Well, that's why I said "physics". Jumps should have some perceived weight and impact to them, animation should be smooth, the timing of button presses and whatnot should be smartly programmed to feel responsive. The 3D Mortal Kombats feels like you're playing a fighting game with a keyboard (I suspect the old ones did too).
Psychics in Mortal Kombat? Shit man, they've had that.

Yeah, but the only other game I can think of that uses physics in that way is Little Big Planet, and that controls like SHIT. And that's a platformer. For the precision you need for a fighter the problem would be twice as bad.Quote:

Well, there's Smash Brothers which plays just fine, but I'm not talking about any sort of actual physics computations.Quote:

I'm talking about the perceived weight and speed of the characters, and how that relates to their own motions and how they react to the motions of other characters.
We're arguing physics in a game where theres a centaur, a monster with four arms, and Johnny Cage? Really?
also: Living Forest.
1. no, no one is "arguing physics"
2. unoriginal
3. you could attempt that defense on any game if described properly
Well, you can run, but there's a button for that.Quote:

If you're playing mk4 you should always have your thumb on the run button.
