I've got a soft spot for MK since I grew up with it. I personally feel like they peaked with MK9 in every possible way, and then it went downhill with X. Then slightly back up with 11, and so far 1 is looking like another bump up to me personally. I'm hoping it delivers across the board, cause it'd be awesome to get a great Street Fighter, Tekken (assuming its 2023), and Mortal Kombat all in the same year.
A lot of people are saying it looks so much like 11, etc. Visually, sure, I can see that, but the backgrounds DO look busier and nicer. So I think that says quite a bit. But gameplay-wise, it looks faster, more combo focused, and almost less stiff like MK9. I know Fox played it and said that a lot of it feels like MK9 and vibes with it. That alone got me hyped.
