No dude. Breakers would still be a neccessity. When I said being able to parry mid combo, I meant that you block the initial hit and then parry afterward.
For example, I am Smoke and you are Sub-Zero
You do dragon 1,2,u+4
I block the 1,2 and right when you're about to do u+4 I let go of block and parry.
That is what I am talking about.
Breakers will still be a neccessity for when you don't block the intial hit: you will need a way to get out of the combo just like you did in MKD.

Huh?!

That proves what, exactly?

Yeah, I personaly think we are looking into this parry situation waaaay to much, lol. People are treating it like it's going to be the saviour of MK, at least that's the vibe I'm picking up. Some of you should know better, haha.
It may be all we have left to cling to.lol

haha! The fucking truth.
I'd like to know how many of you will still wait for another MK after this turd is dropped on the MK community?

Wow....
Okie, think about it every1, if this is the last game you're going to make for a console, and you want everyone to follow you on to the next gen, then you're going to have to make a good impression, even if it isn't much. There will be improvements. There wont be any sort of perfection, nor any closeness to perfection until MK is on the next generation of consoles.
Who knows, maybe the parry system will be a big thing. Maybe it'll be horrible. Either way, the MK Team added something to gameplay to once again try to improve upon it. I'm just going to wait this out and watch w.e is posted by IGN and such.

I'll come back to see how the new super-duper next-gen game is, but just the one unless it begins to show signs that it can compete with other games of the genre.

While I agree with a lot of your points (quite valid, I might add) and that you are definitely entitled to your opinion, (I'm sure this has been said before and I'll say it again) it all boils down to this:
If you don't want the game or think it sucks, don't waste your $50-55 on it.
But seriously though, even after the failure of DA and the ever-so-slightly better Deception (I say this because of the characters; the engine was equally crappy) I still have some faith in the MK team to make this a better game. It isn't that I believe this will be a great game, but I do think it will be much improved.

Hahaha, woot, good to see you around, Col.
Ok, now before I go to bed lets take a moment and look at a few issues.
It isn't out yet, how can you talk bad about it, blah blah blah.......
It's called "track record." MKDA was BROKE. Not oppinion, FACT. MKD was REALLY BROKE. Not oppinion, FACT.
The difference between an "oppinion" and a "fact" is quantafiable; IE, a fact can be measured. You can be cute with your little "you know what they say when you ass-u-me" but, the FACTS of the track record stand. The continuation of the same, core, mechanics that make up those facts has stayed the same; from MKDA to MKA. Actually, from MK1 to MKA, lol; but, we didn't know any better until about MK2/MK3.
Honor this, honor that; and respectible players yadda yadda....
There is no such thing as "honor." We are talking about a fighting game, not fuedal japan with samurai. Now, people can point to Sun Tzu's, The Art of War and Sirlins work - both of which everyone should read, especially art of war. I prefer this quote:
"Fighting never good, but if must fight, WIN." Mr. Miyagi.
The point of fighting, the point of conflict is to WIN, to come out on top, to survive. Yes, you can have fun doing so - kinda like how MMA guys smile when they get rocked in the jaw and give the dude who hit them a thumbs up; I mean seriously, WTF, lol. Anyway, you play to win. Or, at least, you sure as hell don't play to lose.
You can't be pissed at a kid who abusses the flaws of a game. It's the old adage, "don't hate the player, hate the game." It's the designers responsibility to ensure such crap is not there in the first place. It's their job to take out the exploitable content such as infinates, pure 50/50's, glitches, etc. They are paid to see that those do NOT make it in.
Besides, please define for me the word cheap. You can't, it's an arbitrary word used to disassociate one self from responsiblity. It's not that you need to get better, it's that the other person was "cheap." Now, if such cheapness is deamed as FACT - IE, is quantafiably measurable - then it is broke and needs to be fixed, by the designers. It's their fualt, not the kid abusing it. The kid is only trying to get the win. You see, it's full circle.
Look, MKA is turning out to be just another MK based on the tried and flawed MKDA/MKD mechanics. Mechanically, gameplay wise, it's going to blow. Fun? Hopefully. Functionally adequate...yeah, right. Same mechanics, same issues. Parries dont mean shit, don't kid yourselves. Air combos eleiminating infinates? What the hell? Uh, NO. Just more stuff for problems to make a home with.
MK needs to be rebuilt from the ground up, period. Kinesthetics don't give players any read on moves. I STILL don't see a proper dash, which is ghey, seriously. That's like a sprinter lining up with out their blocks.
In the end, MKA is going to come out, its going to have TONS of issues gameplay wise. The haters will have been right, just as they were with MDA and MKD. Then the cycle will start all over again and end ONLY when Midway proves otherwise.

He is talking to the maker of this thread, and I must say a few things. What you are saying is that Mortal KOmbat is all-in-all a weak fighting game. That must be why this forum has so many members and fans and why Mortal Kombat is so popular. You can keep complaining, but even if they did fix all the little bugs that you take the time to find, you would still find something else to complain about. So APPARENTLY you made yourself clear the first post, and everyone haerd you: if you don't want to give this game that you have never a chance, don't spend your money on it. That's it, quit complaining.
-I'm done.

These forum has so many members because:
1. There are people like me who care for the FIGHTING part in a FIGHTING GAME, that used to grow on MK2 and UMK3 and want MK to be at the level of other fighting games.
2. There are so many 10 year old scrubs who like to spam these boards with posts about Rain and Puzzle Kombat.
