We aint getting anything anytime soon smh

Not really. They wrote themselves into a corner so they hit the reset button

Anyway, I'm not getting hyped until I learn that variations are gone

They really did. The ending of Aftermath definitely came off as them saying fukk it, and resetting the timeline again as if that wouldn't technically be the third reset overall, and the second attempt to do so in the same fukking game.

Reset at the beginning of 9, it was implied that Liu Kang was going to at the end of 11, just for partial reset/Avengers Endgame fanfiction in Aftermath, then the full reset at the end of Aftermath.

It's just crazy that they basically sped through a full timeline in the span of three games, and had to reset again so quickly.

I'll wait for gameplay and characters but I'm not really feeling this so far

They surviving off nostalgia and tweaking the same sht every so years for their core fans and the new ones they create.

shyt is atrocious. They scared to try new stuff and lose the old b*stards. That’s why they keep rebooting. They refuse to move toward with the new generation.

You just described pretty much every fukking fighting game breh. Try shipping a "new" SF without ryu ken etc, try shipping tekken with out a grip of kazamas see what happens lol. Pretty much all of these franchises have tried it at some point too and you can look up how well that turned out. Ppl love to sing praises of 3S but mfers hated it on release and for years after. Hell look at all the grief they gave Ed onlineover Mileena he basically had to put her in via DLC to make up for it and she isn't a first string MK character.

For real. Third Strike came out in 1999, and they've spent the last 24 years making prequels to it so they can keep using the SF2 roster.

So is it this or is it "MK is casual friendly" because it cant be both.
