I legitimately don't know where the hate for MKX's animations comes from. It and Injustice 2 are better animated than SFV, KoFXIV, MvCi, anything from Jump or any other fighter that uses actual 3D models. It's one of the main draws of Netherrealm games.

I get that the stiff jumpkick and exaggerated falling animation look dated, but those are by design, not because the graphics suck.

Would you all be more open to a SmashBoards online crew battle than a tourney? I think that would be a bit easier to manage for me as of right now.

I mean I don't have the easiest schedule and I'm a little out of practice but whatever I'm in.

That sounds fun. Either or sounds good to be honest, I'm in.

Bad animation being a selling point is a terrible selling point. Stylish Suck doesn't work with fighting games.

If you honestly think MKX and Injustice 2 have better animation than SFV, KoFXIV and MvCI you need to learn basic animation.

I might need some people to actually set up an arena for me due to me not having a Switch. Then I need to think of what the team background would be as well. I can at least work on a ruleset. Not sure what day works, only because school kills me on weekdays.

Seriously? MvCi and SFIV-in-HD? I love those games but if you think they're better animated than Netherrealm games you need to see your optometrist.

Dude is definitely right to an extent and he raises good points, but when he gave this example of how he would do it, 3:15 in
I really could not take him too seriously anymore. I get that it’s a doodle and it’s unfair to dismiss the entire argument like that, but geez.

It mostly comes from this guy's series of videos.
And yeah, the examples he draws are pretty valid I agree. And this same guy recently made a video on MK11 where he said it looks pretty solid animation wise. But I don't think that means that everything in the game is poorly animated. Heck, the game in general looks WAY better than the fighters you listed.

And I know where these flaws in animation stem from. It's definitely the DA-Armageddon era of MK where they used mokap. And ever since NRS have stuck to that style of animation of their games. Which can often look pretty awkward on 3D models even if the movement is realistic so to speak.

Smash Ultimate has better animation than MKX, Injustice 2, SFV, KoFXIV and MvCI. :p

You meant to say: "Why'd you have to do my boy dirty like that?"

You forgot the "dirty".

"Why'd you have to do my boy like that?" is something... different.

Daisy's issue in Ultimate is she only has some hurtbox differences due to some animations.

...That's literally it. She's the most cloney clone that ever been done cloned. Not even Dark Pit can say that.

Pittoo can still say he’s a literal clone when it comes to his character

Damn that **** sucks so damn much. This is like a very bad anime approach to having their own Smash Brawl or something

Oh, I was using slang and assumed people would understand what I meant as I usually do that. Seems like I should fix that bad habit of mine.

You may have problems with those games but they won't be badly animated in a hundred years. I challenge you to try to find an example of bad animation from those games that's worse than anything from MKX's trainwreck

Humans IRL will be badly animated in a hundred years.

Honest to god don't get why and how people would defend the unrealistic, awkward and stuff animation Netherrealm throws out of its ass.

Consider it an extra argument for going vegetarian. After all, the smashboards admins would never lie!

It's not about realism.

It's about showing a purpose, being clear and showing personality.

MKX doesn't do that very well.

My location doesn't even show up on the map.

I'm much too important for that.

(I'm not saying you forgot me, it would have been physically impossible for you to highlight my location).
