Daily reminder that mk1 should have just been a 2v2 tag game

@Latino_Burrito 25 күн бұрын

I disagree they shouldn’t even have bothered with tag/assist systems period😭 stick to 1v1. That’s my personal opinion at least, don’t get me wrong I can tolerate and even have some fun with Kameos, but at the end of the day I just enjoy true, traditional 1v1 best. I don’t want teammates, I don’t want assists, I don’t want to worry about mix and matching my kameo or whatever I just wanna pick my main and fight. I know being creative and mix and matching is the fun for some people, but everyone at this point knows the top tier kameos so obviously those get the most picked and it gets boring to play AND watch. I also just don’t wanna learn every kameo just let me learn my character. That’s obviously on me, but at the same time I think it just goes to show I’m not a big fan of the mechanic. Again, I can tolerate it, even force myself to enjoy it at times but do I enjoy it over traditional mk? No, hell no😭

@@TheBanished_Gaming Competitors, and repetition like this. MKX was a golden child, for all of it's problems there was still massive amounts of content, and great characters to learn. MK11 still kept that content, but they fucked up the fighting, however the player base was still loyal. Here though with something like this, having 591 recurring streams compared to the thousands your competitors have over is only going to hurt the pockets in the long run. Mortal Kombat isn't a monopoly, they have SF and Tekken to contend with. And even though both of those games have been out, they clearly attract and maintain more players than MK. If ED were to just laugh to the bank, he'd start questioning why the check is getting lower. Because with shit like this, the player base is dropping.

@TheBanished_Gaming 26 күн бұрын

@@DondonII that was the most lucid, well thought of response to anything I’ve ever posted on any channel. Not only did you make a legitimate counter argument to my comment but you also made me question my own position on the subject. I too find it hard to see any situation where Ed or WB can continue in the direction they are currently taking with MK1 and have any hope of retaining much more of the fanbase. Tekken 8 and SF6 both stumbled on their way as well but they were able to recover far quicker than MK1. I say that feciously because MK1 has yet to recover from several issues that plagued it from day 1. I find it utterly ridiculous that a KP2 and story expansion are still in the pipeline to be released given the fact that the player base has been reduced to a shell of what it has been in previous titles, as you said streams are almost non existent because the fans find the game boring, and the players find it boring. Adding more characters and content is the last thing they need to focus on. Fixing the game itself first then adding more content should be the way they go. Like I said earlier I have not seen a response like yours that was well thought out and full of facts in a long time and it was refreshing to see.

Sad part is, I wouldn't want Khameleon nerfed. She is the only kameo that people tend to use her entire kit and the way people play changes depending on which form she is currently in. No other kameo can say that. It's unsafe move into special and every single person plays this way. And that in and of itself is not an issue. The problem, is that they have several other moves in their arsenal. Yet they are never ever used. The main character isn't even the main character. The kameo doesn't even matter. The kameo move is what is being selective, then everything forms around that one singular move.

Great video and content as always. You hit the nail on the head yet again. The only reason why I even bothered watching Final Kombat this past weekend was because I enjoy the SonicFox and NinjaKilla rivalry but mainly to see if another character besides Johnny or Peacemaker would win. I was so disappointed when people that didn’t use those characters lost. I even got excited when I watched an Ashrah player win the LCQ. After this season of DLC is done I’m going to just let the game collect dust in my PC library. I’m just gonna do the combo trials (yet again) and once I’m done with them I’ll be uninstalling the game immediately. I have never played MK competitively but it has always been the game I enjoyed playing outside of the games that I actually do play competitively. Keep up the good work and I will continue to support you and your content. Idgaf how the MK community sees you. All that matters to me is how I see you and to me you’re one of the unsung heroes within that community.

The problem is that: A) - you’re expecting rationality from a lot of extremely irrational people. & B) - you are expecting things to change from a company that has outright refused to do so at every single opportunity given to them. And because NRS won’t change, then sadly the poor quality content made directly by them won’t change. This franchise is dead, and they’re willfully burning it up the ground. It’s time to let Mortal Kombat die and move something else. Because at this point, it’s painfully obvious that those working at NRS, including Crazy Ed himself, are closed minded and simply don’t care. The only way this franchise can ever truly be salvaged is if they give the rights back to John Tobias since it’s *his* creation and not Ed’s, fire Ed Boon completely and his entire team, remove *all* games from Deadly Alliance up until now from canon and *only* keep MK 1-4 plus Mythologies as canon, and do a completely new story with John writing it. But that’s just never going to happen. So, unfortunately, we are at an impasse with this colossal mess of a franchise. And the numbers are showing quite clearly that it’s beyond dead.

It really feels like most people can't conceive that criticism comes from a place of love for the franchise. Most content creators I've seen who don't have surface level criticism towards NRS, always mention how much they love the franchise. Often including mk9 and mkx.

I absolutely agree with you 150%! I just made a video talking about how I felt about Final Kombat last night and it essentially mirrored everything you said here. So out of 513 possible teams that they could have chose from, the competitors only chose 2 teams for 95% of the entire top 8... With Homelander there are 532 potential teams to play with... But even then only 2 teams are viable for pro competition. Ridiculous... absolutely ridiculous. They really need to bring the other characters to the level of Johnny and Peacemaker to where they can stand on their own. They also just need to redesign the Kameo characters so they can match the recharge rate of Khameleon and have the same amount of tools that she gives to the characters.

Tom, what would you say for the idea of Kameos being usable like Fatal Blows - something like... 2 times a game or even spread it by 1 use per round. Even if they raise the impact of the Kameo, make them OP AF, but usable twice per match. Then we'll have the mindgames of "is he gonna cover their a$$ with Kameo, or not" and we won't have to see constant safety caused by broken and spammable Kameos.
