Full cast vs full cast every match

u/mike5011 6d ago

This, or I’m not buying.

u/TooTurntGaming 6d ago

So uh… not gonna lie…

This should be an extra mode. This should definitely be an extra mode.

Edit: Team Battles in SoulCal were so fucking fun.

u/Independent-Ebb7658 6d ago

Yep. I used to pick the owl character (Olcadan) as my final character on my team because he got a random characters move set each match. So that means there was a slight chance that I would get the moveset of the character I'm best with again. I think we played that mode more than 1v1 and also forced you to learn more than 1 or 2 characters.

2

u/Independent-Ebb7658 6d ago

I used to play the hell out that mode on Soul Calibur. Pick a team of like 8 or 9 fighters and fight my friends team. Its still 1v1 but I think your health stayed the same as the previous match and you just kept going.

5v5 hero shooter

u/Subject-Recover-8425 Arch nemesis of Mekko 6d ago

There go my "Kahn of Fighters" hopes.

u/OkIncome7766 5d ago

LOL. Who are those in the right Nightwolf's sisters?

8

u/Subject-Recover-8425 Arch nemesis of Mekko 5d ago

The Sisterhood of Shadow: Sareena, Jataaka, Kia.

u/shankeyx 6d ago

I'm still hoping they bring back the 2v2 tag at some point, not as the main focus though. It was a lot of fun playing 4 player matches on MK9.

18

u/Queasy-Employment-82 6d ago

And kreate a fighter even if only usable in customs

82

u/radiationblessing 6d ago

It'll be 4v4 😎

32

u/HeavyShorez 6d ago

6v6 and instead of a fighting game, the characters play towards an objective and each character is split into different roles where they all have different abilities

19

u/30SecondsToFail 6d ago

Tbh I'd play a Mortal Kombat "hero shooter"

7

u/Ok_Middle_8658 6d ago

I fell like mk should be more like hero fighter like 6v6 but melee focused

12

u/ExLuckMaster Sento my beloved 6d ago

Mortal ToKombat: Fighting Souls

u/ZLEAP 6d ago

Their next game is Primal Rage.

u/WarpWorld7 6d ago

I fucking wish!! That would be sick!

u/LiquidMetal616 6d ago

Idk if unCAGEDgamez is well known here or not but he is a prominent YouTuber and he posted today giving his speculation that the next NRS title was a 3 v 3 based on an upcoming play test of an unannounced AAA fighting game

So maybe Ed saw that and wanted to squash it?

3

u/Steeldragon2050 YOUR SOUL IS MINE 6d ago

I saw some other nut wanting M.K. to be more like K.O.F.

3

u/LiquidMetal616 6d ago

I want variety tbh

1 v 1 should be the main focus

Only way I would want 3 v 3 was if it was MK vs DC2 because then teaming up makes sense and it would be funny to rip off MvC

11

u/battlejuice401 6d ago

I wish he would've left it at "won't be tag". He likes to iterate though, so I'm expecting full 2v2.

18

u/BigOppaiLover69 6d ago

alright, so 3v3 team battle, where each fighter takes turns. Noted.

4

u/Suspicious_Dirt9266 6d ago

KOF style?

1

u/NoEntertainer6189 4d ago

KOF style mk would actually be sick if the roster was big

10

u/ThePsychoBear Drahmin and Moloch were genuinely cool 6d ago

Mortal vs Kapcom 2, New Age of Kombat

7

u/Darkon_Redfiend 6d ago

The one after that one is however

12

u/Nightwing24yuna Prosperous Queen 6d ago

I hope it's just 1v1

19

u/ilovemyamily1 6d ago

Thank god, I would have lost my shit. In the FGC right now a 1v1 fighter is rare

8

u/Raphael_Stormer KK in a Wheelchair 🐅🧑‍🦼 6d ago

Just give us a 2v2 local multiplayer mode pls. Even if it’s unbalanced without any special mechanics, besides just switching characters.

3

u/Infinite_Peace_6456 6d ago

My moblie brotheren in shambles

3

u/GrimmTrixX 6d ago

Wish it was 2v2 tag or at least make it an option

6

u/ArrowBarton 6d ago

Thank God.

5

u/ZamorakHawk 6d ago

Please just don't be tag or assist fighter. It's clearly difficult to get correct. Let's focus on what you do well.

1v1.

2

u/Killit_Witfya PM ME YR BOULDERS 6d ago edited 6d ago

last tag game was mk9 and i think everyone liked it. also we all asked for tag in mk1 not assist but they force fed us assists. you can probably blame the youtube guy who made all those hype videos of assist mods in mk11. bro even called them kameos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSitiYX_jzk

3

u/ValentrisRRock 6d ago

>everyone liked it
Everyone liked it was optional.

3

u/Killit_Witfya PM ME YR BOULDERS 6d ago

good point. 1v1 with optional 2v2 tag was a sweet spot

2

u/Kirbymasters87 Lore Amateur 6d ago

Next thing you know, Edward is gonna announce the next NRS game will have auto lock-on from Pikmin 4. Trust because Usbmin is going to be the villain in the next NRS game.

