What a shock.

This is like one of the only few games on ps1 that has bad loading times
Congratulations, you discovered one of the differences between solid state cartridges and optical media.

PS1's disc drive was awful, I remember praying every time I booted it up, 6 out of 10 times the game wouldn't load.
Then I learned the upside-down trick but it still had issues, and the loading times in most games were terrible.

... almost every PS1 game had terrible loading times, except for a few that did a specific workaround, like the empty corridors in SOTN they put there for the game to have time loading the next level.
Have you played any of the Capcom fighting games on the PS1? They have atrocious long loading times.

And chopped down animation. And in the case of the VS series the freaking tag team system removed because there wasn't enough RAM to hold 4 characters' worth of sprites.

I'm not even getting into that - but stuff like Street Fighter Collection (with SF2 and Alpha 2), titles the PS1 could handle without chopping the animation, they still had extremely long loading times.
>>3368201
That was an issue on all CD based consoles that had MK games up until Trilogy.
>>3368582
Ok let me rephrase myself, no GOOD fighting games
Also a good lot of the games you listed are not "fighting games", they're arena games and wrestling games

Mustard race, coming through!

feck you, KI Gold (and any KI) is better than MK.
>>3368701
Fighters Destiny, Mace: The Dark Age and War Gods were all good.
>>3368769
KI Gold wasn't a bad game perse but whether you prefer it or MK is really subjective, I'd put it on the same level of game as MK 4, so tomato tomato...I've always been more of an MK guy but I'm not going to insult Killer Instinct
Also, if the only console you had was N64 of course you're going to put it up on a pedestal
>>3368776
Do you really believe that or are you just saying that because you had no choice? Would you honestly play any of those before you'd play the likes of the Soul series, Tekken, or any of the Capcom fighting games of the day?
Maybe those games weren't exactly hot garbage or anything, but surely you can recognize the fact that they were certainly outclassed by fighting games on other consoles

>Also, if the only console you had was N64 of course you're going to put it up on a pedestal
Nah, I had PS1 first and then also got a Saturn, I also had a 3DO.
All the 5th gen MKs were bad, and really, the only good ones are MK2 and UMK3. "Good" as in "I enjoyed them as a kid, fatalities were rad".
KI I still like, it's more similar to traditional fighting games.
i wouldn't really compare MK4 to KI Gold, way off.
