I'm more surprised KOF has anyone left after that abysmal transfer to 3D. Same with Samurai Shodown, lmao.

It seems like every fighting game franchise shit the bed these last few years. SF6 is dogshit, Tekken 8 sucks donkey dick, Guilty Gear Strive is a pile of vomit, and KOF XV might as well be thrown in the trash. It's like everyone forgot how to make a good fighting game all of a sudden.

>>715284558 (OP)
MK1 was probably single biggest blunder they've made, although to be fair, I heard that they were forced to immediately make another MK game after 11 and had to retool Injustice 3 into a new MK game. Which might explain why it feels so strange...And the entire Kameo system.

>>715286804
It really sucks to be a fighting game fan in this decade.

Now youre just talking out of your ass

>>715287589
I do find it funny how Street Fighter 6 adopted an animation style more similar to Mortal Kombat than inheriting its previous animation style.

>>715287589
NTA but it's best game to play in the genre by a mile but with shit like the lack of content compared to SF4/SFV and the retarded balance decisions that don't address drive rush, high damage and throw loops

>>715284558 (OP)
>Why do they both make japs and their glazers seethe so much?
I don't remember ever reading about nip devs badnaming MK.

they just don't do collabs with them like they do with each other, but the main reason they do collabs with each other is because some key devs did hanged around each other a lot while organizing tournaments and shit, and MK devs never cared about MK's tournament/competetitive scene, which is also a reason why the hardcore capcom/snk/bamco/etc. fags don't hold MK in high regards; these games always had very underwhelming competitive gameplay.
Keep in mind, SF2 already had full unique frame data for all moves of all characters, meanwhile MK1-3 characters all had identical normals.

>>715285137
Ah, someone finally responded to that fat weeb?

>>715285137
it's hilarious how every drama surrounding NRS games can be about everything except the actual gamepaly mechanics unlike other fighting games

Then why didn't he add Shao Kahn to Tekken 7?

In terms of standing punching/kicking? Yes. For back/forwards moves, jumping, and uppercuts? No.

>>715288668
>it's hilarious how every drama surrounding NRS games can be about everything except the actual gamepaly mechanics unlike other fighting games

It's hilarious how wrong you are, since the kameo system in MK1 is one of the most hated inclusions in Mortal Kombat in recent memory, even more-so than the bogus story.

>>715289052
did MK1/2/3 characters have different uppercut properties? That move always felt probably the most universal of all the moves they had

>>715289294
In MK1? Yes. In MK2 and 3? They had different reach and different damage, and some have different launch arcs.

>>715288335
UMK3 is the competitive standard as far as MK games go, and arguably the deepest in the series, outside of MK11 or MKX. MK2 introduced the concept of giving the characters different normal properties, and then MK3 ran with it.

>>715290223
>MK3 ran with it

>>715287859
Can't unsee.

>>715287859
It's pretty obvious considering they literally adopted crushing blows and fatal blows directly from MK11.

>>715290223
Cheeky comment.

>>715284558 (OP)
Apparently Russians formed a hate-campaign around MK1 because there was an unofficial online "blackout" in their region around the time MK1 launched. Good job NRS, handicap one of the regions that has a huge following for your brand.

>>715285861
Samurai Shodown was rad, though.

>>715284558 (OP)
Beats me. I just really liked playing Spawn.

>>715295461
Samurai Shodown was probably the biggest fighting game bomb of the millennium, having sold 40,000 units.

>>715296207
More's the pity. It was a fun game.

>>715287213
And they are still stuck in the MK mines, it seem,s going forward

>>715296751
You're surprised? Mortal Kombat and off-brand Mortal Kombat are basically the reason Warner Bros. keeps them around instead of dumpstering them like pretty much every other game developer they own?

>>715284558 (OP)
>MK x Tekken happens
>story is Jun hires Scorpion/Sub-zero to save Kazuya
would brick shits harder than T7 Akuma backstory

>>715296971
I thought they might get the chance to make something else, but now it's pretty clear NRS is rather bored of MK and wants to do something else.
I guess they could always try doing weird spin-offs again, like Shaolin Monks and MK Mythologies again but WB is probably rather against such experimentation.

>>715284558 (OP)
WHERE THE FUCK IS FIRE AND ICE BOON
WHERE IS IT

>>715297440
WB can't afford that right now. MK is a guaranteed money maker and WB is on their last legs.

>>715297440
Very unlikely, considering the money Warner Bros. has been bleeding the past decade or so (largely from their own bone-headed decisions). As of last month, they basically restructured their games division to focus on Harry Potter, Game of Thrones, Mortal Kombat, and DC - anything outside of those four probably isn't a priority for them. That said, Netherrealm's president is now tasked with Mortal Kombat AND DC, so it's possible the company might make a lateral shift into more adventurous comic games. That, or they'll just throw out yet another Injustice.

