  • @ApacheJay156

    I agree with the guy who said MK2. Even if it's not as deep as modern games, if you experienced it, it was a social phenomenon that has no equal in the modern era of online battles. To be at the arcade with 20 other guys around the machine doing a fatality that you learned about on usenet was just an experience that no one in the later generations can even understand.
    Also soul calibur 2 was great for similar reasons, but it also had the depth that MK lacked.

    • @victorvenable587
      @victorvenable587 Před 24 dny +1

      I think out of the older MK games, that was the game. And if you go to an arcade, you're most likely are going to see a MK2 machine before you'll see a 3, Ultimate 3, and heck, the first one.
      Agree with SC2 as well.

Even better now that somebody made a MUGEN of MK2 called *"MK II remix".* They take everything best from the original and enhanced it. It's super awesome. I'm in love with that game and haven't touch any other fighting games for months now. 🙂

      Peak fighting, period. FGC says they love SCII *more* than SC on the Dreamcast, the fighting game that was seriously considered for GotY (not fighting game of the year, just GotY, period) when it's immediate competition was VF3, Tekken 3 and SFIII3S, but they always pretend it's a 'lesser' Tekken even though it controls better and is easier to learn despite the characters having *more* moves than Tekken characters (over half the cast of SCVI had more moves than T7 King). It's sad.

      MK9 was awesome because you saw the return of 2D in the series but the game was highly broken and so was MKX. It’s like people forget how many people hated MKX when it was a thing.
      My favorite MK is the new one. I think in terms of mechanics, it’s the best MK they’ve released and I know a lot of people will disagree but I’ve been there and watched the game and scene develop for awhile. MK and really NRS games in general have never had longevity been incredibly successful in the competitive scene. They’ve always just done really good with sales because of the casual fan getting the game for nostalgia or flash.
