100% combos aren’t necessarily a bad thing. Makoto vs Akuma in 3rd Strike, Makoto has a 100% off of a command grab. 100% combos that you can start off of anything and are brain dead to execute, however, are. The example above requires her to be closer to the wall than her opponent, have one meter, have picked the required super (you choose between 3 in that game), and the opponent allow Akuma to be command grabbed (not amazingly easy since his game is very fast-paced and his close standing Fierce Punch is throw-invulnerable). I think most people consider the match-up to be 6-4 in Makoto’s favor (so, in other words, still close), and that’s with the 100% combo.

Truth be told, most pre-SF4 fighters have 100% combos. In Super SF2 Turbo, I think half the cast has a touch-of-death combo of some sorts. Even Cammy, and she’s one of the worst characters in the game if not THE worst character in the game at this point.

I never studied MKTrilogy, but I’ve never heard that game talked about nicely. 😛

Yeah, it could have used some more levels, I think.

I did feel the story was pretty well put-together. I liked it, at least. A little cliche but it played with the tropes for that sort of thing a bit.

You’re right. I probably should have said “same setting.”

One of my first fighters was Mortal Kombat Trilogy on the N64. I think Noob Saibot had a 100% combo. That game was fucking crippled.
