Tag Mode. Way better story, it was silly obviously but done well and enjoyable to play through. MKX made a lot of visual and gameplay improvements but I still prefer MK9 as an overall package.

mortal kombat 9 undid the last 10 something years of garbage mortal kombat games and brought back the games people actually cared about

then mortal kombat 10 brought a lot of those stupid things back and is full of DLC crap

>>334457308
MK9 didn't take itself too seriously, whereas MKX did. Kombat Kids don't mesh with the tone of the series at all. MK is basically a saturday morning cartoon plot with the occasional shit gets real episode and while MK9 had some serious faults (sindel killing most of the roster for plot convenience), it still had a better cast of characters and effectual villians like Shao Khan.

Mechanically, MKX seems to be superior though.

How is MKX mechanically better than 9?
>>
>>334460963
Why, because her appearance fits her personality way better and fits the pseudo Asian visual aesthetic more now?

>>334461270
explain why then.

>>334460851
>>How exactly do the Kombat kis not fit the tone?
Mortal Kombat is about ninjas, military people and kung fu warriors battling aliens from other dimensions and murdering the fuck out of them. MKX, suddenly it's family drama, Kung Jin angsting about being a homo, Jackie doing...something and Cassie going through a minimalist hero's journey set up that doesn't really feel good because Shinnok was heavily underutilized and spent most of the plot being trapped so Cassie's victory feels cheap, especially due to last minute powers (like Korra S1).

I can't think of anything entertaining pertaining to the Kids, either.
>>
>>334457308
MKX has a shit story, adds a ton of interesting characters just so they could job to Fag Force Four.
The game looks like a shitty Michael Bay movie and its full of memes, overall.

And when I remember the hype threads ;_;
>>
>>334457308
Because it was a fresh MK game after like a decade of shit. MKX tried to recapture the magic but failed miserably. MK9 not only reinvented the MK series, but revolutionized fighting game in way that it was the first fighting game to give you a substantial single player content.

If fighting games aren't copying its story mode, they are failing to appeal to casuals, and are going to fail as a business practice, because the FGC is too small (look at SFV sales.)

Faggot, your first MK game was X, get the fuck out of here.
>>
>>334462251
I was really hyped for Kotal, Erron, D;vorrah and the return of Shinnok. Too bad they were mostly irrelevant.
>>
>>334457308
I'd say that the most noticeable difference is how much WB meddled with MKX compared to MK9.
>>
No Kotal Kahn.

Which sucked.
