MKDC was a pretty good start if you exclude the infinites and FFK/TYM. They need to keep that engine, and change the following:
-Change block to back/down-back
-Change backdash to double-tap back
-Remove Free Fall & Test Your Might
-Remove the infinites
-Speed up movement
-ADD REPTILE! 
They do that…I will be fine with the game. I never hated MKDC…just no one would play and the online was one of the worst in gaming history.
Having a block button doesn’t bother me. And Free Fall is actually cool, makes the fights epic in a way.
The best way to fix Mortal Kombat is to play MK2 or UMK3 instead.
i want to change the control panel on a mortal kombat 2 cab to seimitsu parts is there a lot of milling involved? shouldnt this be in tech talk?
That’s what a lot of people were about to ask you.
Samurai Shodown series would be a better pick, having violence and even bigger character/special move variety, and cast, than MK. Also, its mythology is just as big as MK’s.
I hear UMK3 is the shit. If that game is fucking awesome why hasn’t it gotten more respect around here? Honestly curious. Would be nice to see more legit MK stuff around. And I think a lot of people want MK to be legit, because they have some really awesome characters.
Shang Tsung man… Shang Tsung.
It wasn’t until I saw that one guys youtube page from Venezuela that I FINALLY saw what real high level UMK3 looks like. Good stuff. Now MKvsDC, that was horrible.
Best solution! Close thread.
I think a lot of people here want a viable competitive MK game because it sells. MK with 2 and 3 became more popular than SF, despite SF being a better game. The style was more approachble to the masses, I remember hearing far more hype for MK4 than SF3.
Also I think boon thinks he invented the fireball.
“since the beginning, one of the things that’s separated us from other fighting games is the crazy moves we’ve put in it, like fireballs and all the magic moves, so to speak.”
Got a link?
The latest FBA supports SEGA MK2,3 and UMK3. It’s not arcade perfect, but It’s better than nothing. Hoping that GGPO/Supercade will update their nFBA base and add the games someday
And in MKA we got move/style swapping all over the place, with 16 characters sharing same grab, and 1/3 of cast sharing teleport behind back. You can choose character with your eyes closed, and theres big chance you will have “fireball, forward charge, teleport behind back” movelist.
Posted it, it’s up in the blog section. Enjoy.
I haven’t heard any huge outcry of competitive fighting game players for MK for be a competitive fighting game.
And how does the concept of a fanboy who constantly forgets the numerous faults of the previous iteration of a series not make sense to you?
I don’t forget the faults, I just enjoy them through the faults the style of the game appeals to me. I never have said MK was EVER a competitive title. I was just saying it could have become one if it changed.
The only way to fix Mortal Kombat is to not play it.
UMK3 and MK2 were pretty great…Mortal Kombat is pretty cool in its own way.
They just need to fix some of the obvious shit in MKDC and that game would be pretty good too.
people who say umk3 is good obviously never played it online. that game is not only hugely unbalanced, it has many glitches. if you dont play as kabal h.smoke, stryker or lao youre screwed because once those infinites start its all over
and LOL at people saying mk has a good story. its convoluted, contradictory and overall seems like a vince mcmahon rejection.
OP pretty much described EVERY OTHER fighting game in his first post. Although I agree that I’ll play any other fighter before MK.
like have 2 directional inputs? thats got to be the most idiotic thing ever for any thing, why didnt they do both directionals on one side? its a stupid system in the first place but may have been tolerable if it where on R3/RS like an fps but no u have to switch. i was blown away by this pure garbage input idea
edit; quote dint go thru for mvd aka mitral valve disease, wot kind of name is that? dc universe? bah
