like I get that you want your games to have a revenue stream post launch but boy howdy am I over dlc characters/launch dlc characters especially for fighting games
I dunno if theres one thing im willing to pay extra for its entirely new characters. I doubt these characters would be in the game if they couldnt charge extra, I see them as a bonus, not something 'cut" from the game.
Also going from MK11 to that power rangers trailer was quite the whiplash. I kept expecting the green ranger to decapitate someone
Oh no they do put in quite a bit of post game work into characters and I get that people like em which is cool, I prefer the expansion aspect I suppose with mechanic updates and characters at the same time, not a slow drip of characters who maybe have new mechanics
both are valid I just don't like one dangit!!!
and to be fair NRS has got miles better about how they've done it since Injustice 1

there were some pretty bad ways of doing expansions
like here's 4 new characters and a balance patch, we're ending online support for the old game
cost $60, no upgrade option if you owned the old version
Man it's been a while since I've gone from excitement to disappointment so quickly. They took Mk, made it slower, gave it street fighter footsies, kept bullshit zoning, and made meter refill like stamina. So you get meter while running away.
The game is very pretty and has some cool looking moves but christ does it look unnapealing to actually play. DOA was more hype.
Atleast we're getting more Fighterz content. That's something to look forward to.
I do really wish Netherrealm would add some kind of cosmetic-only option to Injustice 2 however. The only way to play with a character’s default look is to either play with no gear or transmogrify all your best gear into the default gear, which is a micro transaction.
What I’m really saying is all the TMNT gear looks terrible and they became the only characters I play in that game as soon as they were released.
A lot of people seem too be very averse to guest horror/sci-fi franchise characters in MK. As someone who grew up in the 80's, I say bring 'em the fuck on. Pulling in cast from outside does not "ruin my immersion" in any way, shape, or form. As far fighting games go, I don't think they ever will.
If the rumors of Ash, Michael Myers, and Pennywise are in per leaked info, the young kid in me who used to sneak horror movies with his buddies every weekend will be ecstatic, just as I have been with all of the previous titles' guest characters.
Speaking of which, as someone who doesn't follow Tekken too heavily, are people upset about Negan? Or is this something that seems to only be a thing for NRS titles (people were upset about guest characters in IJ2 as well).

It ruins the immersion of believing in the Purple Rain ninja and a universe where no one can pronounce Chinese correctly.
Jason and Xenomorph were the best parts of MKX for me.
In other news, I finally got in the parts I needed, and my new controller feels swag as hell.
That is very sexy. Are you gonna keep the minimal look?
Heck yeah. I waited 3 months for Paradise to finally get Sanwa OBSF-24 black back in stock. I could have gone to Focus Attack sooner, but I like the Paradise people.
The case came from AllFightSticks, which is pretty affordable if you go with their "Ready To Ship" / "RTS" pre-built models.
Edit: In particular, this AFS model has that rounded edge on the front that I really like. It's much comfier on my hands than plexi-top cases.

It seems like this is more neutral based than MKX. Fewer low risk/big reward overheads.
Playable shao khan could be my jam
FORGET MK11
IB?
MK confirmed anime.
Someone.......... Was asking??
I know its 2019 and no one cares but dangit

I loved how sf4 and mvc3 worked but that was also a decade ago when everything was just getting online
ED BOON READ MY LETTERS
I thought ultradavid was just having a fever dream
This sounds dope
Someone finally made “sacrifice life for more time on the clock” mechanics for real?

Why wouldn't you ask for a Kamen Rider fighting game instead?

Divekick has Jefailey. His ground special is Timer Scam, which stops the action and drains 2 seconds off the clock.
Because the game is 1-hit-kill, time-over tiebreakers are decided by who is closest to the center of the stage. This can be a very strong move to use.

its all marketing at this point I guess, but there's plenty of reasons to be optimistic
And the fact that they said they're toning down all the crazy 50/50s actually makes me a bit more excited for MK11.
Let's play!
I'm gonna miss playing Jason though
