Alright Let's say they actually implement back to block...

What is the next desire? having six button controls with 3 varying upon strengths of punches/kicks?

Let's not stop there! Do you also want their attack properties to vary upon which button is pressed via faster projectiles? and stronger hits?

Also. Would you like it if you have to crouch to sweep?

Would you're desires be fulfilled if all attacks, including MK's iconic uppercut, hits the opponent, however they still stand on their feet? Oh yeah! so you can cancel it into a special move! silly me...

Would you also be in favor of having the characters shout out their attacks?

Would you sleep better at night knowing that your favorite MK character can speak in a language, that is favored by the entire hardcore fighting game community, known as japanese? or their native tongue like every other autistic person on the gamefaqs message board want's to have applied towards every friggin game on the market.


& finally, would you like for the blood to be removed, having no finishers at all?

this is applied towards those who want every fighting game to be like street fighter so they can complain about it later.

I had some trouble with the quotes, but my points should all follow in order.

The problem with that type of dash cancelling is that you're still stuck in block animation the moment there's a projectile in range. Even beyond projectiles, games that utilize back-to-block have designated ranges which will make characters go into a block state once the opponent's attacks are active. Only dash-blocking gives you full control of both your mobility and defense. That goes a long way in a zoning match.

As for the stuffing cross-ups with D+jab, that only works because cross-ups operate on a set arc in MK. To get the ambiguous cross-ups people are asking for, you have to remove that feature. Otherwise, my down jab isn't going to do shit if your air medium kick isn't landing on my hitbox properly. Hence why it doesn't work in Injustice (anti-airing in general isn't that great in Injustice).

As for why MK9 had those features, my best guess was rushed patches and insufficient communication between developers. It's possible they were due to incompetence, but if that's the case, why is Injustice such a well-made game?
