Um...that doesn't really make sense though

If two meet...shouldn't they both be cancelled out?

Sounds like a DragonBall Z type tatic. Nuthing wrong or right if a change like that happened. Never thought about that. : ^ /

Ahh, beat me to it.

Yeah, I don't think that you should have a mini-game with projectiles. I mean plus, I've never been in a fight against someone throwing out their projectiles the same time that I do.

yes thats what im talking about dragon ball z , beam struggle lol , except mortalkombat has projectiles so yeah..

But there is nothing pushing projectiles;

At least when you have the beams, there is a continuous stream so to say.

What are you going to do when Sub Zero shoots an Ice Ball and Scorpion shoots his spear?

Or a fire ball and Quan Chi's Skulls?

Kung Lao's hat and Sektor's missles?

It just wouldn't work.

true i guess that would only work with beams, but then the two projectiles should at least cancel out instead of just passing by each other, its so annoying when i play with scorpion and when i face subzero. When i shoot my spear and when he shoots his ice ball. I get frozen while subzero just falls to the ground then gets back up quick. Well what really doesnt make sense is that if subzeros freeze ball freezes anything it touches then how come scorpions spear does not freeze? For sektors missile and kuglaos hat, sektors missile should explode as soon as it has contact with the hat, then obviously his hat would appear back on his head right after.

What she said. I could only see two ways of implementing something regarding clashing projectiles. Either they would pre-program outcomes for when certain projectiles meet another (Maybe one smashes through the other and hits the opponent, based on what might logically happen), or a rock-paper-scissors style chance as to which projectile wins and passes through to damage the opponent.

I think that projectiles clashing could happen like this:

1. For the purpose of balancing out characters, maybe some characters have more powerful projectiles than others. Let's say that Rayden's lightning destroys Liu Kang's fireball and goes through it, but Kang's fireball destroys and goes through Sonya's rings.

It might add a little depth in terms of knowing the characters attributes etc.

2. More logically, I like what Killer Instinct did back in the day. When two projectiles struck one another, they disappeared in a shower of sparks came out.

Simple, yet pretty, and it solves the problem.
