Message: [QUOTE="RanmyakuIchi, post: 119443, member: 3099"] Not certain I can agree with gameplay getting too complex. If anything MK3's gameplay felt a bit behind the times on release as Capcom and SNK were beginning to dabble in super meter and desperation super moves. It's used to be something of a meme in the FGC that Midway and MK were terrified of the concept of Super moves. I wholeheartedly agree with matters of presentation and roster, however. MK2 had such a great art direction and classic roster, MK3 got pulled through the ringer on this even on release. No Scorpion, really? Single Player UMK3 is a complete mess too, and I say that as someone who can 1cc MK2. Just complete nonsense CPU. Despite all this, I still think it holds up reasonably well when played at a high level. It's a bit busted balance-wise, but that's pretty par for the course for 90s arcade fighting games. Run jab meta lends itself to some surprising fun Yomi, and the combo system is pretty player expressive once mastered. I don't think it's the greatest by any means, I just feel it's got more potential then people often see. [/QUOTE]
