you know it :blessed:

still waiting on that Mileena reveal, then I can get extra hype

thats not what they are aiming for nor should they. MK9, and Injustice kept the movelist small but each character was different enough and had tools others didnt which encouraged you to learn multiple characters for matchup knowledge or as a counter pick. What I like about this is it allows you to play as the character you want but still have the option of switching up for the reasons I mentioned or just for fun.

At the end of the day, heads always talk about wanting fighting games to innovate but then turn around and say 'why not just make 1 character with a ton of moves and be like every other fighting game'
nikka, there is no difference between having 1 character with 3 styles and having 1 character with 1 of 3 styles you have to pick before the match starts. It doesnt help the gameplay at all. It hurts the gameplay alot, because at the end of the day, this game will be dominated by the elites, not the fukkboy casuals who will stop playing within 90 days of getting the shyt kicked out of them. They did it right with the 3 styles but you should be able to switch them out during the fight. Whats stopping the character from doing so. I mean, at the least if you lose a round and want to change tactics, that option should be available. I feel, for elite gamers it hinders gameplay.

I just want Cyrax back more than anyone. He was the most fun in MK9. I messed with Mileena, Reptile and Ermac too, but that Cyrax bomb game was just too fun.

game aint anywhere near released yet to speculate that, first of all. NRS games aint on some footsies slow paced shyt like SF. their games are action packed and switching styles mid match doesnt fit the bill. Batgirl had a similar mechanic and nobody used it. Nightwing wasnt exactly popular either, I just dont think that would fit into their style of game. theres already a ton of shyt going on

most importantly, if you've been paying attention - a few of the characters have 'power up' variations that would be useless unless you used it start to finish. They designed the game so that each variation almost feels like a new character. Giving a person 3 characters in one is too much of a mindfukk, I like being able to read my opponent and know what they are capable of throughout the match and I should be rewarded for that

This is the first MK where the characters actually have deeper gameplay mechanics and they kind of hindered the possibilities a bit by having 3 selectible fighting styles instead of one character that can switch between styles at will. Better combo potential and highlights.
Its called strategy.

Game looks fantastic but we should be moving past these invisible borders. You can keep the juggle without the being stuck up against literally nothing.

People who were fans of the corner juggle mechanics would be dissatisfied with a wall mechanic though. Too much of MK9 gameplay revolved around the being stuck in the corner.

Kind of dope how they're running with Kano and making him older, fresh to see some basic story evolution.

25 years after the last one. He definitely needed to get rid of all his rusty metal and apply more power. nikka gotta be damn near 65. lol!
I don't see him making it past this story if he still dabbling with the bad guys.
Still, his moveset looks dope.
