Holy shit the graphics look amazing, the characters look realistic, and the fighting animations are the best of any fighting game now. The fights in this look like really well done fight scenes from a tv show or movie, like The Raid/The Raid 2.
Because MK if you had to hold back to block in MK all the teleports would make the game infuriating to play Remember when Scorpion first dropped in Injustice 1?
Anthony Baker
Because it's intuitive and makes more sense than hold back to block which can cause issues with proximity blocking fucking with character movement.
Lincoln Williams
Shit kusoge combat though, so who cares?
Brayden Sullivan
outside of cutscenes animations pretty garbage.
Brody Anderson
>WAAHHH MOMMY WHY DOESNT THIS PLAY LIKE STREET FIGHTER
Ryan Gutierrez
i doesnt have much of a dynamic, and with those clunky animations its nowhere close to Raid. Ban this shill.
The gameplay is good, and arguably better than games like Tekken, DOA, KOF and DBFZ that revolve entirely around long boring combos that never end.
Angel Gutierrez
>clunky animations
They steadily improved. It took them over a decade, but they finally did it. No other fighting game has animations this well made that capture what realistic fighting looks like:
I can tell Ed Boon is a fan of The Raid and similar asian martial arts flicks.
Ryder Garcia
why does this game show men pissing but cant show titties? wtf kind of gay shit is that?
Ethan Miller
looks like a sub-1000 player game to me bucko
Carter Adams
>Kano's new VA Okay NRS, I'm a little closer to buying this game now
Jeremiah King
But it's not Dead on Arrival 6
Bentley Phillips
>fighting animations are the best of any fighting game now youarenteventrying.jpeg
Benjamin Harris
It's shit though. Definitely does not justify the whatever hype there is.
Joseph Bailey
Bullshit, compare it to street fighter v, that game's animation looks like shit compared to this. Tekken is the only game that even comes close, and its only issue is the fighting looks too unrealistic.
Gabriel Jones
Remember when jade was a dark skinned white woman? They ruined her in 11
Cooper Taylor
>and the fighting animations are the best of any fighting game now.
fuck no. The fighting animations are still just as fucking wobbly and weightless as it ever was. Don't confuse this with the actually good looking cinematic animations like intros/x-rays that are getting better with each game I mean just look at this shit youtube.com/watch?v=xSv8ZtE4aOg It's literally the exact same ugly shit since MK vs DC but now it's just better concealed with all the surrounding presentation like xrays and slowmo. just compare that with Tekken or SF, or any arcsys game's animations.
otherwise you are right, NRS is destroying the competition, and pretty much destroying the whole fighting game genre with it. They basically latched the entire casual market with the capeshit presentation and story modes of the new NRS games. Just MKX sold more than all other fighting games this generation combined.
This means that all other fighters need to spend a big budget on a shoehorned cinematic story to even be able to compete, while also having smaller budget because of NRS taking away all the potential casual buyers, resulting in all Non-NRS fighting games this gen having less content and weaker production values than they had in previous gens.
that knife throw looks like his arm is made of rubber. I can tell that they improved the animations alot, but I still can't call them good yet.
Samuel Smith
> I can tell that they improved the animations alot there is literally just more motionblur on them. Most animations are straight up reused from MK9
Julian Taylor
That looks ok, but it lacks that ooomph and grit that MK 11 animations have. MK 11 combos look like stuff you'd see in a movie fight scene, which makes it look and feel better. Tekken is still too over the top and wacky looking.
Luis Richardson
Namco needs to revamp the juggling system, because it makes the fighting look bad. If they fixed that up and made more of the fighting look like fighting instead of punching people's feet and heads as they lay down in midair, it would give MK a run for its money for sure.
Tyler Campbell
I meant compared to X. At least now the characters move their bodies sometimes
Nolan Howard
Not him, but MK has shit animations compared to Japanese fightan, it's not even close. The moves also lack impact.
Colton Long
Because Tobias hated the idea of crossups.
