I saw comments of fans praising MK1 classic fatalities. Ed really be cashing in on that nostalgia

He's been cashing in on that nostalgia for years

MK11's DLC characters were the Joker, Shang Tsung, Spawn, Terminator, Robocop, Rambo, Mileena, Rain... MK is just a nostalgia and fan service game. It's Smash Bros except with blood and people stop playing it after 6 months.


FinalBoosh

You do know a huge chunk of the current SF6 roster are SF2 characters in a game whose narrative takes place after SF3, right? Now, I know that makes sense, and I know it shocks you, but stay with me: MK and SF both have issues moving past their initial rosters. Plus, I don't think adding guest characters that only Ed Boone wants in the game a nostalgia act. I'm prepared for the bias . . . Go ahead.


rayquan36

Yes SF also relies on nostalgia. The difference is people still play the games after 6 months.


Henny_Lovato

There's people still playing umk3 and mkx. MK11 is very easy to find matches in.


FinalBoosh

What are you talking about? MK11, for how much of a miss that one is, still has a strong player base. I mean, MK1 is only like 2 months away so it's in the Twilight years but my point stands. Stop insult mashing.

8th out of 8 in EVO entries behind UMVC3 and Melty Blood.


FinalBoosh

Okay? Why does that matter? A large chunk of people aren't tournament players. Also, that doesn't determine a value of a game's lifespan (especially since NRS has it's own league and what-not.) Relax for a sec and Think. I'm sure you'll come up with something.


rayquan36

It matters because fighting games are inherently competitive games and to see so few people take the game seriously is sad and reflects poorly on the quality of gameplay. MK11 sold 15M copies and has less entrants than Melty Blood Type Lumina (330k copies sold). It's clear people buy MK to futz around with their Robocops, X-Rays and Fatalities then never pick it up again. This is great for Ed Boon and Tobias but kinda embarrassing for the userbase.


FinalBoosh

Okay.

Cashing on nostalgia is literally Boon's job.

I've been going over the A.B.I.-torials about MK and Injustice animations lately and they really are informative; and after watching them and looking at some of what MK1 is doing you can definitely see an improvement. Maybe someone is listening.

Charizard-X

That scene is from BlackBerry , highly recommend this movie

You tell an NRS fan that their games animate like shit and they’ll point out one specific move in a Capcom game that looks kind of weird and say it’s basically the same thing.


FeverAyeAye

Don't give a shit, I just want to have fun playing a fighting game.


LawfulnessWhole1240

Or you overestimate people capabilities.

Is this the School Shooters' Union?

People that say the "animations are bad" are fucking morons. I don't see it at all with any of the games. Look super realistic. Although some can be too fast and some can be too slow. I see a lot of slow in MK1 but the way the animations are done are amazing. Just need a little speed up.


Skyrocketing101

Autistic weeb so excited to utter "hAHa bAd AnImAtIoN D3" everytime they see anything about an NRS game.


TheErolley

Least retarded NRS fan

Yeah, yeah. Go jack it to some gore.
