Do you think MK11 seems too similar to injustice?

[igotAhalo]

From watching the gameplay reveal and now watching the exhibition matches, it seems like many people are saying that mk11 is more like injustice and less like mortal kombat. From my point of view, mk11 does look, and in some aspects plays, more like injustice 2 and less like mkx. I'm not sure how I feel about this as I don't really like injustice, but what are your guys thoughts?

Neither. Its gonna be its own game.
But, it does look more cinematic, like Injustice 2. If thats what you mean.

 

[Skedar70]

Yup. Looks like injustice movement. Slow compared to MKX. Lets see. I really hope it doesn't turn into a zoning snooze fest like injustice 2 was.

I mean it looks similar to injustice 2, it's much slower, I'm not sure exactly the specifics but I get an injustice vibe from it. Most people on any chat I read said the same thing

 

[Crimea]

for now it looks like a heavy zoning game

 

[Raider]

Yes it does.
It looks slower than any MK. Too much slow motion crap during the match, gear...

 

[TackyHaddock]

Disappointed as of now. Hopefully there will be some characters with better mobility

 

[HeavyNorse]

I think it looks like it has elements from both.
Considering Injustice 2 was so praised for how much better its graphics were compared to MKX, I can understand why MK11 has that same feel. NRS keeps evolving from game to game, so it makes sense why the game might appear closer to I2 than MKX as I2 was a step up from MKX, and MK11 is then the next step up from I2.

MKX also appeared more like Injustice 1 than MK9. That's just how it works.

MK has some features that are very different, like block button, and 4 buttons for punch and kick moves and this alone guarantees it has no similarity with Injustice 2 gameplay

Yea I hope not. I liked the fast pace aggressiveness in MKX. I don't mind it being slowed down because run is gone, but I hope it's not too much like injustice. I understand it's early, and so far I love how MK11 has come out, but I just hope what I've seen so far doesn't = injustice mortal kombat lol

 

[Dankster Morgan]

MK should be so lucky as to play closer to Injustice

Also, I don't like how they have so many more in-match xray type animations - that is going to get very old very fast when you are grinding long sets

I can see your point, but this doesn't bother me too much. It's just everything else, it just seems so slower and the combo animations seem so much like injustice 2. I'm probably wrong (which I want to be). I think because the art style and graphics look so much like injustice 2, it's kind of blinding me

I thought dash blocking was back.. or it seemed very slow compared to mk9. Also I think a huuuuuuuuuge mistake was having the max distance between characters be like injustice and not like mkx

 

[Peter Quill]

I mean, beyond the gear and variations this resembles neither game very much. It looks like it is an entirely different beast when it comes to kombat.

That’s actually a good point.

No running and decreased dashing plus big stages and spaces is a good combination for some serious zoning issues. Could be interesting to see how this progresses

 

[Freestyle Disco]

Watching the little tournament thing with the pros I was surprised at how much of an I2 vibe I got from it. The more zoomed out camera, the slower pace of movement, greater presence of zoning (over MKX), the art style and intros made it feel a lot more injustice-like. Bit sad run seems to have disappeared too! That said, until we get to play it it’s hard to say.

 

[FatalTragedy]

I’m getting total injustice vibes from these streams which is a shame because I didn’t care for injustice at all. Hoping I feel differently when I get to finally play.

 

[dribirut]

Greater zoom out for game should equal run mechanic. Less zoom should equal dash block mechanic..

 

[M2Dave]

Rush down fools are already freaking out. LOL.

 

[Baconlord]

I mean injustice 2 is like 50 times better then mkx so this is a good thing in my eyes

 

[igotAhalo]

Rush down fools are already freaking out. LOL.

I'm not even a rush down guy, I mained ninjutsu scorpion in X. I just like mkx being fast paced and aggressive from a spectator standpoint.

 

[xWildx]

How quickly we forget how much zoning was in MK9. Sorry this game doesn’t seem to be based on “who can get their 50/50 going first?” like MKX was.

 

[Slymind]

Im thinking more MK9 to be honest.

Also, will the individual builds be legal in tournaments or only the base will be used?
