Dr. Dazzle Posted June 21, 2002 Share Posted June 21, 2002 Mortal Kombat 2 was the best one. They should have stopped there...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glue Posted June 21, 2002 Share Posted June 21, 2002 yes, i agree MK2 was by far the best MK game ever published and put out onto the market...the reason is very simple....MK2 had the best concept and stroyline...as soon as MK3 came out, there was all these new characters and 'struggling' to make the newest possible ideas...scrambling basically to make money by producing new, yet old (take my meaning?) ideas....they should have stopped with good old Genesis/MK2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest uncle-boy Posted June 21, 2002 Share Posted June 21, 2002 if they were smart, they'd let capcom have the rights to Mortal Combat then there could be the most awsome cross over game ever...... Street Fighter vs. Mortal Combat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REGULATOR Posted June 21, 2002 Share Posted June 21, 2002 ^^ HAHA those are great MK2 was the best?!?! hell no, i hated that game!! the moves and characters were limited, and it seemed kinda slow to me i remember the first time i saw mk3.....i was pretty young, at this arcade in the suburbs, and i see some white kids crowded around the game machine...i walk on over, and proceed to see Sektor open his chest and this huge machine comes out and crushes the guy......i was fuckin hooked since then...it was so much faster, with the run options....the levels were fuckin sick and urban, like subways and shit, but it never lost the whole mortal kombat feel cus it still had levels like the pit or temple...the characters were fuckin rad too...like those robotic ninjas and some new crazy mother fuckers like Kabal and Motaro.......mk3 was my favorite fuckin game in the world....i musta played that game on my sega genesis for hours and hours, and at the arcade, i would waste my tokens all the time........LONG LIVE MORTAL KOMBAT!!

Guest Canadiano Posted June 22, 2002 Share Posted June 22, 2002 how come those screenshots label M. Bison as Vega? I thought Vega was the Spanish dude with a mask and rocks claws over his hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ted Wakowski Posted June 22, 2002 Share Posted June 22, 2002 Holy shit this thread brings back memories. I used to skip school and go to the arcade and play SF2 all fucking day. Mortal Kombat was the shit as well. My boy worked in the arcade and we played for free forever. These games are responsible for my diminishing intelligence. Those were the days.

Guest Ted Wakowski Posted June 22, 2002 Share Posted June 22, 2002 Originally posted by Canadiano how come those screenshots label M. Bison as Vega? I thought Vega was the Spanish dude with a mask and rocks claws over his hands. The character you know as "M. Bison" was originally named "Vega" in the initial Japanese release of the game. That's because over in Japan the first name given to the boxing character you know as "Balrog" was actually "M. Bison" (after Mike Tyson) but, in fear of a potential lawsuit in the U.S version of the game, Capcom had a few names rearranged, which kept legalities cool. But the Japanese version was never altered, so occasionally you'll see old incarnations of the game with the original names still intact. Yeah, I was a fucking Street-Fighter-II geek.
