Give me a slow-paced fighter that takes some tactics and skill over violently palming your controller while rotating your stick in various directions to just mash your controller faster than the other dude.

To each their own.

Skill? In Mortal Kombat?

"Hold block button, sometimes tap down, wait for opponent to make a move, if he gets too close jump away so you don't get thrown"

That's mortal kombat in a nutshell.

Plus it has the easiest inputs of any game... Well maybe tekken is easier, but don't tell the tekken crew that.

Watch his inputs. Look at all that sweet fucking button mashing he's doing and still doing the combos.

Casual game is casual.

I wouldn't complain too much - it's games like this that will keep the fighting genre popular and thriving.

Eh, at least it's pretty.

Watched some videos of the actual gameplay and it reinforces my previous opinion of the Mortal Kombat series. It is slow.

I have played a few of the past games and hated the controls. Such a delay between pressing and the action

street fighter is by definition slow and you need fundamentals to win, if you are being beaten by mashers you are doing it wrong

I definitely wouldn't call any current Capcom fighter "slow", when compared to Mortal Kombat.

Played it finally. It would be a fun game honestly if it was balanced.

I hate when people say things like this about fighting games.
Do you want every character to be near-equal, and basically just be a skin of 4 basic characters, instead of 25+ unique ones?

Life isn't balanced. Competition isn't balanced. Look at sports. Not every team is equal, some teams are waaaay better than others, and some blow - yet do amazingly against specific teams etc.

(I'd have said the same thing if this wasn't said about MK, and about some other dumb fighting game)
