Stop saying so much fail. MKA sucked ass hard, we need a new fighting engine.

I wouldn't mind. MKA is fun.

Problem is, Armageddon sucked. So, it will LOSE.

Go back to a 2D fighter

The only thing I liked about the MKA fighting engine was the air kombat.

I loved bouncing opponents off the ground.

Boiiiiiinnnng!

People are hostile towards MK:A for stupid reasons. Like any other game it of course has flaws...the franchise is still evolving give it a break. I personally think MK:A was going in the right direction...people liked and disliked it for different reasons. This game like many other games in the world need to start adding options to turn features on and off. MK:A is nowhere near being a flop like Special Forces was...people just have a hard time swallowing changes but they will get over it. If MK9 were to take a lot of game play feats from MK:A I won't mind.

Yeah okay, my reason for disliking the game is a stupid one. Yeah, okay sure, like you know my reason.

I did not say your ideas in particular. I said people...as in generally speaking. I am sure I have read a few reasons of yours in really old threads on here long time ago but I honestly don't remember so if you would like to refresh me please do so. Icebaby you should understand my way of saying things by now...I have been posting quite a lot lately and ones personality sticks out in writing if you read it right. I do not mean to sound offensive and if I do I'm sorry but I tend to exadgurate and say things like that generally...its not aimed at anyone specifically. I myself did not like things about MK:A like the lackluster attempt at the character creation system which I thought was also the best new addition of the game and the Motor Kombat ooohhhh don't get me started on that junk lol...but yeah,even I have dislikes but I am nowhere near as hostile as others get. I like the new sig by the way...your other one was ok but a bit odd lol.

i don't understand what suck so bad about mka i made my comment on the gameplay of armageddon. i've played all of the mk's online and 2 me mka was the best online mk that they made. we all know all games have problems with them but mka had the lease problem with it there wasn't no infinites the player was equal. i'm not saying make a roboot of mka i'm just saying take some of the gameplay mechanic from it speed up the pace like the pace was in mk3. i just think that would b a good start gameplay wise. mkda , mkd, mk vs dc u must say they all had know infinites that mess the games up 2 me but armageddon didn't that's y i said that.

If they use MKDC's engine, they need to make it faster. MUCH faster.

I hate the slow and sloppy combo system it had. The wake-ups are slow too. It's just not a fast-paced action game.

MKA was very fast-paced. At least it had that.

I think MK9 should not only be faster, but come with creative melee combos, not the generic kicks and punches of MKDC. That was so boring.

The fighters should do cool flips and turns and very graceful, eye-candy maneuvers. The MK team should do a professional job with the combos this time. Nothing generic and amateur-looking, please.

Fighting styles might guarantee creative moves, but their not necessary for that.

Sure there wasn't infinites but there was other problems. Like how you could breaker anytime without consequence. I also can't understand how you can say the fighters were balanced. There were so many fighters that it was nearly impossible to make it balanced, Not to mention you could create your own character and give him/her as many cheap moves as you wanted. MK vs DC was way better online, and I hope Mk doesn't go back to its MKA roots, it should go back to its 2D roots.

The best thing they could do for the game engine is to just blatantly copy Tekken. Because that's a thing that's actually good.

I have yet to play Tekken 6 and can not say I would or would not like the idea but since when has the MK series copied any other game engine? Maybe they have used the ideas of some mechanics but not the engine. If you want that kind of game than just keep playing Tekken and let MK be what it is. its one thing to crossover games or have guest appearances but ripping off other games is lame and pathetic.

tekken 6 is just terrible how can u say that is what mk need. i know 4 sure if they use tekken engine i'm done with the mk series 4 life. i brought tekken6 and took it back the next day an got $20 4 a game i just paid $65 for. that's how terrible tekken is 2 me tekken isn't no where near mk gameplay if u ask me. so stop that

Let's elaborate here, since you both missed my point. I like both series, but for different reasons. Tekken is a sublime fighting game, but it's backstory, characters, and general tone don't do much for me. Mortal Kombat has characters I'm already invested in (and have been for almost fifteen years now) and has this wonderful world and vibe that's part Shaw Brothers and part Chaos Comics, but the fighting game has been awful for years. What's the harm of taking a great fighting game and mixing it with a great premise?

Explain yourself.

i have played all the other tekken games and found them kind of cheesy. tekken 6 from what videos and all i seen just looks pretty...i bet the gameplay is no different than past tekken games. from what i hear of the online play the game is just mediocre. i think tekken 6 was made for die hard tekken fans and not for gamers. theres nothing wrong with that really but im just not a die hard tekken fan. so to elaborate for you...in my opinion tekken is not a great fighting game...its as i said mediocre (average) but your also talking to someone who thinks street fighter 4 was a disappointment aswell. if mortal kombat was to copy any game i think it should take some pages out of killer instincts book.

Armageddon had the worst gameplay out of all the games.

The gameplay was horrible unresponsive and just seemed so unfinished.

I think the new MK should have a Tekken style of gameplay.
It has a lot of depth, it is very fulid and responsive and it stays true to each character's fighting style.
