Absolutely agreed. As great as MK9 looks, a run button would have gone a long way to make this it’s own FG.
good point.
i just noticed something that might be very significant. In the sektor/reptile fight ed says something along the lines of, “this is the fastest Mk we’ve ever made… umk3 is the only game that is as frenetic.” Either ed just threw that in there to please the umk3 fans or he just made my day.
Random thoughts:
-Do any of you think they should have SOME way in the game for us to be able to find out a fatality on our own? Something in the gameplay (instead of a secrets quest) that guides us along. Like if there was a fatality mode (like in previous games) where your guy got a red aura, and every time you did a correct button press in the fatality, the aura would spike or something. Also, if you had a fatality on the tip of your brain but couldn’t quite remember it, this mode would be helpful. That would also add to the whole “mystique” thing they’re trying to build.
-Is it just me or would those X-Ray moves be WAY better as brutalities? Just add more hits to them. The game after MK9(or 8?) could elevate them.
I’m throwing this out there… just because I guess.
Yeah, I’ve always felt that way about them. All the secrets and hidden shit they love putting in MK games and somehow, fatality hints never make the cut.
There’s a constant mention of the run button, but even if they did map running to a button it would never work the way you want it to, at least in a way that mimics the way it is used in UMK3. The mechanic itself I believe would be replicable without having to use a button for running, since such a thing is unintuitive. At least the way it was implemented in MK3/UMK3.
I wonder if Liu Kang will make the cut?
for people who think it’s slow paced. I deffo think people would play the team match, as it seem’s more fast paced. I deffo think the team match is where it’s gonna be at for mk9 it’s looking amazing.
We have to see if the dash is a good substitute for the run.
tight timing on combos is not “street fighter shit.”
i heard that there is gonna be Liu Kang (no-zombie)
There has to be Liu Kang, its set in the time when he was still alive.
it is when sf4 is your first fighting game
Anyone notice that MK9 kind of took the wind out of Marvel vs. Capcom 3 from the press at E3? The general reaction to MvC3 seemed to be “Yeah, it’s a lot of fun. It’s Marvel vs. Capcom, but the controls are simpler.” The reaction to MK9 from everyone though seemed to be “ZOMGWTFBBQ this game looks like the best Mortal Kombat evaaaaarrrr!!!” You could chock it up to simply being because Mortal Kombat was the big surprise and we already knew pretty much what to expect from MvC3, but still, it’s quite impressive to see how much positive buzz this game has managed to generate so quickly.
I hope so. Then again, why wouldn’t Liu Kang be in the game? While Scorpion and Sub-Zero may be the mascots of the game, Liu Kang is the Ryu of the game. It would be pretty surprising for Liu Kang to not be in this particular MK game. Characters like Hsu Hao, Kobra or Kai on the other hand, if they weren’t in, it would be to nobody’s surprise.
Then again, I remember Ed Boon talking about the plot of the game involving time travel nonsense, noting how it would effect certain characters. Rather than seeing brand new characters, I imagine we’ll see “renditions” of already existing characters. Perhaps a human Cyrax?
he said in the interview MK1-3 packed in a new one
so i guess we’ll see liu kang and the old crew
maybe new chars as DLC
They need to get a Seth Killian like person on this and pay attention to SRK and the community. They also need to get on the EVO ticket for next year. They also need to have somewhat decent simplified net code. If they can satisfy these criteria, then they have themselves a winner. As is, the game looks wonderfully good!
it is dumb ass, sf2ww started that shit.
also is it just me or does the fastest mk game look like a slug? shits slow as ass.
last point, will the fatalities have retarded comments, different for each char? shit should just be put on start.
ban mc187 for being banned poster ‘musolini’ parachute account thanks
I’ve very high hopes that they keep the original Shang Tsung model from MK1 and not the follow funky looking ones…
