New mortal kombat is coming

[EWAShock]

Blockstun is hugely important. In MK4 one of the things I hated the most was how it lost the feeling of when you get hit and when you block hits. It’s very important for pacing and countering. If things are hitting you and you don’t know when you can unblock to counter, you get stuck in guard. It’s horrible and exists in MKDA MKD and MKA.

Thanks, that was the joke…

[Cryoh]

I knew it…

tbh though, you gave yourself away with that comment about realistic blockstun. Don’t be a stranger MahJawn.

I was still waiting for the inevitable Kakuto Chojin and Steve Wilkos posts.

As long as Kune Lao, Noob( as long as he is balanced and not cheap ), Smoke, and Reptile are in the game I’m gonna play it. And it being 2.5-D Just sells it all . I was wondering if this game fails will Midway go out of bussiness.

I highly doubt it as Warner Bros. owns the Mortal Kombat IP. They could always give it to DC Comics to fiddle around. MK isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.

Where have you been? Midway doesnt exist anymore. WB owns Midway & MK

yes, it belongs to WB now.

I cant even front that looked sick

On another note, As much as I kinda liked zombie Kang’s design, I hope he isn’t undead in this game.

I really don’t want to see Liu Kang as a zombie in the game, but he might be due to the story throughout the game.

In that case then I take back what I said, blockstun is very important then. My bad.

That is absolutely not fucking true. Saying that every normal poke/combo string (or parts of it) being unsafe is absolutely redic. Have YOU PLAYED TEKKEN? That is one of the most boring 3d fighting games EVER. Where it basically comes down to who can out turtle the other. But realistically that’s in every fighting. And in MK there are special moves (projectiles) to force your opponent to make bad evasive decisions (again same just like any other fighting game). Mixing up throw and lows and some aren’t too bad at all. There’s pleanty of ways to imply offensive pressure in MKA. You wanna punish off a block? Throw them or do your fastest frame moves. There’s options.

You didn’t read everything I said, did you? I said there’s a small percentage of attacks that are actually safe.

But really, there’s a good portion of the cast that has no safe moves at all…I’m not even kidding. The game is WAY more of a turtlefest than Tekken…you seriously have not touched MKA if you think Tekken is still more turtly.

DON’T GET THROWN! PLAY SAFE/GAY AS POSSIBLE! Isn’t this the golden rule in fighting game? But wait those infinites have been fixed in the Wii version of the game. Guess this is a dead issue now.

Not all of them are gone.

Play safe? You seriously can’t read can you? There’s ALMOST NOTHING SAFE IN MKA ON BLOCK. Get that through your fucking head lol. I played the game from top to bottom for 2 years straight just about religiously for often 5 hours a day (Yes, I do somewhat regret playing for so long…only reason I somewhat don’t is I wouldn’t have run into cool ass people like Bone, Tim, and a few others in this thread). So don’t tell me shit about playing as safe/gay as possible. I know, for the most part…that’s not possible.

I didn’t play much ONLINE because it’s dumb. THE ONLY COMMUNITY THE GAME HAD…WAS ONLINE. And online characters are redic. Sure the infinites were soft banned. But using breakers wisely and taking damage (sacrificing damage)…you can edge out a win with being smarter than your opponent. Especially since people suffer from human error. And the silliness has been fixed in MKA on the Wii.

THE SILLINESS HASN’T BEEN FIXED IN MKA WII! If it has been fixed, where the fuck is my blockstun…or why can everyone in the game STILL infinite me??? Lmao…stop fucking talking about this game. You seriously don’t understand it nearly as much as I do…I’m not being arrogant, I’m just being straight up.

LIKE I FUCKING SAID, MKA is WAAAAAAAY better than the sloppiness/glitchfest of MKvsDC. I like absolutely ZERO about that game.

LOL @ MKDC being a glitchfest compared to MKA. What fucking glitches does MKDC have that’s worse than what MKA has? None. Zero. Zilch. Nadda.

Not my fucking problem. Not like I know WTF that’s supposed to mean. So fuck you too, I guess. :lol:

What it’s supposed to mean is your posts there tend to be as bad as they are here. MKA better than MKDC…I’ve heard it all.

