It's DDR with an MK skin slapped on. Some neat characters and concepts, but a super shitty addition to the series in a lot of ways. I was a massive MK fan before 3 hit.

Sheeva rocks. It's a shame about the dial-a-combos, if not for that it would be the best game in the series.

He's solid, sure. NRS has always sucked at balance.

I'm always amazed when people act stupid or incompetent. What do you get out of it? Is there a special thrill you get for being told you suck?

Also joke's on you because one of the people who posts in almost every single MK or fighting thread here legitimately can't seem to beat him. So what you said just sounded like a typical comment here about Mortal Kombat.

>I'm not saying she was top tier

That's because she's always been bottom tier in every game she's been in. I like her too, the concept and design is cool and as with Baraka I like using her anyways. But as a competitive character she sucks. And that sucks.

He's talking about casual play, where he sort of has a point. It's designed so that new players can pick up characters quickly. You just learn their couple of special moves, which are also designed to be easily performed and go to town. I was the one who mentioned my mom being able to kick ass with Mileena in MK2 and fatality people when she won and it wasn't a joke.

Street Fighter has more traditional balance where they tried to make the characters all roughly as good as one another, but they also have very different playstyles. So it's not just learning new moves, it's learning new moves and how to play rushdown or tutle etc. You need to know your character and your opponent in and out to know how to fight them in a way you don't really have to in MK.

They're just different, for different audiences.

I like Sheeva and Baraka even if they suck ass.

Sorry I wasn't into the latest kid's cartoons when I was in university. :)

Nothing beats MK3's designs

There will always be people who shit on MK, especially around here. You just gotta roll with it. There are people who take fighters (or games in general) very seriously and to them the appeal of silly fun like MK just doesn't make sense.

I'm with you on it mostly being 1 and 2 though. 3 was one of my first big video game disappointments. Somewhere between the run button and the auto combos it just felt very different and not as much fun. It wasn't terrible and did give us some cool characters, but I didn't get nearly as into it as the other ones. Though also it was around that time I started to move to King of Fighters.

I did really like MK9 though and Injustice rocks my world. MKX looks good too but I haven't bothered with it yet.

>But that's exactly what an ultimate edition is.

Which is why I said that in the last line of my post.

I see the ultimate version as the equivalent of a Third Strike is to vanilla or Second Impact. You no longer have to buy the whole game again.

I disagree with the notion that because they have plans on adding more characters that the original game is incomplete. I didn't think Street Fighter III was incomplete when it was released. I think it was a full fighter, then Capcom kept working on it. That's how they've been developing their fighters for years.

Anyways, I'm done work so it's time to stop 4channing for the day. I personally think the way fighters do DLC these days is fantastic and a much better way of updating than we had in the past. If you disagree, that's okay. But I'm still happy with the state of things.

DLC isn't always great, but it sometimes can be and when it's not it's easy to ignore. Later, friends!

MK: Sub Zero
MKII: Sub Zero, Mileena, Baraka
MK3: Sub Zero, Mileena, Sheeva

Sheeva sucks and I don't care. I love her.
