>muh game is better than yours
Yeah I don't ever remember really anyone saying "mk sucks, sf is way better etc back in the dayat least not until I started browsing /vr :^) . Everyone had/played both.

I think a lot of the charm with mk was all the secrets which wouldn't work now in this internet age. For quite awhile me and my friends didn't know all the moves. Hell it was awesome just to see the cpu perform a fatality on us since we couldn't do it ourselves. Oh and trying to decode what reptile was hinting when he would randomly jump down b4 a match. Good times.

>Confirmed for not being old enough/born to remember MK in its prime.

Is hating on MK a new meme or something? Some youtube "gamer" telling the kiddies that MK was terrible?

No one is going to argue that MK is one of the best fighters but it sure as hell is a lot of fun. If you think it's the worst then you haven't played too many fighters.

>Not knocking the lore

I will.

MK1 was about an old ancient fighting tournament that was corrupted by a Sorcerer. Badass premise.

MK2 throws in Outworld and the whole 10 victorys thing... Ok.. now the tournament will take place in Outworld with fucking talking tree's, acid pits, and spikes on the ceiling. Alright that's actually pritty gud. Different but in some ways better.

MK3 has Shao Kahn pissed and attacking earth thru portals.... Sooo no more tournament and now the fights happen in streets, subways, and ro-roof::YAWN::rooftops. Oh and now we have a bunch of cyborgs.

I really stopped caring about the "lore" from 3 on. Although to be fair, even tho it was awesome, it started going off the tracks with 2.
