Putting aside the quality of the actual games themselves, why does Marvel vs Capcom as a premise work but Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe doesn't?
>>154256747>Mortal Kombat vs DC UniverseMillennials were whining about DC heroes not doing fatalities in that game. That's why we got all those Injustice games instead of MKvsDCU sequels
>>154256747Well, DC is the goofier, more fun comic book company so it is an odd pairing. But it likely didn't work because MK isn't very good.
>>154256747Well it was a 3D fighter made by Neatherrealm so we’re already going kinda south here, it also is slightly a weird pairing, like so was Capcom’s if you were in a storyboard room at first glance i guess but characters actually meshed well like Dante vs Deadpool or Chris Redfield vs Captain America or something, MK doesn’t mesh well with the Worlds finest who go into autism fits about killing people.Gosh… I feel really bad for DC, because one of my most bad ass daydreams was having something an Arcsys DC fighting game with badass anime graphics and rock music, but fuck, we’re already getting that with Marvel Tokon and Netherrealm basically confirmed they’re back on DC, plus WB still canceled that WW game, god that was a bummer for me, like at least let us get a good DC fighting game for christ sake, NR fucking sucks and Injustice ruined Superman and Batman’s main stream look for the entirety of the 2010s
>>154256776But they'd be right about complaining about it, part of Mortal Kombat's appeal is the fatalities
>>154257266>But they'd be right about complaining about it, part of Mortal Kombat's appeal is the fatalitiesIt does makes sense though, cause Superman brutally killing someone after they've been knocked out would be extremely OOC.
>>154256747It does. If MKvsDC had the same quality as MvC it would be just as good.

>>154256747megaman, darkstalkers and street fighter were pretty cartoony in the 90s to begin with. Street Fighter 3 even had characters based on Kikaider and Robot Detective.
>>154257565There was a Street Fighter vs DC game for the PSP that got pitched by the British weebs who made Sudeki but it got shot down
>>154257266>game about brutally gorey fatalities >crosses over with comics who are known for their heriic no kill rules And that's why it doesnt work very well. Maybe if it was all the rogues gallery or Suicide Squad though. A SS vs MK would have been way better than whatever they did to the Arkham games by cramming them in there.
Maybe its just me but I would have crossed them over with the OG New Gods and Darkside.
DC had two fighting game made fors SNES and Genesis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justice_League_Task_Force_(video_game)
>>154256747Mortal Kombat and DC always felt like an odd fit.Marvel vs Capcom worked because both universes have similar tones
>>154256747Netherealm kinda sucks outside gorefest games.
>>154256949>>154256776Pretty much this. MK is respected for being one of the OGs but thats about it. The gameplay of old MK is just not good compared to old SF or (god forbid)to old SNK FGs.
>>154256747Because mvc games are actual fun and mkvsdc was 3d era mk dogshit? The game would’ve been a success if it was just fun to play. If they remake it and have it play like mk9 or mkx it will be successful.
>>154256747DC should never have locked into that self-serious mortal kombat style. Who cares why Batman can beat up Superman? It's not like Rivals tries to explain why Thor and Hulk aren't one-shotting Black Widow or Jeff the Shark. Just give a bunch of characters with cool moves and let them beat each other up. Maybe a smash bros style game instead of mk/sf
Mk vs dc was a dogshit game are you guys retarded. When it was initially announced that shit was hyped the reason it failed is because it was a buggy dogshit mess. My GameStop had a demo version of it pre release and people were lined up to play that shit
>>154256747It's not about the premises working, fucking idiot. It's about the quality of the fighting game itself. That's all. If it was better designed, it'd work.
