from what i read and seen, i don’t believe there is anymore 3D movement in mk9…it’s more of a mk1 and mk2 based so it’s purely 2d plane. It shares the original 5 button layout as the first games…and there is a run button on the joysticks shown…but it is going to be used as a TAG button in mk9…but the tag button will just be a short cut button anyway…like two or three buttons together on the regular control layout. I may still get one of those top panels for the hell of it though
still debating if i should sign up for playstation plus so i can have the demo tomorrow…maybe i’ll crack and do it so you might see mk9 demo at casuals on wednesday
yeah…i’m having trouble with DPs as well! i find it easier if you actually go for the forward, down and then down/forward and not go to full forward motion
let’s hope so! I love SF and capcom…but i think as a kid i was more of a MK fan…plus it’d be nice to see a purely north american game take the spot light in fighting games for a sec…also all the blood and bone breaking will make for some hype matches
I only need the good ol’ Fatalities. Tag team looks like an awesome concept.
lol plugged in the contraption the other night and had let it sit in vs mode of MvC3/SSFIV, it seems that something is buggy so it’s throwing out random normals lol! It’s either the 10+ year old PS2 pad or the converter from Arcade Power is truly doodoo. Nonetheless I think we gotta get Patrick the FC3 + dual mod/padhack option(I just noticed it has 4 triggers).
Just tried the MK9 demo on jon’s ps3. im not sold.
EDIT: and just to add it’s not bias, SSF4 is more awesome, and i quit that game. maybe it’s the weird layout on a standard arcade stick, AND that it’s only a demo, but it feels like crap.
Aside from the weird button layout, is there a type of MK audience that 9 is suppose to appeal towards? The last thing I played was MK vs DCU and I thought that was crap because combos were so choppy and special moves were either really unresponsive to hard to input.
haha…you played by yourself…with no sound and buttons not properly set!
Me and the other guys jammed it for a bit with all the proper stuff set up…game is a TON of fun! I may however be biased cause of my old school love for Mk…but i’ll have it set up for casuals tomorrow to see what others think…the x-ray moves are so much fun…very easy to do though so i dunno if it will become a problem. I think the game is going for a noob friendly feel.
