And mk1 is dying

The consistency on the Strive entrances is a very healthy sign for the community. I'm proud of them for going strong 3 years straight.

@@leithaziz2716 As much as some players harp on it not being "Guilty Gear'y" enough, there's just nothing quite like it. The closest other game to it is Granblue Versus, and that is still a much less.. Explosive game (even if I prefer playing and watching it over GG)

Strive have only 2k players so obviously since its woke it doesnt have more large audience.

​@@skyuru- "Woke"? GTFOH! You do realize there was a trans character (in the Statess) in Street Fighter IV and V. I'll let you figure out who, 😂😂

Yep. RIP MK

MK11 sold a hell of a lot though. There are several issues with MK1. The kameos are goofy and don't fit. Especially on non mk1 characters. There was probably a reboot too many now and people lost interest in the story as it delves into more timeline/dimension things. Personally i always hoped they went with the future where shang tsung won and put the spotlight on the order and chaos realms as it's heroes worked to reset the timeline and save the realms. It was a missed opportunity. A reboot could've worked if they based it on the great kung lao era as well. But, they just retreaded old ground with silly things like swapping who sub-zero and scorpion are, which is confusing. Like... i don't think it's a bad game, but it's tripping over itself. If they aren't gonna let it breathe with injustice releases, fatigue will set in if they don't change things up. Also, they need to stop going so hard into timelines. It got too much. Nothing matters in the story if you can just travel back in time or go to another universe. Those need to be used sparingly. I might be in a minority, but i hate all the guest characters too. I prefer to see MK characters. Make a crossover game if you want so many crossovers, i say. MK is losing it's identity.

Franchise is washed. Done. It's a relic of the 90's that should've ended long ago. I loved the franchise to the point I saw both original movies as a kid on day 1, played all the games, knew all the moves. Franchise is just SHIIIIIIIIIIIIT now. Clunky ass ugly animations, 2010's style cinematic campaign ain't nobody want, guest characters done by the time executives who don't even play fighting games, ugly ass art style, super anti-streamer/content creator friendly with no disable gore options and more. Just end this shit, launch it into The Pit.

MKX wasn't that long ago, and mk11 wasn't terrible, I enjoyed mk11 - not as much as MKX but it wasn't terrible, mk1 is just horrible, horrible, so bad that I hope they never attempt the cameo system again and stop supporting it, go back to the drawing board and pretend it never happened

​@@NemXX2No the problem already start in mk11 many people enjoy the game at first but regret buying it later on due to lack of support and it is really hard to gain outfits. You need both of you acc. to get the outfit to have the same outfit with 1 and 2 player which is annoying. Not all player love online most of the player just wanted to play with friends and family. Neither realm starting to be money grab.

Tekken 8 has way more characters than SF6 is very surprising.

I mean the small roster is only one problem I have with it. I don't like the system mechanics either

I'm not bothered about not enough base characters. I'm more bothered that there's only 4 more per season and very little else added.

​@Kawaiistarzone not really tekken has always had so many more characters then street fighter alot of the time

Those are casuals that don’t even understand that there are more characters coming. It’s like they don’t know we go through this with every streetfighter game lol

@@stickjohnny I'm not really an FGC guy so I couldn't tell you.

MK1 is VERY UGLY

Because MK1 is complete shit actually..

It isn't too surprising if you were to look at the numbers for previous tournaments. At Combo Breaker, Uni2 got 602 players but MK1 got 274 players. And at Frosty Faustings Uni2 got 524 while MK1 only got 152. Though CEO saw 114 for MK1 and 99 for Uni2. The numbers for both games have been occasionally close, but it looks like UNI players have more player loyalty to their game than MK players.

First time going here! Lets go evo!

As a strive player myself...100% agreee

Strive is literally peak guilty gear and guilty gear is a real OG fighting game.

fighting games are in a super healthy place right now

Guilty Gear being on the big 3 of fighting games is a dream come true

Combine all the ARC title here make it little close to Tekken 8, they are kinda eating good lmao.

Exactly and MK1 is VERY UGLY

The gameplay SUCKS. Idk what Max is talking about-their first attempt at an assist game is awful. MK really should not be an assist game tbh and obviously they would need to keep trying to get it down, when they could just follow MK9 and or MKX and build on what worked in the past..

