I was in Gamestop the other day (One of THREE on the island) and saw a demo box for this. When I saw Create-a-character, I said OMFG, WHEN DOES THIS COME OUT!!!!!?!

Yeah, I'll be getting it, too...the question is, how many characters can you make, how exact is the Creating system (can you do WWE style stuff, if so, we'll ALL have KOMBATANTS!), and how F"IN sweet is it going to be!

If I can't make US, I need to decide whether to make Schizm, Ravage, Geetro, Caramel, or one of my other usual character types, and I'm not sure, Oh! The humanity!

by the way, did ya notice there will only be 2 fighting styles per person? They say the game is more balanced this way (plus I'm sure it saves room as the characters are tripled. So everyone will have a hand to hand fighting stance & then a weapon fighting stance, even the big guys like Kintaro, Goro & Motaro. Also, air combat (like in MK3) returns so combos will be heavily favored (look out! its like Teken!)

Fighting games of today really don't appeal to me as they are all just glorified combo fighters. I love and always will love the traditional 2D side scrolling fighter games like Street Fighters, Darkstalkers, King of Fighters, and so on and so on. So in never playing against Adam with any MK game from Deadly Alliance on, is probably because I just really didn't get into them that much to play with anybody else. Now after the one lan party, I think it was the new years one, where the guys from the DDT err STD or whatever initials apartment had rented Shoalin Monk, I got interested in that game. That kind of made me think differently about the genre.

Yes I still play Street Fighter 2 Turbo on occasion along with MK2, my all time favorite MK game. I don’t know I am just partial to the old school fighters which are basically dead now.

I can understand, Lee, not liking combo-heavy systems, but the most combo-heavy MK was MK3, UMK3, MK2 and MKT (Not to mention KI and some other less popular ones). MKDA and Deception are really fairly light on the combos, and have reduced them to mere short button codes per move.

I remember MK3 was the one that really lost my interest in the MK series. I agree that MK2 was sweet, but if you didn't memorize all the combos you were still screwed. MK3 was absolutely insane with how combo-heavy it was. I still have my UMK3 guide that lists all the combos for everyone, and it's just nutzzzzz!

Oh, and Street Fighter II Turbo = Da Shizzy, but not as much da shizzy as Tekken 4 or the last two MK's. Also, I own Shaolin Monks, and you can borrow it if you need to sometime. It's a great game, and I've already unlocked Sub-Zero (Scorp is still in there), so it's worth a try!

I think the key to any good fighting game is a perfect blend of different ranged attacks, unblockables, and projectiles. Tekken is as close to perfect as it gets, I think, but the new MK's and the X-Men fighting games come close.

It helps immensely when you can (if you're quick enough) see what your opponent is starting to do and counter. Doug was definitely the best person I've ever seen at this, and after playing Tekken 4 with him, it got me more interested in MK:DA, a game which I find much more interesting. The older MK's really didn't have this element of seeing what your opponent was doing (except certain specials) so it was kind of "who can pop one off first".

I was pretty sure MK2 had combos, although nothing like MK3...I'll need to recheck that. I used to play MK2 alot.

MK2 had no combos, this i am sure of.

Grand Master Sef · Posted: Mon Jul 31, 2006 9:38 am Post subject:

yeah, no comobs in MK2. The most you could do that resembled a combo was upper cut them into the air & then hit them with a fire ball or something. Nothing like MK3 which had a full blown combo system, where you could only do moves if they were done through a combo. The new gen of MK games biggest combos are 10 hits which is fine. I don't have any problems with that at all. I usually counter that arguement with, learn to play. lol.
