This is actually pretty big since tons of players spend time to learn characters for tournaments. If they are banned they need to switch strategies and learn a new character before the tournament.

That is a deal breaker for some players.

not really if MK is as strog as some people here imagine, then those characters will be there for the next EVO ..

that is assuming MK is still played

Actually I think it has more to do with money than anything else. Evo being so huge they would have to buy tons of those dlcs which is not something they want to lose money on.

They also get people to donate systems so that makes it unreliable for them to ensure they have ALL the DLC characters.

I didn't disagree with you btw

Redempteur5106d ago

money ?

ROFL ..no way ..

LOL at slow news day. Anyway. Its big news because EVO is the Fighting game Community's "Super Bowl" as far as tournaments goes and the fact that the DLC are banned is big news, considering the fact SSFIV: arcade edition is allowed (even after only being released 2 months before the tournament) and MK DLC characters are not allowed.

I like which ever one, Raiden was speed blasting muthafkers.

I agree. 9 was awesome

Shaolin Monks next please

vTuro24337d ago

Shaolin Monks is a forgotten gem. I would love to see a new one, or a remake of the old.

That game was actually goated. It was the first time ever that I actually tried to get good at a fighting game. Unfortunately the online connection was so dogshit it made it hard to enjoy and eventually I gave up. Haven't really played much fighting games since.

The catched the woke virus after that, saying for MK 10 that "Female Characters Will Be More Realistically Proportioned". You could still rip a spine or blow a head in a bloody explosion, but don't you dare to show a side boob or all hell will break loose.

The ladies in MK9 look like men in drag. They are so buff and their faces are so bad, I don’t feel like we lost anything aside from some sexy costumes. But sexy costumes in drags do not appeal to me.

15 Hardest Final Bosses In Fighting Games

GB: "More than perhaps any other genre, fighting games offer the kind of mechanical depth that you can lose yourself in for years. Learning the ins and outs, learning and perfecting combos, and so many other things that make this one of the most competitive genres in gaming, even on a professional level now. But you don’t have to be playing against another human to be challenged in a fighting game. Throughout the years, this genre has thrown multiple final bosses at us that have got us all collectively pulling our hair out. In this feature, we’ll be taking a look at fifteen such fights."

Isshin the sword Saint was the hardest boss I ever beat. And I've been playing games for 30 years

I went through the clickfest, it's shameful; more than usual that is, lower than gamingbolt standards, Congrats GB you've reached a new low.
