: So here's my comments:

: 	Beautiful graphics but I really do miss the "real" people feel
: of the original...  Also, you could make a fantasic film out of the
: first one w/ great plot but now?  Oh, Well.

I think MK ][ is great, but my problem with it is that the characters all move
too fast.  I mean, Midway went through all the trouble of digitizing real
actors motions, but then they speed them up so much that it begins to look
cartoonish again...  For Street Fighter 2, ok you're controlling cartoon
people, so when they make Turbo or Hyper figthing, fine, cartoon characters
zoom all around, but now MK ][.  It just takes away from the realism when you
can drop to you knee, sweep the other player and stand up, all in a fraction
of a second...


: 	Lui Kang was my choice each time since so little of his
: special moves have changed...  But Now!  He's slower and he can't
: nearly compete like before...  No one can realistically say he's
: cheap... I often defeat MK 1 w/ two credits and Lui Kang AND most
: human players(Lui Kang v. Cage still problem!) and now that's gone.
: Well, watching all the others play game after game, I still think
: minor adjustments need to be made to better balance the game(Jax is
: amazing!) buy hey ---  My Humble Opinion!

You think Lui Kang is slower???  He seems just as fast to me...  Perhaps it's
just that the OTHER players all move as fast as he does now...  Yeah, just
SLIGHT adjustments, like the wonderous super slammer where you get tossed 
up and back repeatedly (Kung Lao) and loose half your energy...

Overall, though, I *LOVE* MK][ - it just needs some improvements...
