now that is one deadly alliance
>>737646294Mortal Kombat has the best character designs ever but the gameplay fucking sucks. Titan Havik is so fucking cool
>>737646427everything about mk is sick except for the gameplay>the characters>the world building>the lore>the fatalitiesI've been fantasizing about an arcsys style 2d airdasher fighting game for MK for years and it makes me sad that its stuck with NRS
>>737646578I have no idea how MK managed to last this long with God awful gameplay. Ed is a hack and should retire. Honestly Ed should've just stuck with single player games instead of fighting games.
Kabal is my favorite.
ENTER
>>737646993I fucking love Shredder Sub Zero.
Fuck you I liked him
>>737646806you just made me think that a MK musou would be the best idea ever.NRS is so fraudulent lmao, 80% of the roster in these games are shaolin monks and ninjas and yet everyone moves like they had double knee surgery
>>737647230Me too. MK has the best monster designs in fighting games.
>>737646427>>737646578>>737646806What would you change about "the gameplay"? Alot of complaining without suggesting solutions
>>737647286Honestly the best MK game is Shaolin Monks. This is probably Ed's masterpiece.
>>737647327raise the speed a lot, remove strings, remove the block button, add air dashes
WULAY
>>737647327Just copy Street Fighter. Keep everything else, the gore the edgy designs but leave the block button behind that shit is ass. >But scorpion is going to be OP without block button Aki and Baiken exist.
Choose your Destiny
>>737646427I thought the gameplay in MK1 was the best the game has been. I love the air combos, the juggling, the amount of times you can juggle combo someone compared to the limited amount in MK11.
>>737647327Also leave the western shit behind. I don't care for special forces, Mortal Kombat is at its best when it's a dark Asian/Chinese fantasy world. All the best characters are Chinese or Japanese, besides Johnny all the western characters are super lame.
>>737647608Combos are way to janky. It doesn't feel good.
comfy "making of"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVwCOgYyHPkwhen studio teams were small
>>737647674you have to keep the special forces, they're an essential part of the vibe. they're the normal people wrapped up in chinese horror kung fu hell. also jax is epic
>>737647608I guess the only good MK fighter is X and that's because the multiple play styles for each character is unique and no other fighter has that. That's probably the greatest idea Ed ever had.
>>737647836Jax is generic military guy, he's just that black dude from predator. The only cool western characters are the black dragon like Kano and Kabal. Johnny is the exception. Sonya, Jax, Jacqui, Cassie they are all boring and lame. Cassie gets extra points cause she's super hot.
Why did the PS2 era Mk games shit on Liu Kang so hard
>>737648049Ed likes to be different from street fighter, killing the literal hero and mascot of the franchise was unheard of in gaming back then and I remember feeling mad they did that. Lui Kang is my favorite fighting game character cause I grew up on Bruce Lee.
>>737648049He was shit on in 9 and X. His past self before death became the main character of the franchise going forward. For better or worse.Now it's multiverse shit so it doesn't matter really
NRS is good at one thing, they have insanely good models and animations. The animalities from the MK1 DLC are literally the best animals i've ever seen in a video game https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9oqf0H3MmM
>>737648208Shame, his new era look is sick. He looks so cool now.
>>737648049Sorry CHANG! The true main character of the MK games is Japanese hero Scorpion.
>>737648308No he isn't. He's just Ed's favorite because he likes the spear move and he voiced him. Liu Kang is the hero of Mortal Kombat and will always be.
mk actually has 3 main characters, johnny cage, liu kang and sub zero
>>737648498No, it's actually Lui Kang, Kung Lao, Raiden and Johnny Cage. None of the ninjas are heroes.
>>737648308Mortal Kombat is more Chinese than Japanese.
POLICE BRUTALITY COMING UP
zombie Lui Kang is so cool.
>>737648782
>>737648782Why does he hate mileena so much?
>>737646294For some reason my brain registered that as Count Dracula and Orlok....I'd rather see that team-up.
>>737646294Dude, watching (the hero) Liu Kang get killed in the opening traumatized 10-year-old me lmao.
>>737649292Same. It hurt because Lui is my main.
Would you give Mileena a child anons?
>>737648308Not anymore not that Ed Boon made Scorpion Chinese to appeal to Emperor Pooh.
>>737647881From MK9 and now, MKX is my least favorite. I thought the game's design was ugly and brown. My only saving grace was maining Sub-Zero for the first time in history.
what the fuck was up with reptiles design in this game
>>737646427Funny you say Titan Havik is cool, I believe he was the exact character that jumped the shark. Moreso than Onaga and Blaze even. >You took down the God of Time and Space>But you still have to deal with ME!!!!It was as hilarious as Yugioh Abridged's Emperor Mokuba moment if you've heard of that.
If they rebooted MK again but this time it's an anime fighter like Tokon would it be based or cringe?Bump
Quan Chi is a pathetic jobber in basically every game... The fact that so many characters are specifically out to get him or his amulet just make me feel bad for the guy. At least Shang still gets respect for being the og big bad and for being a very unique character to play but Quan has none of that.
>>737651436quan chi is the coolest nigga in mk, shame
>>737647465HABIDOBADAY
>>737646427MK1 had the worst art direction and the gameplay is good, other fighting games make their characters freeze for half a second after every successful hit and it looks like shit
