Is there a good reason to play MK1 when 2 exists?
better atmosphere and aesthetics
>>11346982respectfully disagree
shoudnt the shadows change size when you not stay the same if you is nthe air
>>11346994Try again but in English this time, doc
>>11346975I like the simplicity of 1. Something satisfying about the push-and-pull of a fight when you get through your opponent's blocks. Also, if you're playing by yourself, the AI isn't ridiculous like it is in MKII.
>>11346975>Is there a good reason to play MK1 when 2 exists?It has a serious tone which is pretty unique to this entry considering the rest of the series.
>>11346975original mk has big dick energy
>>11346982This by far
>>11346982>>11346986MK1 = pretty standard kung fu looking shit since it's Shang Tsungs islandMK2 = more dark and fantastical stages because it revolves around OutworldMK3 = mix of gritty urban and fantastical since it's Outworld invading Earth
MK3 was when the series went full retard
>>11346982Agreed, though I like MK II just fine. MK I's supernatural Enter The Dragon thing is really cool.
>>11346975Yes. Without MK1, there is no MK2. Plus it's just as fun, despite there being less characters to choose from.
>>11346986I respectfully punch you
>>11346975Mega Drive version still kick shithttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QxifaJ-c-w0&list=PL2QIm882iA75qR6jaG088WGxyNo6wXqDC
>>11346975I remember MK1 had a shitton of fun glitches to fuck around with. I think MK2 and 3 had quite a few as well, of course.
>>11348795I have the vaguest memory of some creepy glitch (or maybe glitches plural) on the SNES port in the throne room stage specifically. I can't remember what it was, if it happened more than once or if it was something that seemed like it could only happen in the throne room.
>>11348795a simple but fun one i used to do on mk1 genesis was to throw the opponent when "finish him" popped up with scorpion then you could immediately press up up to do the fatality, and he would burn them while they were laying on the ground
>>11346975I like the campy, but not overly silly martial arts b-movie schtick MK1 has going for it. The FM synth music in the DOS and Genesis versions is pretty good too.
>>11346975The cpu isn't as cheap as 2.
>>11346975MK1 arcade version is better than 2
>>11346975The arcade version of MK1 is superior.
>>11346994They shouldn't change size in absolute terms because the light source (the Sun preumably) is very far away. But they should look smaller from our pov because they should move farther away from the direction of the light source (the Sun, presumably), which is behind us.
>>11347000>MK1 AI isn't ridiculous like it is in MKIIThis. MK1 AI is better, but only if you compare the arcade AI. MK2 still is the best for consoles. MK2 impossible to beat AI was only meant for the arcades for money grabbing like most arcade ports are.
I for one like MK1 Sonya more than MK3 Sonya
>>11346975MK1 music is darkerGoro is more intimidating than KintaroMK1 has kino button mashing bonus stages
>>11353972TEST YOUR MIGHT
>>11353812I don't know, I own it on SNES and I recall the AI being pretty impossible there, too.
I don't think Mortal Kombat is a very good series.
>>11352240>make cool shit like Shao Kahn for single player>locked behind the trash mode that is MK2 single player
>>11355798I also owned on SNES. There are 5 difficulty modes on that MK2, and I was able to finish the game with nearly every character in "very easy" mode while being only 12 years old.
>>11346975Is there any reason to play 2 when 3 exists?
>>113574413 is a downgrade. They added lots of unnecessary craps like dial-up combos to compete with other fighters at the time. But MK was never meant to turn into a Street Fighter.
