The hate is pretty much expected anyway. The only characters I ever see anymore are Dante, Deadpool, Akuma, Sentinel, Magneto and Wolverine. There are some outliers like Haggar, Hulk, Ryu and Zero that make appearances, but a large percentage of play revolves around these characters.
A pissed off reaction should be expected when it comes to a competitive game like this one and it only gets worse when there is little variety. People like to feel superior and I guess it gets on their nerves when they fight people who pick the obvious and popular characters all the time. It's part of the reason why most people are not interested in anymore X-men or even Akuma for that matter.

I got accused of using simple mode by one guy in a rage mail.I also got run of the mil, "God you suck at this game." "You're a fucking faggot loser nerd."
The simple mode one offended me because that fight I was doing sick long combos and DHC's from OTGs. Just a monster shit fest against him.

I've yet to get hate mail which surprises me because I use Ammy

I thought it was to meet their quarter sales to look better since I'm guessing the rest of it was lack luster?
Really though, if MK comes out and out sells/outreviews MvC3 Capcom should slap themselves. They tried to rush to beat competition/look good on paper to their investors, and instead get pooped on by Ed Boon and his gang.
I really doubt it'll happen, because MK has sort of just become a novelty series at this point. The new one DOES look promising, but the online component would have to be top notch and the core fighting as deep as a SF game in order to win out in the competitive/casual scene.
I'm still not even sold on MK. I'll wait till it's been out for a week and people on Gaf throw out their thoughts on the online and I'll use the demo coming up to test core fighting before taking the plunge.
Is that the only game they wanted to beat out? Any word if KoF 13 was going to get a console release now that SNKP shut down?

As 2D sprites. The actual netcode performance is also leagues better.
Oh, and a story mode that took around 20 hours...and CS has an actual in depth tutorial. Both games are much more fully featured than anything capcom has been doing.

Regardless of what people on gaming message boards say about the series, MK sells. MK vs DC sold like 2.5mil which is more than what both SF4 and SSF4 have sold combined, IIRC. It's not a perfectly fair comparison because MK vs DC came out like...a year or so earlier than SF4, but still.
And that game was relatively low budget. MK9 looks like it probably has the biggest budget of any MK game ever. So I don't know if Capcom rushed MvC3 out early to avoid a conflict with MK or not, but it's reasonable to assume it might've been part of the reason.
zlatko said:
One thing you have to realize is that MK9 most likely will be reviewed better regardless if it's even a better game. I have a very strong feeling that people are going to praise it since the game caters to a larger audience by having more content than just fighting. Plus it's a return to form and I think that already will give people a more positive look on the game.
Even MK vs DCU, a game that was not well received, got high scores from some publications. Fan favorite sites like Giant Bomb gave it a perfect score (5/5). Unlike MvC3 which got a 4/5. I can guarantee that MK9 will get tons of seemingly blind praise even if it's not that good of a fighting game.
When I saw the live demo for MK9 at E3, people were ooooooh-ing and aaaaaaah-ing for nearly everything shown. It was impressive, yes, but NetherRealm clearly had control over everyone in the audience almost instantly. I felt at that moment that people were going to love the new Mortal Kombat without even playing it.

This blows my mind, because it's true. I just can't stand that it still looks like every character's got a broom shoved up their ass while animated.

This is pretty crazy. I never knew the MK brand was so powerful here in the US. I used to play the older ones. The new ones never really caught my eye.Lost Fragment said:

This was a big turn off for me as well. I never thought much of it when I was younger, but it got on my nerves as I got older.Gr1mLock said:

Yes, MK animations are a bit too retro for my taste.
Come on, don't pretend hate mail isn't fun sometimes

I think MK proves that the mentality of an average game is that "FATALITIES R AWESUM!!11" regardless on how clunky everything else may look. MKvDCU probably got most of it's sales because people assumed you could rip Superman's head off or cause Batman to explode.
Most MK fans I know aren't really a part of the "real community" though. They mostly buy it for the fatalities and sell it or let it collect dust afterwards. The franchise gets the sales but rarely keeps the longevity(MK2 and UMK3) but with MK9 being a key game at Evo2k11, this could change if there's a great show and enough hype from the players.

