Not even heard of Fatal Fury!? two of them were ported to megadrive. I loved Mortal Kombat when it came out, the SMS version mind didn't have a Megadrive at the time, still like it a lot now.
Mortal Kombat provided a lot of fun, back when it was released. My best friend and I had access to any available fighting game on the market, at the time, thanks to the convenience of rentals, but we preferred to rent (and later, he purchased) Mortal Kombat for his SNES. The "shock value" and "digi-graphics" were nice, but even at the time we were less focused on them (even pointing out flaws in the graphics) and more focused on the fun we had with the game. It was a hoot; certainly not "shitty".Quote:

I'll give you Karateka, though - if only for the fact you can make the main character walk backwards off the cliff and die at the beginning of the game. What a riot.
Ha, I enjoy quite a lot of games; but that does not change the fact that MK was a huge disappointment and inferior to about any MD game of the time, even including World Heroes: MK is about one of the worst fighting series of all time, especially part 1. The 2-hour example was from myself; I had seen screenshots of the game and was looking forward to it (the MD was lacking fighters anyway), but after 2 hours of playing it I grew tired and stopped. Even mediocre games like the first Fatal Fury provided more fun.
MK just had an incredibly bad fighting system. Well, at least it is better than Pit Fighter.
But "Shitty" is indeed the right description for it.
The MK series was worthless for me until Deadly Alliance came around.
But to shorten an endless debate: tastes are different.

No Virtua Fighter?
I'd play MK3 over SF2 anyway. Samurai Shodown is the eternal champion (GEDDIT) of 2D fighters though, unquestionably.
I wouldnīt even play MK3 if it was my only game. Iīd quit playing video games at all in that case.
And I donīt like Virtua Fighter. It is too tactical and requires a lot of boring work before you are so used to it itīs play mechanics it is actually fun. The Tekken series offers a better balance; it has a lot of depth if you really get into it, but can be played even by n00bs. Soul Calibur is the other extreme: pure button mashing, and little sense in training and mastering it.
Oh God yes! I can't really get into this series at all. Too time-consuming.Quote:

Indeed....basically you can still play Tekken 3 from 10 years ago, and wonīt miss any major gameplay-improvements.
Tekken is like a retarded cousin with too much make up to Virtua Fighter.
I wasn't a big fan of MK3 either, MK I and II are all I care about. I still say you haven't played MK enough to appreciate it.Quote:

My friends were like "why, cuz you're losing?" and I'm like "no, because there is no skill or strategy, its just mashing whatever button you can and getting lucky." I felt the same way about the Dragon Ball Z Budokai games.
lol, that is true, tekken did start as a Virtua Fighter clone, I never really got into either one though, the only 3D fighter I ever really played was Street Fighter EX 3 and that wasn't as good as the regular Street Fighter II Turbo/SCE.Quote:

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa???
Tekken started out as a more simplified version of Virtua Fighter, but games 4 through 6 are terrible, with no strategy whatsoever. The series peeked at Tekken Tag Tournament which was a launch title for PS2, so we're talking years ago now. As for Soul Calibur, it's only a masher if you play against other mashers; go up against someone who actually knows what they're doing and it becomes a whole new game. Granted, it's not the most hardcore game out there, but with the right players it's just as deep as Tekken. Virtua Fighter is my pick because I love the deep, intricate play mechanics. Elite matches are quite boring to watch if you're not a player, but when you take someone down at that level it feels like you've accomplished so much more.
At least we can all agree that Dead Or Alive blows, yeah?
I wouldn't even mention Tekken in the same sentence as Soul Calibur. Oh wait...I just did! :(Quote:

I agree that Tekken has not made any progress lately (havenīt played 6 yet), but it still easily outclasses Soul Calibur imho....but granted, Dead or Alive really is the most overrated 3D-fighting series.
