Mortal Kombat is an awful franchise, the only redeeming quality being the campiness of the live action stuff. The TV show was legitimately entertaining in that Xena-esque fashion.

what game was this song based off?
did it have any relationship to this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PaUMgMi6ULk

>>2313476
yes, because people are not allowed to enjoy things you do not enjoy and the fact that you don't enjoy something is important to the world at large.

>>2313482
It was based on MK1, the dude's narration is pretty much a roll call for all MK1 fighters.

UMK3 best game

Best music in the entire series, and exclusive to the Genesis version.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWG3tBpOZ78

Best character select screen music I've heard in a fighter anyway. Gets me pumped as fuck.

>>2313839
Scorpion master race reporting in.

Although MK2 is the best/peak of the series, I get a huge nostalgia boner for the first MK making that my fav of the franchise.

>>2313839
>UMK3 best game

Why is UMK3 better than MKT?

I'm seriously asking, I don't know.

>>2313914
MKT is pretty good, at least the PS1 version (I don't know about Saturn/N64) but basically the load times killed it. Also UMK3 has better balance although it has less characters (not saying a lot since UMK3's balance is a little whacky).

At the end of the day I'd say is more a matter of preference than anything. I 'feel' UMK3 to be better, but MKT is not bad.

Oh, and when I talk about UMK3 I mean the original arcade version. I take MKT before any of the UMK3 console versions any time.

>>2313919
The Saturn version is just the PS1 version except it can't handle transparancy and instead dithers.

The N64 version is complete and total ass, unless you want Ninja Sub-Zero with all of unmasked Sub-Zero's moves.

>>2313921
I remember the 64 version having ass sound quality too due to the compression. (I think it was crammed on a 96 MEG cart)This was the only version I had until I most recently picked up the PSX and Saturn versions.

It was like $89.95 new back in Christmas of 1996, probably due to the MEGS.

Best thing about the PSX version are the cheats. I think you can do 1-button fatalities like the SNES version of MK3.

>>2313470
It's "Get Ready for THE NEXT Battle", get it right.

>>2313914
>>2313919
MKT mostly has a bunch of broken characters like Noob and the bosses, though in the UMK3 world of Human Smoke/Ermac/Kabal/Nightwolf I guess it's not that much of a difference.

I'm assuming there's some minute differences in play between the versions but I wouldn't know myself.

>>2313839

Some months ago I dumped some of the endings in a MK thread, I forgot how badass Sektor's ending was.

>>2313839
MK: Scorpion
MK2: Baraka
UMK3: Nightwolf

Which MK is best for the SNES, MK3 or UMK3?

I've heard that UMK3 doesn't have all of the fatalities of MK3 and sounds and moves are limited.

>>2314914
I like how the robots look like a middle aged guy in a knockoff Sentai halloween costume. Also like how Stryker just looks like a fat guy.

Mortal Kombat wasn't worth much until Johnny Cage started punching women in the groin.

>>2316946
A post-modern statement on the topic of gender equality.

>>2315754
MK3 is a very good port, graphics and sound quality aside. UMK3 doesn't even have the announcer sounds.

I mained Johnny because of how awesome the Shadow Kick is. It looks amazing, sounds like the other guy got hit by a truck, and flattens fighters in a millisecond.

>>2316960
So there's nothing Ultimate about UMK3? And o top of that, it's actually a downgrade?

Wow, good thing I went from MK2 to MKT and skipped ll this nonsense.

>>2316978
UMK3 was an arcade game and an upgrade in every way. I just don't like the SNES port.

>>2315792
I never liked either of those things

MK related. Pure cannon.

>>2313476
The early MK games have the best secrets and cheat codes of any game that isn't Sonic 2 or 3.

>>2316946
Pretty sure they're immune to it in the game.

We live in strange times when Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter actually run on the same engine.

Always threw me off how every character in Klassik MKs ('cept for Goros and whatnot) had pretty much the same build and shared the same basic handling -with only some minor tweaks in speed and reach between them- I'm guessing to simplify the game balancing beyond the special moves as much as possible.

I had great memories with UMK3 on SNES. I follow local game magazine that time, so I know it's not the only version out there. But only recently I found out many things it cut out.
I was so frustrated that I can't do any Animality, even with one-button fatalities cheat code. I did all the prerequisite, third round, did a Mercy, but no avail.
Because actually, there's no animalities for the SNES version, duh.
I think it removed a stage, and Reptile was using generic ninja stance, not his unique one.
>>2316960
By announcer sounds, do you mean Shao Kahn 's voice during beginning and end of a round? The SNES version still has those. As well as 'choose your destiny' and his hearty laugh everytime I input a cheat code.
He might lost few of his vocabulary that I don't know of, because even Scorpion lost his iconic 'get over here!' and only left the 'come here!' one.

I love the first MK the most. Can't stop playing it. That game is a work of art, look at the backgrounds mayne! MK2 is great too, its just cheap though. The AI will rape your anus. Never played 3 that much... One day I will.

Street Fighter is better in every possible way.

>>2317951
I would mostly agree but MK(especially 1&2) were waaay more fun to play with friends then any of the current street fighter games out at the time.

Nothing in SF2 could compare to nut punches and fatalities where you burn your friend down to his bones. In all honesty, MK was really a "brah" fighting game.

