Mortal Kombat Combo Video by Me

Of course a masher can beat a newbie or a scrub. They have equally no idea as to what is going on and unless they decide to space and punish (which they probably won't because they're too busy trying to do moves that they like as opposed to winning) the masher is going to have a much better chance of scoring damage. That is for any game.

You say that MK isn't a masher because each button controls a limb, but Tekken does the same yet you put it as the second masher friendliest game. Mashing Tekken juggle BTW means that youre doing maybe 30-40dmg as opposed to 70-120 (pending walls). Mk is just as juggle happy.

MUGEN style? The versus series has been around long before mugen had a single line of code implemented. In fact mugen derived from the versus series.

I Put Tekken as 2nd because there are characters on that game that can mash extremely well ( eddy gordo , christie , steve fox etc.) and the juggle system on that game doesn't seem to have a limit so it's possible to do 75% damage combos with a lot more ease .

MK is patched to where everytime you do a hit in the air they drop to the ground 1 and a half times as fast as they would before and and dont go as high so it's rare to do anything over 42-45% without throwing in your x-ray or ultimate move .

I said Mugen because some people don't know how old that style is , but instead they go on youtube and see a poo ton of mugen games that all look exactly like MVC .. So as to help others that come across this post can see what i'm trying to say but we can call it whatever.

Also with tekken I did say that tekken was the same in terms of limb fighting , but it also as a fug ton more moves to do some characters have over 120 moves where mk characters tend to have no more than 15 or 16 so a lot more combinations of moves will work so button mashers have a better chance of doing the right ones.

Forgot to mention the Tekken ground game: getting knocked down in Tekken and not knowing how to get up against certain characters is death XD

Lmao I know right XD .. I can't tell you how many times i've gotten run over online because I have too many morals and let people get up and get out of the wall while when I get knocked down they are still beating the tar out of me :p

Man I'm late for the MvC button mashing debate.

It's the best game though. Also MK is a button masher game as well. Technically all of them are. Except for, no all of them are. But who cares if it's that way. That's why I play with my bro's not randoms that think they are the poo because they button mash the hell out of whatever character they choose.

Power Stone was a great game, I wish that game would be re-made for new age consoles. Anyone remember power stone?

Was that before or after Killer Instinct?

That was after KI. Power stone was for the Sega Dreamcast. A shame not a lot of people got to play it. The Dreamcast was so under rated. Power stone came out sometime in the early 2000's. It was a free roaming fighter.

I loved the dreamcast .. the fighter I played on there was Psychic Force I believe it was called .. game was AWESOME.

Tekken juggle formula has each move doing less and less damage.70%+ is only coming if somebody ate a counterhit or a big launcher (that can usually be launched in response) into full wall carry and even then, its not very often. If you eat 70% in Tekken you usually deserve it :p

As for mk juggle system, kenshi juggles involve popping people back up just as high. Kung Lao was also doing 70%+ when the game first came out.

Some characters in Tekken have more strings which makes it seem easier to do stuff mashing. In the case of chreddy they have a few strings where they go low and mid and if a player doesn't know the string they'll take damage. However, people familiar with the game will low parry and punish the strings because they won't randomly eat the low. I hate playing chreddy mashers because there is absolutely zero challenge. Just dash in and Korean backdash out to get the tazmanian devil started and when they start spinning and flipping stuff a big launcher down their throat. Then of course they're knocked down and either do get up kicks or roll backwards usually which means yet another free whiff punisher into a dead character.

Point I'm trying to make is that mashers vs scrubs is always in the mashers favor due to being constantly putting moves out on the screen. For any game. However learning how to do a basic combo and how to apply attacks (ie: hwoarang jf skyrocket a mashing chrEddy in the taint to lead to at least 40%+ into a the wall combo for even more damage or into a spike that will lead to getting juggled again if you move and try to immediately get up) will be more than enough.

Ive been having this debate with random people for the last decade :p in the infamous words on the panthers section from every new member over the age of 30 w/ POP warner experience and no social skills: trust me d00d I kno wut iam talking aboot

no if you're some pro nerd and you know what you're doing you probably won't take as many WTF losses.

but button mashing can take you further in MvC than in any other game. its not up for debate it's how the game was designed how do people not realize this.

Lol @ pro nerd. Maybe if they're a guilty gear or blazblue player, or one of those people that sits in their recliner watching football in all of their glorious pit stains.

The only time mahvel ever promotes mashing is when a super/move requires it for more damage or as the input itself (ie: mvc2 hail storm, mvc3 skrull tenderizer).

If the game was designed for mashing, how come mashers never take top 8 at major tournaments?

How is mashing going to beat a zoning/run away team?

why are ya'll so insecure over this?

if the game is somehow accessible to everyone does it diminish the fact you waste 8 hours a day playing it to get marginally better? nope. you're still a "winner". calm down for christ's sake.

[God]

SFIV and MvC3 are both amazing but I refuse to play either with my xbox controller. Gonna splurge for a fightstick soon though.

[Icege]

If anybody looks insecure, its the poster calling people nerds and assuming that they don't work, have classes, and a social life to keep up with as opposed to being able to debate the contents of what was posted ;)

Just accept that you're ignorant about the game and the genre. No shame in not knowing as it isn't exactly as important as being able to communicate with other people without being a mindless troll. Pretending that you have a clue doesn't make you look any cooler on a message board though, especially when you're wrong and incapable of supporting your opinion.
