nothing wrong with that! means you got to play them when they were cool. if games were ever "cool" anyway

MK2 had cool death moves and level design but actually sucked shit to an amazing extent when you were actually playing it
I mean, can run through SF2 from time to time and enjoy it but MK's just like a series of awkwardly blocked punches and annoying shouting noises
Deadly Alliance was good

Even the fonts in MK3 were lamer... it is silly how the controversy after MK1 made it so they avoided bringing back the spine-ripping until MK4.

uh, MK vs. DC is really damn good! Granted I haven't played a MK (or any non-Smash Bros fighting game) in like 13 years, and I am solely interested in the DC stuff, but this is both fun and solidly put together. Feels like a true MK despite being 3D. And Captain Marvel's Kingdom Come lightning blast move is awesome.
dude, this totally sounds like a gamestop user review.

I feel like I could write some funny Zizek-esque explication of that clip, but I'm too tired right now to think. But how about this; We expect Jared to die in the first sequence when Sonya has thrown him off the cliff, but he subverts our expectations and throws her off instead. But, because the medium feels guilty for mocking our expectations (and MK is all about obvious payoff), Jared must still die to Jax in the next sequence. This both revenges the feminine (Sonya), but also sets everything right once more. We expected Jared to die and so he must die. This is, in fact, the meaning of Mortal Kombat. Subtlety is eschewed in favor of gore and fatalities (for which the series was critiqued historically) - it's not merely an adolescent fantasy world, but a fantasy world about completion and expectation. What happens is what always must have happened.
This is, in fact, why the friend-alities are the most subversive aspect of MK. Except, of course, for the baby-alities. (Contrast this to the DC world where storylines and comics extend for hundreds of issues over decades. MK V. DC is actually a battle between completion/resolution and unending non-linearity.)

they are called FRIENDHIPs
― Black Seinfeld (HI DERE), Friday, 21 November 2008 19:14 (fifteen years ago) link
The truth is, I always sucked at MK because I couldn't remember the really complicated moves.

i just ordered mk trilogy for playstation (i just got a ps2 for free so am buying some games for it). i hope its as good as i remember playing it in the arcades (and not a weird revamp). wondering if i should gt mk alliance.

IMO MK2 > UMK3 > MK > MK3
the rest, haven't played
― mh, Monday, 11 January 2010 22:25 (fourteen years ago) link
UMK3 added back some stuff that was good with MK2, but by then the franchise had already turned and a lot of people had walked away before it came out.
imo ultimate MK3 > MK ultra
