Against my better judgement, I just bought the Ultimate Edition to play on the PS5.
I'm determined to ignore all the microtransactions and cosmetic garbage and just focus on becoming good at the game. I've been reading and watching a lot of the theory behind becoming a good player so I'm hoping I can stick with it and start winning some online matches.
I love fighting games but I've never pushed myself to become really good. The furthest I ever got was with SFV where I really felt like I was getting a good handle on things and was actually starting to win matches online. But then other things came along and it got left behind.
For me though, I think the core gameplay of Mortal Kombat has surpassed Street Fighter in every way that matters to me.
If anyone fancies some friendly matches, hit me up and we can train together