Mason Sullivan
Watch that video again, the moves have impact, it's just realistic. Japanese fighters try too hard to convey impact and it looks silly and animeish. Like people literally flying back from a hard punch as tons of dust flies up and you hear some loud as fuck metal clanging noise. MK is more like real fighting or a movie fight scene.
He was smart, crossups look stupid and unrealistic. It's so dumb seeing someone attack the wrong direction and magically hit an opponent despite not touching them.
Asher Parker
> it lacks that ooomph and grit that MK 11 animations have strange because that's EXACTLY what I think NRS animations lack. They don't feel impactful at all.
I think you might prefer them because NRS animations are "less exaggerated", but it's not like they are realistic either.
Dead or Alive is realistic fighting animations done right Tekken and SF are impactful animations done right MK is literally just this B tier action movie level of animations
I don't think you could make "juggling" more realistic without taking out this gameplay mechanic completely. It's an unrealistic concept in the first place, but it's a good gameplay mechanic (same with wavedashing)
and it's not like MK juggling doesn't look even more ridiculous. Like literal rubber man bouncing in the air
Joshua Parker
>Dead or Alive is realistic fighting animations done right
makes me so mad this game's beautiful animations are wasted on a game full of garbage waifushit catered to perverts who cant even play the game
Landon Carter
While I still don't think the animations are quite right (still lacking good key poses, dashes and jumps still look kinda weird) I do think this is a big step forward from MKX and even Injustice 2.
What baffles me though is that casual fans seem to be pissed off. They want MK to look like trash, and play like trash.
Camden Howard
I never saw casual fans bitching about the animation in this, wtf
Gavin Sanders
I guess more of what I'm seeing casuals bitch about is the gameplay. Lack of "kombos" mostly.
Jackson King
they bitch more about MK11 being slower and less combo oriented,
which is ironic. I think NRS literally wants to kill SF, especially in it's current weakened state, by embracing it's neutral game focused game design, and taking it's place as the big competitive fighter. I wonder how this will turn out for them, like even if they are capable of designing a good neutral game based fighter, the target audience of MK was always casuals and they are clearly not so fond of the more footsie based gameplay.
James Diaz
if nrs wants to kill SF they need to make a new female character that is literally not chun li chun li
if that happens SF is fucked
Jeremiah Stewart
>they are clearly not so fond of the more footsie based gameplay Which is hilarious to me, because I'd bet my left foot that they can't do more than mash buttons, and they may have pulled off a clip-worthy combo once in their entire lives.
Jeremiah Hughes
dont casuals also bitch about combos being too long and not liking getting stuck in them
so wtf do they want then
Elijah Carter
No it wouldn't, lots of fighting games have teleports, also scorpion is low tier in injustice, you are jut shit
Julian Gonzalez
tekkens animations are some of the worst i have ever seen in any video game
Nolan James
I think there's a block button in DOA 6
Jeremiah Morgan
>day 1 DLC >interactive movie story >copying and pasting the same base game over and over with only graphic improvements >1/3 of the characters will be extortionary DLC >microtransactions >female characters no longer wear skimpy clothes so they can sell alternative virtual dresses >female characters no longer have heroic portions over "realism" and feminist ideology
I don't like the artstyle (geras looks like an injustice char) and i'm worried about the monetisation of all the gear you can get. Gonna wait for the Kollection
Connor Kelly
It does look like The Raid movies, you're just biased to weeb shit that's all. MK is a man's fighting game, not pussy sissy shit like SFV and Tekken 7 and DOA and Shit Calibur. I bet you never been in a fight in your life, and I bet you're just like your mother. Can't take a punch.
Isaac Gutierrez
>arcsys game >good animation
bwahahahahahaha
Dead or Alive should fit the name, so it should look like The Raid or something similar, with real gritty characters and dark atmosphere. Imagine one stage being an aquarium late at night after hours, and its dark as hell with fucked up fish in these huge tanks all around. And you can knock someone into a tank below to get eaten by godawful huge alien fish.