>>2318124
All I get from this post is "I can't adapt". If pushing one extra button is too taxing for you maybe you should play something simpler than fighting games.

>>2319324
not the guy but im pretty sure they came up with the block thing to offset the crossups and teleports
but yeah it's just a matter of taking time to get used to it

>>2319324
>>2319327
>>2318124
Personally, I prefer a block button because it allows you to not have to deal with the finnicky back block that some games have, where you might find yourself walking backwards if the hit you were anticipating never comes.

Yes yes, the answer to that is "git gud", but I don't have so much time to dedicate to a fighting game that I'll know frame-for-frame an enemy's attacks and when to start pressing back so as to not actually walk backwards.

>>2319332
>where you might find yourself walking backwards if the hit you were anticipating never comes.

I have just the opposite problem. I WANT to retreat but the game freezes me in place and makes me block. I hate that kind of lack of precise control.

>>2319324
Block button removes crossups and lef/right blocking, all it does is dumb the game down for babies who have poor defense and fundamentals.

Its a shit mechanic and only exists because the developers of the game had no idea about fighting games.

>>2317964
I like to call it a drunk thinking man's fighting game. limited to no combos, pure rock paper sissors, all the characters are almost the same save special moves/fatalities.

perfect game to play with my non streetfighter playing friends.

>>2319572
mk has plenty of other mechanics to anguish over. and every character has an anti air just as fast and powerfull as srk.

>>2319572
That's very nice dear

>>2319572
thanks for your input, but you should make a SF thread if you care that much

>>2319572
Crossups aren't the be all, end all of fighting games. You can have a good game without them.

>>2319969
Crossups ad another layer of depth to the game, mortal kombat is an objectively bad game block button is just one of the things that make it bad
>moves cant trade
>projectiles don't clash
>characters all have the same walk/jump/normals

Its a poorly made barebones game with no depth made by people who have no idea what they are doing.

>You can have a good game without them.

>>2320365
While I agree with you that the MKs were all fundamentally pretty bad, they were still super fun in their day and even though Street Fighter 2 was technically better, I always liked MK's characters and general feel more. Also fundamentally they're just very different games. SF is a very footsies heavy series which MK was never trying to be, it's more about spamming specials at each other which certainly isn't good for depth and balance, but it was still crazy fun.

Hell even my mom could play Mortal Kombat back in the day. She would almost always pick Mileena and when she won she would do her eating fatality cheering on "Yeah Mileena! Eat em up and spit out the bones!" So accessibility isn't always a bad thing.

>>2320394

Street Fighter fans are just butthurt because an "inferior" fighting game like MK was in the end more fun to play

>>2320394
I don't even remember any major differences between the gameplay in MK2 and SF2, other than the block button, and that one favoured super cancelling while the other used juggling.

Both allowed normal chaining as well, in MK2 you could do lp->lp->lp->GET OVER HERE. SF2 had more normal moves with different hit stun timings, so it was easier to chain in there, but could do it in both.

MK3 then went full retarded with dial-a-combos, which weren't THAT bad honestly, other than a lot of them being way too long (Sheeva had a 48% damage one as I recall).

>>2320424
Fighting game fans in general tend to be super pissy over people liking ones that aren't their preferred fighter. And SF fans in specific are the worst for it.

>>2320442
Well remember that chaining was barely a thing in the original SFII. It was originally a glitch that they almost took out but decided to leave in because they didn't think anyone would really notice. They had no idea it would end up being one of the fundamentals of the genre.

The general difference between SF and MK is the amount that specials are used. In SF they're a lot more unsafe so you're usually trying to get into footsie range and bait an opportunity to use a special.

In MK on the other hand specials are more your bread and butter. Almost everyone has some form of projectile and many have teleports and other movement based moves.

That did change somewhat with 3 and it's dial combos, but the general flow of them is similar and even MK9 and Injustice (the first genuinely great game they've made) are much more special heavy than Street Fighter.

>>2320450
>It was originally a glitch that they almost took out but decided to leave in because they didn't think anyone would really notice. They had no idea it would end up being one of the fundamentals of the genre.

As I recall that was super cancelling, not chaining.
By chaining I mean that a LP stuns the opponent long enough that you can recover faster and still connect a MP move.

>>2320391

He said name a single GOOD game

>>2320489
He probably means the old CPS1 chains glitch that let you do wierd stuff like lp,lp,lp,lp,lp,hp, SRK

No, he was right it was super canceling I was thinking of, got my terms mixed up in my head there.

>OP says "Mortal Kombat Only"

>>2320442
UMK3 is by far the /vr/ MK game with the most competitive play. I can't even halfway play it, it's very fast and reflex-oriented.

>>2320510
I could never really get into the combo system they did with the game, something just felt odd about it and even though I was all about MK back then, 3 remains kind of marred in my mind because of it. The combo system was also the worst part of 9 in my opinion.

>>2313839
MK: Sub Zero
MKII: Sub Zero, Mileena, Baraka
MK3: Sub Zero, Mileena, Sheeva

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

>>2313839
MK1 - Raiden when I just want to play, Subzero when I want to win

>>2313839
Rain forever. I'm also fond of Sheeva.

>>2320545
Sheeva is waifu material. My shameful 10 year old boner was proof.

