Am I the only one who's not interested in MK1 like, at all? I dunno, this title seems so mired in controversy at this point that it's just not interesting to me. Also like, why do they feel the need to keep making their female characters look worse and worse with each new game? I don't get it.
Besides SF6 came out recently and that game has been freakin' amazing only thing I sorta disagree with is the monetization but it's not the worst this industry has seen.
I think it looks super fun. It scratches an itch that no other fighter does. I liked X and 11 both not perfect, but great fun. I jumped ship on SF5 and as much as SF6 looks great... I think the SF should've ditched the 6 button layout long time ago. It sucks to control and it gives you bloated characters with a bunch of useless moves. It's fake depth just for the sake of it (IMO) and not for a better experience. I think modern controls are a big step in the right direction but If you had to keep the 6 button gameplay in the game then it means modern controls had to have some compromise. And that's just dumb.
I don't mean to say the game is bad or that it's wrong to like it. If people love it then more power to them. But to me, the choices made in MK1 seem far more interesting and fun, than the choices made in SF6.
And yeah, that's fair. I guess that's why both exist right? To satisfy both audiences. For example I like the 6 button layout of SF, you may think it just leads to useless moves, but it gives you more options in scenarios where you have to make split second decisions. That being said, I think that MK has been rather hollow for a while now, with the same set-ups loops and gameplay. But honestly, my biggest issue is that MK doesn't really have any characters that I'd enjoy playing. Not to invalidate your opinion or anything, of course you are entitled to it as much as I am mine.