You don't remember the 90s?
DryEyeRelief said:
I was so high then. Haha j/k.
90's were the 90's. Yeah MK was the bomb then, but I really thought the brand and the series had gone totally down hill the further along videogames got. Which had to be true to some extent if Midway shut down and Ed's team had to get bought up by Warner right?
I'm less skeptical now that this new MK will do well that's for sure. I'll be keeping a closer eye on it now like I said. Back in the day in the 90's when I was a little one, my very first game I bought when I got the Genesis was MK1.

zlatko said:This is the only game I constantly get hate mail from when I win. The online players are SUPER salty.
The only times I get upset is when a person will spend the last 30 seconds doing nothing but flying around to avoid me. They won't even try to attack or even punish...just fly and burn that time. Still I don't rage, I just /sigh and search for a new game.
I've been running Zero, Sent, Dpool/ Dante, Sent, Dpool/ Taskmaster, Sent, Doom as my teams, and anytime my first character touches them at the start of fights I'll go to town and deal a lot of damage or else kill their point character. I guess that scares them to the point of not even bothering to fight anymore if they can secure a life lead.
Well sent is the recurring problem
. The issue with sent is yes he is beatable but frankly you need to level up pretty hard to be able to have an easy time with even scrubs. So I can see why most players are avoiding the fight once they get a life lead... sent is just cheapness incarnated lol .DarkoMaledictus

Yes a whole lot... been 2 weeks and only now I've started winning consistently. Had my first perfect today with my anti sent team : Wolverine, Akuma, Zero. Team Reset that Rush
. And I still have a tonne to learn, timing in this game is everything and learning when and how to use assist is going to take time!DarkoMaledictus said:Well sent is the recurring problem
If I only had Sent left with X-factor I'd run too. I'm talking about they killed my Sentinel early on or my Deadpool, managed to squeeze out just a sizable chunk of a life lead, and burn 30+ seconds on the clock flying around avoiding me and my Zero.
It's a fine and fair way to approach a fight I think if their last character is Sentinel or Phoenix and you want to run clock since the fear of them got to you. However, when I still have two characters, and you have two characters, then you piss the rest of the fight not even trying to approach me... I get a little huffy about it. It's a fighting game isn't it? At least have the nerve to fight me... too often when I try to get them on their way down from flight, or try to get up there with a super jump/fly myself I just get blown up or pushed blocked back.
Anyone found a good way to counter someone who does this? I think it was Storm players earlier that were blowing me up by flying off and avoiding the fight altogether.

zlatko said:
Yeah that's different altogether... yeah seen this with a phoenix player. Kept flying at the top corner all the time. Only solution I would see is get a char who can fly or Spencer who can grab then off the air.
Its an extremely lame boring tactic and unless you have meter for a full screen super while they fly or have a flying char your pretty much stuck at trying to get them when they land...
With zero though, you should be able to use the electricity trail to get them goes very high and you can command dash to get higher.
DarkoMaledictus said:
I forget, but can you block in the air if you are flying? I should test if H version of air electricity reaches them. I know that the QCB + H or M just leaves me open to getting exposed. When someone plays keep away in this game, and they are decent at it, it can be really tough to catch them with some characters. I'll just have to figure out what I can do with what I have left at the time. I always try to stock up a meter or two at the start of a fight if I see a storm on someones team before game starts now for doing hard drives with Sentinel in case they try to get too air happy. Deadpool can also do a solid job if you properly space him for his QCF +H or do it in the air to shoot someone. Usually landing that a few times will get them to come back down, or at least scare them that they might get hit.

Jeff Gerstmann is a pretty big MK fan. That's still no excuse, really. Even MK fanboys know the problems with MK vs DC. I put a lot of hours into that game too. >_> Even have the platinum trophy lol. I only bought it because I was ultra hype for anything fighting related. Didn't matter if it wasn't good lol.
Pretty comfortable with my mainstay teams, just need some suggestions on another formula.
Zero (projectile)/Ammy (cold star)/Dante (jam)
Zero (dp)/Ammy (cold star)/ Doom (beam or missiles)
The first teams's mobility seems limited to mid range due to lack of beam assist whereas the latter can work at any range. First team is also a bit squishier.

If one wants to study the social phenom of scaling expectations, then look no further than a gaming community.
It sounds selfish, but part of me is glad online is working out the way it is. I miss the days when wanting to play a fighting game you loved meant community building in your local area, not sending mass XBL friend requests.
Yes, I'm old and bitter. Get off my lawn, etc.

Kind of a poor excuse imo. There's no good reason to phone in online implementation in multiplayer-dependent games in this day and age.Kimosabae said:
Though to be frank, I'm a little disappointed that GAF is so much more outraged about no spectator/replay/whatever than not having acceptable netcode in the first place.
