The issue we have is whether mkd deserves fighter of the year... And the issue most of u have is with the engine... Since most of you all will willingly admit that doa is a masher, and takes little skill, and since doau is like the only other game you guys put in contention, is thast not a bit of a self-contradiction???` slamming mkd's engine and yet choosing doau when doau is a masher...
which brings me to what some guy said about mkd's stances. As in every fighting game, some stances are obviously more powerful than others... The same applies to why akuma is more powerful than dan... get over it. NO fighting game has characters that are exactly equal.. Then he says weapon systems are incredibly broken, which is easy to understand seeing that there is increased damage and range.. Of course, there is this little drawback of slower recovery and increased received damage. If the genius who claimed that weapon stances are broken can prove his claim, then maybe mkd does not deserve to win, both of which will not happen...
Which brings us to tekken. U see, the drawback of any game with innovative combos is that mashing WORKS.. period. it does not matter if skill is needed to execute combos, cos if a person presses enough buttons in the required time frame, then something is going to happen... Eddy is maybe more of a masher friendly fighter, but even fighteres like hwaorang are prone to mashing.
Which brings us to the fun factor... What are computor or console games for?? Fun.. corrrect... Vf is prob the mjost technical fighter around, with little space for mashing. bUT Iit is about as interesting AS sitting around watching grass grow... Do not diss mk cos it is in essence a fun game.. Take away the broken moves some people have and we have a fine game on our hands, and with mk7 and hopefully the coming to fruition of all that we feel would improve the game, mk will win again, and there is nothing doa tekken or anyone can do about it..
First of all any geniunely good Tekken player will never, ever be beaten by a button masher, I myself have never claimed that I am the best in the world, but I will never, ever be beaten by a masher on Tekken.
Secondly you say that computer games are played for fun, not everyone thinks that, and Tekken and VF are games that support these people who aren't casual gamer's, in fact the fighting game genre in itself is not for people who just play games because they're "fun"
Thirdly and probably most importantly you tell us not to diss mk because of two reasons:
1. because mainstream casual players have fun on games even though they themselves don't know how to judge if it is a good fighting game.
2. a bunch of mainstream casual gamer's websites who know as little about fighting games as the readers of the site give MK an award.
But just before that, you said VF was boring because of it's technical aspects...
Do you not realise that the technical aspect along with how it lets the player use his/her own skill on the fighting game is what it's quality is judged on?
Not what pointless mini-games it has. Not how good the story that goes along with it is. Not a bunch of in-game cutscenes that you have no control over (fatalities). Not because there's a certain amount of blood is the game.
I'm sure all the fighting game fans out there including myself aren't playing these fighting games so that you and these mainstream sites can try and tell us we're judging them wrong.
