I dont understand why it has to be “MK VS Cap” in the first place. I remember having game nights as kids where we went from Street Fighter to Tohshinden to Mortal Kombat, and it was all fun. Everybody just played games, there was no elitism.
I know MK made a bunch of shitty ass games from MK4 to MKDCU, believe me, even looking at MK4 back then I knew I didnt want to play it, and I believe I might have 2 hours or less of COMBINED game play from all MK games after UMK3 until MK9.
I consider myself a game player as opposed to a MK player or Capcom player. Hell I have played Avatar Fighter Online, Strip Fighter IV, ect random as game more than any title from either studio.
Also the “beef” isnt fair to the game. Capcom players win - “MK community sucks” Capcom players lose - “game sucks”.
Elitism or not there will ALWAYS be clear divides between each game and series and the people who play them. To think otherwise is naivete as its finest.
I agree, I would much rather have a complete fighting game community site that comprises ALL fighting games, hell that’s what I thought SRK was when I made my first account. But I guess we have to play the hands we are a dealt as a community regardless of how much others try to separate us.
It’s easier to process the FGC when you view it as a collection of warring states.
Every new game is like a new territory and Capcom guys and MK guys are fighting for the land of Injustice. It’s mostly egotism and the spectacle because I’m sure most of this site doesn’t give a shit what those involved do but stream monsters and viewers will eat that shit up.
That’s what i’m expecting to happen. Especially if you take past fighters into consideration. Doesn’t matter though injustice will have its own community that’s separate from MK, but will have some crossover players just like any other fighter.
Did not realize something in its 9th iteration was new but ok.
Really annoyed of the automatic way of playing this so far is to try and play it like MK. MK was boring as fuck to watch “competitive” I know its mostly mk people uploading videos but man they are already doing exactly what they did to mk lol.
Really starting to get into the Injustice Hype! I was wondering what if any are the negatives to using the stage hazards? If I were to miss or opponent blocks the hazard would they basically get a free combo on my character, or are you fairly safe?
Nobody is naive about shit. I’m just saying a good 15 years ago…everybody played everything. But again, a good 15 years ago when everybody were kids, and people just wanted to win in whatever game was played. Someone popped something in, and pads were passed around. The same people that printed out combos in SF printed out fatalities in MK. Obviously there were always outliers. They were more exceptions than the rule, which is the opposite now.
Not that I even really care…I’ll play this for a month or two like I did MK9, SFIV, UMVC3, and Tekken, then go back to what are “casual/not leet” games by SRK standards, like GTA, Skyrim, WWE, ect. All I take away from fighters anymore is that If creating combos is fun, thats just a bonus. Seems to be the case here so far…so, good.
I doubt this game will play anything like MK. faster dashes, no way to cancel a dash with a block or an attack, cross-ups, faster walk speed for better footsies. if anything it seems to look like a capcom game with target combos and strings, similar to many of the tekken characters from SFxTK.
I agree with the underlying sentiment that I want to avoid heros with redundant powersets but that part about the cast being unique is flawed.
It’s the chosen set of game mechanics that makes them unique.
Women I want in this game who don’t overlap with existing male characters.
Amanda Waller leading the Suicide Squad
Isis
Rocket
Terra
Zatanna - she breaks this rule but she honestly has dramatically so much more mindshare than her father to the point that he is as relevant as one of the lesser known Robins.
Yup, your right inside my brain with that. Thats why its frustrating to see these random vids pop up with people trying to zone MK9 style, and even without playing the game, you can tell that shit really does not work nor is it supposed to.
Are you guys kidding me with this crap? So many characters in Injustice while unique in their own right, some of them clearly are inspired by MK9 characters and moves. Especially the zoning characters lol.
I almost positive once people learned the game it’ll look like a faster,ore polished version of MK9 with characters from DC.
Alot of the same MK9 elements are also crossing over so I’m not sure why you guys are mad when people are seeing what still works and what doesn’t.
