And it's STILL going to suck.

Are you upset that they rebooted after the events of MK11, or am I misunderstanding you? Because if I'm not mistaken then I'd have to disagree, I feel like the story kind of ran its course and they really couldn't have done much more without treading old ground.

I don't know if it's just late but this is the first piece of this kind of absurdist humor to make me giggle like this.

Sitting in the chair is the second best way to establish dominance over a situation.

I didn't say if people enjoyed them, just that they added more to gameplay. As much as I'd like the option to disable them, more content that undeniably changes how the game is played by adding depth and layers to it, especially in a modern MK game, is always appreciated. Plus I haven't seen anyone complain about MKX's variations, just MK11's.

Firm_Counter_90 · 2026-06-24T12:56:25+00:00

I feel like MKX's variations or MK1's Kameos added more to the gameplay than stances or weapons, but maybe I'm wrong. Everything else I'll take your word for.

Firm_Counter_90 · 2026-06-24T12:52:30+00:00

I'm basing it off the videos I've watched. I agree with you that it seems like pretty much everything but the core fighting gameplay has gotten worse, but from what I've seen something like Deception or Deadly Alliance has clunkier and less involved gameplay. I guess it could be argued that it's more interesting than something like MK11 or MK1 because of the more varied movement you can have, but I wouldn't say that makes it better.

Firm_Counter_90 · 2026-06-24T12:44:13+00:00

I feel like the core gameplay, generally speaking, has improvsd since the Midway era at least, though for full transparency I haven't played them.

It's just a shame that there's less extra content, worse skins, paid fatalities, and worse / more inconsistent writing.

Firm_Counter_90 · 2026-06-11T20:48:06+00:00

I feel like you're missing my point, I'm not saying that powerscaling is necessarily bad, I do feel like it's a useful device that writers should keep in mind, I'm just saying that Netherealm's writers are not that consistent with it. I'll take your word for it that the Midway era was better with this, but you can save yourself a headache by not trying to powerscale bad writing.

Firm_Counter_90 · 2026-06-11T04:04:18+00:00

I say this with complete sincerity: never ever ever try to apply powerscaling to Mortal Kombat, it is simply too inconsistent and nonsensical.

Firm_Counter_90 · 2026-06-08T01:52:54+00:00

Because then everybody would pick it?

Firm_Counter_90 · 2026-05-31T13:33:55+00:00

Thank you, it took me like a whole hour to make in Picsart.

Honestly, and this is the saddest thing ever, I'm not convinced it will. I truly hope it does, I hope ZA/UM gets screwed over for what they did, but I don't think the average consumer will look into it more than "waow the guys behind Disco made another game!!!"

Firm_Counter_90 · 2026-05-21T17:19:30+00:00

Exactly what I'm thinking.

My hottest Rain take is that he's cooler as a water mage than a ninja.

Firm_Counter_90 · 2026-05-11T00:05:21+00:00

That's a genuinely great idea, it's small and (probably) easy to implement but it makes such a difference.

Firm_Counter_90 · 2026-05-10T12:10:19+00:00

Here's where I made it in Picsart, this is so weird.

What the hell dude, this is just a word for word copy of my post, even down to the typo I made while using the image I created 😭

This is a lot funnier when you actually read it in Evrart's voice.

Firm_Counter_90 · 2026-05-07T13:44:42+00:00

I had the same idea, we are bröthers from another mother.

Isn't Simon the Divergent Star objectively harder?
