>MK is the OG bloody fighter with finishers>still rips off the other oneWhy did they do it? The whole MK3 look is a major KI jerk off. They even tried to copy the chain combos, poorly
Kevin Smith
MK3 was cooler than KI imo
>>12463452MK had cyborg character first with Kano, and SF had native character first with T Hawk. But Fulgore and Cyber Ninjas are both just Predator rip offs mixed with Terminator, and every 90s fighting game had a native. Indians were huge in the 90s for some reason along with the rainforest and dinosaurs MK = martial arts films + other "kewl" media references KI = Throwing together a bunch of action figures from different toy lines>>12463453Glad you're still obsessed schizotroon lmao
>>12463501>Indians were huge in the 90s for some reason along with the rainforest and dinosaursI remember panpipes, do you remember panpipes?
smevin kith
>>12463510Yes
>>12463452Fulgore looks cooler but he'd lose to cyber ninjas because they have too many abilities
>>12463501Both MK & KI also feature a black guy with cybernetic arms and a female government agent, maybe a bit looser there's also a ice man and a reptile in both
>>12463452Killer Instinct sucks.
>>12463452KI was never cool. It's so gay.
>>12463452Japanese fighters rip off each other all the time but nobody debates about that, why?
>>12463501>Indians were huge in the 90s for some reason along with the rainforest and dinosaursnew age stuff, rainforest activism and turok are the sources for this

>>12465475Because weebs get bullied for spergtism
>>12465520Hmmm
Stop taking off your trip Kevin Smith, sick of seeing your shit ass threads
>>12465473>>12465474How are characters like Fulgore, Riptor or Spinal not fucking cool especially for a 90s kid?How is Orchid's ass gay?
>>12465474So the same as mortal kombat.
>>12463452>Why did they do it?they knew they couldn't make anything better than 2
Midway had brand momentum going for them. Also, only one of these series successfully survived the mid-90's.
>>12463452It was pretty bombastic in the arcades - sound wise so boisterous. The cabinet our local arcade had was positioned right next to an UMK3. Both machines ate a lot of coins.
>>12467513>How is Orchid's ass gay?Liking women is gay as heck.
>>12467558MK didn't look like Toy Story, not until ps2 at least lol
>>12467902>mortal kombat is not gay!!!>ninjas wear leotard and pantyhoses.I kek ( =w=)/
>>12468106Oh, you're a ghetto poster who came here 2010s
>>12465474KI had its brief moment of popularity but absolutely no one cared about the sequel and i doubt hardly anyone even knows they made another one on xbox or whatever
>>12469209I honestly played the fuck outta KI2 when it came out and remains a great game to me but yeah KI1 was just the more popular game.I remember when the modern KI came out /v/ liked it but hated the DLC season bullshit
UMK3 is the only remotely decent entry in this series and even that's pretty unfun and janky to play. I played it for about 5 hours on fightcade, landed a C rank, beat the fuck out of the idiot who told me to play it, and had to stop because every single fight was the same. You look at tournaments and it's obvious who these games are made to appeal to, every single person playing these games looks like a real life garbage pail kid. I cannot think of single other game that pairs with trailer trash lifestyle so perfectly and succinctly, except maybe pro wrestling games.
>>12470218We should all read moe anime instead
>>12470218tranny
>>12465520Lots of native stuff has dinosaurs in media because there's a lot of dinosaur bones in north america so people just put the two together for the fuck of it
>>12465475Tangentially related but I want to note that Samurai Shodown directly took inspiration from Mortal Kombat with its blood and gore and finishers I just find it interesting how MK has almost no presence in Japan and yet still had an influence there despite weebs scoffing at it
>>12470607Because video games aren't superficial aesthetics. Additionally, there's only one good samsho, and it's the only one snk didn't make, VSP. Samsho is actually quite an absolutely terrible series of games.
>>12470607there are reverse weeaboos (westaboos) but you need to look for them
>>12471065>VSPtranny game
>>12469209Are you retarded? That "ULTRAAAA COMBOOOO!" from 2013 is one of the most iconic sound clips on the internet. A lot of people know about the modern KI.