>>2320502
You seem to misunderstand, GOOD game, name a GOOD game.

>>2320590
Ohh yeah I spilled loads to Sheeva. I just wish she wasn't literally the worst character in any game she's in.

>>2320595
Why does it not surprise me that an SFaglord is completely obsessed with cross up attacks?

>>2320545
Sheeva only sucks in MK9. She was great in MK3 and pretty good in Armageddon (awesome design too). I'm convinced they made her terrible in MK9 so they would never have to bring her back again.

>>2320684
Is my memory that bad? I remember her being a shitter back in the MK3 days as well. Maybe me and my friends just never figured out how to use her well... I never did get around to playing 4 at all. By then I had moved onto KoF and didn't get into it again till 9 where I tried very hard to make her viable with little success.

>>2320694
Because everyone plays the same outside of special moves, every character is viable. Sheeva's stomp is crazy powerful.

>>2320707
Huh.. I remember it being crazy unsafe and usually got punished when I tried to use it. But that said, it's been at least 15 years since the last time I played it. Any time I go back to an old MK for some nostalgic fun it's always been 2.

>>2320683
See >>2320365

>>2320684
Sheeva is bottom tier in UMK3

>>2320684
>>2320707
Sheeva is absolute garbage in MK3/UMK3, what the fuck are you smoking?

>>2320727
>>2320728
she plays fine for me :^)

>>2320520
Same. I just got the arcade collection and I can't do the MK3 combos at all. Something as simple as square, circle, circle, triangle won't connect most of the time. I do that first square and it just drops even though I hit the rest. I think just starting combos in general is really hard too because if you wait to see if your first hit connected it's already too late, it's dropped. And just landing that first hit is really hard since anytime you get near the AI it's going to hit you first or just throw you.

>>2320730
You have no idea how to play the game, your just a scrub mashing buttons against the easy AI :^)

>>2320730
UMK3 tier list

1.) Kabal
2.) Human Smoke
3.) Kung Lao
4.) Kitana
5.) Reptile
6.) Ermac
7.) Nightwolf
8.) Robot Smoke
9.) Kano
10.) Sindel
11.) Jax
12.) Sonya
13.) Stryker
14.) Scorpion
15.) Unmasked Sub-Zero
16.) Jade
17.) Liu Kang
18.) Sektor
19.) Classic Sub-Zero
20.) Cyrax
21.) Shang Tsung
22.) Mileena
23.) Sheeva

Sheeva is literally the worst character in the game

>>2320730
You either only ever play against AI or are just unfamiliar with the game in general. Sheeva has never even been above bottom 3 in any game she's been in.

>>2320760
This is fairly accurate.

>>2320760
The two Sub-Zeros play differently?

>>2320787
Very differently actually.

>>2320725
Ohh I saw that. It's that you're hanging around in a thread about a game you don't like just so you can bitch that it's not the game that you do like that I find funny.

>>2320760
The sad thing about this is that the MK9 tier list is almost identical.

>>2320760
There's no way Jade's that low

>>2314694
Du FAQ?

>>2320817
Sadly she is. The nice thing about MK is that even the shit characters are still pretty awesome, but the high tier ones are crazy broken.

>>2320450
So basically MK is more rushdown orientated, while SF is bait-and-punish.

But the truth is that most specials in MK could be punished extremely hard it you knew what you were doing and had good reflexes. So it was still as technical as SF, it just played faster. And the block button made it harder to do cross-ups, so you HAD to attack faster anyway - in return, blocking did tick damage all the time (which makes sense, using your arms to block a kick to the face will still hurt you a lot).

The whole discussion is a moot point anyway, Virtua Fighter has better gameplay than both MK and SF combined (it actually plays like a combination of both in some aspects).

>>2320857
>MK
>as technical as SF
LOL

>>2320857
>MK as technical as SF
>MK faster than SF
>Block button somehow makes your attacks faster
There's so much wrong with this post.

>>2320817
Her invincibility move takes too long to pull out, and she doesn't have much other than that.

All the high tier characters have some move that can make them run around or rush down more effectively.

>>2320760
I thought Human Smoke was the highest, due to having teleport, air throw, his spear throw, higher speed than Scorpion, AND A COMBO THAT UPPERCUTS THE ENEMY FOR JUGGLING THEM.

Kung Lao has like fifty infinities with his diagonal flying kick special

Reptile and Ermac have absurd juggling, so does Nightwolf, and Robo Smoke only needs to hit you three times to end the battle (teleport, air kick, air throw = 45% damage)

the fuck does Kitana do to be so high on the tier list? And why is Scorpion so low?

>>2320857
>So basically MK is more rushdown orientated, while SF is bait-and-punish.

Yup that's about right. And that was never meant to imply that the specials weren't easily punishable as well, just that they were more of the core game than in SF.

I've never liked any 3D fighter very much except Bushido Blade, but your opinion on VF is fine. Personally I think the King of Fighters between '98 and XI are the best 2D fighters around.

>>2320857
>Virtua Fighter has better gameplay than both MK and SF combined
Virtua Fighter is garbage, its better than MK but cant hold a candle to Street Fighter in any way shape or form, hell VF is not even as good as Tekken.

>>2320914
> hell VF is not even as good as Tekken.

