I get annoyed when the bashing is backed up with things that are untrue. Someone says something, its completely offbase, others read it and believe it, and that's just unfortunate.
I also get a bit ticked when people are simply closed minded. I've given every fighting game I have had access to a chance. I've played all the SFs a bunch, the marvel games, SNK games, tekken, soul, VF, GG, EFZ, whatever. I can usually find some redeeming quality in them that helps me understand why people are fans. But then I see someone say UMK3 has to be bad because it has a block button and a run button, and those are things that you are supposed to do with the joystick. Because apparently there was a decision made for there to be 1 way to do it, and only that way can be correct, because that's what a portion of the fighting game community is accustomed to.
And I have to say, the UMK3 bashing is really kicking in with MK2 coming out for PS3. I can't stand when people invent things to say about the games out of a need to justify what they like. If you enjoy playing MK2 more than UMK3, go for it. But don't start making up stuff about MK2 being more balanced because Sheeva has overpowered hits O.O and stupid stuff like that.
In the end, there are a lot of people that know almost nothing about fighting games, but love MK, and they bring down the wrath of all serious fighting game fans upon the series. The series doesn't help since its almost all got trash gameplay. And so MK will forever be a joke, and it will continue to get bashed. Such is life. I'm gonna go play UMK3 now :-D
