It would be nice to have an NRS game where they have to do a completely different type of animation.

I always imagined if NRS made a mahvel game they'd make Magneto a super slow zoner thats chucking metal at people and making barriers. Like he'd be Dr. Fate but slower.

I think they should go back to putting funny digitized little men in their game who get their heads knocked off, it would be a lot better than their current "photobucket 3D modelling Fullsail student portfolio" aesthetic. Also maybe they wouldn't traumatize their workers that way.

Yeah, I seriously do not enjoy 99% of them anymore. The old ones were cartoony violence that, while sometimes yucky, didn't churn the stomach the way the modern poo poo does. Knowing that a bunch of artists and programmers were also traumatized in making them makes it even worse.

I do like playing Pretty Kombat Princess Dressup, tho

Yeah fatalities just aren't fun at all anymore. They're way, way too fuckin gross. Uppercutting someone's head off is cool. Crushing someone under an MK cabinet is cool. Graphically bisecting someone and lovingly rendering all their organs spilling out is not fun. (Ferra Torr throwing the rider through someone's chest like a javelin is pretty funny though). Also everyone's faces in Injustice look weird to me I don't know why but there's a distinctly uncanny valley to everyone's expressions that would have been mitigated by a more cartoony, comic book aesthetic than what we got

Also NRS games play like everyone's a loving robot why is the combat so stiff and clunky. It's like I'm playing rock em sock em robots but with horrifically oppressive zoning and extremely questionable balance. Everyone still moves like it's MK1. Also I know they're making up for characters that were terrible digitized actors but character design in MK is bad everyone looks stupid.

This is why I actually busted out laughing at the notion of an NRS smash clone. It’s been a long while so someone can correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t Mortal Kombat 11 have negative edge for normal buttons by default?

As in, you have to go into the options and toggle a switch to make your normals happen on button press and not button release? I swear that was an actual thing I remember having to do, and my mind was boggled over what kind of horrible gremlin people would design a fighting game that rear end backwards.

Yeah, given everything it's been up to lately, it makes a certain amount of sense that it would've at least been trying to get NRS to work on three if not four games like that simultaneously.

Things might be slightly calmer if the Warner/Discovery spin-off goes through next year, but in the meantime, every single element within WB seems like it's visibly panicking.

NRS games are kinda interesting in how different their mechanics are from every other 2D fighter but the dial-a-combo system where you have to input all your buttons like 300f before they actually come out is so loving off-putting to me.

Also I want a toggle to turn off all the Epic Gamer Gore and the 5 minute long super animations that only exist to show it off.

I forget which MK game/character it was but I was watching a match and one character got her eyes stabbed out like 3 times in the same round. After a certain point the gore doesn't even make video game sense.

I wish I could at least turn off the long animations in MKXI, it's worth wise a perfect fighting game.

I like MKX but the older MKs with all the cartoony poo poo I bounce off of for some reason and I don't know why, it's either the controls or me getting annoyed that I can't do fatalities right

11 is nice too from what I played but knowing someone legit died on the job making it makes me ill

Sure, but MK presents fighting games' aesthetic at its most pure: tremendous acts of crippling, life-threatening violence that gets immediately reset at every round with a conclusive rejoinder by the winning avatar upon total victory.

MK11 and Injustice 2 have legit some of the best facial capture in video games at the moment and whoever their new cinematographer is knows how to frame super moves and fatalities to be cool looking and visceral but also knows when to cut or frame a shot so it doesnt linger on somebody bleeding out or anything else too disgusting.

Every game has its adherents, but IME there's a weirdly higher likelihood of "I don't like fighting games I like THIS fighting game" with NRS, KI, and DoA than the rest of the FGC.
