The Mortal Kombat Thread

Really though, I'll have to keep an eye on Twitter or MK's youtube tomorrow, so the four characters aren't spoiled in the format.
Looking at you, Maxmilian.
Friggin'
Listing all the characters in the damn title.
 
~And if you ever saw it~

~You would even say it blows~

YOU AWAY
 
got it

One of them is BEOWULF.

One day I will see it there. one day...

I'm thinking maybe the guy on the center-right could be the police-soldier guy I always forget the name of.
 
It's super obvious by now, but it at least is now official that there's a second wave of DLC konfirmed

New characters and costumes, plus a new stage
 
got it
[Baraka, Sweet Tooth, Master Chief, Bo' Rai Cho]
When I saw the silhouettes, I also thought the far left was probably Baraka, and the far right was The Worst Character in Mortal Kombat.

I'm mystified how he got past the concept stage.
NRS intern: I got a character idea! I marathoned a bunch of Farrelly brothers movies over the weekend and I thought, how about a fat dude that fights by puking, farting, and belching? Let's make him so gross and annoying, but everyone treats him like a serious martial arts grandmaster. I call him "Fuk Yu."
NRS boss: Brilliant! But let's name him after the Spanish word for drunk, "borracho" but then stretch it out so it is vaguely Asian.
NRS intern: Bo' Rai Cho!

Also I just realized that this kinda debunks the Xenomorph, none of them have an oblong head.
Unless like, suddenly at the end the damn thing drops from the ceiling as a surprise.
True, but if you position the alien so you face it dead-on front, you could conceal how long the head is. However, the silhouette is missing the crazy collarbone shapes a Xenomorph drone has, but it is still plausible.
 
In all honesty, they did make Bo Rai Cho much more likeable in the story mode.
Hell, they thinned him up a bit and made him look all nice and presentable.
 
Anyone think we'll get the trailer today?
I hope so.
Can't take much more of Ed playing with my heart.
Ed is the devil with your heart as the fiddle.
Though torment and agony he may cause
listen to such sweet music he crafts and molds
and in your faded last breath you whisper different name four times
And the audience stands and cheers for an Encore... in the pale moon light.

Bo Rai Cho was also voiced by Steve Blum in the story mode
that's a good sign
 
the new DLC is not arriving until 2016

thinking a trailer would happen this early is a bit silly
 
I was gonna get the PS3 version, but after hearing it was cancelled I'm quite upset.
 
Again, it's a bit early to have a trailer when said content won't be until early-ish next year, no?
 
They showed us the Shilouttes, they've gotta be meaning to tell us who' we're getting in the pack. Especially since the "Tomorrow" thing with Ed, and they did say Big News this week.
but then again that was probably just the announcement that it was coming
 
Or it could be a metaphor for...uh...taking your turn to take a piss on the game? No...uh...iunno, a bidedal newcomer would be interesting. It's gonna weird to do fatalities on them though. How's Goro's or Kitana's gonna work? I'm still a little bugged about Bug lady and Predator having human skeletons and organs, so this idea of a dog-newcomer is weird...

He could be hinting at nightwolf. Cause...dogs, and its...during the day? Iunno, its a bit of the a stretch I guess, but there was the pit and the moon stuff earlier.
 
Female character confirmed. :PUN:

Bipedal means two legs. :P

I honestly don't know what to take out of that picture.
 
bipedial, duh. What am I even on this morning to not be able to read things correctly? :/
 
dogs...moon....encore....

Nightwolf? Wolfman? Announcement on the day of the full moon?
 
HUMAN CENTIPEDE
I KNEW IT

No really, how do you make that work for fatalities and stuff?
 
THe Pit prominently features the Moon.
So.
It was a taese about the Pit
But it could also bea Nightwolf Tease.
I'd be down for Nightwolf witha variation where he turns into a wolf.
 
Maybe, just maybe
and this is a super far-reaching guess
but maybe
once in a while
he actually uses the twitter
to just post silly pictures????

EXCUSE ME?
HE HAS THE MK LOGO AS HIS PICTURE
SO PEOPLE WOULD THINK IT'S OFFICIAL MK STUFF
AND POSTS SILLY PICTURES FROM LIKE FACEBOOK?!?
AND WE KEEP CONSIDERING THIS STUFF ATTENDIBLE?!?
 
So we're not getting a teaser or anything soon eh?
 
If it is anything like the release of the game, we won't hear anything until late November.
 
MKX and the season pass are on sale on Steam until Monday. Can anyone here tell me about the current state of the PC version? I've been itching to try it for a while, but avoided it due to the launch issues.

Reportedly it got better.

Can't say much more because I didn't have many problems to begin with (got lucky for once), but the few little ones I did have were mostly fixed.

Online is still hit-and-miss though, but I'm having fun.
 
i just got it for 12$ on g2a

haven't tried online yet, gotta hit that lab
 
Holy fuck I completely forgot about the Game Awards, glad ole' Boony reminded us.
I hope they'll be as good as last year.
Undertale got like 3 nominations so I'll inevitably be salty as fuck when it gets none of them lmao
MK X also better get fighting game of the year.
 
Nooooooo, Skullgirls: 2nd Encore for fighting game of the year.

*looks at 4 nominees*

Wow, they couldn't come up with 5 nominees like all the other categories?

Anyways, as for MKX... here's hoping there is someone new for "Who's next." Someone to surprise the fans instead of some far-tangent crossover pandering.
