Armageddon will sell plenty. It’s Mortal Kombat.
o… i knew that:sweat:
Very convincing.
umm, I’m worried about something. In all the MKA vids I’ve seen I haven’t seen a normal fatality yet, just that dumb custom shit. Is that the only finishing moves this MK is offering?
Yeah. Those aren’t the only enders though. Each character will have his own.
Thats not confirmed though, only hinted at by Boon and we know his word aint worth shit.
I hope they make shaolin monks 2
I’m with you when it comes to gameplay, but Boon knows blood and gore are the series’ lifeblood.
I didn’t say it right the first time. Each character has their own, but I’m sure half or most of them are universal.
Ed Boon’s word means nothing.
Anyway, I recently purchased the GC version of MKD, and Dairou has been toned down greatly. Bo Rai Cho has been too.
I hope this translates to a more balanced game in MKA.
why are u people moaning about dairou, he was next to useless i only used him for his getting up scene after losing a round 
nah he was ok bt not worthy of mention.
man theres so many fighters out there, mk is deep enough now to hold attention, i aint complaining it does its job better than anything else out there.
thats until rival schools 3 is made :lol:
competitive mk? i always thought sf deserved my attention more, besides; why feed the greedy when you can feed yourself??
^ Please don’t post when you have no idea what you’re talking about. 90% of your post was nonsense.
Dairou is the best in the game, and this is not even a debate.
What’s creepy is the drop that puts him above everyone. Anyone could see that’s cheese from a mile away. Did the team not even look at it twice when they were going through the game?
MK I take nowadays as just a casual game like any other. The thing I will give it though is that, for me, since I have no friends who are into fighting games, it is something we can all just jump into and be able to play eachother with. Can’t say that for most others.
But… I do think every new character introduced from MK3 onward sucks it hard. Design-wise of course.
i do sound ignorant dont i
all the time playin offline/online dairou werent a prob, reread cos it was a question :shake:
mk is for fun, we hav enough in depth fighters, let the noobs hav somthin that doesnt scare them away.
rs is a game wiv loads of xtras thats why it was compared
understand?
Oh, I didn’t think it was a question.
If you had no troubles with online Daiour then that simply means you fought trash Dairou players. Dairou is the best in the game, but he’s tough to win with consistantly at a high level. You need to have a mastery of all his essential moves and space well. Think of him as the equivlant of SFA3 Dhaslim = on paper he’s perfect, but he needs the touch of a high level player to bring out the fierceness. Otherwise, Bo Rai Cho is far easier to play and better.
MK testers scare me. I have no idea how a move like the TS Drop made it into our households. They slowed it down for the GC version, so I assume they will do the same for MKA or drop it all together.
so i was right then?
i did forget that drop tho, it was a blatant advantage for the sake of making him a better character, i never used it because of its stupidity
Dairou was top tier because…
-
A super fast, unblockable, launching unblockable could only be escaped by jumping
-
A projectile that beats jumpers, does decent damage, and comes out fast. Can be 50/50ed with unblockable.
-
A throw that sends them far back, giving Dairou the room he needs to continue his TS drop/projectile mix ups.
-
A teleport that sends Dairou to the other end of the screen if it’s not blocked, giving Dairou the room he needs to continue his TS drop/projectile.
-
One of the most effective low pokes this game has to offer in second stance d+1. On hit, Dairou can quickly backdash and 50/50 between TS drop and projectile.
-
Has a mid hitting, fast launcher that can be 50/50ed with d+1/throw. So while jumping over TS drops and avoiding projectiles(a 50/50 in itself), you also have to deal with a natural 50/50 between mid and throw, making Dairou the most lethal 50/50 character in the game from ALL DISTANCES.
-
Has a safe, high hitting jab that’s anti air and fast.
Yeah, Dairou is basically unbeatable.
If anyone wants to know about any other characters and what they have to offer just holla at me.
what about noob and sub?
Know what, Mavado better not suck in this. He has two moves in DA and only one was useful. Midway better give him another move.
Noob-smoke is 3rd in the tier list, don’t ask me how he is though. I think he is the holder of the most infinites in the game. I haven’t played this in ages but i think that noobs dark cloud was a good move but take that with a grain of salt because i’m seriously not sure.
Sub-Zero is a meh character. I think he was a low tier character until versatile got his hands on him (surprise surprise). I think his best stance was Dragon and he only had one good plant koti blade which was 1,f+1, but again take it with a grain of salt.
