Please elaborate. I know they fixed the player 1 advantage bug. I haven't heard about this.

Unless that shit has something that's unlockable in MK1 via linking, I'm not touching that mobile garbage with a 10 foot pole.
After the shit that was MKX mobile, never again.

You're right! I was blown away by the gameplay!
My favorite combos are.
"Instant Credit Card Flash" that does meterless 42% combo damage with Premium 10% damage that is boosted by 5% Turbo pack.
and
"Oh no I am broke!" that goes for instant kill.

Mate, you don't want to add SF6 to this conversation. That just makes MK1 look even more pathetic. The issues that SF6 is facing are actual nothing burger, compared to MK1 being an overpriced soulless corporate product with 70$ price tag, that lacks even the most basic features.
How about let's just focus on what MK1 has to offer, cause the moment you compare it with any other game, it becomes a PAINFULLY clear scam.

But this ain't an issue if you just play the game for fun. You don't have as many people bringing up SF6 input issues, is cause game has other meat to distract. Sure if I play competitive, I will notice that. Should it be fixed? Sure.
But I can also have other stuff to do in the game, for which I paid 60$. So input doesn't bite as much.
MK1 on other hand has lousy offline content. So input issues stand out more, cause online is pretty much the only place to play, after you beat Story mode and deal with Invasions grind. And people paid 70 bucks for that.
Hence like I said. Comparing the two is just... no.
Both may have same issues in that area, but they are in completely different leagues.

Ha! We get it, you don't like the game.
I agree this game doesn't have a lot of single player content but the gameplay IS incredibly fun. Personally, I don't really play those modes anyway. Once I finish story, I go straight to online. Even SF6, after a while, I got bored of the World Tour mode. But to each their own.
P.S: Mileena does WAY too much damage!

Ha! I get it. You like the game. Good for you.
The point wasn't about "what you like or don't". Just about the amount of content and game's quality.
If the game charges 60-70 dollars. I expect that the game works day one, I expect content to match the price tag and I expect proper service. My biggest complaint should be "Not my type of game, but it works and has content befitting the price". MK1 doesn't even come close to that. And I am not bringing SF6 in this, cause like I said before. Judging by the standards above it is just a one sided massacre. Even when it has its own issues.
I am legitimately glad at least SOME people are having fun in MK1.
Can't say the same for Switch or PC players. Who got charged the same amount as console players, but got crappier experience from technical standpoint. So not only the game doesn't deserve the price tag, it also overcharges people on different platforms with lesser experience, less features and worse performance as well.
From ethical standpoint it is a pure scam.
But again most of the people don't care. Next year they will be gladly paying 20-40USD per character, as long as something is fun.
To make sure that there is no misunderstanding. I am not comparing which game is more fun or superior. I am talking about scummy corporate tactics that people accept, for a little bit of fun.
Though at least I am glad to see some hope now, as MK1 doesn't seem to be doing that hot in sales and activity. Brand recognition can only take you, so far. It sure as hell ain't a money printer, WB would want it to be. And those guys need a major win right now. MK1 won't be that for sure.

Yeah, the fighting in the game itself IS pretty solid, but I did grind out Invasion mode in like 3 or 4 days.
The Switch / PC issues suck and I DO hope that they get resolved quickly for those players.
Kinda weird that aside from maybe the "Squad Up" challenge in the Invasions Tarkatan Colony chugging a bit sometimes that I haven't had any other big issues (for the most part) running MK1 on my potato Series S.

Momma found that I was using her credit card, so I can't play Onslaught now.

Waste of hope. Switch version is non salvageable. The device itself doesn't have enough power to run the game, so it is pure scam. No different from Cyberpunk 2077 and last gen situation few years ago.
And as for PC. Also no reason to expect anything special. PC and Switch are fucked and everyone that remembers how previous titles were treated, will know that as well. Unless those people are stupid enough to STILL think "Maybe, MAYBE THIS TIME IT WILL BE DIFFERENT???"
They took the money and will just sell their kombat packs.
Though something on the positive side. Modding community finally fully cracked the NRS engine and even got Tag Mode (that was hidden within game code) operational. So depending on how in depth modding will be. PC version of MK1, might end up with more features and modes, than any other version. That will be hilarious to watch.

Just for the record, I wasn't making fun of you. I agree with you on most of your points. However, I do think you're approaching overkill at this point. Question: did you return the game or do you still own it?

What's with NRS and Cyrax anyways? MK9 Cyrax is so fucked even an absolute retard can do well with him. You'd think they'd learn but they do it again in MK1....
My personal theory: Ed Boon got wasted in the Arcades when he was playing Cyrax. Now he's making sure every iteration is broken tier.

Neither was I. I have no beef with anyone here. In the end of the day this forum is like a nice tavern to vent or talk shit.
Hmm. Nah. I doubt I am anywhere close to overkill. I am only talking about what I seen or have experienced directly. So wouldn't call that an overkill. Though you could mean a lot of things with that term.
Also a question back: Which game?

MK1 has a ton of shit wrong with, but just off gameplay alone its gearing up to be one of my favorite fighting games I've ever played. Its behind MKX right now, but as the game evolves and new characters are added it very well could be my favorite. Gameplay is what really matters in the end anyway. MK9 had incredible single player content, but I couldn't tell you what fight 72 of the Challenge Tower was. I can however tell you how MK9 Sektor is one of the most fun characters I've ever used in a video game. Thats the part that sticks with me.

I mean, this is the saving grace for MK1 for me as well.
Might also end up being 1 of my favorites as far as the gameplay itself goes.
The kameo system is really fun and trying out different variations of combinations of characters that I probably wouldn't have paired up is also cool.
Can't wait to see what they've done for Tremor this time around.
As a mainly single-player gamer, though, it does feel somewhat dry in the Invasion mode. Breezed right through that shit and the shrine in no time.
Invasions should be like 4 weeks (MAX), imo, and not this 6 weeks in between. Maybe they're trying to cater to FOMO, but after you fight the Invasion bosses and go through the NetherStone gates, there isn't much left to do.

Nevermind, disregard.
What the heck happened here? I've played countless matches with Li Mei and never had this happen...