I'm not even into 3D fighters but I've spent enough time in communities to know you're talking bullshit.

>>2320914
>VF is not even as good as Tekken.

You might as well be saying that VF is not as good of a racing game as Cruis'n USA, or not as good of a FPS as Redneck Rampage.

Tekken is a clown juggling simulator, not a fighting game.

>>2320934
>I have never played them but you are wrong because i said so.

>Tekken is a clown juggling simulator, not a fighting game.
That's pretty funny coming from someone in a mortal kombat thread

fighting fans are fucking faggots fucking fuck

>>2320940
>I have never played them but you are wrong because i said so.

It's more that I don't play them but I've spent enough time around people I know are skilled at both 2D and 3D and have never heard anyone I respected try to claim Tekken is a better game than Virtua Fighter.

I'm not saying that dozens of people I respect can't all be wrong where as some random schmuck in an MK thread is right, but I wouldn't bet on it.

>>2320950
Looking forward to playing Virtua Fighter at EVO?

Oh


Wait....

>>2320961
Nice try. Games get into EVO based on popularity, not viability as games. Or are you trying to say what's popular is what's good now? Next are you going to try and tell me that Killer Instinct and Smash Bros are great fighting games?

>>2320970
Why don't you ask on TZ or SRK which games better Tekken or VF?

>>2320970
>Killer Instinct
>Bad

>>2320935
Im sorry but you dont get to call any game a "clown juggling simulator" when you play mortal fucking kombat of all things.

You seem to have missed the point of the thread. We're just talking about MK. No one has tried to assert that it was the best fighting game out there. We're just talking about it because we like it.

It's mostly that Street Fighter troll who has derailed things with his bitching about why people made a thread about a fighting game series he didn't like.

Then some other idiot started comparing Tekken to Virtua Fighter and it got even worse.

what

>>2325187
It ended that way because it got cancelled, the ending contradicts the story of the games/movies

>>2325487
It was a live-action series, produced and distributed by the company Machinima. They didn't try and make a series in the Mortal Kombat engine or anything.

>>2325487
>>2325516
the Machinima series is called MK Legacy and it's absolutely awful

not in the "so bad it's amazing" way like Annihilation was

just terrible

It sounds like he is also shouting "SHOULDABOUGHTASEGA"

>>2327957
I remember on MK3 he had the easiest fatality to perform, by holding down a button and realeasing it he does some fatal electrocution hold.

>>2328284
>mk3
>raiden

>>2328284
That was 2, but you had to keep mashing block and LK (?) while he was doing it to complete the fatality - at least on SNES, that is.

The only honest-to-god fatality I ever managed to do was Scorpion's in MK2, the one where he shoots a fireball from his mouth and incinerates his opponent.

3hard5me

>>2328418
yeah, that's right. If you held HP (Y) for 8 seconds, you could perform Raiden's other fatality in MK2. You usually had to hold it before the "Finish Him!"

>>2330428
Wow... Even for 4chan that's lame.

My favorite thing to do in the whole series was in MK2. If you beat someone as Shang Tsung while transformed into Sub Zero, do the first part of his Fatality where you freeze your opponent and then shatter them. But instead of finishing it, you have enough time to morph into Scorpion and do the Toasty Fatality on them while they're still frozen. Being 15 I thought that was super bad ass.

>>2330486
"yo dawg, I put a fatality in your fatality so you can finish him while you finish him"

>>2330376
He said name a good game not name bad game.

>>2330486
Damn, I have to try this!

>>2330494
How would you do this for Johnny's triple fatality?

>>2330912
I'm not actually sure if you can. Scorpion's was the only one I got it to work consistently with, but also I didn't play Cage a ton back then.

>>2330912
You can do it with any fatality the same way

If you knock them into the dead pool they stay blue as they fall in iirc

>>2330992

I know HOW to perform the triple uppercut fatality, I am asking how one would phrase the YO DAWG I PUT X IN YOUR X SO YOU CAN Y WHILE YOU Y pasta to reflect the fact that Cage performs three fatalities.

Can we get that through your dense skull? I suspect that you might also be one half of those annoying "Name a good game, not a shit game" posts.

Was this any good?

the first MK was the best!

>>2313890

I agree MK2 was objectively the best, but I kick too much arse at it. I had the most fun with Deception just raging with a couple of friends, loser switches out. Making rules like 'no weapons', 'no weapons til last round' or 'only kicks' was fun.

Am I the only one who thinkgs MK3/UMK3/Trilogy's version of the Ninja costume feels like they were trying too hard?

That winning pose where they put their hands in the air like they're throwing a ball in the air is whack too.

MK1 and 2's ninjas were the coolest looking from the first trilogy. Who thought of that redesign in 3 should have been fired.

>>2331916
Almost all the costuming in that game looks like shit, but the ninjas were some of the least worst.

>>2331890
>Was this any good?
see >>2325691

The guy leading the project had no idea what he was doing and clearly clueless about MK. It's a "reimagining" by someone who doesn't know what's there in the first place. Raiden is literally a mental patient. Second series was even worse.

>>2331916
>Who thought of that redesign in 3 should have been fired.
John Tobias did all of the character design himself from MK1 through MK: Special Forces. He went into a really bad place with MK3 costume design, too much comic books and latex. But he did eventually leave, for the better. His character designs by the end were uninspired.

