UHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

You can't parry mid combo. You can only parry the first intitial hit. Once the combo starts, the only hope is using a breaker. Which brings it right back to MKD's engine. Infinites will NOT be stopped. They will continue. The gameplay engine is not different at all.

LOL Boon playtesting characters means nothing. He says the same the crap for every MK. He didn't even know Kitana had air combos in MK2 until after it was out. His idea of playtesting means making sure the fatalities work and nothing more.

dis game is gonna be da shit! all charicters and kreate-a-fighter!

Expect Ed Boon to say, "That's what the parry is for." He said the exact same thing about the infinites, when in fact there were infinites in MKD that could NOT be broken. I'm certain he would've said the exact same thing about throws when faced with complaints about now throw escapes/reversals, while there were throws that could NOT be escaped with a breaker.

How do you know you won't be able to parry mid combo, menthol? I don't see why not.

If parries do work mid combo, this game is going to be EXTREMELY poke oriented. I would love that.

This thread will be closed VERY soon if all these trolls keep popping up.

Holy $#!+you're right!!!This thread is overpopulated with irrevelent posts.
Well,I'm going to be leaving this thread REALLY quickly, BYE!

me too


HIGH FIVES VERS

Since when do graphics=gameplay? The reason some of us are speculating that MKA will be bad gameplay-wise is because it will be using the same core fighting mechanics as MKDA and MKD, which were broken and horribly broken, respectively. So put two and two together and, yeah.
edit: *joins high fives with Dan and Vers at the thought of parries mid-combo*

Did you watch the video? It's the same shit as MKDA's "reversal" system. I don't recall being able to use them mid combo in MKDA. Also the fact they're bringing combo breakers back means that's their solution to stop combos. Not parries.

But we'll see.

Dis GaME wil bee AWESOM!!! Rain his in it and we can kreate fatalities An fighters!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! like OMG I jus hope that Khameleon, Meat, Chameleon, Tremor, tasya, Kia, Jattaka, No-Face, God of Water, God of fire, God of earth and all the big monsters in MKM, MKSF and MKSM wil be in the game an this game will rock so hard, it wil kick the crap outta every other fighting game(I know btw that MK is ALREADY outselling stupid games like Tekken and DOA butt they will kick their ass VEN MORE like LOLOL)

MKA: 60 characters
Virtua Fighters: 15 characters

so MK is 4 times cooler then VF!!!!!!!!!!!! why cant u see that? what is 50/50 btw?

LMAO!!!!! What is 50/50 by the way? That's priceless.

Funniest thin ihave seen on this board since I joined. Nice.

^ Cool sig.


Menthol, the animation for the parry is not the same as the animation for the the reversal in MKDA, but it is the same shit.

LOL! WOW! I just realize that! Ed Boon just put the exact same thing from MKDA in, gave it to ALL the characters(rather than just a select few) and renamed it to a parry rather than reversal. The reversals in MKDA weren't reversals anyway. They were parries. Reversals are automatic, but with parries you can follow up with whatever you want.

Anyway, I haven't seen anything in the video that would have me believe that you cannot parry mid combo. Mid combo parrying would be fucking SICKNESS. Would add more skill to the game, too.

Sub-Zero vs Bo Rai Cho

Sub blocks the first hit of f+3 and parries the second hit into kori b+2,cs,1,2,12,4,cs,2,cs = Bo loses.

FUCKING AWESOME!

Ed Boon, you better allow me to parry mid combo rather than first hit only.

^Exactly what I was thinking.

^Gohan was only cool when he fought cell in SSJ2 form :)

If there is one character who is REALLY going to hurt from the parry system is Sindel. Sindel is the most poke oriented character in MKD(along with Sub-Zero). She wins her matches through spacing,defense and pokes. She's not power oriented. In theory, the parry will hurt her poking game pretty badly.

I predict Sindel will be low tier :(

Good thing I'm dropping her for MKA.

Future Gohan was the shit too. Who else would go heads up against the Androids with ONE ARM? He was hardcore.

Okay, back ot. MKA's gameplay looks horrible. Discuss.

Menthol makes a good point - why would they keep the breakers AND add parries if combos could be parried mid-combo? Because if they did that then everybody would just parry their way out of combos instead of using breakers and breakers would just be completely pointless. The logic of this kind of lends itself to the theory that combo's WON'T be able to be parried mid way though, which is why we still have breakers, and that's really fucking disappointing. I really, really hope combos can be parried though, I guess we won't know until somebody plays the game. Here's hoping. But I could see Boon including both the parry and the breaker anyway, even if one of them is rendered useless by the other. Just because he does things like that.

I'm trying to think back to MKDA to remember if throws could be "reversed" or not, I can't remember because I didn't really play often with characters who a reversal. If they can in in MKA, that could at least be slightly helpful if there are infintes involving multiple throws and such.

ar u talking chinese?

so wat do u think about my idea of bringing back Meat and Chameleon as a team and bee da new champion of the elder god?

I dun knoww i ratha hav SCORPIAN cook dem and eat dem wif hiz fire bref lolz

GET OVA HAIRRR

Stop! Stryker Time!

i have a feeling that isnt RasAlGhul. im thinking its some one using his user name. RasAlGhul actually knows his stuff..


unless RasAlGhul your being extreamly sarcatsic in threads???

I found this user preview at another site. After reading, I changed my mind. This WILL be the greatest fighting game of all time.

TEKKEN SUCKS
Dude what the hell is this crap how can ppl like it the yoshimitsu dude stabs you and you don't bleed or anything and it's usually whoever knows more combos wins. Mortal Kombat kicks this games ass in that game it takes skill not combos you got to know how to use each fighting style and your weapon and in mortal kombat you get to do fatalities like subzero's head rip or skeleton rip or reptile's body snack and my personal favorite Johnny Cage's brain ripper it's hilarious to watch. Don't buy tekken it's a load of crap. If you want to buy a real fighting game wait for Mortal Kombat Armagedon that's goin to have 60+ characters and an adventure mode like Shaolin monks.

I apologize MKO members. My eyes have been opened. Forgive me.

wtf? so you think MKA will be good or bad? I seriously can't tell

Somehow, I kinda agree with your original opinion, only because of the gameplay flaws. Despite all the features it'll have that seem exciting, I think the fighting engine, itself, is still one thing that I don't think can be overlooked. In my opinion, its engine has to be able to stand up and compete with the fighting engines of Tekken, VF, Soul Calibur, etc. for it to have a shot at being considered the greatest fighting game ever.

See, now this is where being a cheap bastard, someone with no concern for a social life or a deep concern for one is at an advantage.

If you only ever play the computer, you never have to worry about this sort of thing.
