Ultimate was when it kind of started to feel like a copypaste, unfinished mess.
That scorpion stage looks cool as hell though not gonna lie.
The most soulful is either 1 or 2.
IMO, 2 on Genesis has the most amount of unadulterated soul.

Recently tried this and I do not understand the flow of gameplay at all. I play a lot KoF and SF but this is a completely different beast it seems. Just discovered there is a run button but that doesn't totally solve my issues.

It was the last time Midway used new characters and ideas and made it fresh, continuing the MK saga. Bringing the fight to Earth was cool, the cyborg ninjas were cool, not relying on Scorpion was cool, the old character refreshes were cool. It was like a great logical progression and real growth from the team, art wise.

I like MK4 for different reasons, but this being the last digitized one was special. The combos and move system was seamless. MK II is the “best” one, but MK 3 has so much soul and grit you can’t help but to love it.

I don't think any western-developed fighter of retro era had good gameplay, except for Killer Instinct, who actually took notes from Street Fighter.

Bullshit. Classic MK boils down to spamming whatever the most aggressive special move you have is or baiting for an uppercut.
Like MK's cool but don't pretend they have mechanical depth.

The overall product wasn't really well received for many different reasons, but it usually comes right down to dial-a-combo, the characters, and the setting.

>> No.7019782

Mk3 has NO soul, it was created by devs who thought they could do no wrong.
Even Tobias admits that MKII is his favorite, because it was actually an improvement over mk1 and not just shit flung to a wall to see what stuck. which is what they did with mk3 and every mk evrr since.
someone actualyy said "hey lets have a fat farting drunk fat guy in mk, lol. he could vomit on people as his fatality lol"
and they went with it.

after mk2 they lost touch with what made mk special.

>the characters
Bringing Sonya and kano back was awesome. Cyborg ninjas were alright but imo didn't "feel" like mk. Stryker was gay as was night wolf. Probably for each other. Shiva was a nice add. Motoro was a step down over gore and shintaro.
>and the setting
This was the biggest let down. Most of the stages were boring. Also upper cutting into different stages is fun but I wish it wasn't on the first upper cut. Should of been random. But anyways going from a mystical island tournament to strange weird outworld to fighting around a city was a bad move.

I non-ironically think 9 is the most soulful of the series. Everything about that game comes off as a love letter to long time fans.
Of the retro ones, it's 2, though an argument could be made for 1. It's sure as fuck not 3.

>> No.7022591

>>7021617

Yeah MK9 was awesome, and mostly because it was based on MK1 and MK2, look at how quickly NRS fucked up with MKX and MK11 again. they just cant make good stuff unless its based on the first 2. (case in point, the amazing Shaolin Monks)

>> No.7022601

peak fun

I don't like how heavy the gameplay in recent MKs feel. i mean, ok, I only played MK9, but the way I see it because I don't live in a fucking bubble, I see the characters being so realistic and shit... trying to be cartoonish, with all these unnatural jumps and moves
not to mention the overuse of x-rays and special moves shit like that

MK3 was pure cartoonish, and that's why it was pure fun. it was pure button to do combos, couch, jump and run around. fuck shittos who complained about the run button

i mean air combos??? the fuck is that shit?? you telling me the characters can fly??

I know the PS2 games did that too, but it wasn't trying hard to be **classic** and 2D
