Deception seems to be a little less authentic than DA,.....what happened to straight martial arts?

i havent SEEN the NEW IGN videos, but i feel i dont need to in order to express my opinion on this matter. Deception is sounding like it will incorporate some of the popular 2-D gameplay. Uppercuts, 2-D moves like ice statue, teleport punch, etc...

DONT GET ME WRONG! I welcome this change, but it makes me think that there were problems with DA's fighting engine and to tell the truth, i love it. DA wasw authentic, i mean Sonya's Tae Kwon Do was accurate. But if Tae Kwon Do is in Deception it might have an added UPPERCUT manuveur....guess what, theres no full swinging uppercut in Tae Kwon Do!

This leaves me to think that Deception will have the fighting styles like that of DA, but play much differently...inother words, after playing deception, DA will feel totally slow and weird and authentic.

what are your thoughts?

No The special moves from the past games, have actually incoporated well into the 3D world. They look great and the Game play is faster that that of MKDA, but the genuine fighting styles are still a VERY big part of the fights...Trust me man the specials are just adding some welcomed spice to the mix and IT's fantastic. I've seen the vids and have found absolutely nothing to complain about.

I somewhat agree but I think the best way for Midway to incorporate uppercuts is to make each uppercut for each style unique and different.

So the Tae Kwon Do (sp?) uppercut would look different than the Pi Gua uppercut but the result would be the same.

As for the moves, I'm not sure how the Ice Clone will work in the 3D world. Ice Shaker seemed better,

IMO everything looks amazing, except ONE thing. Now, i know that the gameplay is supposed to be tighter and faster, but it didnt really look like it in the new IGN movies with subzero against nightwolf and scorpion against nightwolf. It pretty much looked the same as in MKDA to me. Maybe there just showing early examples of how everything in the game will be. We WERE told that the gameplay will be faster, so i hope they do do this before MKD comes out. I sure wouldnt feel to good playing it with MKDA's slowness.tongue

But besides that, everything OWN3Z IMO. Scorpions teleport is back, and Ermac has his teleknetic slam back.smile

what about a "run" button or feature. Boon had said at one point that "manuvering your character will be much easier this time around." So i could imagine that if you push left diaginal the character will take a step and a half compared to DA which would take like a small step.

i hope its easier to manuver b/c these background look frickin HUGE, it would be hard to constantly be tapping a directional button over and over to position yourself for a detahtrap or something.
