Re: Big-ass spoiler warning: Mortal Kombat 11 aftermath discussion
Well, deep is subjective, because MK fans will probably say that there's depth in MK's as well. But the depth in MK lies in the custom variations, what moves you equip your characters with, and chaining basic combo strings together. But admittedly, I also don't know the MK system inside and out the way I know other games. For me, depth is about differences in the way characters play when compared to each other, and the metagame also, which is why I love Samurai Shodown so much. The game is simple, there aren't tons of mechanics and systems to memorize. But the metagame is super deep because you have to be careful and read your opponent much more so than in some other modern games. Tekken also, for a couple reasons. Characters don't have special moves, but instead have dozens of single techniques and some basic strings, that the game then leaves to you to string together for juggles or damage, etc. Spacing, side stepping, etc is also very important, so movement is a bigger deal. But again, MK fans and more competetive players would know better than me, this is just my own personal opinion. I simply personally don't get as great a sense of layered complexity in MK as I do from other games.
