MK9 and X are very popular currently. But I wonder why UMK3 or Mortal Kombat Trilogy are not held in the same regard in popular tournaments? While the older Street Fighter 2 Turbo is still highly regarded and was played along with SFIII-V. Or even King of Fighters 98-2002 that retained their popularity, while XIII (and now XIV) was the main game. Even MvC2 is more popular than older MK games
But something similar has not happened with Mortal Kombat. MK Trilogy is troublesome to run, but getting a UMK3 cab shouldnt be an issue
Can you guys think of any normals/specials in a fighting game that are more plus on block than on hit? I feel like there must be some, but I canât come up with any atm.
Because the NRS scene only likes to play one game at a time
partially because they are a smaller group than Capcom players, and partially because thatâs how NRS promotes their games. âOkay injustice 2 is coming out in 6 months so letâs kill mkx now so everyone has their wallets readyâ
Because MK has been somewhat separate from the mainline FGC and they didnât really get much attention in tournaments until MK9 came out. FGC didnât really have a positive view on the older MKs until then.
daisuke ishiwatari was recently interviewed by toco toco tv. Their series is about certain locations that inspire creators. Thought Iâd leave this here.
EhâŚthese two comments need to be addressed. Latter first: after UMK3, all of the MK games were shit. Some of us played it for shits and giggles but thatâs the most of it. The best MK game after 3 was Shaolin Monks. MK9 was the most amazing fighting game of all time compared to the constant bullshit they were putting out. But hey, people love fatalities and MK fanservice so all the shitty games became greatest hits.
UMK3 and MKT are different beasts altogether. UMK3 has a scene up in the North East. It started getting some press in the early days of SF4 but it kind of went nowhere. MKT gets played in the Dominican Republic for whatever reason. No arcade release during those times meant that the games were taken as seriously. So its kind of this weird side game that nobody really looked at unfortunately.
Really? This the type of attitude you bring to the table when people are trying to provide a good fighting game to the FGC something that NRS are incapable of doing?
If we have the resources to change the game to the way that we prefer or make it playable, thats what weâre gonna do & also not everyone likes MKX & INJ
im not agaisnt mod and hack like aesthetic changes and what not but changing mechanics and property is where I draw the line.
Hold da fuck up.
Who in gods given earth gave you the credentials make such statement?
Nothing and I mean nothing guaranteed this fan project going to better than NRS MK9 has produce. Saying something going to be better base subjective idea as âbalanceâ is frivolous. MK9 goal was to reboot the franchise and offer feature that cater to the competitive community and did it in spades. MK was brought to its root with 2.5 gameplay, added mechanics common in modern FG that improved upon old ones. They provided a fine tune training mode with features still neglected to be added by other main stream fighters on top of a tutorial. Execution wasnât the best but they attempted sincerely with mostly positive results. Yes their glaring issue development wise, but no one can take away any of NRS accomplishment base on them not living up to few individual standards. And its not like theyâre not trying to improve. Injustice, MKX/XL is evidence enough.
Instead of trying to reshape game intricate design. The people doing this MK9 trilogy edition should be trying to make their own stuff and present it as its own and not harp on another design and slightly modify it in the whims their improving it. As aid Iâm not against mods sense i like how caster add roll back to online gaming. Color edit or costume music. While Im not sure how stuff like Pokemon uranium and metriod 2 remake operates. Iâm sure their made in homage to the developers of the game and not out of spite which seems to be the driven theme around MK9 trilogy and project M.
It is simple, who the fuck are the people doing the hack to even take their balance changes into account?
Why should anyone care and accept their changes.
