New Mortal Kombat

[qwerty]

Soul Calibur has a block button.

Take that as you will.

yes soul calibur the pinnacle of the fighting game genre and according to metacritic the third best game ever is clearly what everyone should strive to make their game like

ps i seriously hope nobody is actually looking forward to this i mean mk hasnt even had an arcade release since god knows when

[Tsuki Garyuu]

I liked Johnny Cage....and his 300 dollar sunglasses.

500 dollar sunglasses......asshole.

Take that as you will.

Soul Calibur also has a reason to HAVE a block button. MK can't even claim that.

Not sure what to make of the trailer, its interesting, but at the same time the whole deadly alliances thing just pissed me off. Fool me once shame on you sorta deal...

[DoomieJ]

Looks interesting.

UMK3 is still the best MK though.

[Taokaka_Boom!]

I'm super hyped about it looks really good

I really want to see the friendships back in action

cyrax:up up up run BEST FRIENDSHIP EVER

[Kyosuke Kagami]

I think someone made a typo and wrote "UMK" instead of "MK2"

QFT. Hilariously broken, too.

Kyo- MKII is the IInd best MK.

Nah, i got it right.

Cyborg Smoke FTW.

[mAc Chaos]

MK2 was always my favorite. MK3 was good but I felt like MK2 was the series' peak.

I always played Reptile in MKII and (cyborg) Smoke in MKIII.

Soul Calibur 1&2 has a block button.

Take that as you will.

Fixed.

[ZONG_one]

Fixed.

So does 4.

[SH-Junkie]

I always loved Trilogy. Rain ftw

[ZONG_one]

I always loved Trilogy. Rain ftw

It's tied with 3. Hell, it's the same fuckin' game.

[-Ladon-]

So does 4.

the whole series did, that fix made no sense

[Kyosuke Kagami]

Nah, i got it right.

Cyborg Smoke FTW.

NO, YOU GOT SOME SERIOUS DISLEXIA ISSUES SON

MK Trilogy was alright, just because of the amount of characters and the removal of annoying gimmicks. Not something I'd play for more than 2 hours, though.

[mAc Chaos]

Mortal Kombat 1 was awesome. Goro was so hard. Although I wonder if that game was as hard as I remember, or if it was only because I was like six. Older games definitely are harder though.

[ZONG_one]

I thought so.

I just wasn't sure, since I've never played 3.

It's hard because the AI was stupid and the controls were laggy.

[shezmu]

So does 4.

I was pointing out the SCs said to be the good ones so people don't say "SC sucks so who cares".

[IronTager]

Alright guys, here's my theory. All they need to do is take this new Mortal Kombat and make it not suck. But seriously, here's what I think they should do.

1. Personally, I've never really liked the block system in Mortal Kombat. I think they should go the tradition way. (Pressing back)

2. Make sure the game is actually balanced.

3. Try to solidify the game instead of trying to make it seem extra flashy and such. I mean, flash is cool, but they should honestly try to make the game not so rugged and flimsy.

4. They usually make Mortal Kombat very cheesy. They should probably keep it that way, but tone it down a little.

5. Set the controls to a standard way too cause their kick buttons use to be in weird places, along with other buttons and such. Normal button setups would be nice.

These are just a few things. It looks kinda cool so far.

[Blade]

Trilogy would've been better if they'd have sped up the music on the PSone version. But the A.I. was really retarded regardless.

Jump backwards j.P -> A.I. throws projectile

Jump forwards -> A.I. does short j.K

Walk forwards -> A.I. walks backwards

Walk backwards -> A.I. walks forwards

lol

how else are you supposed to buffer directional inputs without giving up your guard?

You're kidding me right? Did you ever NOT use the rain lightnings your ass over and over again to victory trick? I'm not kidding that shit was RETARDED. Just time your bolts so you could hit them as they land, and it'd launch them right back up. They had NO FUCKING CHANCE as soon as you got off the first bolt.

And Qwerty, you're also forgetting Parry and the two throw system. But that's getting into mechanics. Who needs facts when you troll

[Hecatom]

1st mk in years that got me interested, maybe i would buy it, hell i bought ssf4 why not mk9

Rain was retarded in SNES UMK because he was like... rushed.

In MKT he felt slower. Also, the thunder shit, for some reason, wasn't as abusable.