Exactly. And I genuinely believe Mortal Kombat should stay as a 1v1 game. It always has been, aside from Tag modes, and the Cameos are just WAY too gimmicky to have any lasting power. It feels like they wanted to go to a tag out game, but didnt want to take the plunge so just did a half-assed version of it. Idk, feels like the MK franchise has always had such a strong identity and MK1 is a big falter from that.

I agree, also MK casuals don't want to buy a million dlc packs

​@@DrangusKahnif they wanted to do a assist game they should've done a spin off game or a different game entirely.

Not only that, KOF has a huge following all across Asia, traveling all the way to Las Vegas is a big investment of money and time that not all players can afford to, and that goes as well for the Latin America players.

@@astrobollo Sorry, I forgot about that. But true, KoF and SNK are quite big in countries like Pakistan and China, from what I remember

Exactly. kof is non-existent in usa. and snk is unlucky to have the most popular fighting game franchise not given any sh*t in the usa.

​@@enemychaser6487 china,s. korea, pakistan, brazil, chile. mexico is literally the mecca of kof and the nation with most top 8 participants in usa kof tourneys. but the visas and cost of travelling always have been a big issue like you said.

​@@alexandrealves9965ok bro we get it

@@alexandrealves9965 I feel as though they lean so far into the photo realistic presentation that it ends up feeling flat and flavorless. No risks taken.

​@@Turbulentdesk3967Exactly, its true

The cameos honestly killed the game, thats wat did it fr 🤦🏽‍♂️ idk why or wat they were thinking frfr. Mkx truly was da best 😞 💯

Someday SNK will manage to turn The King of Fighters into a huge series in the U.S. I mean, in the rest of the world it's pretty well know. The fact that I can buy a soft drink can adorned with characters from KoF '97 gives me the impression that it has to have at least some fans 😅

​@@pablocasas5906imagine EVO latin America and it's just people joining for kof97, 2002 and 15. No other games

@@Benxall KoF '97 isn't very popular in Latin America, that's the one which is immensely huge in China, where those cans I mentioned came from. The most popular ones are KoF '98 and 2002, though with 2002 there's the people who grew up playing the hacked "Magic Plus" version Another arcade game that's is hugely popular in Latin America is the rhythm game "Pump it Up", I've never seen a Dance Dance Revolution machine in the arcades, though the DDR home versions where much more common. In Argentina there were monthly tournaments for Daytona USA as well in the late '90s and early 2000s. Mortal Kombat is also very popular in places like Chile, Argentina and Mexico, I mean, the recent games from X onwards are the only fighting games dubbed into Neutral Spanish, with famous dub voices at that, I can't imagine SNK dubbing their games, that's expensive

It seems SNK is pushing City of the Wolves to become a huge hit in the U.S., especially considering they're dubbing the game into English, but not other languages. Though some of SNK's developers have mentioned that Fatal Fury seems to be more popular in the U.S. as opposed to how King of Fighters is more well-known in other regions like China and Latin America. I don't know if CotW could be to SNK what Guilty Gear: Strive was for ArcSys, perhaps Terry and Mai's inclusion on SF6 would help, but I don't know how could they make KoF more well-know

@@pablocasas5906 It's hard. Biggest reason I see why is the need to learn three characters, which is uhh...

​@@pablocasas5906For a start, marketing.

@@fiammaorsmth9840 yes, I've also seen that as a reason why KoF isn't as appealing as other fighting games. Technically, you could play 1-1 on KoF, though that's not the intended way, but Marvel vs. Capcom 2 is a 3-3 fighter and it's hugely popular

​@@pablocasas5906kof and fatal fury have a different player base. Fatal Fury is more popular in the us (though still not popular overall) for the reason that core FF gameplay is just street fighter gameplay minus two buttons. But then again why play a 4 button street fighter when you can play a 6 button street fighter is what it boils down to.

Sf6 and tekken 8 both made that happen! sf6 was at evo last year but this evo is way bigger cuz both games are there

@@user-kz4ls7qt5l Yeah, these entry numbers for those two games are wild. I’m glad that these two games expanded the FGC community this much.

@@bazzfromthebackground3696 the only protection we use at EVO is fight stick bags!