>>12470539Most Mk players are troon so the only thing they can say when someone points how shitty mortal kombat is is call them in certain way.But yes mortal kombat is unfun overpraised shit because mutt first american fighting game and nothing else.
>>12470607Nope without searching further street fighter 2 which has blood on original japanese version, then there are tons of more bloody japanese games.In fact no one knew about mortal kombat until the 2nd game in japan and wasn't such a big deal because vampire saviours got released before and mk3 wasn't even translated because again better games in japan at least learn facts before having a verbal diarrea.
>>12469196You don't fucking talk to me like that
>>12472261>street fighter 2 which has blood Some tiny blood spatters and a loser portrait isn't the same thing as bodies being chopped in half and literally making it rain blood as Samsho liked to do, especially as your last fucking move. Not the same thing at a fucking all, straight up a mechanic from MKJaps did know about MK 1, it was just extremely niche rare and had to be imported but if you were a fighting game autist(aka literally making them too) then you probably would've had knowledge of it
>>12470218Fighting games used to be a working man's genre
>>12472281Still mk fags can't claim samurai spirits took inspiration of mk because hokuto no ken games were far bloodier then anything, and street fighter is bloody but again check the original arcade game because you wouldn't say that if you knew.Japanese knew since was translated for snes but sold so few that nobody cared (still have my snes copy of kyukoku shinken) since was quite crappy (kusoge of the year prize) so don't know were you got the whole had to be imported since it dissapeared after mk2 and wasn't translated in japanese after a decade or more because of laws that put quality control on games (if you couldn't play for 10 minutes with a coin then it was illegal to sell said game hence snk games start easy and ramp up near the end but mk cheated since the start to swallow coins hence became illegal, and wasn't because of guro again lot of games far better and more guro then mk like cyber brawl).
At least we can agree that KI 1 & 2 had the better soundtrack
>>12473825cry
>>12472383>but hnk but sfhnk was bloody and goreysf was nowhere near on the same level of blood and gore Very nice of you to completely ignore the core of the topic aka the finishers that Mortal Kombat literally made famous and Samsho obviously followed in its footsteps, the connection wouldn't be made at all without this and of course you ignore this and rambled on about irrelevant shit,also as if game developers are on the same level as random kids. One has more access and knowledge on shit than others
>>12473892Lurk moar anon is clear you nevet play anything besides murrican fagotry games.Finishers? Yes hokuto no ken has finishers either blowing heads, exploding heads, bodies exploding and so on quite common.Samurai sprits just took things from showa samurai dramas and put it in games (the whole cutting the enemy in half at the end just pure showa drama).Let's be honest the only games mortal kombat has inspired are more kusoge with shitty controls and cheap cpu like primal rage, killer instinct, kasumi ninja, war gods, catfight, eternal champions, body blows, but i understand why mk fags want to claim certain japanese games took inspiration of mk because they know the truth that mk has inspired kusoges and nothing else.
>>12474223>Yes hokuto no ken has finishersLow quality bait ignoring gameplay, thanks for wasting my time
>>12472383>because of laws that put quality control on games (if you couldn't play for 10 minutes with a coin then it was illegal to sell said game hence snk games start easy and ramp up near the end but mk cheated since the start to swallow coins hence became illegal, and wasn't because of guro again lot of games far better and more guro then mk like cyber brawl).Huh, is that true or your pulling our legs? No seriously, I want explanation.
>>12472051Hehekekkek, where did you get this?
KI is so much better than MK it's not funny
>>12463452>character archetypesJaps did it too
>>12467804Killer Instinct was 100% an arcade game. Mortal Kombat succeeded where KI didn't because they understood how to modify the game for home consoles and make something fun. Also the characters and balance were just better. Same with SF2. On consoles people mostly played against their friends constantly in 1v1 matches so balance and relative simplicity was key. There is a relatively limited number of people who want to spend hours and hours mastering obscure combos and shit. Back to KI - the arcade machine was awesome and fun to play in the arcade. People who are like 22 years old now don't understand the old arcade experience, which is a fucking shame because it ruled.
>>12472261the blood and fatalities were cool novelties but what people really loved about mortal kombat was subzero freezing people and scorpion throwing the spearhook and raiden zapping lightning.
>>12479535and Kano's shit