>>715289184
Haven't played since 11, what's the kameo system about and why does it suck?

>>715297495
He wants to do it but it's not up to him, it's only what WB will okay. And realistically if Fire and Ice were to be made you can bet WB would shit it up to be Suicide Squad levels of ass

>>715299576
You have to pick some tag-assist character, who you can activate on cool-down to intervene and add to your combo or interrupt the enemy. There is no way to play the game without it.

>>715298745
My guess is that they pivoted to this stupid fucking multiverse bullshit in MK1 as a way to begin introducing DC heroes and merge them for another stab at MK vs DC. NOT ANYMORE. That ship sunk harder than the titanic.

>>715299675
To be fair, Suicide Squad wasn't completely the fault of Warner Bros. executives. Sure, they forced the game onto Rocksteady after WB Montreal had already started work, then demanded Rocksteady turn it into a live service game because the suits decided they wanted their own Destiny 2. But the bulk of what went wrong was because of Sefton Hill, one of the game's directors - guy was as indecisive as he was a perfectionist, demanding that everyone work on some feature or another and report to him with constant updates, only to then throw out the feature entirely after a few months.

>>715301336
Having them piss on the Flash's corpse and kill Batman with a point blank gunshot to the head probably didn't help....Or turning Mr Freeze into a fat dyke...Or turning Wonder Woman into a feminist who stands for women's rights....

>>715301657
>turning Wonder Woman into a feminist who stands for women's rights
Was she not that before?

>>715301657
Apparently the script also got rewritten and thrown out several times, thanks to Hill. Really, it's a wonder anything got done before he resigned.

>>715301948
No.

>>715288335
I always thought it was because MK is gory.
Anyways, I'd take 2 fighting game guest characters over 4 WB properties they're currently looking to promote as guest characters. MK is easily the worst from the guest character standpoint, it's so schitzophrenic.

>>715303686
Guests in MKX were great. Jason, Leatherface, Predator, and Alien were awesome choices.

>>715303848
>half the guest spots hogged by horror movie characters for no reason other than WB owns them
>we had freddy krueger in 9 so we might as well have jason vorhees in x, who cares that they cant even fight
>alien vs predator so they can fight like in that famously shit movie
>leatherface because ed boon was friends with the guy who played him
Abysmal. Especially since both Tremor and Triborg are probably the best DLC characters MK has ever had.

>>715304121
You're the only person I have ever heard have a problem with the guest characters in MKX. They're universally loved, because they fit with the tone.

>b-b-b-but warner bros owns them
Who fucking cares?

>>715284737
I still hop on umk3
It's a legit game

>>715285861
kof xv was legit
14 was rough as fuck but some of the chars were nice looking.
kyo looked like shit though so fuck that game.
samsho being egs exclusive for that long with DELAY BASED NETCODE killed it.
I dropped it day 1 and went back to 2 and special

>>715299675
>>715301336
Man, WB really deserves to go under.
Releasing these rushed turds for $70 only to then monetize them like fortnite anyway.

>>715301948
No. She was unironically a strong woman that tried to uplift men and treasure them.

In both injustice games the good wonderwoman shits on the bad one for being just what you described

>>715304378
>because they fit with the tone.
???
Random old ass horror movies have nothing to do with MK, even putting Freddy in 9 was a bizzare choice. MKX isn't horror-themed, it's just drab. There are so many MK characters that weren't present in X that deserved that spot much more than fucking leatherface and you know it. You could make the argument that the capeshit in 1 or whatever the theme in 11 was, also "fit the tone" because their source material is gory like MK (and not much else)
And if you think disliking cameos is an uncommon opinion, then you must not see much discussion of these games. At least a clear majority of players would say that making half the DLC roster cameos is a total waste.

>>715305074
>Random old ass horror movies have nothing to do with MK
And Darth Vader has nothing to do with Soul Calibur, your point?

>You could make the argument that the capeshit in 1 or whatever the theme in 11 was, also "fit the tone" because their source material is gory like MK (and not much else)
MK11's guest characters sucked except for Spawn. Robocop served as sort of an ad-hoc Stryker, but that was basically it. Joker, Rambo, and Terminator were shit.

>And if you think disliking cameos is an uncommon opinion
Where did I say that?

>>715284558 (OP)
No wonder Tekken is so shit right now

>>715305567
You just proved my point. Robocop doesn't need to exist in a game series where Striker is a character. They even gave him a sektor inspired headgear piece / costume to further rub it in our wounds that we got fucking robocop instead of a single (1) cyborg character.
And this goes for every single guests. There simply isn't one that would be better than an existing character, especially when many have sat out several games in a row.
>darth vader has nothing to do with SC
Well yeah. And the horror movie character have nothing to do with MK other than being arbitrarilt put into it, probably by execs. And no, they do not fit the MKX tone. MKX is as unhorrorific as they come. Shinnok is literally beaten by the power of love.
