​HOW THE SEQUEL CAN TOP THE ORIGINAL

​

After doing more work for the upcoming series of WELÇOME©(AYYEEEEEE SERIES 003 COMING SOON), I've been thinking how has this series top the previous entries. It made me think of sequels I deemed better than the original and I found there were two key factors that can make the sequel surpass the original.

I. ABILITIES

I specifically remember playing MORTAL KOMBAT II for the SEGA GENESIS (nope I'm not that old, I was that young lol) and I almost instantly declared that it was better than the original. Due to the new character Kung Lao and his iconic move of throwing his hat, it was something I never seen before. In addition to knocking your opponent into a pool of acid or into a pit of spikes, MK II showed gruesome brutality at another level.

​

II. AWARENESS

This factor brings me to the days of TEKKEN 2. I didn't end up playing the original until after the second one released and I don't think many people in my radius even knew what TEKKEN was. However TEKKEN 2 was a different animal, the universe was expanded by a deeper story, a parallel animated movie, and the effect of word of mouth help cultivate TEKKEN 2 from cult hit to icon status.

My girl Sade Adu once said "It's Never as Good as the First Time" and in most cases she's correct, but when you can experience a second coming throughly surpassing the original, it is truly a moment to be cherished.
