Ahh, man. I'm severely tempted. Looks amazing! Thankfully I'm away this weekend, so hoping my hype dissipates a little, as there's just so much coming out atm.
Got Khaos Reigns at the end of the month, Terry in SF6, and for some inexplicable reason I'm hooked on Killer Instinct (2013) again. This all while itching to jump back into Tekken. Really is some period for fighting games and the FGC atm. Incredible.

Glol. I mean tbf ALL of that collection is horribly broken, they've patched out the egregious stuff but none of it is balanced. But that's what makes it fun, doesn't it?

Also applies to the Switch version which is great news. My reference is the Dreamcast version so I'm happy about that. Just need to decide which button to apply my supers to.

Exactly - balancing these games would be missing the point.

Jwong is just on another level. I was watching him OCV’ing people with Zangief earlier. Just incredible!

Did the MK1 thread get chopped? Can't seem to find it through the search function. New launch trailer for Khaos Reigns is out, and maybe a wee hint at a return to Towers of Time for the SP mode -- oh, and Ghostface!

The search function here is kinda garbage so that's no surprise Anyway, Google only turned this one up: fontgeek.io/thread/1169/mortal-kombat |

Don't think we have an FF: CotW's thread yet, but I guess here will do for the crossover character news:

I guess that totally makes sense with Terry and Mai appearing in SF6. Tried Terry yesterday and he is so much fun to play. But yeah I guess we're getting CvS3 eventually. This is so wild.
Any news on Ronaldo appearing in CotW? Which isn't something I thought I'd write

The new AI battle thing is quite good fun. Seems like an OK way to practice a new character without getting pumped repeatedly online.

Not tried it yet myself, but I think it's the same concept, yeah. Called V-Rival, accessible via Li-Fen in the Battle Hub. Not tried Terry either yet, as mopping up some of the Khaos Reigns stuff in MK1 last two evenings. May do tonight! He looks awesome. |

I saw the Animalities last night and holy shit I was impressed by the actual quality of them. Terry is really fucking fun. I'm not particularly amazing at combos but so much of his stuff combos so easily it feels like I'm using autocombos from Killer Instinct. |

I've really enjoyed it so far, but mileage may vary, ofc. The new story campaign looks fantastic, as usual, and I thought it was a lot of fun, but some may feel its a little short, I guess. The available new characters all also seem pretty cool: Cyrax surprised me, actually, as I expected to gravitate more to Noob and Sektor, but she's been a pleasant surprise. The new additions to the SP modes (finally a fucking map for Invasions!) and the Towers of Time with new weekly challenges are great for players like me, as I tend to find just playing online a bit too draining at times the older I get, but that'll be a case of if it floats your boat, etc. The Animalities are awesome, yeah  The PC port is also slowly but surely getting smoother now (if that's relevant). It's pricey, though. No doubt. So unless you're really interested in the above, it may be worth holding off for a bit, especially with so much content dropping across the genre in general. |

I guess I'll get the ultimate edition like I did for MK11

That sounds pretty appealing. Solid SP content in a fighting game is often lacking, but it is good to see the recent ones have tried to correct that (MK has always done quite well on that account, with its nutty story mode).
MK1 is the only fighting game I didn't pick up of the big three that have recently released. Should probably get around to it, although I did find I drifted away from both SF6 and T8 quite quickly. I really liked both (especially T8), but being absolutely rubbish at multiplayer does limit all of them.

May also be, if you haven't picked it up yet, that the current bundle with the base game and Khaos Reigns (including the Kombat packs) gets a modest discount around Christmas time, I guess?
Yeah, across SF6, MK1, and T8, feels like there's been real strides throughout the genre to get both new players and older, more casual players in. The training tools and AI challenges based off your own level/behaviour are a great addition for getting better, or just avoiding the stress of online play if not in the mood, etc. And the SP content has been getting fleshed out more and more, which can only be a good thing.
Tbh, it really is just the excessive price gouging and tedious monetization that is the one sour note for me. Otherwise, it's just an amazing time to be a FG fan, of any skill level.

Yeah I have been dismayed by the pricing model but I've never seen the FGC in such rude health. On a simpler level I had so much fun playing MvC2 last week with a mate. We really are eating well.

Yeah, but currently a bit worse? The AI in tekken seems more human, this still feels very VS CPU. It waits for you to do things and reacts to them and input reads like a bastard. I took Honda from rookie to master last night and I don't think I landed a single throw or DI at any level. I played a Manon AI in D5 and she jabbed me out of every single drive rush I tried. Its more realistic than CPU L7/8 but I think it probably needs a ton more data. All that said, it is still pretty fun and is a really good way to learn a character. |
