Mortal Kombat 11

I assure you, it was not.

Deadly Alliance was the most well-received game between Trilogy and MK9. None of the others are all that well-liked.

...That is something of a shock, almost all reception I know said MKD was improvement over some issue of MKDA.

Nah, Deception had a decent rep at the time, and even MK 4 got a decent amount of praise.

I mean, praise was given to the story, for rescuing Nightwolf and Kabal, some of the change like Dark raiden and onaga being a good villian, also the scenarios and the story.

Critic were that shujinko was unlikable, new chararter were pretty much a reash of old one, MK 4 style and some were bad like dairou.

But so far until mK9 it have good rep.

Ok, I'm not sure where all this whole Deception is crappy game came from, but I can tell you for sure that I enjoy Deception eons more than I did with Deadly Alliance. In fact, I still wish some other fighting games too a cue from Deception.

Would I suggest Deception over the likes of Tekken or DOA? Hell no

Would I recommend it if you're looking to have a fun time? Yes, I would

I'm just saying that you can't compare Deception to something like MK 9 because they had a different direction & mindset with the 2 games.

Armageddon was especially poorly recieved.

"AIR KOMBAT!!!"

I would recomend over tekken but I dont like tekken and that is just me.

For what I get, MKDA was good and save the game by taken in a new direction, killing kang and khan in one move prove a good choice.

MKD improve the gameplay of MKDA, the story and the aesthetic is pretty good, hell MK 11 look kinda like MKD in that way with the dark ambient stuff.

I disagree somewhat, MK 9 & 11 had a lot of brighter stages compare to the rest of the series.

MK 9 yeah, everything is shinny and brillatnt there(except the kript), but Deception does have bright stage as well.

Is the general overall aesthetic that are similar.

Though the Tekken games of that era were better recieved than Deception and Deadly Alliance.

And the fact that they weren't all that popular is part of why Netherrealm went with back toside scrolling with MK 9 and removed side stepping.

Q&A Boon had in Brazil. Among other things, he talk about how he would have liked John Wick and a Street Fighter character as guest DLC.

I feel like a Street Fighter character's a possibility in something like Injustice that has mild blood at worst.

But why would they be in a DC fighting game? I don't think that would have the same impact.

Injustice is significantly less gory for one thing.

Capcom isn't going to have a character from a family friendly franchise show up in an M-rated game where they can get horribly mauled. Period.

There are Street Fighter comic books, everybody knows Street Fighter, and it's one of the only ways we'll potentially get Ryu Vs. Scorpion.

I think it depends on the character. Ryu? Not so much. Gill or Bison? Sure.

Also put me down for John Wick single handedly killing Kronika because time shenanigans killed his dog.

You're not getting it. With Injustice, the issue wouldn't be gore, just the fact that it's not the crossover fans are asking for.

I've never really seen anyone say they wanted Ryu to fight with Superman and with Injustice, it wouldn't be the real Superman, just an evil counterpart.

MK VS Street Fighter is the ones fans want to see, but the gore is an issue. Plus there's also the fact that it's mainly a crossover western fans want to see, Japanese fans would have no interest in it and thus Capcom has no real incentive to do it( On top of not being comfortable with the gore).

For Japanese fighting game fans, the dream crossover was Capcom vs SNK.

And then there is SF vs Tekken, but that was a monkey's paw.

It's to bad they never did Tekken X Street Fighter like they planned.

Still, Akuma in the recent Tekken was great.

Now that i think about it. Tekken 7 has several fighting game guest character, i wonder how open Boon is about MK characters showing up in other fighting games. I can't recall if it has happened before.

Injustice VS MK, I wouldn’t mind crossover now that MK’s fighting and gameplay can stand for itself and wouldn’t need to depend on fatalities or excessive gore.

I think you're underestimating how much people are willing to compromise.

T7 & Smash Ultimate is still the closest thing people will have to CVS 3. Why should Injustice be any different?

Also, things got leaked

Deadpool & Soul Chambers are coming back, Fujin will be a thing at some point, & Friendship data has found. So that's nice

Injustice is American, Smash is Japanese.

And Tekken is also a Japanese franchise for that matter.

More importantly the context is difference. Tekken is a fighting game franchise and Tekken 7 has fighting game guest characters as it is.

Smash is a big video game crossover.

It should be clear why Injustice is different. With Injustice 2 most of the guests were other comic book characters and that made far more sense.

And you're only suggesting Injustice as a consolation, because a Street Fighter character in MK as a guest or a crossover is unlikely.

Oh and Fujin was leaked ages ago, they were in the datamine

The Japanese Tekken 7 has the American live action television series the Walking Dead's latter seasons antagonist as a character. And Injustice has featured Mortal Kombat characters, which don't come from comic books.

There really are no rules or regulations when it comes to crossovers other than the arbitrary ones the developers or publishers set, and if an opportunity arises that's enticing enough they'll set those aside in a second.
