    I don't know what it is, I've never been particularly involved in any kind of MK game, and only mildly involved in any kind of competitive fighting games in the past, but for some reason every Ketchup & Mustard video manages to be thoroughly entertaining and truly informative. Truly, good work gentlemen and keep it up, and I'll keep watching.

      The combos were bad enough, but it was the super one-sided fights in Konquest that were true nightmares. "Beat Scorpion while you're degenerating and he does triple damage" was easily the worst.

    These kombo challenges were so difficult. They made kid-me feel like a total sucker at fighting games. It would sting even more when I would get many done but still have that one kombo keeping me stuck, preventing me from getting the achievement for that character. I have completed only a few of these but I am interested in doing all of them one day. Totally enjoying the increased coverage of this often forgotten MK game!
    UPDATE: Finally kompleted them all

    Enjoyed the commentary here. Oh, this reminds me, when you get to Kitana's C. History episode and her MKvsDC portion, you'll probably mention how she has mileena's ball roll. I hope you also mention that this is common practice in MK games, where characters get other characters' moves, it's not a kitana thing. Some examples below:
    -Reptile got Sub-Zero's slide in MK2
    -Smoke got Scorp's spear and teleport in UMK3, and Reptile's invisibility
    -Jade got Cage's shadow kick in MK3
    -Alien got Baraka's moves in MKX
    -Mileena got Sonya's leg grab in MKX
    -Mileena got Reptile's invisibility in MK11
    -Mileena got Kira's (Deception) fatality in MK9
    -Kenshi got Ermac's "lift" in MKDA
    -Tanya got Kitana's "kiss of death" fatality in MK4
    There are definitely more examples, but this should be enough I think. Apologies for the long comment lol, I just don't like this idea that some people have that Kitana "steals" moves, this has been happening in the series for a while.

    I'd say that even the 'easy' ones could be a bit of a nightmare for players who werent already familiar with the mechanics and combo structure of the game, if only because no-where in MKvsDC itself or the manual does the game explain what a pro move is or how to do them, which can lead to a lot of confusion as to what exactly your supposed to press there without, well, leaving the game to look it up online. and if your doing that out off frustration, chances are you might not want to come back to the game

    MK Vs. DC combo trials were great overall. Another point I wanna bring up is that they were better than MVC3's combo trials, because in MK VS. DC, the inputs for the combos were on screen, unlike in MVC3 in which you had only the names of the moves (and only on the left side of the screen, not in the middle) and you had to always pause the game, go to the char's movelist, read the inputs and then memorize it all before going back to the trial. That made even the easy combos in MVC3 to be really annoying, I speak from experience, trust me.

      @stressedrex Год назад +2

      The biggest reasons why some people dislike this game:
      1. The violence was heavily toned down (it's the only T-rated game in the series)
      2. A lot of people hated how the game controlled, like how sidestepping worked and the promove system (but this could easily be a subjective thing, the game is clearly still playable)
      3. The game hardly had any extra content compared to its other 3D peers. There were no mini games, koins, or Krypt (Midway was going bankrupt at the time and had little time to develop the game)
      Keep in mind that I DON'T dislike this game, I actually consider it quite decent, and in fact, I find it to be overhated and underrated. But it's probably still the worst game of the main series

  • @joylessgaming
    @joylessgaming Год назад +1

    Should include a trigger warning for Mileena fans, given you see Kitana doing ball roll in this video... In seriousness though, I wouldn't underestimate how intimidating combos in general are for a large part of the audience - there are people who've commented on my videos seemingly impressed by my skill level. But anyone with actual skills wouldn't say that, because I suck. So there are plenty who wouldn't find the "easy" ones easy. It really doesn't help in the case of MKvDC having the challenges but not having demonstrations, as you found by having to figure out where on screen you're even supposed to start.
    Side note, I kind of see shades of beta MK11 in the "promove" system, back when amplified specials had specific inputs rather than a universal button.
