I never really took the time to actually see how much I love fighting games... and to be honest, I really only love one. Mortal Kombat. You see, back in the early 90s, when that game came out, my brother was playing it non stop. We were the Sega Genesis kids mainly because Sega does what Ninten-don't. However, when the N64 came out, I got it, so Nintendo wasn't really that bad of a company for us. Anyways, Mortal Kombat was the only fighting game the two of us really got into. I never really saw my brother take home a Street Fighter game. Not too many of his friends played it either when they came over for their male bonding time.
And as we grew up, neither of us still had a liking for Street Fighter. Now, don't get me wrong here, I don't hate the series, nor do I think Mortal Kombat is superior. These games all have their pros and their cons, but it was just that I grew up with Mortal Kombat and I choose that over Street Fighter any day. I've never really played Street Fighter as much as I did with Mortal Kombat. When I actually do play Street Fighter, I tend to just mash the buttons like crazy and hoping that I do something with that. I don't know why this is, I mean, if I spent most of my time that I do with Mortal Kombat to Street Fighter, I'd probably be somewhat decent. The problem is just that I never really did took the time to look at the character's moves and play the practice mode over and over again until I mastered majority of their moves. Same goes to any of Capcom's fighting games, I just cannot get with it and play it the way it should be played. Their moves to me seem complicated. Sure, most of you who play Capcom's fighting games might be laughing at me, but I really don't mind, I deserve it because hey, I'm not going to be perfect at everything might as well confess it now.
There are other fighting games out there that I tried... well, only one, Soul Calibur, and of course, I had no fucking clue what I was doing. To be honest, I only got the game because of their create a character mode, and from what I saw, I really liked it. But after I actually tried to play the game, I still had no fucking clue what I was doing.
Mortal Kombat really is the only fighting game I can get into. It's not because it's simple to learn everything, but I just really love the way it plays... despite that it's simple to learn everything is a key factor to why I like it. I shouldn't really have to be ashamed that I can't pick up Street Fighter and all those other fighting games, it's just that for some reason that kind of style never stood out nor have I ever took the time to actually sit down and play the game. With Mortal Kombat, I did so, and becuase of that, I really have a fun time defeating my brother every now and then, as well as defeating my friends.
And, the only reason why I decided to make a blog about my personal life with fighting games for this week is because I'm kinda in a brain-farting mood. I really couldn't decide what game to review this time and well... I guess I could start reviewing some nostalgic games for next week's blog thingy...
I'm still also trying to find some way to make video blogs... maybe over the summer probably... as well as my psychology project that has me talking about how women are portrayed in video games... and it's not going to be the feministic view either. I really don't want to do that. I'm rambling.
