A very odd mash up. We'll see how it turns out.

It looks promising. I've always liked the MK games, and the thought of beating the crap out of Superman with Sub-Zero appeals.

Saw it a couple days ago. Looks terrible.

After watching that trailer, one question arises - why in the bloody hell is Sub-Zero wearing Jessica Rabbit's gloves?

That'd be funny if Jessica Rabbit wore blue gloves, but since she doesn't you fail.

Ouchies! Thou hast slain me, villain!

Damn. It looks like this is Midway's project. What a shame. Oh well. I still can't wait to kick some ass with Batman.

I can't help but think why it has to be Mortal Kombat, of all franchises, that gets to go up against the DC universe. I would much rather have seen a better series (i.e. Marvel Super Heroes, KOF, SF Alpha, Real Bout FF, Tekken, Soul Calibur, Virtua Fighter, DOA).

Not bad of a game looks interesting I must say

He has a point though, what is it with those gloves? =\

lmao @ gloves. idk which part introduced it DA?, but i think those are supposed to be frozen arms.

still funny though. lol

qft. A lot of MK players were probably expecting to see the fatalities return again in this game. But it doesn't look like we'll be seeing Sub-Zero freeze the Joker and smash him to bloody pieces, or see Sonya turn Wonder Woman into a baby and dropkick her into a pit of lava.

I think it should be a decent fighter, I'll give it a play.

Who among the mortal kombat characters have the best attack power?

Looks interesting. I'll rent it and see what it's like. As for fatalities? I could care less. MK is still a great fighting game (at least the old ones) even without any finishing moves. But I hope they kind of redo the controls because I'm not particularly fond of them. Kinda complicated to me :P.

If you find MK "complicated" what fighting game would satisfy your easy taste?

Maybe I should've said the newer ones?

Yeah, be particularly specific in every of your comments, IDX Rider, because Swami is eager to nitpik every comments made on the shrine.

Bordering on trolling.

WOW HYNAD...

It's mainly because there are much more complicated fighters like... Virtua Fighter and Tekken, so I wanted his opinion on what he found not complicated. I figured he'd give me something like Smash Bros. or DBZ: Budokai.

You jackass.

Well, you did mention something about "his easy taste".


Mortal Kombat became more and more complicated over time, and I understood what he meant even if he didn't specify a game. There are games like Soul Calibur and DOA, that while not as simple as DBZ or Smash games, are intuitive enough for anybody to just pick up and play without having to learn every character's moves. Most of the control schemes are the same for every fighter so it's only a matter of adjusting your play style for each characters rather than learn a series of complicated move sequences.

In essence, those kind of games are simple enough for everybody to play, while having their fair share of complexity for the more dedicated players who wish to max out their experience of the games.

I honestly don't see anything too complex about MK now. I also have to disagree about SC and DOA being able to be played by first timers. Granted, yeah you can hit and maybe pull off a move or two, but unless you know that moveset you're pretty much doing one move over and over.

What I mean by that is in Smash Bros. for instance, a newbie has a chance to beat a skilled player based on the simplistic button and command layout. Now take a newbie and pit them against a skilled player in DOA or SC and that chance is drastically reduced.

As a side note, I don't know why but I prefer SC to DOA. >_>

Moves in Sould calibur are mostly a direction plus a button or 2. Nothing complicated there. The same applies to DOA.

There are the occasional rotations thown in, but the overall control method is simple enough for anyone, in comparison to games like Virtua Fighter, Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter.

I don't think Tekken is at all complicated. I came here actually expecting you to ask me, Swami, what fighters I would call simple. Tekken is really simple to me. I choose a character I've never played with before and I'm just beating the crap out of everyone. DBZ is extremely simple. But with the new MK games, I can't do shit unless I look up the move set list which I think is just a waste of time because I want to play the damn game as soon as I pop it in; not go online so I can have the slightest clue of how to do anything.

And I wanted to say pretty much what Hynad said already, but I decided not to because even if I did, nothing would've changed anyways.

Basic moves, yeah, but some of the more advanced moves are a bitch to pull off. Especially if you have a character who changes stances to chain.

I've still always felt MK to be near the bottom of the technical chain in fighters. Doesn't mean it's not fun, it's just not as technical as others.

Isn't Street Fighter the same usually for every character?

IDX: Really? I always have more trouble with Tekken than with MK. Then again the last Tekken I played was Tekken 3, so yeah...

Guys how do I troll?

According to the people I was playing against at this arcade when I was I think 10 or 11 years old, I was a Tekken prodigy. I was taking on everyone to the point where a huge circle was around us. So people in their 20's and of all shape and sizes (including their mouths to the point where my dad said that's my son so watch your mouth) were challenging me and one by one, they all went down. I was just thinking, "Hm, this games not that hard." I didn't really start getting into Tekken until Tag, which is the one I was extremely good at apparently because everytime, I was just picking different people.

I love playing UMK3 because it's my favorite of all the ones so far. Pretty simple if you ask me and very fun. Then I played DA and I was like WTF!? BACK BACK A DOESN'T WORK ANYMORE?? The only thing about that game (or was it Deception?) that I liked was "Cooking (or Baking) with Scorpion". I laugh so hard every time I see it. Scorpion winking is the funniest thing lol!

:swoon: IDX you are my hero! :swoon:

Heh, well, I don't like to brag... *blushes*

But seriously, I never really thought of Tekken being complicated. It was just the newer MK titles that were to me. Any other fighting game I've played isn't nearly as hard. I think MK4 was the easiest because you could just do the same combo for each character.

Maybe its because you have been playing Tekken for so long? I've been playing it since the second one, and now I always have dificulties adopting to other fighting games.

No. Ever since I started, I was good. That little story I posted was my second time playing. I know because my first time playing it was at a skating ring for a friends birthday party.

always found mk pretty boring.

well regardless of controls, i'll beat anyone in any game any time!

:p

also. i heard Image and KI are making a game now too. lol

spawn vs fulgore zomg!

I'd go gay for Spawn :-*.

the game is actually good! could have been better though.
