opposed to a game like SFIV or MK9.
The moves, frame data, and juggles are definitely easier to learn than the current fighters, but that doesn't really equate to being easier as a whole. I've never seen anyone in the community reach a high level of play in MK2 in less than probably 18 months of solid competitive play. It's hard to explain, but in some cases, the limited options make it more difficult.I understand it's high level play and also grasp the fact that I would not be able to sit down and beat you.

I'm just razzing this post because it's not entertaining to watch, though I still respect it and the players that play it at a high level and get hype for it.
That all said, it's pretty boring to watch
Come on. MK2 does not rate "extremely high" on the "best strategy game ever created" scale.
He said chess like strategy, which MK2 is higher than MK9 in that regard.
Keep in mind I never said MK9 or SFIV was a higher quality fighting game. It's simply more entertaining.
