Darkstalkers and King of Fighters master race.

Never played either. Do you get to punch wieners? That's what I look for in a fighting game.

You get to punch little girls.

MK 1 - 2 > street fighter *

MK3 was the beginning of MK's decay.

"Hey guys, MK3 wasn't really a finish game. So, here's our buggy upgrade with the old favorites we meant to put in. What? Oh, you're not satisfied. Here's another buggy game with ALMOST EVERY CHARACTER IN OUR PAST GAMES."

At least the sf2 and sf3 upgrades were good

>>752774
you forgot to mention the run button.

>>752774
I actually liked Ultimate MK3.

The original MK3 was a little lackluster though.

>>752802
Which was also the stamina bar. Good thing they addressed that in MKT.

"No problem, kombatants. Our new...game also has an AGGRESSOR bar that, uh...fuck. Hey guys, what does it do again?"

>>752806
MK3 first mistake was leaving out Scorpion. Every arcade I visited that had vanilla MK3 was left alone in favor of MK2 and those that did play it had always picked Smoke (Cyber Smoke for the lols) or Kabal.

>>752815
MK 4 limiting your uppercut spam, good thing or bad thing?

>>752823
First time I saw a MK3 machine (at the disneyland hotel of all places) some dude was kicking ass at the game with Cyrax and drawing a crowd.

>>752830
Typical thing. That was in every MK. Most of the time, there was a cheat to turn it off. Even then, the game limited you to only two juggles.

>>752839
yeah, Sektor is boring. Cyrax is a real crowed pleaser!!

I love MK 1 and 2. I like how MK9 brings back the mood and atmosphere of those games but the fighting system is stiff and awkward. On the opposite side SF's story and tone is lighter and forgettable but the gameplay is solid even though it's now option select fighter 4 unblockable edition. I just play offline with friends.

>>752874
>sektor

Yeah, it was like they ran out of ideas.

>>752979
Goro was nice though

I was reading character profiles on UMK3 DS and I realized something. The storyline for MK is batshit retarded, but it's so fucking stupid that it actually becomes entertaining. Everything is just so silly and over the top that I can't help but feel charmed by the whole thing.

When will they post a Mortal Kombat 0 with the MK2 arcade engine and do things right?

Here's the real Kung Lao, the ancestor one.

>>753186

In Mortal Kombat 0 Jax will be intact and the Special Forces arm guy will have shades and a buzz cut.

Of Liu Kang's order in Mortal Kombat 0 are the twin warriors, Sing and Sang. Together they are...

>>753147
Goro gets his ass kicked by Zaggot though 1/2

>>753213

Mortal Kombat 0 enjoys the presence of more element-based Lin Kieu warriors, such as Hydro.

what about KI

>>753285
this

>>753285
Was a solid game. I liked that it brought the best of Street fighter (combos, six button silliness) and Mortal Kombat (nice real looking characters and backgrounds). With an over the top story line and unique characters. To bad Rare don't do games like this no more. KI 2 was one of the best games I played.

>>753178
well, IMO all fighting game story lines are pretty stupid,

>>753285
This was my first Super Nintendo game

>mfw picking Fulgore
>mfw fighting friend on some night map with spotlights in the background

Coming straight off of an NES, it was fucking amazing.

>>753330
That music!!

>>753285
good stuff
>>753310
shame that KI 2 was only home ported to N64

>>753178
>"no, no, no. See, we can bring back that character because souls can come back...from hell. No, wait...The Underworld. Where a big scary person rules."

>"ZOMG BRILLIANT"

>>753285
It was good, but the difference between the arcade version and the snes version is like night and day. You can SEE the flames Cinder is covered in!

>>753337
...as Killer Instinct Gold. N64 was not built for 6 button dial a combo. Good thing I had a friend with a controller adapter for his arcade sticks.

Mortal Kombat always felt way too stiff to me.

Well, I prefer KoF over both...But I've always liked Street Fighter more than Mortal Kombat. I've never liked the game mechanics of MK...It also seems stiff.

I've always felt MK, and WFightan games in general are slower paced, and less combo based. Moves don't "flow", they feel disconnected and weird.

>>753393
Cause it is. That's why they added a run button on the third installment. At least other fighting games gave you the option to run or dash by pressing forward twice.

>>753415
IMO run button sucks, also not a fan of block buttons
