Wanderer posted:That's actually a shout-out to this weird direct-to-video animated movie from late last year, Snow Blind. It's set in a post-apocalyptic Earth where the Black Dragon's taken charge and Kenshi's the only one trying to fight them. It's really loving bizarre because it isn't well-explained, so if you haven't played MK11, it doesn't make a lick of sense. McTimmy posted:Now that Rain is a wizard we can get Hydro in as a ninja. I love that as lovely as the Malibu MK comics were, everyone just agrees that Hydro was a design worthy of showing up in the actual games. Though Wanderer and I have both wanted to see them bring in Bo, Johnny Cage's gargantuan bodyguard. He was fun. widespread posted:Guess someone would be right in saying that Raiden taught Liu Kang how to gently caress up. I want the ending of MK1 to be an alternate take of MK9 where things go to poo poo and Liu Kang realizes he completely hosed up as Earth's protector god. The difference being that when Shao Kahn's death justifies everything, it's because Shao Kahn pulls off a heroic sacrifice against the true threat.

I'm kind of hoping that whatever happens is still somehow Raiden's fault.

Raiden made Liu Kang a god so we don’t really need to even walk that far to keep blaming Raiden for everything.

What if instead, Raiden realizes he might have hosed up in making Liu Kang a god and he goes back to the events of the first game just to blatantly kill Shang Tsung and Goro on the spot. But since it's MK, that in turn causes a whole other issue to come up somehow. Maybe Shao Kahn just invades Earth outright and kicks aside any notion of tournaments in favor of simply sending it.

It should lead to the original MK storyline and ending for Raiden by having it expand into a huge god civil war that destroys the planet.

I will never forgive the variations system. Its bad enough all the new characters were lame, but you cant even properly use the klassic ones because their movesets were split up into 3 modes. Stupid. I've always wondered why they cant use an updated version of the tech they used for the original 2D games to create photorealistic sprites. Ed did allude to a full fledged remaster (not that disgraceful arcade kollection) being in production years ago but halting, and saying he might one day explain why, but he never has.

9 is mechanically solid but also pretty boring. I never had the urge to go back to it after a sequel came out like I did with X or UMK3. I liked 11 a lot, too, and don't really understand why everyone hates it. Is it because of the gear system? Because the gear system sucks, I agree.

it's because it's too slow and the kharacters are a bit samey. lots of midscreen footsies dudes. MKX had a lot of high/low mixup kharacters and fast gameplay w/ the run button and a lot of ppl prefer that

I didn't really notice people complaining about 11 until around when Aftermath came out and this being the internet most people's complaints were just "It sucks" so I figured there was some late-game balance change that affected high-level play or something.

Something that stuck with me from the MK9 hype cycle was that the c(k)osplayer they got for MK9 Mileena had to be sewn into the outfit. There was no other way to make it stay on a human body.

There are MK porno parodies that would look at Sonya’s top in MK9 and say “come on now that’s a bit over the top don’t you think?” Her badge should say SPECIAL FORCES AGENT NASTY on it

They're now pointing at SF6 and going "See, Capcom made their characters sexy, why can't you NRS?!?" while ignoring that most characters' outfits in SF6 are also functional

I'd settle for fighting games not being super weird about their young girl characters at this point. Though I guess MK isn't super into that.

MK11 let you completely alter Sonya being voice acted by Ronda Rousey and completely change her into Bridgette Wilson circa 1995. So going back in time would erase this and that's lame.