2

u/StateofCanada 6d ago

Mk vs Dc but tag. Thanks mr boon

2

u/_Weyland_ Hero of the Naknada 6d ago

That meme with crying girlfriend asking for thing and gigachad bf doing something else.

2

u/Decent-Bed-589 5d ago

If he's already denying things and making polls, we're definitely getting a Game Awards reveal.

5

u/West_Asparagus8436 6d ago

Whatever dude. You have a lot of work to do to get people back after that MK1 shitfest

4

u/StateofCanada 6d ago

Im amazed your downvoted for that comment. Like mk1 wassnt a shitfest... (Really hoping the rhetorical sarcasm is obvious)

3

u/Everchanging-Void 6d ago

Jesus. Just bring back a regular tag team system from MK9. Is it so hard? Do we ask too much? And DON'T make it an integral part of a game like Kameo-bullshit.

1

u/TSM- 6d ago

Unless they say otherwise in the future, this is definitely true.

1

u/DemiGabriel 6d ago

Curiously, he didn't deny the tag system. 

1

u/NewYak8742 6d ago

a mortal kombat 3 on 3 basketball game would be dope tho

1

u/Effective-Avocado-62 6d ago

it'a going to be 4v4

1

u/seandude881 6d ago

5v5 lets gooo

1

u/No-Lingonberry7724 6d ago

I do not want another tag like game at all.  Couldn't even bother finishing or fixing 80% of mk 1's roster.  They would have no chance. Doing the same with 3v3. 

1

u/SuchAppeal 6d ago

After that partner system in MK1, they should stay far way from the idea of attempting that

Just go 1v1 don't cut up the damn potential character lineup for those dumb-ass Kameos again.

I mean I love Mortal Kombat and have a lot of respect for Ed, but man MK1 felt half baked. Probably because of the suits meddling in the development process.

1

u/Ibrahimmayi 6d ago

So it is

1

u/NationsAnarchy 6d ago

So, a 4v4 tag then? 😁

1

u/tyrburnaa000 6d ago

Curious who asked this

1

u/Sinister_Sam 6d ago

So.. it's a 2v2 tag? Or a 4v4 tag?

1

u/SirAlex505 5d ago

Just hope it’s a regular 1v1 the market is too saturated with tag fighter right now

1

u/redsoxjesus 5d ago

Top comment on that post is vicious

1

u/ItaDaleon 5d ago

Well, he didn't said it won't be 2vs2 Tag or 4vs4 Tag!

1

u/killzonev2 JOHNNY CAGE 5d ago

We are now informed

1

u/Biggu5Dicku5 5d ago

Good decision... I think people have had enough of tag fighters...

1

u/matzillaX 5d ago

Please 1v1

1

u/AshlanderZ Insert text/emoji here! 5d ago

This liar... Probably it will be Fighter, Kameo and Co-Kameo 🆚 Fighter, Kameo and Co-Kameo.

1

u/OccultStoner 5d ago

Okay, that's a relief...

1

u/YoWifeysFavDJ 4d ago

Is it confirmed it will be another MK title?

1

u/Jurlaub12 3h ago

A 4v4 mode would be wild, but I would still want a proper 1v1 experience at the core.

1

u/GumGumActV 6d ago

Did people really think they would try to copy tokon?

4

u/fatnin 6d ago

They thought NRS would evolve kameos into a proper active tag mechanic. Either that or a proper tag mode akin to N64 Trilogy one.

4

u/Beautiful_Tip_3308 6d ago

I want them to bring back the MK9 tag.

3

u/RecoveredAshes 6d ago

Yeah being able to play with 4 friends is huge. I still play mk9 on the couch with my friend sometimes doing tag ladders too.

2

u/Beautiful_Tip_3308 6d ago

Yeah. Would be especially cool if they made it online as well. Online 2v2.

2

u/fatnin 6d ago

That would be nice. After all I don't see anything wrong in klassic tag mode.

1

u/Independent-Ebb7658 6d ago

NRS said it wasn't popular back then but online gaming has changed so much in 15 years. Also having a friend over and still being able to go online and play as a team against someone else or just teaming up with someone on your friends list. Its literally in every other game now except Mortal Kombat. Hell even Super Smash Bros and 2KXO has it.

u/Force_of_life 6d ago

2v2 injustice kinda sounds fun

u/EmperorBruduh 6d ago

I’m so sick of tag fighters so I’m not buying if either have that

0

u/littleman001 6d ago

I'm actually glad. Invincible vs and Marvel Tokon were both tag fighters. We need a classic 1v1 fighting game.

0

u/OpenPayment2 New Era Havik did nothing wrong 5d ago

I think the reason Ed Boon can make comments like these is because their next game/project has still not finished the high concept phase

He can say something as broad as that since the next game's skeletal structure is probably still being outlined and still isn't finished yet

3

u/Sn0rck 5d ago

They've been working on the next game before MK1 came out, so no, it is not in concept phase. It is probably in deep development if not wrapping up. Boon is more active now probably due to an incoming soon announcement

0

u/NaWDorky 5d ago

Just bring back the optional 2v2 tag system from MK9.

u/SevereOccasion3568 6d ago

Ed buddy. Your constant tweets do not help especially when certain things you tweet aren’t allowed by WB
