My biggest concern about this game is the stage gimmicks, and how that will take away from focusing on the characters and their initial move sets. If your goal is to make all the characters in the game diverse from one another...then the stages they fight on should have very little to do with balance.
This game (from how Ed Boon explained it in the interview) reminds me waaaay too much like Smash Bros.
I don't want a Smash Brothers game from NRS (unless NRS is pulling a Sakurai and PURPOSELY making this game non competitive)!
Besides we already have stupid ass Playstation All Stars coming out later this year. -__-
Anyways...
I WANT a quality fighting game...a competitive fighting games...a respected fighting game from fellow FGC scenes...FROM NRS.
I'll buy this game on day one for 2 reasons:
- This is a 100% pure DC fighting game (which hasn't been done in a long time)
- I want to support NRS
That's where it ends.
About MK9:
I am extremely disappointed that MK9 is being left in its current state. It's literally a patch or two away from being 100% PERFECT. Don't give me this "But, but, what about the $$$ NRS is pouring into EVO, or MLG, etc. etc"
...I don't give a shit about that crap. I really DON'T!
If it was up to me, I'd GLADLY strip EVO of it's 20k pot bonus and all the extra money MLG is getting for MK...
TO FURTHER BALANCE MK9, REMOVE GLITCHES, AND ENHANCED THE NETCODE.
The most beneficial thing MK9 and its scene needs is LONGEVITY (a good example of that is ST...people STILL play that game cause of all the revisions it kept getting until done right).
It will give people a reason to give a fuck about the NEXT MK game (their true money maker, and what's memorable in the FGC).
Fuck Injustice: GAU...real talk!!! FGC is gonna treat that game like all the other RANDOM/POVERTY fighting games released lately...and not a single fuck be given.
YOU READ IT HERE FIRST.
Without MK9 getting the help it needs, eventually these OTHER FIGHTING GAMES (especially the new ones coming out) are gonna give folks the green light to DROP MK9 and MOVE ON. Because MK9 is gonna get more and more exposed to being the glitchty (input bug/random advantage), unbalanced (kabal, shitty characters), cluster fuck (pretending there's not a real problem) that it IS and most of us are putting up with. And the only people who will continue to play it (including me lol), are the 24 or so loyal in a dark corner at tournaments. Think of the UMK3 days BEFORE MK9 was released.
Forgive me for saying the shit some people don't want to hear. *hand jerk*
Yes! MK9 is better than it's vanilla form. Yes! I appreciate that. But NO!...HELL FUCKING NO! I do not think that NRS should 100% leave this game alone where it is. If you're going to be done with this game...FINISH IT AND FUCKING PATCH/FINISH IT RIGHT.
I mean...look at MK Vita. -__-
/end rant...yay Injustice? :/
