Mortal Kombat Vs. DC Universe Is Either Going To Be The Greatest Thing Ever, Or The Worst

vortis | October 05, 2008 | Blog | Playstation 3 XBOX 360 
An article about the possibility of Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe being unbalanced and unfun. The author writes about the character imbalance provided by both sides and how the story seems far fetched, even for Mortal Kombat.
The fact of the matter, though, is that this DC Universe game doesn’t have enough well-rounded characters to really sell the crossover in the first place. Checking out the new list, DC is throwing in fan-favorites like Superman, Green Latern and the Flash, but leaving less powerful Joes like Sgt. Rock, Lobo, and Sandman out of the mix because they may not have the appeal of a Batman, Wonder Woman or a Darkseid.

    Wait, what? I thought the only thing people cared about in this game are MK characters. DC sucks.

      That's just opinion. I'd take Joker and Deathstroke over Kano and Kitana any day.

      That's why it will be fun to do fatalities on them

          Apparently he throws a type of sensor at the enemy and then a load of bats fly at them, clawing and beating them until they KO.

          So feel free, I'm sure Joker will find it tickly XD

          Wait, what? I thought they took out fatalities for this game...there's a 'fatality factor,' but nothing gruesome.

          What sucks is the choice of characters from both sides. It's a short roster, though each brand has more than 100+ characters to offer.

          MK characters + DC villains will have fatalities, killing their opponent.

          DC heroes will have brutalities, which is like a fatality but doesn't kill the opponent.

          And, to be fair, is it not better to have a small, well worked on group of iconic characters then a cluster-*bleep* of broken random ones?

          Actually last time I check Tiger, it was all DC characters having brutalities and MK having fatalities. At least thats what the article stated about it months ago.

          Maybe, but the roster is crap. Who cares about Jax or Catwoman? Many of the liked DC/MK characters didn't make the cut. Ah well, perhaps we'll get some DLC for others, or if this does well, a sequel.

          Actually last time I checked Final Blade, I saw Joker shooting Kitana in the head, thus killing her, and the words fatality appearing on the screen. Articles months ago aren't really the best source, since there was an article in the early stages stating there would be NO fatalities whatsoever. Besides, Joker is a homicidal maniac more often then not, so why would he not kill? Deathstroke is a mercenary/hitman, so why would he not kill? etc. Only DC heroes have brutalities as they don't actually kill, thus keeping them in character.

          I think Jax wasn't the best move either, but perhaps he has a big fanbase around. And Catwoman... well, the only word that comes to mind when thinking about why she is in is fanservice, plain and simple

          I don't view Youtube for that. The news I know is articles posted around the web, so thats why I know I remember seeing DC brutalities, and MK fatalities.

          Funny, since the original was a gamestrailer article and there have been a fair few articles about it around the web. Why is it so hard for you to admit fault? Even the littlest, unimportant things? You were wrong, that's it, no big deal, so don't try and give pathetic excuses, it's just... well, pathetic

    Well I basically only play MK because of fatalities.Take out the fatalities and you have a crappy fighting game.

    This is a rather stupid article. He's basically saying it would be stupid for a awesome guy like Superman to die to someone like Scorpion. That's like saying Yoda should never lose to anyone in Soul Calibur 4 because he is a Jedi Master. If I had to chose between unbalanced characters and seeing the Flash beaten beyond comprehension because he isn't as 'Super' as he is in the show/comics I would take the second choice any day of the week without hesitation.

    Not all DC characters will not do fatalities.If a DC character doesn't kill in the comics then he/she will not have a fatality.Those who do kill will have a fatality.
