DoA is a better fighting game series then MK and had a better gimmick.

I continue to be glad that not liking the violence and gore means I will never have to care at all about MK. Maybe it turns out to be the best fighting game ever made and steals 100% of every other game's playerbase, in which case well, time to move on to other games I've been meaning to play (it won't do this). Also "player expression" has been a buzzword for a while and means about as much as "loose" and "emergent gameplay" for how it's used 99% of the time.

Was it Marvel Infinite? Also if this was MVCI then that's real rich because the only player expression I remember is loving Ultron/Dormammu

The Dave posted:Honestly I thought all the backgrounds looked incredible and way ahead of SF6/T8. Ya of the footage they showed the backgrounds really stood out. The draw distance in like Johnny's mansion stage just seemed to keep going. The Shaolin temple training ground stage and the, I guess, Edenian garden stage were especially beautiful looking.

RevolverDivider posted:MK11 felt so loving godawful to control and move around in. The NRS style seems to be playing with characters who are congealed in a full body layer of mud to make sure they don't feel good to move and they're going to make a billion dollars just by jangling keys anyway so there's nothing in MK12 that could sucker me into giving them a third chance. Yep bad game

AndyElusive posted:Nah, there's literally an entire category of "Adult Only" Steam games. What they block from sale outright is wildly inconsistent and based on whoever happens to be working that day. Generally if it looks anime it’s chances of being banned from steam skyrocket Edit: porn or otherwise. Chaos;head was slapped with the “child porn, ban from sale” flag until twitter bullied them into unbanning it (unprecedented and unlikely to see any decision overturned ever again)

Sajam mentioned on stream today that this weekend he gets to record an hour of hands-on footage so presumably a number of FGC personalities who are less inherently predisposed to MK will be weighing in soon.

They've diversified a lot over the years and proved that they're one of the best in the world, but their home is MK

Mortal Kombat 1 may be better than MK11, but there's no way it will be better than MK3 at a friend's sleepover when my mom didn't want me playing it

Watching Max's coverage of MK1 on his stream, it looks like there's no stage interactables, at least so far. Hope they're gone!

Cleretic posted:So, a weird question about fighting game history, that I feel like someone here has the stupidly esoteric knowledge to answer: From a bit back, but there is a negative infinity percent chance that this is true. I distinctly remember an issue of GamePro having a tier list for Mortal Kombat 2 with an entire ten point matchup chart and overall totals for each character. I'm sure they had this for a lot of the big name fighting games, but MK2 is the one they stands out in my head because Reptile was dead last and that made me sad as a child

Hogama posted:It's possible that a Tier List in the letter style wasn't even informally made for a while into fighting game history, but yeah I remember stuff like this. Like, I had specifically this issue, even. people really undersell how quickly fighting game knowledge developed because while a lot of the language is different and idk how accurate a tier list this is for super sf2 they're still basically talking about the same things we talk about now. like 'balrog's bad matchups are mostly low tiers so they dont really matter that much' is a concept that some people struggle to grasp in 2023.

"Balrog's bad matchups are mostly low tiers so they really don't matter oops the best Balrog player got knocked out of EVO Top 4 by a Hakan." is one of my favorite Street Fighter matches ever. Together with Alex Valle Hugo vs Bonchan Sagat and Ghandi vs FSB.

hakan isnt even that killer of a matchup against balrog? it was more lack of matchup knowledge and hakan having abusable stuff if you dont know the matchup. pretty much every tier list from both before and after that match has hakan/balrog as 5:5 or 5.5:4.5
