oh i was just about to start a thread like that, saying the gameplay should be faster. Because MK is at a slower pace than previous ones, the combos were easy to master. For example, if people were running at you, the combos would be very hard to perform and the game very hard to dominate like past games.

Uh, do you mean dashing? Becuase that has been around forever. It just goes to show how lame DA is; not even implementing a feature that has been in almost every fighting game for the past 10 or 12 years. TF did nothing to breath any real, new life into the "theory" and play mechanics of dashing. I'm not hating, it simply didn't.

When DA first came out I thought that the movement blew ass. I still kinda think it does, but not as much as I used to. The SS cancel gets many characters around very efficently. Same with back dashes. Also, certain characters, in certain stances, can cancel standard advancing - forward - walk movement. For insatnce, shang in crane. Certain special moves can be canceled to perfom rush down, too. If you can even call it a cancel, which I really shoudlnt'.

A comobonation of things hampered the zoning, rush down, and movement aspects of DA. Mainly the lack of dashing, teleporting, and air attacks. The lateral and negative - backward - movement isn't bad at all, really. It's just difficult to rush down.

Then agian, how would a strong dashing game affect DA as it stands right now? Well, lets see; you bust in, dial-an-auto-combo crap, chip some health on block, BD cancel, SS cancel, bust in, dial-an-auto-combo crap, chip some health on block, repeat. Maybe throw in some low pokes. Well, it could work, I guess...if a person likes boring ass matches. DA is a pokers game enough as it is now.

Anywho, it's all MO, this post is to long. I'll leave now. Peace and love ya'll.

i know the forward dashing has been in other fighting games before tao feng, but they could have had it in MKDA, it would've added more fun.
