Speaking of Tekken, I prefer MK’s juggles over Tekken’s. Something about MK’s just seems more stylish.
no wall to boost the damage by 10,000%
This is probably me being unfamiliar with MK in general, but are uppercuts supposed to feel this strong? It feels like they just destroy anything that doesn’t low profile and are the go to for scrubs to try and mash out of more or less any mixup attempt. Are you just supposed to go low until they stop mashing?
I would love to have the option to map two buttons as the Block buttons. I’m either stuck with having an easy to press Block with a hard to press X-ray attack or harder to press Block with an easy to press X-ray attack.
Rant About Story Mode/Ending, Big Spoilers
Spoiler
Ok, so where we stand right now in the MK universe, Liu Kang is dead, most of the heroes are enslaved to an evil force, and nobody knows what Shinnock is doing…which is exactly where things were left off after Deception :annoy:! My first reaction on hearing MK was being rebooted, seriously, was ‘thank goodness Liu Kang and Kitana won’t be zombies anymore.’ I’m not asking for a Hollywood Ending, I’m just asking for 90% of the heroes not to be dead, and I’m weirded out that NRS apparently wants Ermac and Mileena to be the stars of the MK universe, considering how many times you have to fight them in story mode. Ed Boon, this is why we can’t have nice things!
I know very few people on SRK give a piss about stuff like this, but I had to get it off my chest :badboy:.
Why isnt there a cpu record/play feature in training mode?
they arent invulnerable. you just have to figure out what strings will frame trap and punnish them for letting go of block
I care about. Story mode was good.
Story Mode/Ending
Spoiler
You know they probably Ress all of them if they make a later version. Another Quan Chi Deal? Gods or something lol.
Wait what the fuck, we got character sub-forums? Shit…that’s surprising.
Story lulz
Spoiler
Anywho story mode was great, but I also feel WTF are they going to do in the sequel? My running theory is Dragonballs and Liu Kang not taking any of Raiden’s shit anymore. Maybe evil Liu? Stupid but plausible.
More story stuff
Spoiler
I reckon we get spectre versions of everyone and in the end Raiden has to defeat a powered up version of Quan Chi (powers increased from taking Shinnok’s amulet) to get back the souls of the good guys.
You know what I’m really hoping for though, is that they release DLC for a bunch of MK4 characters, and subsequently throw in DLC that is a continuation of Story Mode. That’d be the bomb.
story stuff
Spoiler
It seems they’re going the Deception route with the revisioned MK4 story. Most of the heroes dead and under the control of the villains, possibly of pass villains becoming good guys or at least putting their differences aside to work toward a common goal. The story structure is looking to be a lot like Deception. Hope it’s better
Quan Chi is amazingly fun, might end up learning him as a new main. Really digging Robo sub too, though I still <3 the original bots and noob… Actually, too many cool characters in this game atm.
I disagree, really loved the way story mode played out.
I liked it too (minus how almost all of the “for real” deaths happened). You know a bunch of things are going to be reversed in the next installment anyway.

This game is not street fighter so quit wanting it to be.

I really hope this happens, look at liu kangs arcade mode ending for a glimps of the future. imalso, im hoping kai makes his debut in the next one. im also hoping for a DLC continuation
I can understand the Street Fighter comment about #2…but #1 and #3 are definitely not Street Fighter components.
Tbh, I like that the game does NOT entirely play like the old-school MKs. It’s a new take on MK, sorta. A lot of the elements MK9 contains are stuff you normally don’t find in 2D fighters, which is very interesting.
I know the dude I quoted in real life. And I know he loves street fighter and would like the game to be more like it. The game is fine the way it is and doesnt need a run or any other stuff implemented.
Just got my first rage quit with Stryker :rock::rock::rock:
To his defense, the lag was very shitty.
Is there a way to choose the 2nd player color with it being a mirror match?

Posted this video because I think Seb breaks this game down pretty well and I agree with a lot of the points he has about this game and recent games that have come out.
Most games that have come out recently is all about hit confirms off of like low jabs and shorts and what not… so essentially everybody is fishing for the same thing and makes matches a lot more predictable. In this game you cant just hit confirm off of a jab or something… you have to commit more to a certain setup/combo. That isn’t to say that there aren’t hit confirms in this game because that is far from the truth, however, it feels so far that the game doesn’t revolve around that. The whole element of guessing and baiting and mind games has seemed dumb down in a lot of recent titles. This game feels like guessing and mind games are a much bigger element.
