No offence, but you are joking, right? You're disappointed with MKA because there's no Chess?! Sorry, but I find that very difficult to understand, dude. Here you have almost all of the kombatants with absolute boat loads of other shit. And here you are saying that your biggest disappointent is no Chess Mini Game. The Chess was only a supplement to the main game in MKD. It's like saying that you hate your new $300,000 Porsche because a $3000 stereo isn't included. Lol.

Want to play Chess? Then go buy a seperate Chess game. Or pop in MKD :mrgreen:

Well, you know, he said his "biggest" dissapointment was no chess. So if chess is so minor it must be a great game right? But I miss chess too. It was my most played mode in MKD.
 
Sorry, man. I wasn't trying to piss him off. Like him, I was just stating my thoughts on the matter. I can understand being disappointed by the ommission of something, but Chess, as fun as it may be, seems a trifle insignificant when compared to the game as a whole. Anyways.
 
The thing that hit me the hardest was the fact that the chracters only have one fighting style and one weapons style rather than two fighting styles like DA and D it means that combo's are limited to about 3 or 4 moves. After playing these characters to death in the previous games and knowing all the combo's it feels odd playing these half built characters. Particuly Kung Lao, once the most accessible character they've given him shaolin fist and shujinko the mantis style whereas i think that should have been the other way round. but what I find the most troubling is that the air combo's outnumber the ground combo's about 2 to 1 it seems comletely unbalanced as the ground combo's are infinetely more useful than the air ones. It just shows how midway in designing these new and exiting elements for the game have sacrificed basic playability for this test version of MK8.
 
Well personally I love the less complicated 2-style system. I think air kombat more than makes up for the lack of combos. And we still have some style links, their just not as long. As for Kung Lao, I freakin' LOVE him in MKA.

No offense taken... And no I’m not joking; although I am ecstatic that there's 'almost all of the kombatants with absolute boat loads of other shit'.... I would have loved it if chess would have been included due to that very fact... MKA Chess would've been off the hinges w/all them kombatants, am I wrong? This thread is about biggest disappointments... If this was about what I liked best, I woulda said 'the size of the roster and KAK'. - and I posted something similar to that in another thread...

Don't trip - I'm assuming you've never taken the time to get down with MK Chess... If you and a skilled opponent utilize all of which MK Chess has to offer (traps, spells, power squares...) you will realize how Chess can be much more exciting than regular vs. mode...

In chess you fight to gain a strategic advantage... there is much more at stake than simply winning a match...

It is a shame if you've never given chess a proper chance... It is a very deep game.

If both opponents are skilled enough, a match can last for over an hour. Imagine if all the moves/ spells cast/ fights that you and your opponent have made led up to the one determining battle... whoever ends up as the victor will gain enough of a strategic advantage that the match will tip in their favor, but nothing is guaranteed until the opponents leader has been subjected to a fatality. So the scales can tip back and forth against all odds.

My boy and I linked up about once a week strictly to get down on the MK Chess... It's all good though, cuz on MKA now we go at it with our KAKs...

'Lol' at your analogy... I could always have a $3,000 after market stereo installed in that $300,000 Porsche, but no amount of money is gonna get me a MKA version of chess.

I'm not about to buy a separate chess game; the only one I like is MK Chess. It's has the perfect blend of strategy and raw fighting...

THANK YOU! - I was beginning to think me and my folcz were the only people who played chess more than any other mode in MKD. Much appreciated!

Since you wanna pull a side-buster move and repeat what the dude wit the Mileena fetish said... I will address it once again:
It would've been nice to have a MKA version of chess, cuz then it would have featured all of the kombatants...
