Mortal Kombat Armageddon to feature every kombatant, ever
by James Ransom-Wiley
60 playable characters in a fighting game? Unheard of. But according to the latest issue of Game Informer, Midway plans to exit the current generation stage on a high note. Mortal Kombat Armageddon will feature "all the characters from Mortal Kombat fighting history," with the possible exception of Motaro. And if that's not enough, players can tinker with the new Create a Kombatant mode.
In addition, Armageddon will feature a revamped fatality system, mid-air combos, direction-controlled throws, and a Konquest mode based on the Shaolin Monks engine. Armageddon strikes in October for the PS2 and Xbox.

What if old Shang Tsung kills young Shang Tsung? Does he stop existing? Or is the young one actually the old one brought back from the death, inverting the situation?

We can wonder the same about human and robot Smoke, or the younger brother Sub-Zero in and out of the Lin Kuei.
There is no version of this where you come out on top. Maybe your army comes, and maybe it’s too much for us, but it’s all on you. Because if we can’t protect the Earth, you can be damn well sure we’ll avenge it.

60 fighters?! Oh my korean god!
seriously though, I dont' care if it's two-hundred but they all move the same with the only difference aside from color coming from the fact that they have different movesets. At least, with some of Capcom's fighting games, the big slugs really move like big slugs and the lightweights move fast. And Dan fights like a gay.
I also never liked memorizing complicated button pushing sequences just to do one cool looking move when I can kill the enemy by pure luck and button mashing.
The only thing I liked about mortal kombat was the gore factor, it was awesome when I was 12 years old. Now, meh.

Yeah, it was cool to watch, but I never got into it because of all the (already) complicated button sequences. The only current fighting game I enjoy is Smash Bros because you can beat everyone without having any videogame talent. Also, it features colorful cartoony characters beating each other to death.

You just made Rob love you even more.
As for the complicated button mashing, yeah. Egzactly why I loved Capcom's fighters. You basically have three sets of movesets so you only have to try and see if it'll do something with a new character.
Nothing happens if I go Down, Forward, punch, so maybe something will happen if I hold Back for 3 seconds, then forward and punch!
MK's movelists reminds me of that horrible time in my job as a grocery clerk where I have to memorize a lot of item codes. The only difference is that the grocery fucks pay me money in exchange for making my life difficult. MK's only reward is it lets me see people murder each other. I live in Pateros, I can do that for free by opening my window in the wee hours of the morning.

In the Game Cube version sure, as I've barely played that one. But I'll own you in the N64 version.

smash bros, cube version, is the greatest game evar!!1!!
i never really liked mortal kombat, not because of the complicated button scheme, but because it included a block button. some ten years ago, when street fighter reigned supreme, block was "back," damnit! i could just never adjust outta that mentality, and thus formed an early bias against MK.
since then, i've never really enjoyed any of the incarnations, though i do really like the thought of this game simply giving every fan what they want.

i like the earlier versions of mk. the block button was handy unless i hadn't played in awhile i would go back to the back to block. though all the different fighting styles and combo's made me lose interest. but the main fun for that has always been kickin ass. which leads me to agree with most of ya'll smash bros was one of the best. everyone i played with hated it, but i loved beating 3 asses at once. and link so rules on that game.

My favorite Pikachu move is when he says "Pikach--" and I interrupt him with "Hi-ya!".

This thread has become a Super Smash Bros thread. I think I'll join in.
Four level nine computer players, free for all, same character in their own background. Which is the most fun to watch when you're taking a break?

just goes to show you how suck a pussy MK is when a thread about it only got a couple of replies saying how much they don't like it, and then segueing into a discussion about Super Smash Bros and about how much dad likes pixelated naked chicks.

What I do is take on three Links of various levels (while playing as Fox) and put them on one team against me. Or I put three Jigglypuffs (or Pikachus) on level 1 and kick the crap out of them.

Good idea, cause free for alls are way too easy because you can let two or more fight each other, while you throw them a bomb or something from a distance.
It's also fun having four Links or four Donkey Kongs battle each other.

Turning off all weapons makes for a better challenge.
Anywho, since we're 
MK2 was cool. MKA sounds cool too.
