Or we can just let Fire Emblem rest for a bit and let the other series catch up.I know. I'm just pointing out that a lot of the people who have been constantly complaining about FE's swordfighters are also the ones who hated Corrin getting in Smash.
I don't think those people realize how functionally similar an axe is compared to a sword, or at least in Smash. The weapon is still gonna be swung around the same way a sword would be.
An archer or spear fighter would be preferable.
"I hope we get Edelgard in smash. She has an axe"
it ed
It's not even about letting the other series catch up. I just believe there are plenty of better options to choose from before we touch Eldegard or any other Three Houses rep.Or we can just let Fire Emblem rest for a bit and let the other series catch up.

>editThis is really weird. NRS usually announces their first DLC pack before the game launches, but MK11's is still MIA. That's really strange for them. Makes you wonder how much longer we'll be waiting.
Edit: Oops. Meant to post this on one of my MK forums. I guess you guys can weigh in if you want too.
Schnee's the biggest NRS fan I know so they might be able to provide outlook. I wanted to suggest that it's because they want to wait before demanding money but considering the infamous grind that's blatantly untrue. Perhaps the DLC characters aren't ready yet?This is really weird. NRS usually announces their first DLC pack before the game launches, but MK11's is still MIA. That's really strange for them.

Duality of man has been reaffirmed.
It could also be a PR decision to avoid people getting more aggravated about the Towers of Time grind. This game one-ups Injustice 2 in its microtransaction setup so it's possible they saw the backlash coming.Schnee's the biggest NRS fan I know so they might be able to provide outlook.

You caught me skippy
You can already buy the season pass and the first 6 are included in the Deluxe Edition. Plus, the last two games revealed the first DLC Packs BEFORE the game launched.Schnee's the biggest NRS fan I know so they might be able to provide outlook.

We know Shang Tsung is DLC but that's about it. I feel we could get something this week though, either actual gameplay of Shang or a reveal for some of the other fighters.This is really weird.

Ouch, seeing "Behind Schedule" is rough because turns out someone ****ing DIED at Netherrealm due to their horrible working conditionsIt could also be a PR decision to avoid people getting more aggravated about the Towers of Time grind. This game one-ups Injustice 2 in its microtransaction setup so it's possible they saw the backlash coming.
There's also the possibility that development ran behind schedule, and in order to meet their "every two years" timing they had to finish their DLC later and more heavily monetize the in-game cosmetics for day one revenue generation to appease their corporate overlords.
I'm personally expecting a "Kombat Pack 1" trailer like we got for MKX and I2 in the next few weeks, followed by a Shang Tsung trailer/release date later in the month, or even next month. Then they'll get onto their usual rhythm.We know Shang Tsung is DLC but that's about it.

Only source I can find is this https://www.gamewatcher.com/news/netherrealm-employee-may-have-died-during-injustice-2-crunch and at the top they clearly retract their statement and say they were misinformed.I'm personally expecting a "Kombat Pack 1" trailer like we got for MKX and I2 in the next few weeks, followed by a Shang Tsung trailer/release date later in the month, or even next month.

I couldn't disagree more. I was never even planning on doing Towers of Time and I love the roster. So many of my old favorites came back and I adore the newcomers. Different strokes for different folks I guess.Honestly after having it in my hands for a full week, I can say that on the whole MK11 feels disappointing.
I still like it, I'm glad I bought it, but I don't think I'm going to play it for nearly as long as I did MKX. It's possible my opinion was prematurely swayed by the leaking of the DLC and knowing I'm not really interested in any of them, but in general I don't like the roster as much as MKX or MK9, I don't like the Towers of Time, I don't like the custom moves and multiple currencies, and while the story mode was fantastic as usual, I can only really play that once.
It's a good fighting game but there's way too much Injustice that bled into my Mortal Kombat. MKX is still my favorite one.

Crunch is a big problem in the entire industry. And it's hard to be a paying fan when you know every AAA game you buy was probably made with terrible working conditions.Only source I can find is this https://www.gamewatcher.com/news/netherrealm-employee-may-have-died-during-injustice-2-crunch and at the top they clearly retract their statement and say they were misinformed.
Crunch at Netherrealm is a big issue though.
Yeah it's absolutely my personal opinion, not an objective analysis.I couldn't disagree more. I was never even planning on doing Towers of Time and I love the roster. So many of my old favorites came back and I adore the newcomers. Different strokes for different folks I guess.
The main reason why I'm so hesitant to support FE characters is because I pay attention to more than just the specials. I'm critical of everything. Robin may have been a breath of fresh air, but practically everything outside of his specials involves the sword, which kinda makes him blend in with the rest of the FE crew in that regard.I don't want to get into another Fire Emblem debate, but: I think people put too much weight into what characters hold in their hands.
Yes, Robin and Corrin use their swords a lot, but their specials are reserved to their unique abilities and their swords also have unique properties (two types of swords, charging hitbox). Swapping them for units who only can swing an axe or spear around wouldn't automatically make the roster more interesting.
I can see where you're coming from, even if I don't agree. So many of these guys are my favorites though, and I'm glad they got some spotlight instead of just Mileena, Reptile, and Ermac AGAIN.Yeah it's absolutely my personal opinion, not an objective analysis.
None of the newcomers interested me in the way MKX's did. They almost don't... look like they belong in Mortal Kombat. They look like Injustice OCs. And the classic characters they brought back (and will bring back via DLC) aren't the classic characters I personally wanted.
I like how they experimented with mainstay movesets and in general I think I like the fundamental gameplay changes, but there's nothing hooking me. I'm not finding myself itching to play this game. That makes me sad.
When you do wanna gush about it, we made a thread in the media forum so people don't accidentally get spoiled here.'Guess who just saw Endgame with his sister?
I'm not going to talk about my feelings on the movie right now, since there is like so much that happened and that I want to rest for a bit, but man....

What a movie.
Broke: NRS let a terf play Sonya instead of her previous VAThe best thing about MK11 is how terfs got hella mad because Sonicfox beat up Sonya while saying "TERF!" whenever Geras hit Sonya and because of twitter's deliberate bias to people with checkmarks on their accounts, Sonicfox's tweet cannot be considered harassment
I think at the very least we can agree that it's awesome Liu Kang finally got to be a bad*** again.I can see where you're coming from, even if I don't agree. So many of these guys are my favorites though, and I'm glad they got some spotlight instead of just Mileena, Reptile, and Ermac AGAIN.
I can agree on the newcomers, Kollector is really the only one that feels like an MK character. I like Geras but he does feel out of place, and Cetrion really doesn't do it for me.Yeah it's absolutely my personal opinion, not an objective analysis.
