    As an avid fighting game player, I think Street Fighter 6 raised the bar so high for the genre it's pretty much an uphill battle for any upcoming AAA fighting games. MK1 excels in a lot of things, but it has a handful of lows in quality-of-life features that just snowball into being annoying at times.
    IMO, the lack of a lite-tutorial in story mode every time a new character is introduced is a bit baffling. Other genres have been doing it for nearly decades, like how CoD campaigns also serve as tutorials for the multiplayer mode. The tutorial mode outside of story mode itself from my experience is really good, but everyone knows that the majority of the playerbase isn't touching that mode, or even care that it exists. It's why Street Fighter 6 and the upcoming Tekken 8 have made modes to organically teach players how to play the game outside of the tutorial mode with modes like World Tour and Arcade Quest.
    As for online, I haven't experienced much problems, but it's very much MK11's netcode, for better and for worse. It doesn't happen often, but audio can desync for an entire match, which is quite jarring. The netcode is very much functional, but is just not top of the line anymore like it was when MK11 was released. Also there's an annoying bug for private room matches that straight up makes them unusable most of the time. Gameplay itself is great, other than Kameos eating certain inputs for select characters, it's very much a fun system to play around with.
    I would honestly give it an 8/10 for its current state at release. Some QoL things really need to be ironed out or patched. For example, there is currently no way to pick your characters' costumes and colors from the character select screen. You have to exit back to main menu and choose your costumes and colors in the Kustomize menu. It's a small thing, but it's a baffling design choice nonetheless that's just annoying.

    Deception Konquest was the best idea they ever had. The little secrets with being at spots at different times, the characters you would find and challenge. The progression of leaving the village and shujinko's age. Onaga as the last boss. Fuck I loved that game. Idk if they'll ever have the passion/opportunity to be that ambitious again. Micro transactions killed gaming, art doesn't profit. Creativity not rewarded. Maybe one day it will come back

  • @Cameraman9369
    @Cameraman9369 10 місяців тому +2

    They won't tell you the truth. If you have a Johnny or Omi man, you're untouchable online. Certain characters can't keep up with others because all their moves are safe on block like a Johnny Cage to the point that's all people pick online. There are no overhead combos for most characters. If they low block, all you can do is grab, which most people do 30% of the time because there's no time to punish with nothing but a grab. Seriously, if you pick a character like Reptile, against a Johnny cage you're cooked because all Johnny have to do is low block and attack you soon after block while Reptile is still recovering from his hit on block. Mk11 and MkX, the characters felt balanced, like if you're good, it shows. On MK1 it's more tight conservative game play, running away, overuse of kameos and same characters. From a real MK player, it feels like the combat is watered down to me. There's no back and forth with the fighting like they want everyone doing the same lame approach to fighting.

    I actually started playing the game yesterday. It is very similar to the previous game but with a lot of changes to the storyline. The only negatives I have is the kampaign story mode audio quality. For some reason the cutscene audio sounds very low quality, but the minute it switches to the gameplay, then audio quality increases drastically. But other than that, MK1 is amazing!

    what i like about the kameo system is that it adds so much variety to each round. it feels and looks cool to start your combo, cancel, use a kameo, and then continue it for some people ive seen to do 53% damage. Its not just an easy button, either, it requires a lot of technical skill to know when to fire it off and to hit the right buttons in your sequence. Ive been addicted since pre-release, and the training segments are really thorough

It's difficult, but satisfying. The graphics are gorgeous and it's just fun to play. I do have some stuttering issues in cutscenes on PC, but I believe they are aware and working to fix that.
