Thorgi Duke of Frisbee Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 Thinking of getting this sometime, particularly for the mass of single player content. Capcom take note. Yeah. Whether you like Mortal Kombat or not, there's no denying that the newest game has the greatest single-player offering a fighting game has ever kollected. The Challenge Tower has 300 levels, and it's a really fun, wacky way to perfect your skills. Scorpion and Mileena get into a fight because Scorpion refuses to accept her teddy bear. Also, if you were looking for a new Mortal Kombat movie, the campaign is your answer. It's just as cheesy and awesome as the first movie, and the story actually engages you from beginning to end (even though Shao Khan sucks). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted April 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 How are enhanced special moves worthless? Everyone seemed fine with them in Street Fighter. I'm not saying the CONCEPT is worthless. It works in plenty of other fighters. But in MK, they are not enhanced enough to make it worth the cost. I would disagree with you on that point, but to each his own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorgi Duke of Frisbee Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 Damn rage-quitters. It still counts as a win for my TrueSkill ranking, but it only counts as a Disconnect for them, so their win/lose ratio is untouched. Is it really that humiliating to lose to Scorpion? I can't help if I fight best with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuullshit. Did you even spend an hour playing the game with people who know what they're doing? But this is the best they've ever done, and if they pushed a little more, it could be a tournament worthy game. Already a bunch of tournaments for it and it's been confirmed for EVO. Then again, Marvel VS Capcom 2 was on EVO and that's as balanced as an angry drunk Scotsman on a trampoline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, If I remember correctly, there's a team of characters that make you unstoppable if you choose them in MvC 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister Jack Posted May 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 You would think maybe someone besides Justin might win because the systems between MK and Street Fighter are so different. Oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SixTwoSixFour Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuullshit. Did you even spend an hour playing the game with people who know what they're doing? Since you seem to be having trouble with this concept... watch the video that YOU linked, and count the number of Enhanced Moves Liu Kang does. Or Johnny Cage. Very, very few? Yeah. What were you saying, again? =P In Street Fighter, people use EX all the goddamn time. In MK, with some characters it's worth it, with some characters it's just not. And an option that is never useful is not an option, it's just clutter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And an option that is never useful is not an option, it's just clutter. Been watching a lot of matches, and playing as well, and a well-placed Enhanced move can make all the difference. Of course, you have to make a call whether you're better off using a breaker or an Ex move. Just because you don't see them flying as much as in Street Fighter hardly means it's clutter. I agree that some Ex moves are more useful than others, but most of them have a good use. There's a reason every combo or strategy video says "And then use teleport because it builds meter". Also, wanna base an uninformed biased opinion on an entire game by watching one video clip? Street Fighter 2 sure did define the genre! Such an amazing fireball game! (the clip is a Japanese tournament match, btw) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyber Rat Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 I absolutely love the design on Rain. Doesn't stand out too much, but at the same time, not generic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indyit Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 I've been enjoying this game quite a bit even if i get my ass handed to me online. I have found the final battle with Shao Kahn absolutely impossible however. I hate that mofo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted July 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 If you're using a character who teleports, Shao Kahn is actually pretty easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indyit Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 thats what ive been told and i can nearly do it (in the campaign mode specifically) my fingers just havent got the ability to be precise enough to always do it right, i miss a few times and it all goes to hell.

Mister Jack Posted August 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 You know, I ended up buying all the DLC characters for this game, even the one I wasn't THAT interested in, because I just really like the way NetherRealm is handing this game. The content, the updates, the reasonably priced add-ons...they earned my money for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