>>2332259
MK1 designs - God Tier
MK2 designs - God Tier
Most MK3 designs - Meh Tier

Who thought stryker was a good idea for MK? Guns and grenades ruin the fantasy element. Sub-Zero is now white and doesn't wear his iconic mask. Night Wolf, kabal, sindel = meh. The cyborgs I could go either way. At least Kano was done right/better.

>>2332314
>Guns and grenades ruin the fantasy element.
MK always had the tech stuff. Black Dragon and Special Forces go back to the first game. Bringing the fight to Earthrealm and incorporating urban environments was a great bold move and helped keep the series from stagnating. Stryker is a good character and always has been.

>doesn't wear his iconic mask
Change is not inherently bad.

>>2332326
Did we play the same game?

They had special forces that used magic(?) not so much explosives. Kano using knives was the only non fantasy move but knives are kool and also an ancient weapon so they get a pass. The stages in 3 were just plain boring compared to the first 2 MK's.

"change is not inherently bad."
No not always but MK3 definitley wasn't a change for the good.

>>2332259
I actually really like a lot of the MK3 costumes and designs. I do like the MK2 male ninjas better, but the MK3 female ninja outfit is my favorite in the whole series. Sheeva and Motaro look awesome as well. I've never been a huge fan of the cyber ninjas but I would hardly say he went to a bad place with the designs.

>>2332339
You really think Sonya's energy rings were supposed to be magic?? Sure Kano only attacked with his knives, but he has a fucking cybernetic eye and Jax has robot arms. MK's aesthetic has always been a mix of fantasy and sci-fi. That's a big part of what's so awesome about it.

I do agree the MK3 stages aren't generally as interesting as the outworld ones, but it does at least fit with what's happening in the game so I like it in that sense.

>>2331649

>>2332440

That's what it is. That's what Sonya, Jax, Stryker and other Earthrealm dudes are all about.

>>2332445
So lui King's fire ball, sub-zeros freeze, and johnny cages shadow kick all science. Gotcha.

>>2332448
>So lui King's fire ball, sub-zeros freeze, and johnny cages shadow kick all science. Gotcha.

I forgot about liu kang, he's shaolin so no SCIENCE

subzero is netherrealm ninja

johnny cage is pure awesome, no magic or SCIENE

actually reqwwrite my other post, replace earthrealm with Special Forces, i forgot about liu kang that guy's weird, like some crossing between netherrealm and earthrealm cause I remember in the movies he was the chosen one and there was a prophecy about him in netherrealm

I thin kung loa is also netherrealmb

btw, i dont know what the hell kabal is, he's really strange

>>2332430
For fuck sake, stop feeding him you faglord.

He's never going to change his response so all you're doing is wasting thread space. Let him have his shitty opinion and leave it at that. Let's just talk Mortal Kombat.

>>2332440
I always assumed it was some kind of laser blast from a hidden wrist launcher or something. It doesn't really matter, but I never felt it implied she had magic powers. She's a spec ops agent, magic wouldn't fit.

With Liu Kang and Sub Zero is does make sense because they're mystic ninja types. But Sonya, Jax and Kano are very clearly not mystic types.

I just don't get your argument. Sci-fi stuff was there from the first game, and has continued in each of the games. Sure there's more of it in 3, because Earthrealm invasion blah blah blah, but the point is that it's always been a mix.


If nothing else at all you can't deny that the first game has a guy with a half robot face and a cybernetic eye. Unless you're saying that was also a mystical ninja magic robot face...

>>2332461
I'm not sure that anon has a grasp on MK's characters and their origins, he put Sub Zero together with other humans in one post.

I dont know, I always thought it was pretty straight-forward myself yet I've noticed some long back-and-forth's in the last few mortal kombat generals here..

>>2332461
Read my posts. Never said I was against sci-fi in MK. I just thought a generic cop-guy with a gun and grenades when everyone's else was clearly using crazy magic-ish type weapons was just out of place and dumb in mk universe.

Probably biased since I think mk3 is when the series started turning to shit but thats just how I look at it.

>>2332474
Sub zero is human. Look it up. He's from a chineese ninja clan. And I'm the one that doesn't know what he is talking about.

>>2332475
> I just thought a generic cop-guy with a gun and grenades when everyone's else was clearly using crazy magic-ish type weapons was just out of place and dumb in mk universe.

You do get that he was just a cop, right? Not an otherworldly ninja with magic powers or even a spec ops agent... He was a normal police officer who's trying to defend earth from outworld invaders. Of course he's going to use guns and grenades, that's what his character would have access to. It would have been completely retarded if Stryker shot blasts of magic and summoned moon dragons to attack people.

I do actually agree that 3 is where the series started to falter, but that's because of the gameplay changes, not the characters.

He just said to name a good game, not the only good game. There are tons of great fighting games with block buttons, Mortal Kombat just happens to be one of them. Street Fighter isn't too bad either. Heck even in Ranma 1/2 Hard Battle you could press the back button to block when an attack was coming. I wouldn't call it great, but it's good fun.

>>2332743
>KoF

>>2332771
Yes. You press away from your opponent on the direction pad button. When an attack is coming it makes you block. I don't see what's hard to understand about that.

>>2332782
Is this bait?

