MK9's goal: be "the 'gold standard' for network play"

We can certainly handle glitches, infinite combos, top tiers, almost anything in-game. If jump kick / sweep is unblockable online I don’t think anyone is going to care what else they are working on.

Yeah well unfortunately, UMK3 was the only competitive MK ever. And that has nothing to do with the BS “3-D” MK games that have come out. UMK3 isn’t even in the same league as the rest of the MK’s.

Indeed. Nice Primal Rage joke. But It didnt worked on 1994 even with the Jurassic Park boom, I doubt It will work now. (I will love it though… PR remake)

I would rep you if I could my bro

Mortal Kombat is notorious for having easy infinites and this doesn’t involve combos, for example, MKA had infinites that could be done with a single press of a button continuously and its all due to lazy programming. The MKvsDC lobby was horribly constructed, they made the “accept a challenge” button, the same as the “Chat” button, which was stupid, because if you are typing, you accidentally accept random challenges.

MKA despite its horrific create a character feature which ended up being one of the most broken things they could have added, it had missing features, like weapons, specials etc.

And don’t get me started on MKA’s fatality system, they said they wanted to try something new, but in reality, you know damn well they weren’t about to create over 60 fatalities for each character, what an excuse for lazy programming. If they can’t even access these problems, how are we going to expect good gameplay? impossible…

Midway needs to go back to what made it great in the first place… Pinball.
The whole reason anyone ever played Mortal Kombat was because it had all kinds of blood and gore. It was one of the reasons the ESRB was established. Now that everyone has the internet it’s niche is pretty much filled.
If they really want to sell this game they will forget about working on the netcode (unless they are just going to license it to other companies) and add Sexualities and go for that AO rating and all the controversy that made them popular in the first place.

yess i agree. everyoe is jadded nowadays so they really need to up the violence, and on a serious level none of that goofy sheeit.

Back to 2d, HD digitized sprites, 60 FPS, and hella violent = win.

OMG

-Sektor blows up Cyrax/Jax/Sonya while dry-humping himself. Shoots SEVEN missiles when there’s cearly SIX

-Johhny Cage: “I saw that Arnold!”

-Arnold? Sub-Zero, apparently

-Reptile and Baraka getting pwnzmalitied in their own damn endings

-Jax (to Jarek): “Wrong Jarek! This is not a brutality. This is a FATALITY!” dun dun dunnn

-Lui Kang (to a holographic Kitana): “But I thought you was gonna lick-” :?!?!?!? :rofl:

well midway isn’t going to do a damn thing anymore since they are dead and gone.

the rest of your statement is complete nonsense. have you seen mk9 at all? it looks awesome. they’re taking it seriously. when you got EVO folks talking about a mortal kombat game then you know you’ve got something special going on.

all i know is i know what game i’m gonna be running tournaments for next year.

It’s been a year dude. :wtf:

punting to the new sexy mk forum.
