I'm thinking of playing through every MK game, beating arcade mode with every character, playing through any bonus modes, then moving on to the next game, and so on.
Is this a good or bad idea? Has anyone done something similar?

Sega spammer must be having a huge grin sitting in his own piss and shit knowing other people are now going to post MK threads for a while due to the new movie
>>
>Is this a good or bad idea?
You're basically asking us if you like a game.
>Has anyone done something similar?
Lots of people

>beating arcade mode with every character
Armageddon has 60+ characters, bro

Bad. Play MK 1, 2, and dabble in 3 for fun with friends. MK is a party fighter where you emphasize you won the match by ripping your friends head off. Anything past that you should move onto better fighters if you want to get deep into one.

t. love MK but knows the truth
>>
>>12418246
there arent really bonus modes until the ps2 games
>>
>>12418246
There is nothing wrong with your idea if you like fighting games, but is there a reason as to why you picked MK out of all fighting games series? MK is ok but there are plenty of better options like SF, KoF, Tekken, etc. Overall the the japs are better at making fighting games, shaoling monks is fire though.
>>
>>12418246
Horrible idea. MK is awesome to play against another person, but it's absolute BS and unfun to play against the computer. It will cheat, and you can beat it but you have to figure out the specific moves that work against the computer. Good luck. There is probably more productive and fun things you can do with your time.

TRVKE, I didn't remember the SNES version being as hard as the arcade or Midway Arcade Classics port. It's borderline unplayable.

start with og MK
>>
>>12420239
Doesn't really matter if they're not playing competitively though. Part of MKs casual appeal is also just doing crazy moves with like three inputs, it's fun on a casual level


Oddly enough I never remember the arcade modes being so hard, maybe I need to revisit

>>12418246
Beware of the psychic AI, the game is impossible unless you know exactly how to counter it

If you just want a cool arcade solo experience, then I suggest KoF instead, the story progresses across games and some endings only trigger with specific team selections.

Lucky her. Tell her I said love from Hong Kong, thanks

I wouldn’t wish this grind on anyone

I don't think OP understands what an arduous and borderline impossible task this is.

It's not a grind or arduous if you enjoy it!

It's not just that the computer cheats in a "that seemed a little too fast to not be input reading" sort of way. It fucking BLATANTLY cheats in a "it does shit that the human player literally cannot do and isn't shy about it at all" sort of way.

It can be cheesed of course, but jump kick and sweep spam gets old fast and trying to beat the computer "fairly" is a exercise in frustration because at no point is it actually fair.

You are actually insane

I doubt it

>>12433437
how else are you gonna get the whole story? you kinda need to see all the endings and stuff
>inb4 youtube
no
>>
>>12418246
good idea if you are a big fan but don't play all games consecutively or you'll get mk fatigue
>>
>>12437153
What the fuck is that supposed to mean?
>>
>>12433437
Do you just mean because it would be long and tedious or are there specific characters seen as almost impossible to beat it with? I remember when I owned Street Fighter Alpha 3 on PS1 I could beat arcade mode on the highest difficulty with every character except T Hawk and I couldn't even beat it on the lowest difficulty with him lol.

This. The single player game of MK is garbage. It's not impossibly hard, but beating it is just a matter of fucking up the AI. The fun of the series is the crazy chaos of multiplayer, without that it's not worth much.
>>
MK movie marketing team go hard.

>>12437198
He's saying if you play all of them to fast or often then you'll get bored and fatigued by how repetitive it begins to get.
