For any fighting game, fairness is always the top priority. Even though the characters may be diverse, possessing skills that counter each other, they will certainly all have certain advantages and disadvantages, thereby creating fair matches, with no advantage before starting. . However, a major fighting game brand like Mortal Kombat seems to be forgetting this basic element.
Accordingly, since its release last September, Mortal Kombat 1 has received many positive reviews. Retaining favorite characters, improving the fighting mechanism and beautiful moves, Mortal Kombat 1 even creates countless different combo attack chains to create excitement. taste for each character. However, it seems that this feature is gradually backfiring when a number of cases appear that seem to be beyond the control of both gamers and developers.
Not long ago, a professional gamer named NinjaKilla212 shared a video about the combo sequence he performed. Choosing the character Shang Tsung and combining skillful attacks, the gamer can keep his opponent in the air and perform combos of up to 89 attacks before letting the enemy “land”. It’s not an exaggeration to say that this is an endless combo with no end in sight, and besides the fact that NinjaKilla212 is extremely enjoying himself, his enemies have no choice but to endure the battle and watch time pass. . This immediately turns Mortal Kombat 1 into an extremely one-sided game, as the opponent cannot do or control anything while the player performs the above combo chain.
There has been a lot of criticism of Mortal Kombat 1’s developers regarding this issue, but at the same time, some have also pointed out that there are separate ways to interrupt the above endless combo. However, this is not too “friendly” for new players, and will be a minus point for Mortal Kombat 1 in the long term.
