Mortal Kombat X - 4/14/2015

[The Lonious Monk]

[Bad] Trailers very rarely include gameplay mechanics in the same manner as they are presented during gameplay.

Fixed.

The entire point of a video game trailer is to demonstrate the gameplay mechanics. Good trailers do this all the time. In this trailer, for example, we learn that...

- X-ray moves are back

- Interactive environments like the ones in Injustice will be in MKX

- Weapons are likely making a comeback

- And obviously, fatalities

You'd have a point if they were showing actual gameplay in the trailer, but they weren't. It was just a trailer to get fans hype. I don't know why I'm arguing with you. The shit looked stupid in the context of the present action. But that is to be expected with Mortal Kombat. It doesn't mean the game won't be good.

The g.o.a.t better be on the game, I'm whooping niggas asses!!!!!

@genocidecutter

You was one of them street fighter fan boys that got crushed when MK took over the arcades huh? I remember nobody was even playing street fighter anymore lol. Street fighter 2 dropped and they got the crowed back. Then when MK 2 dropped that crippled the street fighter franchise for a minute. Lines would be starting outside of the arcade to play. Street fighter started to come out with all kinds of different variations and shit(super, turbo, extreme, super duper southernplayalistikcadalacmusic turbo extreme special edition etc etc...). It took Killer instinct to dethrone MK 2, not street fighter. They finally bounced back with street fighter alpha But then MK3 dropped with the new combo system(jacked from killer instinct but it was fair because they jacked they style). Didn't shit on them this time but it did put a huge dent back in their armor. The other MK's just gave them competition. You saw what happened when MK 9 dropped, shit felt like when MK first came out all over again. So you see, MK has always been >>>>>>> street fighter. MK is like the only game in history that literately crowded the arcades to a point where people had to stand outside. People who didn't even play was watching people play lol.

You not old enough to remember most of this going on so I wanted to just kick some knowledge. I remember the maker of street fighter saying that MK was just a "phase" lol.

Fuck street fighter. With their gay ass characters. Mortal Kombat was dark as fuck, gruesome, and had a movie that didnt suck cox n dix when it came out. I loved playing as Smoke. I think that was in the 3rd or 2nd one. Pretty much all the Ninja's i loved. Sub Zero, Noob Saibot, Rain, Ermac, Reptile, Smoke, Scorpion. They were all the shit.

Y'all delusional if y'all think mk > sf. I'll give you mk 1 cause it was new and mk 2 cause it improved on first but that's it. It didn't get good again til mk 9 and ppl don't even play that anymore. SSf2 turbo still get burn at tournaments and that game is old as fuck

 

[KINGEC]

That wiz khalifa song is dope

White folk hatin' doe.

 

[Bcotton5]

Umk3 is a good game imo

Mk2 prolly the best

 

[The Lonious Monk]

Nobody with any sense things Mortal Kombat is a better fighting game series than Street Fighter. Plenty of people think Mortal Kombat is a more fun fighting game series than Street Fighter, and that's fine.

 

[IamNumberOne]

I thought mk3 was wack umk3 is my fav of the series tho then 2 the mayb 1..had trilogy for n64 but that was w.e then it got foggy after that till mk9 bro in law has mk vs dc but that game is w.e to me too

 

[silverfoxx]

Yooo that dark hip hop beat worked soooooo well.. gave it a special gangsta feel. Fuck what those redneck closed minded folks are saying, I hope MKX really add a dark hip hop feel to it. Shit would be epic.

In the end to those of us who aren't die hard fighting game fans that's all that matters. Fun factor >>>>>> technicalities.

So is it safe to say that with MK9 being a revamp and retelling of the MK - MK3 narrative that MKX will basically reimagine MK 4 and it's sequels?

Certainly seems that way with the implication that there will be open environments and a reintroduction of weapons.

once it went 3d it got wack. the stiffness of the gamplay was magnified. but i think 9 brought it back.

This. 20 years later people are still playing Super Turbo. Who still playing MK2? Hell you can barley find people playing MK9 online

The story mode in mk is better than any street fighter story.

 

[Alkinduz]

MK Deception was a superb (3d) fighter, the different martial art styles per character(2 styles n 1 weapon style) and interactive levels were the shit.

 

[Alkinduz]

SF fell of gameplay wise after 3rd strike, part 4 has a smaller player field(which is fucked up for a 2d fighter) and less moves(parry/sprint n dash).

 

[Alkinduz]

Those fellas still playing super sf turbo probably still rock walkmens lol.

 

[earth two superman]

The only SFs I play are the Ps1 alphas and occasionally the hd version of Turbo

 

[jaxn]

can't wait for this. I wonder who'll be included in this game from the 3D series?

 

[The Lonious Monk]

SF fell of gameplay wise after 3rd strike, part 4 has a smaller player field(which is fucked up for a 2d fighter) and less moves(parry/sprint n dash).

This isn't true on any account. 3rd Strike had 20 characters. The original SFIV had 19 and USFIV is up to 44. As far as moves, the original SFIV kept the dash and replaced the Parry system with the Focus system. It also added in Ultras to go along with Supers. So, the game mechanics were about even between 3rd Strike and Vanilla SFIV. Once again, SFIV had continuously evolved and had more things added, so in USFIV we see a game with more options than 3rd Strike. Even if you don't want to include USFIV, AE still had more characters and mechanics options than 3rd Strike.