@@bazzfromthebackground3696 bad hygiene is protection enough

What do you mean greed? I’m curious why everyone is so unhappy with MK1, I mean I don’t think it’s a perfect game but people are treating it like it’s the worst Mortal Kombat we’ve ever had and I don’t understand why unless it’s specifically single player content you’re unhappy about because the roster is great and the gameplay is great and the graphics are great and even some of the story stuff is decent so I’m not sure why everyone is so incredibly unhappy with it when the most important parts of a fighting game which is what Mortal Kombat is, is pretty damn good in my opinion Unless we are just judging it based off of it single player content which is admittedly not great compared to previous titles

I been so sick of them locking skins behind these randomized lootbox mechanics or forcing us to play boring offline modes to unlock stuff. Invasions is so boring just like Towers in MK11 and Injustice 2, at some point I realize I'm not really playing the game just boring myself with these modes and the Krypt etc for the unlockables.

I'd blame Warner more than NRS. F Zaslov

Would be on Warner Bros, not NRS. Devs don't make these decisions.

@@nerakar6562 It's actually the worst MK NRS has develop by far, it's watered down to the point that it's so boring, instead of buffing all characters, they just keep nerfing and nerfing the damn characters, also the game is already in offer again for less than it's debut price because nobody is buying the game right now, also counting the predatory microtransactions and lame ass invasions updates,. As somebody who hates MK11 with passion, MK11 is overall a better game than MK1 and that''s something.

If they wanted mk1 to succeed they should’ve added literally anything. No content for a 100 game

I'd hardly call it new. It was exactly the same as MK11 in the ways that it really mattered. The assists just feel like gimmicks and once you wrap your head around it, the combat is exactly like MK11. Invasions were indeed a massive letdown though.

@@hands-ongaming7180 you can blame one Mr. David Zaslav. Man is dead set on the idea that he’s gonna make Warner Brothers live service games a thing.

Why it’s the worst mk game of the nrs era

@@stevesteve0521 explain how mk1 is somehow better than mkx quickly

There also seems to be a leadership or uncertainty or support crisis across everything WB the last few years.

Characters are so incomplete. Sindel has a low that is death on block and also doesn't lead to any combos unless you use very specific kameos. Most characters don't have both overhead and a low. The move lists are very stingy. Characters just don't have string variety. Unsafe moves are being made safe by Kameos with ultra variable timing. Bruh. Fking kameos. Ashrah has 2 flash parties that she may or may not telephone out. Speaking as an Ashrah main. Johnny cage exists. Characters have animations that do not match what the move is. Kenshi has an overhead that looks like a mid. Baraka has an armour breaking mid into low that looks like an overhead. Some moves are straight up missing startup animations. Bruh. Standing jabs are plus.......anyway, moving on. It's a good game. But in this fighting game economy, we need great games. That are also fun. And also balanced.

It's also not fun to watch, most of the kameo animations are awkward as hell and take too long

@@Inojin67 One of the biggest strengths of fighting games has been that people who don't play them can usually still watch and instantly know what's happening. MK1 is the opposite of that most of the time.

How is zoning strong in MK1? Theres so many anti zoning projectiles

@@hands-ongaming7180 You will surprised the numbers of casual who buy MK1 or Tekken 8 just for the story mode and never touch it after...

​@hands-ongaming7180 umm, but The Krypt and Towers of Time were online only as well. Other than that, I agree that Invasions mode is wayyyy more grindy and boring then MK11's ever was.

It's still a big drop off even strictly just by MK standards though. There were also polarising opinions about the variation systems in MKX/11 but they still had over 1K entrants in their respective first years.

the free to play version helps a lot, i've gotten several non fighting game players into it because of that. the lobby system is SO much better than strive's too. the simplified inputs also go far to lower the barrier to entry without hurting the depth of the gameplay. the only big flaw with the game is the current balance being out of whack, if they manage to get the power level of the cast closer together similar to where sf6 is, i think the numbers will continue to go up.

The original Granblue versus did pretty well all things considered and GBF Rising is really easy to pickup and still maintains depth at a high level. Good rollback netcode and the impact of the free version from what Ive seen is also more than you might think. You get to play most of the cast on a weekly rotation.

its a fun fighting game. everything else can be safely ignored. win/win

That Franchise was dead since mk11 soo….

Fighting games like SF6 and such mention here will die to have the numbers in sale and overall players MK1 have. Competition wise, yes its not the best, but... don´t get it twisted.

