This is coming out in a month or so? Seems really poor timing, with MvC3 basically being the most hyped fighter release since...ever? I agree with Jibba, too; MK used to be cool because there was no other game that pushed the envelope like that, and the fatalities were actually original and difficult to pull off. Nowadays, everyone is a pro, and has seen at least 2 of the Saw movies. The fighting element of the game was always stale compared to Capcom and the franchise doesn't really impress me anymore.

Oh wait, what was the question? Will I buy it? Obviously.

I think April is when the BlazBlue CS2 DLC is coming out too. Welcome back to the 2D market!

I've been hyped for this game for the longest time, my roomates have always been big fighting game fans and they got me into it. We bought a NES/SNES combo machine and played MK1 for awhile until we got really, really good at it, after that we bought MK2 and played that game to death. We spent at least a solid week just playing it every chance we had. Raiden, Scorpion, and Liu Kang were our three favourites, I played the Kangster, mostly because we played them in MK1. Soon we branched out to other characters, the team match set up (L+R+Select on the menu screen) and developed a drinking game.

So yeah, we're all pretty jacked for MK9

I have been a fan of the older MK games. I like MK2 the best. The little kid in me is excited to see how cool this game really is.

Yo there have been like 10 threads on MK9 in the past year plus. Your op is kinda weak but whatever.

This game is definitely going to be more tailored towards competitive balance and 'esports' style fighting game. A long time ago Ed Boon or whoever said that he didn't care about all that shit. But now that he sees the successes with FPS Games on both console and PC, RTS games, and fighting games in arcades/consoles he decided to get on the bandwagon. I have to say it looks really really good so far. It feels like the sequel we always wanted after UMK3 Back in the late 90s. Every MK game since then has been garbage imho, I never even cared about them at all.

I really expect this game to make it into EVO and gain a following. And I hope it's good enough to keep returning year after year like older Fighting games.

Only gripe I have with the game, that I've always had with MK games though. The stupid block button. Can you cross up when they are holding block? Or do the have to let go and press it again to block the other way?

Yup, it made it to evo this year. And I think this year is break or make for this game to return to evo next year. I also hate the block button, and yes your right you have to let go and press again to block the other way.

Was never a fan of the series. Something about reusing the same character, slapping a different color and gimmick on him, just isn't that appealing to me.
I used to be just like you, then I took a sweetroll to the knee.

Pure awesomeness, best MK character by far :D. He was introduced from MK3 and on right? Damn those were good days, arcade MK2-3.

Maybe it's just aging or the internet, but I think it's pretty stupid now, especially since those aren't very creative.

MK had a particular time and place in the 90s, and it feels like they're trying to relive that but it's not working for me.


that's how I felt about street fighter 4... I still play sf2t...

I'm pretty sure that MK was the first game I played. Love every one that comes out.
Why would you ever choose failure, when success is an option.

I don't really understand what's entertaining about gratuitous violence for its own sake, and this game certainly brings it to new levels. Alot of it even seems to eerily mix in elements of sex. One of the chick characters stabs a guy and then black widows him and eats his face? Venom puking acid into a chick's mouth? It's as bad as that god damned human centipede movie.

You sir made me lol.

But I guess your right about all you've said...if you want to look at it that way. But it's just a game and I sure hope it will be kickass game.

I read somewhere that they are considering porting it just like streetfighter, but thats not anywhere near a guarantee. We can only hope! I would love to play this on my pc with my 360 controller. I'm not gonna buy an xbox for it.

First of all I have to say I'm not a big fighter game fan. I enjoy playing SF4 at my friend's place with my buddies, but I'm definitely not the type who plays online, knows all the combos and knows how to do "dash-cancel" stuff. The only fighting game I ever bought in my entire life is SoulCalibur4 when I got my PS3, just to have a game I could play with my friends.

A long ago with the same buddies from above we bought SF2HDRemix and MK2 on psn, and we realized how much better SF was compared to MK. All the characters in MK are the same except for the special move and the combat is slow, while SF has so much diversity and the combat is at perfect pace.

With that said, I downloaded the ps3 version of the MK9 demo that just came out and tried it...
oh. my. god.

The game is AMAZING. You can only play as Sub-Zero, Scorpion, Mileena and Jonnhy Cage in the demo, but it's still a LOT of fun. Every character has a unique move set, the controls are perfect and the moves are easy to do. Perhaps SFIV pros will say it is too easy, but for casual people it is perfect imho.

I wouldn't of thought I would of bought it but now I'm seriously considering it !

played the demo as well, love how they have totally gone back to the roots of the original (2d, d-pad simple moves, no stupid fighting style switching)
