Super Kombat of Fighters Turbo: Tekken Edition (The Fighting Game topic)

So did anyone else pick up Mortal Kombat? It's really the first fighting game I've played for an extended period and I've been having a blast with it. I just found out about the return of the "Babalities" today and after seeing a couple, they're pretty awesome. Much better than the old one where the baby just sits there.

Yeah, I got the new Mortal Kombat. Been trying to play online, but it's pretty laggy right now with so many people playing.

I didn't get it, but a friend did, and we spent about 6 hours one day playing it. It's alright. It's the bet MK since 2, that's for sure. It might be the best one they've ever made, but I'm still not sure on it.

I still really prefer Street Fighter to MK, but I'll still play MK (and Marvel) at the shop if that's what people want to play.

As far as the competitive scene goes for this, I have no idea. I think the game has the ability to go far and last for years, but it really depends on how the "meta" fleshes out over the next few months (and especially see how it goes over at Evo).

Well I watched a bit of the tourney players at the IPW tournament, and it seems like it will hold up as a tournament fighter. Also seems like NRS would keep it up to date on patches if there were any 100% combos.

As for Street Fighter vs MK, I would say that Street Fighter is a bit more exciting to be playing but MK is better to be watching.

So, I did a thing to my arcade stick:

Bloodstorm, Time Killers, Ballz 3D, and Rise of the Robots all come to mind as worse fighting games.

You never played Ultimate Battle 22? Now that's a terrible fighting game for sure and often viewed as one of the worst fighting games out there. Same with Shaq Fu.