>>2332810
It's no more bait than half the thread being two people repeating the same thing back to one another. If they're going to be that retarded I can make at least as good an argument that pressing back counts as a block button. It's a button, you press it to block. Done.

>>2332865
On a controller they're buttons. If you play King of Fighters or Street Fighter on SNES or Genesis they have block buttons. Technically even using a stick is still hitting buttons, you're just hitting them with the opposite side of a stick so I'll leave that.

Weaponlord is a fine fighting game only on Genesis and SNES, you press back to block which is pressing a button. It's a block button.

And yes this entire thing is retarded but it's at least better than you fags 404ing the thread with your shitposting.

>>2332259
Most of MK3 was cool with me, but I could never really get behind Nightwolf. He's the one that sticks out to me. Though he does have an awesome fatality.

MK went to hell when Boon & Co started putting shit characters in like the robots and shit that fans thought up.

Hey Boon, My 6 year old neighbour kid swears he saw he fought a character called ShitStain, put him in MK X as a dlc!!!

>mfw Boon obliges.

>>2334152
I like the robots and some of the weirder characters like Sheeva that they put in. If MK3 had been more similar to MK2 I think it would have been much better received. But the dial combo was not well done at all and that's really what started the downward spiral.

>>2334187
>Sheeva

Sheeva made sense after Goro & Kintaro, but suddenly our normal Earth has cyborg technology?

It just jumped from Karate setting to bad scifi setting, and it wasn't pretty.

Man I wish I could find a scan of that one gaming magazine that had a drawing of a 6 armed Goro boss on/in it.

Must have been right before Midway started releasing info about MK3, I never knew if it was made up by the magazine or an actual Boon idea.

>>2334251
As we've been discussing a lot in this thread, MK always had a mix of sci-fi and asian fantasy. I don't see anything weirder about cyborg ninjas in the third game than I did about the guy with half a cyborg head in the first game or the guy with cyborg arms in the second one. That's always been the MK mix to me. I think trying to take any of it seriously is a fool's errand.

>>2334276
Stop feeding the troll man.

I don't think he's trolling, just stating his opinion. Compared to the name a good game bullshit, anything looks decent.

I loved playing MK games when I was younger, though I think I stopped since I started noticing how the fighting game communities turned into mixmaxing no fun bullshit, that crap really soured me from fighting games.

>>2338760

Every game is "min maxing no fun bullshit" at the highest level of competition

>>2338798
Well, that's what I hated, I never liked games being turned into this competitional thing. I mean, look at the fighting game threads or MOBA game communities, can you really say these people are worth being around?

>>2338802

Then don't join tournaments?

MK brings in more casual players than any other fighting game, you should have no problem finding other people who only play it casually.

I don't understand this at all. I could get not liking this type of game in general, but to like it but then be soured on it because other fans of it enjoyed practicing and improving their skills? That seems absurd. You never wanted to get better at the game at all? Just fight at the most basic level forever? Against other people who aren't really trying?

They didn't turn into a competitive thing, they always were a competitive thing. The whole game is fighting against other people. Did you really just want no one who plays them to ever improve? That doesn't make sense.

Do you feel that way about all games where people compete? Is chess shit because people want to get better? What about football? Should professional sports just be a bunch of five year olds fumbling around with little to no clue what they're doing? I'm honestly at a loss here.

>>2339684
>Do you feel that way about all games where people compete?
Of course not, but not all games are worth competing to a significant degree in. People who compete in snakes and ladders to any significant degree are ridiculous, just like people who take fighting games too seriously.

>>2340778
What's your take on organized sports, then?

>>2340778
Obviously. No one would seriously compete in Snakes and Ladders because there's almost nothing skill based to that game. It really just comes down to random chance so real competition would be meaningless.

However fighting games are one of the genres with the highest skill ceilings in all of video games. The gap between shit and okay players is huge, the gap between okay and good players is bigger and the gap between good and excellent players is even more so. There are very few other types of video games that lend themselves to competition as well.

Also there's a distinct difference between taking them too seriously and wanting to improve because it's intrinsically fun to get better.

So once more, ignoring non-games like Snakes and Ladders, do you feel this adverse to all kinds of skill based competition? What are your thoughts on serious chess players for example? Are they wasting their time taking it too seriously as well?

What is it about people wanting to master a game that puts you off so much? It still doesn't make any sense to me.

Mortal kombat is objectively bad fighting game.
Its base mechanics are flawed and lacking, it has a block button/no left right mixups or crossups.
The game also has no trades, instead when two attacks should have traded the game randomly picks a player to win.
Also the game has no projectile clashing, all projectiles in the game sail past eachother unhindered.

You can scream till you are blue in the face claiming that Checkers is just as deep as Chess but it wont make it true.

On top of shallow and downright lazy gameplay mechanics mortal kombat is programed terribly with every single mortal kombat game to date being completely broken.

It is a terrible game and a terrible franchise, it is objectively bad and the only reason people play it is for the gore.

>Checkers is just as deep as Chess
I never said it was a deep fighting game, I said it was good and fun. Especially in the retro days which is what this board is for discussing. The MK's gave many many people countless hours of fun multiplayer fighting. That's what made them good.

Good for high level tournament play? No of course not. Good for wasting a weekend with your friends beating each other up and ripping their heads off? Hell yeah.

