What's your favorite Mortal Kombat?

[iammud]

So, what's your favorite Mortal Kombat?

Personally, I think Mortal Kombat 2 is the best, followed by umk3.

 

[ZAQ]

4/Gold, 2

 

[iammud]

hahaha, yeah right... you can file zaq under umk3 junky

 

[[MKII]Scorpion]

I love MKII, MK Trilogy and MK Deadly Alliance... but if I would go to hell and they let me take one game to play for my eternal stay... that would be MKII.

UMK3 is the best MK game ever made, period.

For nostalgia tho, its MKII. Modern MK games, Shaolin Monks was the shit ;D

Word Tim! I've been playing Shaolin Monks all over again this weekend and it's always entertaining! (especially the cutscene acting and dialogue lol!)

My personal fave mk is II though. That game is just legendary.

 

[iammud]

Hrmm, should I add shaolin monks to the list? It was a great game...

 

[Dreamcatcher]

The best is UMK3, MK2 would have a chance if gameplay wasn't literally as slow as chess.

 

[soultaker]

I totally agree!

I also don't understand how a lot of the MK1 players haven't at least tried to get into it.

When you play against players that do nothing but run from you, you are no longer playing a fighting game,i guess the game is turning into a "hit and run" ,and chase the player...

MK2 above all in my book, well I like umk3 almost as much though, eventhough playing it makes go $#@! some times hehe

 

[The End]

MKII used to be my favorite, but it seems like most MKII players these days like to sit across the screen and throw projectiles to try to make you walk up to or jump at them. No fun at all, so I stick to UMK3 now.

UMK3 FTW.

 

[Dreadish]

mk1 OF COURSE! since 1992 =_= (i agree with "The End" dude; about mk2 gameplay online being shitty as hell)
MK1 is da shit for me as it always was : close combat, cancels; min abuse ability; balanced; still too damn enjoyable too play after 15 years of its release

MK2 is fun as long as you play the right people.
When you play against players that do nothing but run from you, you are no longer playing a fighting game.

All fighting game developers should understand this by now.
It is also the reason why UMK3 is loved by so many. Try naming another fighter that is as aggressive as UMK3.

I also don't understand how a lot of the MK2 players on this site haven't at least tried to get into it.

I'm an mk2 guy and I've played umk3 back in the 'cades but was never really good at it. I'm decent but I couldn't adjust to the changes in timing/physics in umk3 (ie. regular moves like rhk or combos like kitana's fan lift combo). The change in the theme's direction didn't really help either. The transition from mythical martial arts into a post apocalyptic sci-fi setting just took away from what made mk1 and 2 special. Umk3 is still a lot of fun - I play it all the time and sometimes more often than mk2 but I like the simplicity of mk2 and even in it's simplicity I find there still a lot of strategy involved that players tend to overlook.

 

[dookiebrain]

i play mk1, mk2, umk3. mk2 is by far my favorite.

 

[dookiebrain]

i honestly think mk2 is the best game mankind has ever created, seriously. i really do,lol

 

[MaDWaK]

when It comes to fighting games my style is the more faster paced ones, hence why I play umk3 the most.

Same reason for me.

 

[frznsldr]

mk2 ill b teaching my grandkids this fuckn game.

 

[Tim Static]

I remember the very first time I played mk3 I was like "FUCK YEAH KANO!" and I picked him and someone picked sektor and just spammed the homing missile.... lol
(seriously fuckin trying playing against a spamming sektor without knowing how to use the run button)

I almost never started playing it after that, I really thought missile shooting robots would never be a part of MK at all, and the art was terrible and just completely unpolished.
Decapitations that just look like someone literally did a cut and paste of a gif and moved it to the floor. The sounds also aren't anywhere near as good as MK2.

And I agree with that, just because there is more content in a game, doesn't necessarily make it a better game.

I totally agree. I totally thought the "robots" were fucking retarded at first, and the fat's are pathetic. But the gameplay is way too good in UMK3.

 

[PK Denis]

Deadly Alliance, followed by MK2.

[RollTide8569]

im currently learning how to play UMK3 and i like it, I just got it yesterday any tips

 

[Dreamcatcher]

Here's a tip: Pick Kabal and do cool punch blocks.

 

[AriaDelano]

I lost the most money to mk2, so mk2 > all....But I do like umk3, just never stuck around long enough to get good.

I also agree with mk2 being the best when there are 2 aggressive players, when you have to chase someone all over, makes the game a drag!