Ian Williams
Third Strike sucks, Viscant says its garbage, also they made chun li fat in that game
Charles Allen
The actual attack animations and combos look like The Raid.
No other fighting game looks this good. Fuck your cartoony floaty shit.
Luke Johnson
>the characters look realistic Ah yes, realism - just what I look for in my MK games.
MK returned to form with 9 when it went back to it's roots - appealing to old fans and reaping the rewards, it's completely derailed itself since then and will hopefully drop back into the gutter that the franchise had been rotting in previously.
>that clunky as fuck gameplay Can't wait for the 90/100 rating and winning goty and still be the most boring as fuck comp game of all time lmao
Wyatt Morgan
No, more like MK keeps hitting new peaks for the genre, while the Japanese franchises crash and burn. Tekken vs Street Fighter will be a massive failure, Street Fighter 6 won't even get made, Soul Calibur and DOA are dead. Only anime games and MK will be alive.
Mortal Kombat has always been an genuine weeaboo fighter though. >Only knows stray aspects of Asian culture >Language is complete gibberish >Random Japanese god is the leader >First three games used low budget LARPing photos that barely know any proper martial arts >No one but extremely closeknit arcade scenes actually knew how to learn fighting games, and online didn't exist yet, so casuals didn't know how shit the series was outside one game and a spinoff until the reboot. It's the luckiest franchise in the world to come out when it did.
Noah Cook
>Chun-Li vs Ken the game Imagine the fucking cuck who plays other characters than them lmao
Asher Turner
MK 11 gameplay is buttery smooth and the fighting looks and feels like fight scenes from The Raid
Logan Reed
>not even 60 fps >buttery smooth do you even know what that word means?
Carson Baker
Mad that you haven't been doing your yoga stretches, I see.
>West Fighting Game fans don't make their own evo featuring KI and MK ?????
Jackson Wood
The weebs seethe because big American game shits all over their shitty jap games, I love it, will buy the premium edition of MK11.
Anthony Price
>Looks like the Raid
>MK11 doesn't have any constant parrying >There's too many cuts and dynamic camera angles to resemble 2D plane animation. >This game looks like a prop heavy group fight with close combat and knives.
>There's no grounded martial artist in MK11 at the moment whatsoever
What does this even mean?
Ryan Roberts
it IS 60 fps you dumbass
Connor Wood
Yeah lemme just materialize a world-class event out of thin air for two games that aren't even close to the most popular games in the FGC.
Alexander Johnson
Because the alternative is gay ass anime shit or poor detail anime dolls that look like failed attempts at realism like doa, soul calibur, and tekken. DMC 5 shows anime stuff looks better in realism anyway.
Alexander Ramirez
How the fuck are Kano, Cassie, and Johnny not grounded martial artists?
Nolan Parker
Looks fun, shame the roster is butchered for the sake of DLC
Parker Martin
Fuck parrying, look at the STYLE. The way it looks and sounds and FEELS. MK 11 is basically the closest any fighting game can get to The Raid fight scenes.
Yes, NRS basically make the most successful fighters these days. Best graphics, best content, blah, blah.
Side note: The Spec Ops chars are the new palette swap ninjas. They finally got over that stigma, now they're at it again with Cassie and Jac-qui-qui.
Dominic Morris
Another thing: they used the exact same blood splatter for every xray and fatality.
Jordan Torres
>Tekken >impactful animations done right HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Bentley Phillips
>Magic green bullshit, tag team, gigantic joint-locking haymakers , flips, and roundhouses being extremely safe to do. >Blanka balling, hidden weapons longer than your forearm, cybernetics and grapple being the opponent letting them get princess carried with zero retaliation and backdropping. >More Magic and weaponry
Fucking what? All you're implying to me is The Raid is pretty overrated. Never mind, I think you guys are just afraid to admit the only reason you guys didn't play Virtua Fighter is ironically "not enough blood, boobs, and anime silliness". youtu.be/tYswTPSDC_Y?t=381
Owen Jackson
I don't understand why I always get hit by *teleports behind you* attacks in Injustice but I counter instantly in DBFZ
David Peterson
>the animations are the best what did he mean by this? honestly cant think of a fighter with worse animations than mk11. and the character designs in mk11 are the worst in series history. half of the cast are injustice heroes now.