Just because Checkers isn't as deep and strategic as Chess doesn't mean it's a bad game, just a different one. Though I admire the dedication you have to trolling a game you don't like, it doesn't change the reason it was good and popular.

>>2342285
MK is not good by any stretch of the imagination. Saying you had fun does not make it a good game, it just shows how bad your taste is.

>>2342457
>MK is not good
yea it is

>>2342457
Except you're wrong. The purpose of a game is to be fun. Mortal Kombat was and is a hell of a lot of fun for a hell of a lot of people. If it succeeds in it's goal it's by default a good game.

Now calm down before you punch your screen in a fit of pretentious rage. That doesn't mean you personally have to like it. Not everyone likes the same things. You can like Chess, but not Checkers and that's fine. But if you try to say Checkers isn't a good game because it's not Chess, you're being an idiot.

Mortal Kombat is fun. Mortal Kombat is a good game. Mortal Kombat is not a good Street Fighter clone. But Mortal Kombat isn't trying to be a Street Fighter clone. Mortal Kombat is trying to be Mortal Kombat. And you don't have to like it, but that doesn't stop me and it's legion of fans from liking it. And it doesn't stop you being wrong when you attempt to claim it's not a good game.

But please, do continue to come and piss and moan about people liking something you don't. I look forward to seeing you in many, many /vr MK threads to come.

No, mortal kombat is objectively a bad game, this has already been proven.

Quality is objective
Fun is subjective

Mortal kombat is a bad game an objectively bad game and it utterly fails as a fighting game as previously stated the only people who play it are kids who play it for the gore and have no idea about fighting games.

If mortal kombat was food it would be mc donalds, just because a "legion" of gutter trash like it doesn't make it good food.

Mortal kombat is objectively bad.

You're still completely wrong. It's bad as a clone of Street Fighter which is what you want it to be. It's not bad as a video game. It's popularity, longevity and fans are proof of this.

Saying that all the fans of the game are wrong because you personally hate it means absolutely nothing. Your opinion is not universal, it matters to you and you alone.

>>2343517
Nope mortal kombat is objectively a bad video game, this is not opinion, this is fact.

>>2343642
Wrong. Saying that your opinion is objective fact does not make it so. Your opinions are yours.

>>2343647
Bad programing, glitches, bugs and missing game mechanics are all objective.

Mortal kombat is a bad game, this is objective fact.

fuck off /v/

thanks for ruining the thread

>>2343715
There are plenty of good games that have some bugs. Mortal Kombat is and was a ton of fun for a ton of people. Fun is the purpose of a game and it's very successful at that.

Your "objective facts" are not that, they're your opinion.

>>2343717
His trolling hasn't ruined anything, this has still been a great thread.

>>2313839
Almost always used Baraka when playing MK2. I thought he was super badass. Turns out he was a shitter and I never even knew.

>>2343930
I was like that too, used Mileena more than anyone else. But one of the nice things about MK being a more minimalist game than some other fighters is that everyone is fairly even. There's not as much gap between top and bottom tier characters.

I have always loved the series. Since the next game is coming out this week, I've been mentioning it to a lot of friends thinking they are as equally excited as I am. I have since discovered that a lot less of the gaming community enjoys the series. I am a little confused about that.

Considering how historical as well as fun it is, I would expect more people to appreciate the series more. What's up with that?

Mortal Kombat
Mortal Kombat 2
Mortal Kombat 3
Mortal Kombat 4
Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance
Mortal Kombat Deception
Mortal Kombat Armagedon
Mortal Kombat 9
Mortal Kombat X

Where's 8 ?

>>2344071
Either MK vs DC Universe or Mythologies, I'd assume. There are several other games in that mix that could be considered part of that since none are really numbered after 4 until 9.

>>2344071
>>2344083
Netherrealm Studios counts MKvDC as the eighth game. Not sure why though.

>>2344071
Since there is no game called Mortal Kombat 9, you might as well could ask Where's 9?

>>2343750
>Your "objective facts" are not that, they're your opinion.
Except they are not, they are cold hard objective facts.

Block button removes crossups and depth from the game, this is objective FACT

No trades diminishes footsies by making a part of them RNG and removing depth from the game, this is objective FACT

No Fireball clash removes fireball wars entirely and removes depth from the game, this is objective FACT

Every mortal kombat game to date has infinite's/100% damage combos, this is objective FACT

Every mortal kombat game to date has game breaking exploitable glitches (eg removing your own hurtbox so you cant take damage) this is objective FACT

"Fun" is subjective

By saying you think mortal kombat is "fun" you are stating your opinion, your opinion is not a fact.

Furthermore by saying you have "fun" with such a lowbrow objectify bad game you are admitting to having shit plebeian taste as well as admitting you don't know anything about fighting games and just play for the gore not the game itself.

Ironically its plebs such as yourself who cry the hardest when you get hit by one of the aforementioned infinite's or game exploits or anything you think is "cheap", shattering any notion of "fun" you might once had.

In closing, mortal kombat is an objectively bad game.

I'm not sure how that would ever even come up, unless Scorpion's Injustice ending references it or something

>>2344398
>>2344409
MKvsDCU is in the same timeline as Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks. It starts out with the sequel thread left at the end of that game. It was released after Armageddon and before MK9 but ignores both games. MK9 is a direct sequel to Armageddon.

