MKX: All-in-one characters mode?

[NkdSingularity]

I think it could be awesome if NRS includes a game-mode where characters have all the moves of their variations available.

By adding a style switch button that can be used to cancel strings and has little or no recovery a great number of options would be opened to the player for combos, pressure, and set-ups. This would create a completely bonkers playing experience that would be markedly different from the standard game.

Balancing this mode would be sufficiently difficult to discourage trying at all, therefore this probably wouldn't be played competitively. It would be a purely casual (Gasp!) experience.

Your thoughts please?

Keep it specific to Training Mode just for the purpose of showing off some flashy shit. =P

Another user, Belial, propose this for balance purposes but I think it could end like always with some chars having best tools over all than others or some chars being competent at everything; what I suggest is having the system of Chaos Code where you can choose a number "x" of specials from a set of "y" before each match, so you customize your char style for every fight without being restricted to just 3 fixed styles.

That would be awesome as a fun change of pace

There almost surely would be super broken shit if this were to happen lol let it rock

 

[ShotgunInsanity]

I'm pretty sure this would be incredibly broken

 

[trufenix]

So obliterate balance so casual battles can be needlessly complex? No thanks.

 

[Eldriken]

I would wager that there would be plenty of 8-2 and 9-1 MUs to go around. Who the hell would ever want to deal with that?

I agree it would stop people from having to go to character select screens every time they are trying something new.

 

[AK L0rdoftheFLY]

Imagine MK Deception with different specials and some mechanic improvements.

Kombat Code + Player match only!

 

[EarlyReflections]

I think this renders the whole variations aspect useless.
And the brokeness? oh my... We gonna see Kabals high on cocaine

However I can see it coming in a "test your luck" kind of game mode.

I don't think he's suggesting we change the overall game to be this.

 

[Mechacide]

I'm all for options. If it's too broken for people, they don't need to play.

People who don't play fighting games enough to even know what a matchup is. I say go for it, it could be a lot of fun like tag was

I don't think they want to undercut the primary innovation of their game, even for a extra mode.

How can players complain about "wasting time and space" on tag mode, but promote this?

I'd imagine that those supporting this weren't against Tag, I myself play Tag in MK9 quite often.

This.

 

[Treadmill]

Yeah I hate options and fun too.

*thinks about all the jade and Cyborg players*

 

[Flagg]

Let's also have a mode where we can have infinite meter and infinite run and have it in tournies as that would be really neat!

 

[Error]

One problem I could see with this is what if there are specials mapped to the same command in different variations, or what if one special in one variation has different properties in another?

If there are stance changes then this wouldn't be an issue

 

[Tony at Home]

This would be ridiculously broke like tag.

I want it.

Seems like a lot of people aren't actually reading/comprehending the OP.