Eli Wilson
Well what's your comparison, multiple examples of bad impact, and suggestion of improvment then sir? This is the fighting game community after all.
Cameron Clark
I dont play Virtua Fighter because its a terrible 2 button fighting game with zero depth, it died for a reason.
Nathan Wilson
MK11 looks amazing desu, between the crisp animations and amazing character designs how could I not preorder?
Brayden Bell
Why would you type "desu" you weirdo
Jonathan Morris
EPIC GAMEPLAY! WOOOOOOW!!
Jack Miller
user, this isn't 2003 anymore. KOF has twice the moveset of SF AND not-shitty moves, with two less buttons.
Carter Rodriguez
>fighting games How the fuck is that genre still relevant in 2019?
Jaxson Perry
By being still alive than the dead as fuck rts and moba scene LOL
Nathan Murphy
>jumping whitout bending your knees common now not even MY shitty fighting game had animations this bad youtube.com/watch?v=_z-cXdFMByM
Camden Fisher
>the characters look realistic that´s the problem >The Raid/The Raid 2. as much as i love the these movies, most of the fights are unreal aaand i tought that op pic was a good looking latina not an african american (tania), this one isn´t t. latino
Kevin Clark
>muslim kombat 11 Yeah fuck that, pass, fuck off shill
Jose Lewis
Is this the new tekken game?
Luis Long
Hi Shill
Tyler Flores
Obvious butthurt samefag is obvious
Ryder Walker
>Gameplay is good >Gameplay is somehow better than every other fighting game to ever exist Yeah no sorry, even a turn based RPG moves faster than fucking NRS games. I tried to like Injustice 2 but the game felt like it was in slow motion compared to every other fighting game I've ever played. I guess it's fine if you're used to only needing the reaction speed of a drunken slug but it sure as shit isn't better than anything.
Leo Carter
Put some effort into your bait
Ethan Jackson
So to try and be different they become a mobile game, right?
Sebastian Mitchell
>SFV: the most dumbed down SF game to date, awful gameplay, awful graphics, awful netcode, ads in games.
>DBFZ: baby masher based on a childs tv show, auto combos galore, buggy as fuck, DBZ babies left the game when they found out its a fighter and now its a ghost town
>SC6: The most dumbed down SC game to date, reveral edge, bunch of other stolen mechanics that have been implemented very poorly, online is a mess, game is seen as an incel waifu simulator even more than DoA
>tekken: lol
>Guilty Gear Xrd Relevator 2LGBT+: The most dumbed down guilty gear game to date, overpriced DLC, game is visually a mess, even Arcsys has forgotten about it.
Are you really going to make that post in a world where Guilty Gear Xrd exist? That game peak fighting game visuals.
Brandon Smith
>"I can't handle facts, therefore it's bait!" NRS value their cinematic story modes and "realism" more than an actually enjoyable fighting game, if it's slow enough that casual players won't get overwhelmed that's more people like you sucking their dick over how realistic it looks or some shit. Even fucking Killer Instinct is a better fighting game because the pace isn't focused on making every animation take 2 seconds a frame so dipshits can jerk off that it "has weight" or some meaningless shit. NRS doesn't make action movie games, because shit like The Raid is still fast and to compare them to NRS games is an insult to those movies.
Virtua Fighter is boring as shit, awful sounds, no sense of impact for attacks, boring characters, jesus
Henry Walker
I don't think i've seen a worst color combination for a "man" as the guy in the middle of the couch. It's like he is a faggot and MUST broadcast it to the world 24/7
Austin Smith
Virtua Fighter looks awful compared to fights from The Raid
Caleb Nelson
Realistic characters are better than stupid looking shit like this
