MK:A like MKT, was a rush job. Except MKT was based on a better engine while MK:A is based on, well, two games before it that had the MK brand on it, but didnt play like or feel like a MK game.
MK
A was the only #-d MK that was actallu fun to play. And the Konquest on the MK
was one of my most favorite things on any MK game. The MK:A konquest, not so much.
MKA is not like MKT because MKA wasn't really rushed, MKD was a lot more rushed. Proof is this, no wake up, no counter moves(parries, reversals etc) and MKD is all 50/50's nothing else.
MKA improved on MKD's problems, believe me. They got rid of most plants that would give you easy FT's in MKD, wake up helps drastically it's not even funny.
Parries help the 50/50 onslaught highs, mids and even some lows.
Just because something doesn't feel or play like an MK game to you doesn't mean it's not an MK game.
When I first placed MK
A I hated it, the first day then I got used to it.
You adapt, or you don't. MK
and MK:A are fun to play too, IF you get into it. MK
A most on MKO don't even know of nor play, with the exception of people on this site and guys like myself that play ALL MK games, not just one or two.
Some people like 2d, others 3d and some both.
On what Dreemer said, yeah man that's exactly what I'm saying dude. Just because a game might have a few broken characters or KAK doesn't mean it can't be fun to play or can't be played at high level.
I have vids to prove this of myself as well as other players anyway if you guys really wanted to see how high level play is done in MKD/MKA.
MKA especially. Nobody uses KAK anymore though, it seemed to be a 1st few month trend, now unless you're just a casual player nobody will use KAK.
KAK vs. KAK can be fun but it's a match of brokeness lol.
Bosses except Kahn and Goro are all banned from play, well serious play anyway.
Similiar situation with Tekken PSP, there's a dude in there that's broken. I'm not sure if it's Tekken 5 or Tekken PSP version, it's one of them. They just ban that character in tekken tournaments.
In SF3, Cyber Akuma or whatever his name is, is really powerful some believe too powerful.
In MK
Bo and Dairou own the whole game, followed by N/S. Not denying that. Therefore it's not too much fun after a while.
In MKA there's the wake up, parries added and more balanced then MKD is believe it or not even though it has more characters.
Just want to let you know Tim Static, I'm not just saying this out of mere opinion but lots of experience. Guys like dreemer, shock, frankie etc the time they put into UMK3 I've put into the 3D games. I think last time I checked I had 8, 000+ wins/matches in MKD alone and that was on one account. So, yeah I put in a lot of time in the newer ones. MKA replenishes monthly so it doesn't save your total but I keep track I have close to 7, 000 matches at this point online.
MK
A I just beat like a million times, since it's not online sadly ya know?
I do hope it does go online, I'll definitely like to play you guys.
