Oh and I've been reading a lot of threads lately about people either praising or bashing MKA. I'm not doing either, just trying to pose a simple question I haven't quite seen brought up yet. I know this game's gameplay is beaten to death and I don't mean to start up another complaint thread. ;)

there probably not as long cause we dont have 3 styles

Yeah but the combos are seemingly slower. It's as if the action isn't NEARLY as fast paced. Am I the only one who feels it?

Aw man which way are you looking at the screen? (I'm joking)

Anyway that fast paced action went with MkT. It sounds more like you're reffering to the dail-a-combo system we've been subjected to, and the third style//stance.

Other things between these games have been changed in the gameplay, by way of the fighting engine. 1They manipulated it for stuff like parrys' and the way that "works?", breakers, and a wake-up game(being able to fight from the ground up)

But there are more....deeper issues conserning gameplay that make the engine pretty much crap. Animation contributes, but moreso, key fundamentals of the system are just...broken.

But it's been disturbingly "slow" for me since MkDa. Mk4 was the idicator for what was to come.

I for one am thankful. MKA plays alot smoother. I wouldn't call it sluggish, I would call it more realistic.
