i think officaily this is the only forum im registerd i gave up going on forums. but i just had to come on here and post me opinion MK is one of my fav's and ur just going into un nessary personal details maybe u have been here longer then me who cares get a life. im done tlkin to u this is about MK not about what u think u kno.


Yeah, I've noticed a few ppl on here take a post personal. I've posted general statements and somehow it turned into a free psycho-analysis, complete with how I am basing my life on Midway's business decisions. Some think that if you post a message (with no name on it) it is SOMEHOW meant just for them personally. happy It's amazing how far these same ppl will read into your words and see things that just aren't there... (e.g., you are somehow hating on them personally). But it doesn't bother me and I hope it does not bother you... Their rants are about as worthy of attention, as those gnats buzzing around in your backyard. I just ignore THOSE types and I don't reply to them at all. It pisses them off even more though. It's sad how they follow me from topic to topic, quoting my posts, seeking acknowledgement. happy It will never happen though.

Just saying...

I've seen that too, from a few people here. Most are reasonable though regardless of what side of the MK/DC debate they're on.

I'd rather give birth to a chair than see an MK vs. DC crossover game.

IF they are including KAF, which I doubt, here's what they should do:

KAF failed for several reasons, but it was ridiculously overpowered. Making it more flexible in terms of fighting styles isn't the right thing to do. It would only be more overpowered.

I'd rather have preset fighting styles(like in SC), but more unique instead of just having the moves from many different fighters jumbled together. This should make them more balanced too, compared to the other characters. Same with special moves, the ability to choose your own moves is too overpowered.

More design options, to create characters that don't make it into the game. They're obviously not going to include all the popular characters, having the ability to create them would make up for some omissions on both sides.

On to the other issue, roster:

It seems odd that they go down to 20-22 from 60+, but MKD was much better than MKA and had only 30ish. The characters had more moves, more flair and the story was decent. Bringing up the roster has never helped a fighting game, the best games are usually the games that make innovations to the series(Soul Calibur, Tekken 3, Street Fighter 2), not the game with the biggest roster.

Having a smaller, concentrated roster means they'll have more time to make good game mechanics and the individual characters will have more moves. In short, it would be less superficially impressive, but at it's core it's a better game(hopefully).


The problem with it being overpowered was the fact that most guys had all axe kick combos. It was sickening to play 100 random guys, all with the same axe kick combos. Over and Over and Over... No variety... No thought... Just mindless repetition. They also had the same specials (Reiko Teleport or Dairuo Teleport, Tombstone stomp (Dairuo's) and Tornado Sword (Dairou again). 80 % of the ppl online aren't interested in fun... just repetition. It's mentally draining playing these types. You beat one guy, then theres another just like him... and another.... and another... etc. I hope Midway adds a penalty for repetitive players... like their combos do much less damage each time because the opponent adapts. Or the combo comes out slower because the cheap player's character gets tired and makes mistakes (or something like that). I hope they do something about that... MKvsDC will definitely need Anti-cheap and Anti-cheese features.

Some people I played against only used their KAKs in MKA matches. It got old real quick.

This game WILL sell, in fact if Midway puts Power Girl in the game (or at least the parts to create a good-looking version of her) I will buy at least 2 copies.

All the BS you spout, you like all the things that hold MK back. The reason it has remained a joke amoung fighting games and nearly every other fighting game has surpassed it.

To those who say that the universes don't match well. Gimme a fucking break!

It's a Video game and a comic book universe, they go together like peanut butter and jelly, peaches and creme, KY and your mom anu-you get the picture.


Read a DC comic and you will see that this is easily possible in the realm of Infinite Earths that DC has spawned.

Not to mention that MK is all about dimension hopping!

silly wannabe fanboys

Besides, with so many other fighting games being released this year, this is the MK franchise's one hope to not finally being dealt a long overdue fatality!
