*bare with me, im not exactly a speech kind of guy like Saty,TTT,HDT and Bleed..lol*
With new things come change, and I feel as a dedicated fan of the Mortal Kombat Series that the community is due for a change. There are simply too many great fans here that have not been exposed to the many things that make an actual fighting game. Tiers, conventions, strategies, mind games,etc. This is in no way the fault of the players, for Midway themselves have made no actual effort to assist their fans with this like say Namco,Sammy,Capcom or Sega. High Level was a thing that was seeked out by the OGs like Lex and MKL back in the day. There was no internet(atleast it wasn't big yet), but we, we are much more fortunate to be a fan of the series now. We have a community BOOMING with players, a new game that is going to be online, and the largest roster for an MK game since Mortal Kombat Trilogy. Things look nothing but bright for us. So to capitilize on this I have come up with a plan...a new beginning so to speak. A little something I refer to as Projekt Revolution. A wide assortment of FAQ,Guides,Topics, some small,some huge, all with one goal...to help the community become stronger. So this topic is basically a guideline as to what you can expect the coming 3 or so months from myself and fellow players...
1.A Tier Listing - Most know what this is already. A 1-24 list of the best and worst in the game. This will be created by the top players after a few weeks-months of play. A tier list isn't exactly easy to make and requires much thought and unbiased people who know what they are talking about. The past tier lists have been for the most part reliable. Tier Lists will ONLY be updated if there has been a DRASTICALLY GAME CHANGING discovery made(in example, the back dash cancel or universal tracking,glitch with a character) that not only makes that character much better/much worse, but completely changes the way the game is played.
2. Convention FAQ - The best way to get started on learning a game is obviously to learn the conventions. How are you going to learn Jax if you don't know what im talking about when I say Muay Thai: 2,2,cs,4,b+2,b+2,4,4,cs,4? The FAQ will cover all version of the game, and will explain certain techniques such as the tech roll, back dash cancels and the universal side step.
3. Standard Tournament FAQ - A Small FAQ basically explaining the rules you'd you have if you're throwing a certain type of tournament. Regular Tournaments,Major Tournaments,Character Specific Tournaments,Chess Tournaments and Puzzle Kombat Tournaments are just a couple of examples of the rules we'll cover. Of course you can change them in anyway you desire for the tournament you are holding, but if you have no plans to do so, you can use this FAQ as a quick and easy resource to get your tournament going with minimal stress.
4. Krypt FAQ – We certainly haven’t forgotten about the non gameplay aspects of MK, and we’ll prove that with our Krypt FAQ. Basically a straight forward guide to everything located in the Krypt.
5. Character Strat Topics – Now it is unclear at the time whether MKO will be kind enough to give us our own Fighting Strategy Board and sticky up topics for all 25 characters, but we can hope for that. If not, we will have to create another High Level gameplay, identical to the one that we had for MKDA.
6. Outside The Thumbs FAQ(Gameplay with the Mind) – Probably the most ambitious and entertaining of the Projekt Revolution set, this will teach you how to THINK like a high level player. What should be on your mind at all times? What to do when you and you’re opponent are both on danger? All these and more SHOULD be answered with this funny, but very educational guide.
And that folks, is our plans for the next month or so. If there are ANY, and I don’t care how stupid you may think it is, ideas you’d like to add, I’d appreciate you posting in THIS topic BEFORE October 4th. October 4th will be the deadline, and I will not be accepting any further suggestions for this project past then. Last, but most certainly not least, I would STRONGLY appreciate PMs from people who are interested in helping me with this project. Any help will be appreciated, however, please PM rather than posting here. Don’t ask why, but I would much rather the people working on this project to be anonymous until we have a clear idea of what we’re going to do and how big this will really be. Also, please state what exactly you'd like to help out with. So remember...IDEAS HERE IN THIS TOPIC...HELPING OUT(PM!). Thank you very much for your cooperation, see you on the battlfield.
*That wasn’t too bad was it? lol*
