https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDww1S1GLvE Hello and welcome to Mortal Kombat! Ever since its inception, the MK series has been pushing boundaries, kicking rear end and taking names. Now at the eve of MK1 (the 12th one, konfusingly), it's time we have a new thread! Let's get to the questions: What's different between 11 and 1? Well, there's a lot. The two biggest changes are the removal of kustom variations and the addition of the kameo system. Kustoms are gone, everyone is just the one kharacter. Kameos are similar to assists from Marvel vs Kapcom, but you don't tag between partners like in 2, 3 or infinite. It makes sense in kontext of the game. How's the story looking? MK is known for its rich story, and MK1 is no exception! At the end of the last game, Liu Kang became the god of thunder and fire and kreated a new world where everyone kould be free and happy. Well, that's not going to happen, but the extent to which Liu fucks up will be for MK1's story mode! When is the game koming out? It's koming out on September 19, 2023 for Switch, Xbox Series, PS5 and Steam. No krossplay on launch sadly. How's the netcode? It's sad that this even has to be an issue but I'm here to tell you that MK has state of the art netcode that stands as some of the best in the business. MK is koming soon! Get hype

the variations were kool, brought a lot of player expression to the table, plus it reminds me of melty blood moons and i smile when i think of melting even tho i don't play that game

it's because it's too slow and the kharacters are a bit samey. lots of midscreen footsies dudes. MKX had a lot of high/low mixup kharacters and fast gameplay w/ the run button and a lot of ppl prefer that

Minidust posted:Yeah at least on a purely psychological level, picking a Kameo character is much better than deciding which special moves you're leaving behind. Variations felt like adding complexity for complexity's sake, solving a problem that didn't exist, not unlike the "fighting styles" of 5 thru 7. Man did anybody like Fighting Styles?? Felt like something that should have been a single character's gimmick, at most. The difference is that variations are tuned for kompetition and balance (even if certain kombatants had ones that were just better than the other two) and fighting styles were slapped together as a gimmick

So I've been playing deadly alliance and Deception and I can't help but notice that the game has such slow forward and back dashes. Is there any way to wavedash or make yourself go faster in some way in those games or is my sneaking suspicion that they're not very good games correct

pretty soft girl posted:Iirc the big thing with DA (and maybe Deception?) is that a lot of good poking normals and strings can be cancelled into backdash to make them safe i found this video by the GOATs ketchup and mustard that explains deadly alliance and yes, you can dash cancel and wavedash in DA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIPRTY6Qv2g

Jamesman posted:Like for console exclusives? I didn't realize it was a significant issue in fighting games because I'm not big on fighting games overall, but I think if a version of a game has a platform exclusive, the other versions should cost less since you're getting less content. I thought it was funny how Kratos wasn't allowed in tournaments because it wasn't fair to XBox people who didn't know how to play against him though. No, fighting games were notorious for selling balance patches as new $60 games. That's why Street Fighter 4 is a 4 game series.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVPkIQdrxSE ketchup and mustard got some video capture time w/ the game at evo. there's a lot of cool things about this video but the coolest has to be the clicking noise playing throughout. this is an option in the game where it'll play a clicking noise faster or slower depending on how close or far you are from your opponent. this is for visually impaired gamers who need an audio cue to help with footsies idk about you but i think that's really sick

Floodixor posted:hey so as a kid of the 80s and 90s I grew up with MK1 through 3, of course, but then never played any of them again until MK11. I played it on gamepass several months ago for quite a bit, forgot about it, and then it went on sale on Steam with the ultimate edition for 8 bucks so I got it and I've been playing it a lot lately my biggest complaint is that it replaced the run button of mkx w/ wavedashing. wavedashing/dashbocking isn't new to mk (mk9 famously had a dashblock that defined the meta), but i don't like how it was done in mk11. in mk11, dash animations aren't standardized so wavedashing isn't either. iirc it has to do with how far the character's left foot goes off the ground when stepping. this means that some characters (fujin) have crazy fast dashes that make them top tier, while others (noob saibot) don't so they're stuck in baby bitch tier tldr: i think movement in mk11 is wack and i'm glad mk1 is going back to mk9 style dashblocking

Floodixor posted:was there anything just about the base game of MK11 that really irked people? Like how is MK10 better than MK11 for instance, I guess. I dunno, I like MK11 a lot aside from the krypt grindy bullshit but I don't know a ton about fighting games like you guys do no run button is the big one. run button in mkx allowed for some crazy combo and neutral (the gameplay where neither opponent is at an advantage) moving back and forth also this is really like personal preference but i think the variations in x were better done than in 11. then they moved to kustom variations and i think that was a terrible idea so mkx all the way

With a mighty god capable of rewriting time on the side of good, it's impossible for evil to be much of a threat unless said god is a colossally stupid fuckup. in the prematch conversation between li mei and liu kang, liu says that he cannot eliminate injustice from the world because of how it's made