I still think MKA is better. Period. We’ll probably agree to disagree and be done with this. Meh.

You can think it’s better…but you’re beyond foolish to think so, lol.

Is there an MK thread that isn’t full of tards? I’d like to post in that one.

MKA Bonus Disc?MKA Game

+1 for Spirit Liu Kang in MK9.

[digimonemporer]

Stuff

Who gives a fuck what you know or how long you played the game? You’re giving me shit about a game no one plays and that I play and enjoy amongst my friends. U MAD? You hate the game that much? YOU MORTONS CUZ I DON’T LIKE YOUR STUPID ASS MKvsDC? DUDE GTFO!

I learned that MKA Wii still has ACs. Although, like I said before…the AC timing feels a lot more stirct (in terms of inputs)…juggles in general feel more strict IMO. And I never used ACs to begin with anyways. I’m fine with the system, and it doesn’t feel like a turtle fest when I play amongst my friends. So whatevs.

This is the very last time I’m going to post about this. If you or anyone else don’t/doesn’t like MKA, well tough shit. I do. And I play and like UMK3 too. So WTF! :rolleyes:

**If you think these guys are bad, click that Kotaku link that had the video and read “Puffy”'s comments.

I was literally facepalming on each of her posts.**

[Zaruka]

hmm well although i did not hate mka i felt deception had better gameplay and better overall feel of the game then armageddon. so given a choice to play a 3d fighter mk it would be deception. anway im glad there another 2d mortal kombat i love playing the old one. i just need to see scorpion in action since i saw kung lao. with that my two favorite characters who im sure are in the game. i dont think ermac, Kenshi or Shang Tsung might not be in the game. although Shang Tsung still has a high chance to be in the game.

[MUSOLINI]

mk ninjas are probably the gayest ninjas ever in a fighter. design wise ican only think of 1 ninja thats as crappy as them, and thats eiji. but even eijis geneic design is still better, and hes more fun to play with than all mk ninjas from all mk games combined. its not my fault the game sucks, i honestly believe those mugen guys can make a better mk game than the actual companies that make them.

[revben]

The game seems to be really good. I hope all characters from MK Trilogy is in the game excluding human smoke and noob saibot.

[Black_Shroud]

@ revben
So you want to leave out Human Smoke but not Rain who can infinite you off any of his special moves?

@ MUSOLINI
They are coming after YOU!

Blind much? The backgrounds maybe but the actual models are small, lack detail and look so last gen. In fact MKvDC had better looking models. These just look rehashed and the animation itself is so stiff. Compare the models and their respective animation to SF4 and MvC3. The movements lack fluidity.

Aside from the return to 2D gameplay, I see nothing in the trailer than genuinely looks inspired and NOT Shaolin Monks rehashed.

I would’ve expected a darker, grittier and more realistic presentation, a re-imagination even of the MK series but with Boon at the helm once again, the focus will be on nothing more than gimmicks. X-ray effects, "klose kombat’ and even tag team - Throw in the most complex story mode ever in a fighting game (which I like) and all you have are a bunch of distractions, to take the attention away from the core problem of the MK series for more than a decade; a BAD just BAD fighting engine.

If past MKs are anything to go by, nothing will change in the next 9 months and this game will lose its appeal to any fighter fan within 15 minutes of gameplay.

Boon should drop the Saturday Morning cartoon bullshit and deliver a good FIGHTING game. Of all the fighting games ever, I’ve been rooting for MK the most. I love the characters, the story and the universe itself, it’s so sad that all of that falls apart because of the continued focus on superficial aspects of the game to reel in cash, rather than an actual renovation of the fighting. If Boon and co have no interest in the fighting, then turn it into an RPG and get it over with.

MK Konquest Mode was the only reason I played the later 3D Games. Hell, even MK Mythologies was better than the later shit boon put out.

And iirc, isn’t the problem not with the games being playtested but more so with Boon just not fucking listening? Hence I’m not convinced, it’s a big relief factor that a new team is handling it, but that part about Boon’s guiding hand being present has me being reserved for disappointment.
