RipTen Dojo: Why “Dream Crossovers” Just Don’t Work

RipTen:

Everyone has what they consider a dream match between two athletes or teams. Particularly in martial arts, people will forever argue which combatant would win in a fight, such as Bruce Li vs Jackie Chan, or Muhammad Ali vs Mike Tyson. The idea and debate behind having two people fight from completely different eras or disciplines that would make it impossible for them to do so has long been the subject of fans, and fighting games are no different. There are always going to be fans of the genre that want to see one franchise fight another one, if only in an effort to “prove” that their preferred franchise is better. While recent days have seen games like Street Fighter X Tekken, ideas like blending of the worlds of Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat or Namco vs Capcom are always going to be discussed by fans, among other “dream crossovers.”

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

And then MK1 killed it again.

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

Mortal Kombat: Flawless Victory Announced

A new book detailing the artwork of the franchise has been announced

robtion281d ago

Let me fix this title to something less click baity for you:

New Book: Mortal Kombat: Flawless Victory Announced.

Garethvk281d ago (Edited 281d ago )

The description clearly says what it is. It is not like people have to click to the site. They just have to read.

robtion281d ago

Sure they don't have to go to the site but to get to the description they already have to have clicked on it. Thus the term 'click bait'.

If its a book say its a book in the article title. Everyone’s gonna think this is a new game and get annoyed reading your description.

Garethvk281d ago (Edited 281d ago )

The Mods had no issues with the title.
The first line under the image says new book and you can see it in the preview windows without even having to click to read the description.

It also says a Visual History on the image.

Rebel_Scum281d ago

On desktop and mobile the text a visual history is not visible in the thumbnail on the homepage.

I grew up on this stuff. Adding it to the art collection!

I do hope the next MK iteration goes back to the core of what made these characters appeal in the first place. A few of them lost their edge - I think I've had enough with some of the auntie designs 😂