So there are really 3 concurrent timelines, only one of which is being progressed.

>>2344414
>timelines
We'll politely overlook the fact that the games that are supposed to share continuity contradict and retcon each other all the time anyway...

>>2344420
That shit doesn't matter anymore since the current timeline consists only of 2011 and X now and overwrote else.

>>2344420
Hardly. The biggest retcons were Johnny Cage dying repeatedly and being brought back to life, as well as Shao Kahn returning from being killed in the old timeline, but even that had an in universe explanation. Unless you're talking about arcade endings but everyone knows those are just "what if" scenarios.

MK9 contradicts a lot of things but only in the sense that it changes arbitrary things from the old timeline. The writing sucks and fuck reboots, but it's consistent with itself.

>>2344304
Which I think was kinda stupid. It's like counting X-Men vs. Street Fighter as the third Street Fighter Alpha game.

I always regret the fact that they didn't call the reboot "Mortal Kombat ∞", since it was the eighth canon game and all. I always hate it when they just reuse the same title as the original.

>>2344389
Its a shame mortal kombat developers don't take any pride in their work.

Are there ANY good digitized fighters out there? With gameplay over gore and less to no toilet humor?

>>2344452
Stop shitposting or fuck off and make your own thread

>>2344452
For real though, are there any digitized fighters that don't feature gore and are actually playable?

>>2344610
I'm >>2344452

That was my first post in the thread, honestly I don't mind Mortal Kombat much but the violence and humor bugs me. Still though it's probably the only decent digitized fighter I've managed to encounter so fa, hence I wish I was proven wrong.

>>2344490
Thanks for this by the way, I will try the console version.

>>2344672
Not really, Primal Rage is probably the closest you are going to get.

>>2344685
I've been evading Primal Rage due to the pissing monkey.

>>2344680
There's Killer Instinct, I guess, if that counts. Most of them are a tier below even something like Time Killers or Pit Fighter. There weren't really all that many of them, either.

>>2344721
>Killer Instinct
Also thanks for this one.

KI is not really digitalized

Mortal Kombat doesn't feature much toilet humor. Fatalities are the series' goriest aspect but you can avoid them by not performing them (unless you do them by accident).

UMK3 or MKT?

>>2345125
Both are shit

>>2345125
UMK3

>>2344452
There have been a handful, but they're mostly worse than MK in the ways that you're talking about. As mentioned, SF: The Movie: The Game is probably your best bet. The other one to mention is Primal Rage if the thought of dinosaurs battling giant apes sounds fun. Though there are some fart attacks.
>>2345142
lol still trying too hard and trolling a thread of a game you don't like because you can't understand it's appeal.

There are many, many great fighting games in this world. Mortal Kombat is just one of them. And the fact that it does some things fundamentally differently is it's strength, not it's weakness. I love Street Fighter, but I'm very happy that there's Mortal Kombat as well. Of course I'm even happier that there's a KoF, but that's another thread.

>>2345125
MK Trilogy easily in my books.

>>2345309
>MK the movie was originally going to have Brandon Lee as Cage and Cameron Diaz as Sonya.

Holy shit that would have been weird.

>>2345309
Good christ, these text-to-voice videos are an audio nightmare.

>>2345452
I am so glad it got changed. I can't imagine Lee as Johnny Cage at all. Linden Ashby was perfect. The only other person I could see doing it as well would have been Kung Fu's Chris Potter, but that's because of pic related.

And Cameron Diaz was just way too skinny then.

>>2345631
>And Cameron Diaz was just way too skinny then.
but so was the chick they cast

>>2345757
Sort of. Bridgette Wilson was fairly skinny but she at least had some muscle on her and looked like she could fight. In 1995 Cameron Diaz still pretty much had the super skinny body of a runway model. A Charlie's Angels era Diaz could have pulled it off, but Wilson was so good that I'm glad we got what we did.

This fight was so fucking awesome.

>>2345794
she will always be Veronica Vaughn to me

>>2344452
Deadly Sport

>>2345631
How about... Jean Claude Van Damme

>>2347085
A role so nice, he passed on it twice.

>>2344452
Jackie Chan: Fists of Fire is what you're looking for.

>>2347085
If he could have done a convincing American accent then I think he could have been good. But he's never been able to, so I doubt it would have worked. He's a great martial artist, but has never exuded that charisma of a big star which is more important to getting him right and the part that Ashby nailed.

Sorry mortal kombat is a shit fighting game.

>>2320424
This guy fucking nailed it.

My street fighter buddy is so this, though I care too much to shatter the glass neighborhood of lies he's built around himself regarding SF being more fun.

>>2344239
"Wander the earth. Search for my soul. That kind of thing." Hahaha

Also, best piece of MK related music ever, from the soundtrack for the original game (not the movie, the GAME):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2cJrFDxzo8

Listen to ANYTHING from this CD and I swear to God you will feel real life motivation for your real life in a non-ironic way.

So the PS1 version of Mortal Kombat Trilogy apparantly really doesn't like the PS2.

Sometimes it locks up after the second round of the first matchup, and it ALWAYS errors out after beating Shao Kahn before the treasury.

Not sure if I should try to get the Saturn version or just get a new PS1, anything other than the N64 version.