Can't wait to see only Johnny Cages-Khameleons and Peacemakers-Kanos for the whole tournament and only see the same combos over and over again

@@eldamiferswhat the hell are sales worth when like a quarter of the people that bought the game are playing it, what’s more embarrassing is that mk is arguably the biggest fighting game franchise ever yet sf6 sold almost the same as mk1 and so did tekken 8, it’s sad but true, it’s a dying franchise unless they bother to do something about it

MK has always been a spam fest.

YUP and commenters says the game is dying. That’s the FGC community for ya!

I disagree with your last point. If a game is fun then people will want to compete in my experience. MK1 just isn’t fun past a few matches tbh. The unbalance that you mentioned is so bad and it really makes me believe that WB did not give a damn about what they were releasing last year.

last point is cooked. mk has done more than its part for the FGC. its just had a bump in the road with mk1. its not just for fun. people are and will compete in mortal kombat. such a ass comment

Mk9 and Mkx were super competitive though, mk1 just fumbled

​@@snipesmcfreely5879Even mk11 had its moments tbh. I dont like mk11 but I cant deny watching mk11 is fun at times. Unlike mk1 where those moments are so rare because everyone is doing the same thing picking the same characters because only like 4 characters are complete.

KOF at evo is so funny to me because all the other games are how you usually feel watching fighting games but once you get to the KOF streams its like watching a soccer broadcast

GBVSR has the same exact problem, and i'm sure it sold even less than 20% of the copies of MK1, but despite that, it got double the entrants of MK1. The truth is, MK is trash, and also incredibly boring to watch

you say that, but third strike has a higher enlistment

This problem is not exclusive to MK1, and is not the reason for the low numbers IMO. Third Strike is dominated by Yun and Chun mirrors, Granblue finals at CEO was a Nier mirror, you will always have a HC and Leo player at Strive Top 8 (although that's moreso cause Tempest is such a good player), etc.

I think MK1 was doomed from the start. The way Ed Boon tweeted towards the end of MK11 sounded like he was ready to move away from MK for a while and make other games. Then later, just a short while before this game was announced, he replied to someone asking about their next game and said "Either Injustice or MK". I still subscribe to a tinfoil hat theory that MK1 started out as IJ3. Kameos could just as easily have started out as a "Sidekick" system. Shao Khan's redesign has moves that would be right at home on Steppenwolf, and not to mention just how many Superman parodies ended up in the DLC lineup. Maybe because they already had some moves planned, maybe because The Boys and Invincible are hot right now. True or not, Boon's talk online adds up to a game he wasn't keen on putting his heart in yet. Which also means he might not have argued too hard when WB started talking intense monetization.

I'm sure they care about the thing they have to make as their job, but I do feel like there isn't as much passion in these games, and there hasn't been probably since mk11. I know this is a very subjective and ethereal thing to talk about, but you look at Street Fighter 6 and the last leg of SF5, and then look at MK 11 and Mk1, and you get different impressions from either side.

The saddest thing is that i think they care, they are just not competent.

Mortal Kombat 9 is one of the best fighting games of all time and in my opinion the best Mortal Kombat game

More than likely, yeah

It seems City of the Wolves will be more popular to U.S. fighting game players compared to King of Fighters. If what SNK's developers say is true, Fatal Fury is more popular with U.S. players compared to King of Fighters, which is more popular with Latin Americans and Chinese

The problem is the kameo system. Unsafe move being made unsafe leading into combos. MK 1 is a fun game, just is missing some balance clean ups. The characters also lack strings and variety without their kameos. Which means characters are mostly half backed and don't have enough move variety.

Mk1 has been boring from the jump. It had almost no hype and their sole purpose is milking those who bought it.

The Kameo system kept me from buying it altogether. When they confirmed it was gonna be assist-based *only*, the writing was on the wall from that point forward that they were out of ideas.

​@@therealblackcerberus2371Nd they promised us the 1v1 without kameo..... Where TF is it??!

This is true, plus some annoying mechanics. But I'm confident that they can fix it. Please

They're probably planning the big patch as we speak best with how fast they nerfed Beatrix not to mention the last two characters of the season are probably going to be revealed add Evo and it has to be a highly requested character with how much they've been hyping it up

Agree

OG arcades i think

Was at Combo Breaker, they had CRT screens with CPS3 boards. I imagine it'll be the same setup there since Rick runs both events.

lol crazy right? Goes to show you people should have more respect for the old school and not always the shiny new toy unless your streetfighter 6 🔥
