Sam Beckett (the Quantum leap guy) would totally win! He's had much more like experience than Marty (multiple life experiences in fact) and would therefore have much more experience in things like combat and the like.

Indeed. It was a MK game that had some sense and reason to it. I mean I finally discovered who Noob Saibot was.boag said:
Noob Saibot was basically the first Sub-Zero AKA Bi-han (The Older Brother of Tundra, the one you play as) who was resurrected by Quan-Chi after Scorpion killed him out of revenge. Thus explains the 2 different Sub-Zero dilemma
N00B Saibot is BEASTLY!!! Him and Smoke
Was anyone else honestly expecting the review to end with sound effects of police sirens and barking attack dogs, or was that just me?
Funny how awesome our generation has become, since we do no longer get offended or grossed out by people ripping out spines with their teeth, then decapitated the person with their spine while afterwards sticking it up their bumhole.
Sure, the first 2 times it's fun and stuff. But then we yearn for something else.
I love our generation!

Ps3 has no region-lock.So he ordered it from amazon I guess =P
(Did I mention that he wrote a novel and you can pre-order it on amazon.co.uk? Well he wrote a novel and you can pre-order it from amazon.co.uk!)

Funny review, but Yahtzee's hatred of fighting games really shines through too much on this one. He makes good points about the mindless violence and the gore, but I thought that's what it was all about. It's not selling itself as anything else.
totally agree with Yahtzee.
never been a big fan of blood guts and gore in video games, it all seems rather pointless when the person you're attacking just gets back up again.
as if the TV advert for Mortal Kombat was incentive enough not to play it, perfect reinforcement from Yahtzee imo.

Another vote for McFly.
Backula would pull some very excellent, text book fighting moves, and marty would do something nutty and unexpected and put Bakula down with a skateboard across the mouth.
I hope this game causes Mortal Kombat vs. DC to drop in price. Then I'll pick that up instead.
Didn't the Xray breaking bones thing ruin Fight Club the game?

Actually, with all the crossovers Capcom has done already, I'm surprised they haven't spontaneously collided into something MUGENlike...
Yahtzee was spot on with the comments on relevance, I must say. Mortal Kombat, as a fighting game, seems to be more of a back chapter nowadays than having any real relevance since MK (in my opinion) was more about the violence than about any actual fighting.

Mechanically and competitively, this is probably the best out of the MK's with Ultimate mortal kombat 3 being second. It's fast paced, has mechanics closer to 3d style games (attack strings, and mixups within those strings, emphasis on whiff punishing etc) has a unique way of dealing with zoning, and has a very unique style of meter management. Using your meter for either a breaker, boosting your combos with ex moves, or using an x-ray adds a lot to each characters dynamics. Its great if you want to have something to play with your friends and love some friendly competition. Which is why yahtzee does not like this game.
This is how this game should be played...
Regardless, good review, love your stuff.

I guess since all of BlazBlue games sold less than a million, by far. It's irrelevant as a fighter.Silent Biohazard Solid said:
I love fighting games, I've played Melty Blood, Arcana Hearts, Marvel vs x, SF, Soul Calibur, Guilty Gear, and BlazBlue to hell.
I really don't like the new Mortal Kombat, it feels much slower, the character movesets are more generic than games like BB. (Which is already very slow compared to MvC2 and GG)
Granted, it's good for a NA fighting game. But best fighting game of this generation is ignorant. Have you even played every fighting game of this generation?
Sample Match of BlazBlue

Noooo! The video refuses to play! I wanna know what he says about this fighting game he obviously won't like because it is a fighting game!
No mention of the fact that it has like 4x the amount of single player gameplay most other fighters have?
I knew you would bash it, but I was sure you'd at least mention that.
