First and formost, run should have been slower. Everyone's normal run is as fast as Reptile's run dash in UMK3.

Combo variety, not everyone should have a launcher. Giving everyone the same combos might balance them but only as far as their special moves go. Characters with power special moves shouldn't have launcher combos or things like air throws. ie: Human Smoke in UMK3.

Combo damage, with giving people different combos, it would give them different damage. They had endless combos at their finger tips and they decided to go with what, 6 different close range attacks total?

Side stepping was a neat idea, but it was only good for projectiles. More often than not if you went to side step an attack, you'd still get hit.

Make the projectiles actually look different. It's bad enough the light effect for projectiles was terrible, but the fact that so many characters do the same lazy one handed point and squat. I was most disappointed because Raiden did that.

Their are two different styles of normals split up amongst over 20 characters in MKG. So many characters with the same exact attributes, ranges, speeds, priorities, even though there were different character sizes. It didn't make sense.

On a side note, I thought the sound effects were pretty lame in MK4 as well. There was a few cool noises here and there, but it made the game into even more of a joke than the gameplay.

In essence, I would like it if they made it more like UMK3 lol.

MK2KungBroken...OMG...You always speak the truth. *sheds a tear*. .

Thanks for that awesome reply. You know, with your incredible knowledge of MK mistakes, you should really join Midway.

(Btw, thanks so fucking much again for the help...points at sig).

No problem, I try.

Matt

Well give Noob Saibot and Goro endings... I mean in MKG they made five new endings... why would two more of been that difficult? It could of shed a little light on Noob Saibot's involve besides the little tidbit in a tips and tricks guide I bought back in the day.... later..

The one thing I hated about MK4 was that everybody had the same 3D layout. They all looked the same when they did an uppercut or sweep. Same with everything else.

They also could have taken out the "seizures" the characters had when they had a win pose. The twitches looked so ugly.

Combos should have had more depth. As Matt said, almost all the combos had same damage and everybody had the same combos. Everybody needed different combos like UMK3.

Everything else I thought was good. I really like MK4, but if the things I said were fixed, it would be my favorite MK.

Looking at your SF sig reminds me of the weird PC speaker voice they had when they told you the beaten quote. It was more disturbing than the puppety/marianette wobbling the characters would do in the MK4 win poses. SF Quote Clip

Eew, that's bad. lol

hahahahahahah nice matt

SF's voices where horrible... no wait, the whole game was horrible.

This is what i think MK should of done 95-97. First of all when mk3 hit arcades things where great but the problem i had was they should of never made any mk movies yes i know some people liked them the first one was ok but it should of never been made any movies. What it did was commericalized the hell out of mk and took it to sort of a underground thing at the arcades into a mainstream thing to much is to much.So no mk movie at all.Second after mk3 hit home consoles it was fine everything was great no problem.Then umk came along PROBLEM the thing is they kept milking mk3 thats all that game was. Umk3 had extra fighters and extra backgrounds never should of been made. The arcade scene when that came out started to die down it should of never been made.3rd they should of never EVER came out with spiecal forces or subzero mythology those where 2 bad blows big blows for the mk series.Now on to mk4 it shouldnt of been in 3-d peroid it could of stayed in 2-d and added new fighters new backgrounds new everything think of what it could be like.The point im trying to make is boon put out to many mk stuff at once one after another then people got really sick of it and got intrested in other games.MK never ever should of been milked so much product wise movies,extra games,action figures,cartoon show,tv series show.Now mk is started to make a come back sort of hopefully it gets hot again hotter then gta.Those where my thoughts on which i wish they should of done or maybe could of done.

the question is how would you improve mk4/gold not whats your opinion about the amount of released mk stuff........

mk4: i would have gave everyone their own combos..and a greater varaiety

mkg: i would improve it by going back in time and stopping it from being made. the glitchiest mk game ever. the only thing good about mkg is the graphics. the overall game speed felt slightly different from mk4 and the arenas are way too small. the camera gets annoying..especially when using kung lao. its funny, looking at the loading screen and hear someone scream for no reason..or hear fatality in the middle of a fight. sektor himself is a outright glitch. just playing with him on certain levels causes bugs. and they didnt fix the mk3 missle/fatality bug.

i have both versions of mkg..and i dont care for them.
imo, mkg goes right beside mka (the movie), mk advanced, and special forces.

mk golds fatalities........ baraka???? kung lao???

1. New fatalities.
2. No copy characters (Shinnok, Jarek).
3. All playable characters have endings.
4. Different winning/throwing/attacking/limb-breaking poses for all characters.
5. No uselessly complicated manouevres for attacks/fatalities (remember Jax's Multi-slam?).
6. More attention in what causes the game to glitch-out/crash.
7. Make the characters vary in speed/strength/jumping height/weight.
