Mortal Kombat 1 (Reboot) 9.21.23, PS5/Xbox Series/Switch/PC

[The G.O.D II]

All of the best moves weren't blocked.

Combo routes weren't dull. It meant you actually had to know how to play the game well enough to where it wasn't the end all/be all of your arsenal. MK1 is far more combo heavy where you can pull of these long 40-60%+ combos and look like a professional, but still lose the match.

Ermac's moveset has several of his moves summoning creatures and even limbs as part of his moveset.

I can't recall, but they took his classic projectile, which he's had since UMK3.

You clearly didn’t play online. Frost, who I’ve mentioned before, didn’t have her little ice box that freezes until late in the games life cycle. Others had similar situations. Variations for ranked left out a lot of characters best moves. Majority of people complained about how dull and uncreative combos were. Most characters had the same strings that you always had to use to lead into damage. Game became un fun to watch and play. Kitana was so fun in 10 but plays like shyt in 11 because they removed shyt like sir fan resets. Ermac still has his telekinesis slam, levitation faints, etc. Just different animations. He’s basically a toned down version of MK X, which can be said for a lot of characters. They even gave the kit of his spectral variation from x to Homelander. He didn’t have a projectile in X either. I don’t count soul ball as one since that was used to reset in combos. I’m maimed Ermac in X and played him in 1.

They may since the movie is dropping soon. Which makes the decision to do this game even more baffling(I know they wanted a new MK out to boost enticement of buying the game studio)

I doubt Injustice 3 is next, MK is going 3 for 3.

Confusing? What was confusing for you?

Nikka I love MKX most fun MK I've ever played Complete high speed, no mercy fukkery

MKX was also great for combo creators. If you like making your own combos MKX gave you the tools. Then MK11 stripped all that shyt away your creative brain would see juggles and routes that should work, but the game would be like "Naw nikka"

What's ironic is for all the hate and disrespect MK gets, this current gen of fighting games all play like MKX games like Street Fighter 6 and Tekken 8 are all non stop hyper speed aggressive offense. And a lot of nikkas hate this shift but I do think it's worth noting

Yep. Tekken 8 is all offense, heart, 50/50 guess for life. SF6 whole meta is built on aggression and getting in. All from MKX. The last two MKs have been this slow slog with limited combos and creativity. MK1 tries to remedy that but they did it with the Kameos instead of actual fighters.

MK1 doesn't lack creativity nor combos combinations are you nikkaz playing? Sareena with everybody. The pace of this game is much faster than MK11 or Injustice

There's no matchup in this game anywhere close to what pre patch Deadshot was doing to 95% of the cast in INJ2 or Batman vs Scarecrow nor a Starfire or Dr. Fate style character. MK1 has been dominated since launch by a character with the best movement best buttons since day 1 Johnny Cage even though he's been nerfed 3 times already. Is he still top 3 probably not Havik is busted rn so are some other teams Scorpion/ Ferra Nitara /Ferra what do these teams have in common MKX braindead gameplay

That’s my whole point. This game relies too heavily on Kameos. Someone like Ferra makes mid to low tier characters great. Same with chameleon. It should not be that way. And the community has responded. You can call it brain dead gameplay all you want but there’s a reason x is still revered by the community

X isn't revered those nikkaz quit playing after a year don't let NinjaKilla appearance fool you. The only reason those nikkaz kept playing was WB/ NRS esports for 2 years majority of those pros didn't like it. If it was so revered why did they stop playing? Everybody moved on to Injustice 2

 

[HNIC973]

Nitara is fukked up even without Ferra btw 1 touch you are losing 50+

Nikkas refusal to acknowledge MKX is hilarious.

Nikkas did move onto Injustice 2, and they barely gave it a year before nikkas was back on MKX heavy. I remember these days vividly. Nikkas was not fukkin with Injustice 2

Again if it so revered why did nikkaz stop playing? MKX scene was dead until Destroyer started running online tournaments & Ninja popped up. I remember to because me & @PhillyBirds215 Was still playing X

you just answered your own question, and repeated what I just said

Nikkas didn't even give Injustice 2 a strong year

When a game is revered like you claim they wouldn't had stopped playing in the first place. The NRS community does the same shyt every game. Mk11 sucks I'm going back to Inj2 rinse repeat. They've been doing this post MK9. Stop acting like MKX was all sunshin.e NRS had to redo the entire netcode because online experience was so horrible in year 1 basically relaunched the game

I know how the NRS cycle goes.

Even knowing that I've only seen NRS return to two games in a noticeable manner. Nikkas dusted off Injustice 1 for a bit, and nikkas very noticably dusted off MKX after rejecting Injustice 2. The fact that this happened in spite of the typical NRS cycle speaks volumes

And nikkas didn't go back to Injustice 2 i was actually amazed at how little nikkas fukked with that game

And I didn't say MKX was all sunshine but I'm not just making this reverence up out of nowhere. I'm far from the only nikkas that think MKX is the GOAT MK

I’m not talking strictly pros. They will go and play whatever NRS dictates. I’m talking the community at large. Go to any Reddit forum and ask what their fav MK is and what they put most hours into. Go look at any major NRS streamer like Super and you will find random uploads of X. Nobody is doing that with 11 or IJ2

The MK community love 9 and 10.
