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.

exquisite tea posted:Li Mei looks sick. I wanna take a ride on your disco stick Re: the post on the last page about scummy practices, yeah I wish Ed, being one of the OGs of the industry would have bucked that trend, but instead embraces and pioneers the roguery of DLC. Announcing DLC characters before the game or even the base roster is even released is a huge slap in the face

Who is everyone besides reptile? Not really a fair evaluation seeing I watched it on my phone but the sfx seem very bad.

I didn't like the last 2 games due to the variation system, and the kameos are kind of throwing me off so I ended up trying SF6, my first real foray into that franchise besides the most casual of time spent in the old days. I just couldn't make sense of the rules. Struggled making it out of bronze until the other night when I just decided it was all more frustration than it was worth. First time I've ever really backed down and given up on a game. So I guess now my focus is back on MK1 again. MK2 makes up about 80% of my fighting experience, I was pretty serious about it from 07-12 or so. But I guess there isn't going to be much that will apply here. One of the big things in SF6 I struggled with was blocking, so used to MK2 where down+back was all you had to do, couldn't even be thrown. Now having to decide whether to block high or low or to get ready for a throw, I found it hard to judge, especially seeing there seemed to be something of a delay. Its like its not enough to be holding down+back if a low attack is coming in, you already need to be crouched before it hits for it to block. Which I guess isn't illogical but its not what I'm used to. Is this carrying a lot of gameplay mechanics over from 11?

Are you guys mad? They are totally trying to recapture the whole Mortal Monday vibe and it works. I dunno if the game will be any good but this commercial is hype.

Making MK into prestige television, now that would be hard. Though they did very well with that first series of shorts that came out 10 years ago or whatever. Making MK into a schlocky but serviceable fun ride should be easy, but they couldn't find the line that separates cheesy bad and cheesy endearing with that last atrocity.

I remember our VCR failing when I rented MK:A. What mercy that was, though we did see maybe a half hour or so of it before it died. The new movie is also complete cow dung but in a different, more modern way. I keep thinking back to Shang Tsung going "the great nitara, isn't she beautiful?" Shut the gently caress up you ridiculous excuse for a villain. The 1995 Shang is such a great villain, by any standard, even in a pure cheese movie. But of course, mainly, you have motherfucking 30 years of loving video games to draw from, why oh loving WHY create this generic new poo poo character no one could possibly care about just for the movie? Hollywood's about, what, 90% remakes and reboots currently? They coulda made this movie on autopilot and been a serviceable flick for us fans, but nope. Lets create a MK movie in name only that no one will like! Sorry, I've been drinking

Whoa Val Kilmer with a funny hat. I spent $92 on beer this past weekend but I'm thinking really hard of taking a gamble on this at full price, knowing I'll have to spend even more to get the rest of the characters later on. The marketing thing is pretty alarming. While we're dunking on RR https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MlBbwyRtU9w

I got my PS1 second hand from a fighting game nut, it came with MKT, Tekken, Soul Blade, and WCW vs the World. Soul Blade was such a cool game, and I've wanted to try and get into the series more recently but I kind of count myself out, like it would be too steep a learning curve to become competitive.

The thing that gives me pause is all the juggling. And I know its been a part of fighting games for a long time. Its the very core of what combat is, you make a mistake, you get punished. But being juggled and bouncing off the floor for these really drawn out combos with nothing that can be done until the combo is exhausted or your opponent makes a mistake just irks me. I guess its something I just have to learn to deal with.

Ultimate nitpick but I cant stand the beige life/EX bars. I wouldn't pay for it, but it would be cool if you could unlock the klassic UI elements from previous games. Watching some vids earlier, and I'm still a bit uneasy at all the juggling and how easy it is to get bounced, plus the involvement of kameos to further extend combos. I still think I'm gonna get the game next week. Can anyone recommend any tips or reading material for someone who hasn't played the last 2 games?

Regrettable posted:There's a mod to fix the framerate just like at the launch of MK11 but it was made with the prerelease version and I think it needs to be updated because it made Reptile's face get smushed in. I'm just imagining fatalities now with 500% facial animations

I wanna wait till my birthday in late October to pick up the game (get as a gift) but I'm concerned with how much the player base might have dwindled by then, especially on PC with no crossplay
