To be quite honest, I do not see much of an appeal for it. It looks like MK11 but with more realistic environments, longer air to air combos and a tacked on assist move feature(except you can't actually seem to switch between the assists). There isn't really anything shown that excited me. If you found it exciting more power to you.

However, if they reveal that you can actually swap between characters and not just use assists, I am 100% sold on the game.

havent seen it but Street Fighter 6 sweeps

Street Fighter VI is definitely the more appealing FG of 2023 with it's revamped meter system, lobbies and what not.

I loved how MK9 was rebooted and all the single player content. I didn't really care for MK10 or MK11. MK1 is giving me MK9 vibes for some reason. Getting JVC on board is also cool. I'm sure they'll fuck up the Krypt with monetization again.

 

[kimcorecoba]

I don't like the new gummy mechanic they introduced since deadly alliance. You get punished for too long and I fear this was done for the looks and not the actual mechanics. Xray is the worst thing introduced ever. Very pointless. My favourite MK will always be UMK3.

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

Will really come down to single player content but Netherealm always delivers on that front so let's see what happens. Konquest Mode would make it day 1, otherwise I can wait for the GOTY edition with all the DLC packed in. It's going to be hard to top SF6 for fighting game of the year, CAPCOM knocked it out of the park.

 

[JohnSpartanLee]

Looks kinda great and kinda weird at the same time. As always.

I'll pass.

 

[lh032]

i like it, day 1 for now.
I dont have unrealistic expectation in the first place.

 

[Shtef]

I liked it, it reminds me of a kung fu fighting game we never got.

 

[SALMORE]

it's the same old shity animation & claymation gameplay ! it looks like a guy is playing with action figures in front of a green screen

 

[cireza]

It needs to have a good krypt and solo game modes, with things to unlock, or I won't even bother.

It has a stupid name.

I hate it when new games or consoles to a series are titled "one". So confusing and inconvenient.

Yeah, I mean, reboot continuity makes sense, but the fact that I didn't know about that until today is something else. People should never have to guess what a product is, that's like...marketing 101

 

[Camreezie]

Cool directions with some of the characters but i thought it looked visually disappointing especially compared to Tekken 8 and SF6

 

[Ridaxan]

Day 1 for me. I really enjoyed MK11 and it's typically the one game that's continuously played at social gatherings.

 

[Shut0wen]

Love mk series but dont take online as serious as street fighter, i love the combos on the game but mk imo has always been incredibly unbalanced

 

[LastBattle]

I thought I looked pretty sweet but this made me laugh Well played.

Unnecessary thread, there's already a thread for MK1 gameplay reveal discussion.

Better keep it there. Mods should lock the thread.

Looks great, Day 2

 

[RoboFu]

I like it! Even if it just means going back to sensible costume designs it’s a win.

Some street fighter games are unbalanced too. SF3 is notoriously unbalanced, top tourney placers only stuck to the top 7 in USF4.

Ignored.

Yeah i know, even og street fighter 2 is incredibly unbalanced, at least with street fighter, biggest problem with mk unbalance is ariel combos, raiden on either mk9 or 10 can dominate you eithout even labding on the ground and withour being able to combo break made it game breaking

Raiden is one of the easiest characters to deal with in MKX lol.

Its the mk with kabal thats straight out of injustice 2

 

[AeonGaidenRaiden]

For me, there is not a single character I feel excited about because its just the same costumes we have seen before. Yes its kind of a "reboot" but every time a new MK comes out, you always wonder about the design of Scorpion, Sub_zero, reptile, ermac, noob etc. Everything seems like its already been done. Now, main culprit for that could be that in MK11 and the Krypt you had like 30-40 different outfits for each character so it feels as if ive already seen these designs before. Scorpion and Sub literally look like they came straight out of MK11.

The assist/tag team is a new gameplay mechanic but we already had a return to the past characters in MK11, we saw Kano in MK3 and MK1 outfit before, same for Sonya and others. So its not like some big never before seen surprise. Also Johnny Cage RIPS new Cage from MK1. New Cage looks so pedestrian. Like from a Yakuza game.

??? Are you referring to MK11? What about it?

Its not even marketing only. I was looking for screenshots and id say 70% of search result was still the 1992 game. Thats one thing I hate when in search you now have to clarify what year and many games did that before too.

Same stupidity like with Doom 2016, instead of just Doom4, it becomes that.
It's not even the second MK 1, since we also got Mortal Kombat (2011) aka MK9.
At least call it MK 1 Kome back here or some stupid subtitle, but restarting the numbering for a new generation of MK, building upon whatever happeend in MK11? Will they continue with 2 and 3 etc. as well? And then after 4 again lose that train of thought and drop any numbers? Why not just MK 12 if it is a continuation of what began in MK11? They missed the mark for the pivot point but MK X1, MK X2 etc. would have made at least some sense as the new alternate universe restart.

 

[Spukc]

MKX to M11 was a clear jump.
They didnt really reveal any extra modes.

So right now this game looks like DLC for MK11

But then again when the first footage of TotK came out it looked like BotW dlc so

Only in graphics. MKX >>> in every other category, especially combat.

 

[Mr.Phoenix]

Out of respect for the peope that like it or are still into the franchise... I reserve my comments.

 

[drganon]

Name is terrible.

 

[darrylgorn]

They made a mistake.

Something like this would fix it:

 

[NT80]

Looks underwhelming. Same terrible stiff robotic animation and graphically it looked like MK11 with slightly nicer looking stages.

 

[DevilMayFlyForAWhiteGuy]

I liked MK9 and MKX, but 11 didn’t hold my interest. Gameplay-wise it seemed too limiting whereas as in the previous games you could get really creative with set-ups and combos. Which is a shame because the overall roster was better than X, MKX just had the better gameplay.

I really got tired of all the guest characters they’ve started doing since X. A few here and there are fine, but half the DLC roster being guests just seems like a waste when they can also bring back older characters from past games.

I’ll probably wait for a Komplete edition if the gameplay is better than MK11. But until then I’ll probably wait and see if I wanna Folgers SF6 or T8.

 

[Fredrik]

Well, gore is not my thing, so…
I liked what I saw of the gameplay though, the easily accessed tag team combos looked interesting.

 

[Mr Branding]

Looks like 11 which is fine by me. Not sold on the kameos still but hope they grow on me. Haters gonna hate.

 

[Clear]

Looked like a really good MK game to me.

Which is great for fans of the franchise, and people into fighting games. As for someone like myself -who isn't likely to drop $70 on a game of that type- it was at the very least a fun little showing that held my attention throughout.

 

[diffusionx]

I thought it looked pretty dope but I wish they went full TTT/MVC with a tag system then just this weird one they were describing that doesn't really make a lot of sense.

 

[diffusionx]

They made a mistake.

Something like this would fix it:

YOOOOO ED
HIRE
THIS
MAN

 

[Bonfires Down]

I don’t play fighters, but what stuck out to me was how badly distinguished the characters were from the backgrounds. Just using all the GPU power for complex background geometry with no regard for how the visual clutter affects readability.

Pretty cool to see all the guys with modern visuals though as the last time I really looked at them was on the Mega Drive.

 

[Just_one]

Only thing good about MK is the story mode and the finishers.

Gameplay always was very robotic and bad. In that department Street fighter will always be the best fighting game, its gameplay is so damn smooth and fast

That being said i´ll probably get this at a sale some point down the line for sure

 

[GHG]

After the OP's previous takes on SF6 this is now guaranteed to be a banger.

 

[Interfectum]

This will be the best selling MK to date no doubt. I'm in day one.
