MK vs. DC

I can hardly wait.

... Yeah.

When was the last time Mortal Kombat mattered anyway? I can take or leave its shitty plot and multitude of crappy characters. I mean, what does MK bring to the table here?

Rabid fanboys willing to pay top dollar for fights not story.

I am an MK fan and I did find the plotline of every game to be crappy but I play the game for the fighting tournaments.

Every game after Mortal Kombat II has stood in its shadow.

You. Via a spike. Attached to a chain. Attached to a ninja.

The Mortal Kombat series has been a joke for a decade now.

And this is the punchline.

The fame of Mortal Kombat was entirely due to the fountains of cheap sprite-based blood in the original game. Then they made one good movie and one horrible sequel. After that, they've just been milking the game's history.

so who else could they front besides bats?

ok, maybe Bane, or Question, or Wildcat, but if we had anyother character from the Superhero universe it would be a bit lopsided...

Now we just need Marvel vs Capcom Vs MK vs DC.

Vs SNK, for giggles.

I'm not sure how this work. Surely most of the money making DC characters could run riot over the MK crew.

Is this going to be like those episodes of SuperFriends where Superman will be in another galaxy fixing a rocket or something so the Legion of Doom can almost seem like they have a chance?

yeah, STARTFlash wins.... (wait when did he move?_

If this allows me to have Lobo and Sub-Zero (two characters i consider awesome) fight, then i will be pleased.

I should add that, i'm something of an MK fanboy. Yes the story is bad, but you know what, if you come to a FIGHTING GAME looking for a good story...you need to rethink your priorities my good friend.

That being said, the first three were undoubtedly the best, and MK Armageddon didnt sex my world the way i had hoped it would. But still, it's a good franchise, so why the hell not.

Everyone here overlooks the amazing fountain of awesome that was MK: Shaolin Monks.

What? WHAT? Why are you all looking at me like that?

Is that the beat 'em up with Liu Kang and the dude with the Oddjob hat?

I played that once or twice i thought it was pretty cool, though perhaps a little repetitive, but fun enough. (assuming we're talking about the same game...if you mean that Sub-Zero game from ages ago, whose name i cant recall, then i'm mistaken)

I guess Midway figures it has to get away with squeezing whatever silly titles it can in before the third movie comes out and forces them to produce more serious MK games, whatever that would mean.

Yeah, it was Liu Kang and Kung Lao. It was awesome fun two player just juggling a bad-guy for ages between you. And there was also a "just plain win" spot very early on with infinitely spawning mooks who allowed you to level at an amazing rate until you either capped or got bored.

Seriously, this is about as good an idea as when Marvel got EA to make them a fighting game.

Mortal Kombat is the absolute bottom of the barrel for fighting game franchises, they have shitty fight mechanics and rubbish characters.

LMAO...fucking A, what won't people use as a useless try at money?

I think I would respect a game that was UFC versus Madden more then this.

The concept of Scorpion vs Batman makes me happy in my pants.

This game will apparently not feature fatalities according to Kotaku.

Hurrah. How is this MK still?

Goddamn DC for not letting Johnny Cage punch Wonder Woman's head off.

Yeah. Just because the DC heroes are pussies with their "No Kill" rule, you're now going to prevent Kano from ripping someone's head off, backbone and all?

*nerd snort* EErrrrm. Actually, Kano rips people's hearts out of their chest. Sub-Zero is the one who does the head and spine removal.

besdies villians like slade wilson (deathstroke), Bane, Tara Markov, Cheshire, etc (should have fatalities)


though Terra's would probably be burrying you and her under a pile of rubble that could be seen from Orbit....

DC and Marvel should just stop being pansies and have it out with DC vs Marvel dammit. Besides, it would be more entertaining than Busiek's attempt at it .
