It was more soulful before they went running back to the palette swapped ninja well.

The cyborgs were literally the same fucking thing.

MK3 was too over the top and tongue in cheek from the get go; it completely undermined the gore and the dime-store costume "design" didn't do it any favors either.

MKII had the best stylistic balance; it allowed for goofiness but preserved a degree of seriousness and effective violence. And the costumes were cheap looking but at least didn't look scrounged from a rec center lost-and-found locker.

you fucking idiot
>>12004078
you're really gonna diss my boi mk3 like that

Based. Sektor was my favorite.

Agree, but I do like both styles. MK3, Ultimate and Trilogy play so much better, and it's because of the run button and combo system. MKII is like going from Street Fighter 2 Turbo to SF2.

vanilla mk3 stryker is hilarious. what a shit character. doesnt even have his gun move. what the fuck were they thinking? not that hes even good in umk3 but at least he has the infinite. i dont understand how the devs could release this game with several shit characters that were immediately obviously shit to anyone who played them, yet they felt perfectly fine with kabal being obviously overpowered and clearly the strongest character in the game.
>but sub-zero's infinites
thats true but that stuff wasnt intended. kabal's bullshit obviously was because anyone can do it. hes easy to play (besides instant air fireballs which you could argue the devs didnt intend because they didnt realize people could do inputs like that that fast)

don't cry about it

Stryker is problematic in the present day.

>>12004060 (OP)
Wrong.

why is mk3 so ugly compared to mk2?

>>12005345
It dropped all of the Shaw Bros imagery and went in a more Gwar direction. Very bad choice imo.

>>12004060 (OP)
Unmasked humans were always the least popular MK characters, so eh nah. Adding the ninjas just gave people more of what they wanted. The lack of ninjas made you appreciate Kano for having a cyber eye compared to a guy like Stryker

You kinda have to lean into the creative or magical with new MK characters because we already have Liu, Johnny, and Sonya as the "normal people" and nobody will ever replace them in popularity

MK has always been ugly

>>12005657
MK has always been ugly and MK fans have always been dead serious about their Nickelodeon Halloween-tier Power Rangers fighting game.

>>12004060 (OP)
I legitimately liked MK4 the best

>>12005973
This shit terrified 6 year old me kek. I found the gore to be funny, but jumpscares were too much at the time.

>>12006026
Same but it was more because it looked like an old woman , I also thought shit like Toxic Avenger was hilarious as a kid though

>>12005136
>Raiden but a purple ninja
Vanilla 3 was best

>>12005687
Power Rangers is queer jap shit. MK is American alpha shit
