So this is why MK is just 15 bucks even though it’s a new game.
3 x Chun costumes are the same value.
For real though, it’s just not popular anymore or what.

If you look at player numbers as a chart, it most of the time looks like the chart decided to jump off a cliff, when it comes to numbers.
The only major I was planning on going to this year has decided to downgrade to a booking a bunch of hotel rooms and playing FGs. After a long and hard consideration I have decided not to go, for the following reasons:
1 - it’s in fucking Sweden
2 - I’m turning 30 that weekend and people have hinted that I should probably try to be available that weekend
3 - my wife is due less than a week after that and she would probably murder me if I was quarantined around that time
It’s a tough choice but this time the FGs will have to take a back seat.

Play FGs and eat Swedish meatballs.
or
Cuddle my newborn disease free.
How is that even a choice? If none of y’all start making sense soon, Imma shut this whole thing down.

There might be a slight hint of sarcasm in my post in regards how tough that choice was.
I probably won’t be allowed to do any cuddling in the first few days either due to hospital restrictions on partners for new parents. Fucking virus.

1st, i think this MK is the best one when it comes to gameplay and presentation.
But, the game has so many little flaws that pile up that simply end holding it back.
And for all the improvements in animations, graphics, in the process the game has lost some of the charm it had in the past, making it seem dull.
None of the newcomers are memorable, and old chars can be a hit or miss.
For example, everyone in my community refers to Kitana as Discout Chun li, or the thai prostitute, lol.
In terms of gameplay, it has many good ideas but they are dragged down by dumb design decisions and balance changes.
Like how they have a convoluted combo breaker system that is hard for the sake of it, or how the crushing blows are assigned in a very obtuse way, where you can have cbs that are almost never coming into play because their conditions are dumb, promote bad play, dont suit how the char is played, or are very situational, dooming characters to be gimped if they have a lot of them.
Then you have the obtuse way they designed the variation system and the customization
Where you cant have them separately, forcing you to assign the costume to a variation, and being only able to make changes outside the select screen.
Add that the game is very grindny in how much time you need to invest to unlock the stuff you want. And was also controversial due its monetization scheme.
All of that lead to the game losing viewership during tournaments and weeklies in a steady way, and also losing a good chunk of its playerbase both hardcore and casuals as interest in the game decreased.
It was the reason why it was dropped so quickly from evo.

Mortal Kombat might never be good again. Sad. MK9 still tops.

I personally never played MK 9 but a lot of people I talked to said it was 50/50 the game.
True ?
It is funny how with all its flaws, i enjoyed mk9 and played way more than mk11, despite feeling that mk11 is overall a better game, lol.
During a time it was even one of my main games during tournaments.

So MK11 is not fun to play.
Games that are not fun to play are automatically ass.

Neither of us ever resorted to an hexa-post though… don’t think I had ever seen one before.
I think you can’t buy MK11 in either of those countries, or it can’t be broadcasted, one or the other.
@Evil_Canadian for the record, I am not denying that nearly all big companies are bad, though (at least in video games) it seems to be a problem mainly with North American companies, but I am saying that we should be drawing a line at actual crime.
Chocking a woman is a crime.
Being a ginormous creep is not a crime until it becomes stalking or actual sexual harrassment.
What you’re doing, my friend, is whataboutism and I want to believe you’re better than that.

MK11 is indeed banned on Japan.
After some incident back in the 00’s they implemented very strict rules on the violence in media.
Iirc this is the 1st one to be banned due its hyper realistic violence

I think is fun to play, is just that is kind of dull, specially at high level.
The game would benefit incredibly if they removed the restrictions on the variations and allowed you to either use presets or customize your char on the select screen a la chaos code for example.

Mike Z is a weirdo, has been for a long time. I didn’t need to hear him say some edgy racist stuff trying to be funny or see an awkward conversation with him a chick.
He’s had the typical nerd elitist attitude forever, he’s just bold with it. Which gets him in trouble…
unlike his buddy sonicfox who is a timid try hard but has also said some cringe stuff.
Anyway I’m glad they chick that tried to throw him under the bus for him spitting game is getting backlash.
If some of these chicks were actually expected to go after the guys they really found attractive they wouldn’t know what to do.
I mean just recently didn’t CC make a tweet tagging her fgc crush out the blue… only to get the “Shoot your shot” and awww how cute support? LOL
imagine if mike z did that even before all this all it would have took is one “Yo this is mad creepy and random dude” for the hammer to drop

I don’t like TLOU but I know a lot of people who enjoy that.
Probably the same people who think fighting games need story modes.

Mk is super unfun to play to me, but I love the lore and detail that goes into the game and characters.

I’m in the same spot as you.I would love if SF had the same variety of interactions between characters as MK does, the same visual customization and so on.
