Ed, you're gonna need to give me my boy Reptile. We can't have 2 games in a row without Reptile, right Ed? Where's my boy Reptile, Ed?

So I've been playing deadly alliance and Deception and I can't help but notice that the game has such slow forward and back dashes. Is there any way to wavedash or make yourself go faster in some way in those games or is my sneaking suspicion that they're not very good games correct

Didn't everyone?? It was kind of stupid as hell, and really fun. Shujinko going around bring the biggest moron, getting into fights with time-displaced people for no reason, and me just about breaking the controller in half with frustration because I can't get the timing on a combo with two style switches right.

I've tried the Konquest mode in MK Armageddon, but it's so awkward playing with a Wiimote.

I am now pro-bringing back 3D era characters because they're all basically new designs by this point with the added wow factor of making them not look like a total piece of poo poo and pleasing the 3 remaining Darrius holdouts on Earth.

What if there are 3 dlc packs and the third one has all the remaining 3d era characters

Tanya is in the same club with Jade where she's traditionally been just dark enough that chuds will argue about it.

Now NRS has officially hired black/mixed women to be both characters' face models and the usual suspects are upset.

People do. Maybe not you, and that's absolutely great that you are not as susceptible to the predatory practices of microtransactions and things like that, but we gotta acknowledge that these things are done because they are effective on those that are vulnerable to these practices.

In the context of MK11, like I said, it felt like there was a structure in place to sell people koins or whatever it was to "skip the grind," but then it was removed at the last minute. I can't prove it, but I do know I gave up on the weekly challenges and doing X amount of fatalities with each character and poo poo like that and never fully unlocked everything because it was just so boring and repetitive to me.

There was similar stuff in MK10, and if I remember right, that actually DID have microtransactions for the in-game currency, right? These games also had additional costume packs and fatalities and stuff that weren't included in the Kombat Pass stuff either. So I'm just saying to be prepared for all kinds of poo poo like this to be loaded into this game.

Liu Kang's like the only elder god now and controls all time? That's him hanging out with the Outworld princess in that released scene though? He's just slumming it for fun?

I know I'm probably expecting too much from MK compared to other fighting games but why does Geras have such an oppressively dull design and personality. The time and sand gimmick feels like it should open things up to all kinds of cool ideas.

With Darrius making it in as a kameo, there's hope for my boy Kobra.

it would be so cool if I was dead instead of having a brain that retains that information for 20 years

If I were Time/Fire God Liu Kang, I'd just not allow merging realms under any circumstances. None of this cutesy "Ohhhhhhhkay, if you can win TEN tournaments in a row, then you get a little treat"
