Tag mode should be the mode that all MK9 tounaments should play. Tag mode has so much potential, but nobody is willing to explore it right now. If somebody would just show some of the possibilities that tag mode could provide, maybe CHECK_4900. NetherRealm Studios put a lot of work into it and now it’s being wasted. and people are already figuring out these 50% punish combos, it shouldn’t make the matches that much longer than they are now to beat 2 character instead of one. If you agree, I think we should push for Tag mode for EVO instead of 1v1!!!
Nah, I like 1v1. Tag can be as a separate thing like a team tourny or something. But I’d prefer 1v1 to be the “main”
Here’s the problem with tag mode: The game hasn’t even been out for two weeks. Players need time not only to get good with a single character, but to get good with two individually, and then work on linking them together in tag. Best case scenario, most players won’t even begin working on Tag until they’ve mastered three or four characters on the roster.
Give it some time, once people start getting a more solid grasp of the game and the characters they’re using, they’ll probably start playing more Tag.
i think youll see plenty of side tournaments that use tag mode as the main mode as soon as people feel comfortable with their mains. right now everyone just wants to play original recipe MK. and im with ya buddy, tag mode is amazing and i really wanna see high level play of that shit! team human red and yellow forever !!
YEAH, high level tag MK would be sick!!!
Co-operative tag mode is all I play. This mode is what’s going to really sustain my interest in MK, as my room mate and brother both are in to this game. Let the camaraderie flow like acid!
tag mode is really broken though, the tag assists are too godlike in some cases…it’s gonna be like fuckin marvel
I’ve yet to even see somebody other than myself perform a tag assist. Are you playing 1p tag or 2p? 2p is where it’s at my good sir.
maybe the tag ins, but a lot of the assists dont seem THAT good, since they keep you in place while it does it, also, assists costs meter, so why not have them be a little good?
Reptile as a partner, have him do the slow ass acid trip ball, it is the ultimate trap.
All my buddies who have the game don’t live near me 
My controller (kontroller?) only has 6 buttons, so I can’t really play tag mode properly.
There are only 6 buttons in the game. Any problem you are having must be on the user-end.
YOu only need 5 buttons for MK bro, FP+FK = throw, FK+BK = stance change, FK+BK+BL = super, and BP+BK=tag, so you do QCF or QCB BP+BK for assists/tag attacks
It’s not the main feature of the game. I play exclusively 1v1 and feel the game is best that way. mk9 isn’t marvel. it’s fun for the casuals to play with(or just goof around), but if you plan to enter any tournaments you’re probably wasting your time. this isn’t to say people won’t try though.
Over time, I want to see people open up to 4 player tag team side tournaments. That would be mad hype. I’d love to see the teams and strats that develop.
I don’t mean side tournaments, I mean tag mode as the standard mode for tournaments like majors and EVO. also, can u punish assists in MK Tag, has anyone tested? Tag mode just seems way more interesting than one on one.
I’m treating MK as a secondary shits and giggles game, so 2p tag works. I almost had a coronary a couple times rooting on my partner, haha.
We’ll see. Again, this game has only been out for, shit not even a week yet. I’m still going through Story mode (at Raiden though) though so I haven’t even settled in to a character yet. Not to mention we have DLC characters on the way. We need to let the dust settle before we can discuss what’s best for a tournament.
I would like to see more tag stuff. NR put a lot of work into the tag mode for it to not come cross as a gimmick. It becomes a different game with tag. Though I don’t expect to see tag stuff in early in the game’s life. I’ll give it a month or two before the tag stuff starts pouring in
