Best MK roster & best character designs imo. Personally also loved no variations. The characters felt more complete to me. It was flawed but it was a blast to play regardless. In general I don’t like remasters, but boy would I spend my money in a heartbeat for this. I don’t even need it to be a graphical remake. A remaster with a balancing patch would be perfect already.

@@TheSword2212 I feel you. People always want what they don’t have. As for me. I quit MK after injustice came out. At least that franchise is legacy. Also it has more fleshed out archetypes and beter defensive systems, no forced comeback mecanics, and it allows for more creativity in your combos. The game is geared towards defensive play (zoning etc) but if you’re good enough you’ll make rushdown viable. Mk on the other hand.. it’s not consistent. Mk 9,10,11 play nothing like one another. 9 was broken with not enough updates to balance. Mkx was too mix up heavy, it was basically a guessing game everytime. There was almost no neutral. And mk11 was all neutral and no mixup. For me injustice hits that sweet spot. Mk is just all over the place and has a big identity crisis. The franchise is so geared towards casuals that netherrealm uses it to experiment. Experimenting is nice. But they are alienating their fanbase with every new iteration to the point I can’t take mk serious anymore

I just remember me and my brothers can play MK9 for days and not get tired of it, it was so much fun to play casually and competitively, movement, spacing, footsies, zoning, rushdown, setups, the umk3 roster the classic mk feel, all of it worked really well for me in this game, it's both fun to play and watch, highest level mk9 was so fast watching reo, cdjr, pl, brady, wound, pig, etc etc it was really skillful, samee cannot be said to the current nrs games for me :(

Another thing I wish MK and SF would bring back: variable speed. There's nothing wrong with making attacks seeable and reactable, nor having slow and methodical movement. But why is that all we have? Games like Tekken, KOF, and anime fighters give players all types of movement, and I'm not just talking character archetypes. Being able to change the tempo of your movement and not just your attacks makes fights visually interesting because you get insane moments where, at one moment it's a slow, methodical spacing game, but then BAM P2 makes an incredible read and he's all over P1 in a bulldog rush, or P1 makes a crazy read with perfect timing and gets an instant crush counter after just standing in P2's range, daring him to attack. Now that I think about it, Balrog embodies what I'm talking about with his dash punches. I wish every character had movement options like that, in addition to slow methodical forward and back movement. Like, imagine if Ryu's Tatsu travelled as fast as it does in Marvel or if Chun Li's Hazanshu was able to go over fireballs again. I guess I could always just go back and play older games. But I really do want to like the newer games. They have stuff I enjoy, but more stuff I don't. It sucks. I want to like them as much as my friends so and play them with them, but long sets just feel draining.
