The Mortal Kombat Thread

Mortal Kombat X gives players the ability to choose from multiple variations of each character impacting both strategy and fighting style.
Yo does this mean we'll have more than just Alternate Costumes?
Like.
An aside, would we be able to play as Jax with regular arms, Jax with Cyber Arms, OR ZOMBIE JAX?!

Either way I like the sound of This in particular
 
Those were already a thing last game. Granted, they were alternate costumes and a Kombat Kode mode, respectively, but they were all playable in MK9.
 
Sektor and Cyrax played slightly differently depending on whether they were in their human or robot form in MK9. I assume it will be something like this, but for all characters this time.
 
I'm not sure that's going to be the case, but there isn't any other info on the character variation stuff at the moment. For all we know, it could be the second coming of gems.
 
Didnt past MK-titles already had that? I remember you could switch fighting styles even in battle in the older 3D-MK's, like Deadly Alliance and Armageddon. Never played those, but I've seen gameplay and you could see characters switching styles and using different weapons with it. Think it will be like that, it will be basically the same character but with 3 different movesets for example. You can choose wich one you want. Would be kinda cool, since you cannot expect your enemies moves until your in the match. But on the other hand, only one style would be used competitively, the one who is the best dealing with most others.

We have more than that. We have MK9 and Injustice as evidence for shitty gameplay.

I'm a fan of Mortal Kombat but I won't let that hinder my evaluation of games objectively. You can be biased all you want, but a shitty game is a shitty game. Just look at Netherrealm's past works.

Says he's evaluated the games objectively, makes a subjective claim.

He's too euphoric to come down to our pleb level and explain himself.
 
Actually I feel Netherrealm is one of the few companies that learns a lot from each game. If you really look you can see that the majority of sequels have been(maybe not better) a huge improvement mechanics wise in regards to the last. They don't seem to get too attached to certain mechanics, if it doesn't work they drop it, if it did, they try to improve on it, and I think that's great.
 
Liked the trailer, too bad the music was truly awful.

Anyway, I'm hyped about this new MK. A bit strange to see Sub-Zero here (according to events in MK9), but let's see what happens. Also, I can't wait to see which characters are going to be present. I'm expecting a lot of characters from MK4 and Deadly Alliance.
 
those new characters looked kinda interesting

i'm wondering how this connects with Shinnok's wacky master plan from the end of MK9.
 
Wait. There seems to be a third character that appears only during the Fatality segment. Kinda weird that they didn't include him with the new characters on display, unless he isn't finished yet.
 
He's the one that crushes someone's heart.

It helps that Mileena was ironically the only girl in MK9 that didn't have a man's jaw lol.

It seems pretty cool that this makes it look like subzero has some sort of added ability to MAKE interactables

:PUN:

Hope Kenshi is gonna be in this. I love Kenshi.

and Ermac. Bring back Ermac
 
just bring back ermac and make him the main character of the story.

a story focused on a multi-souled psychic wizard ninja is definitely a story I'd be invested in.

Hrm. Boon has confirmed that everyone talks to each other as part of pre-match intros, blocking is done with a button as in other MK games, and interactables are blockable.
God help us..... the pig advantage will return.

YOU'LL SEE! YOU'LL ALL SEE!
 
I can't lift all this deja vu.

Master Blaster and Ladybug both look pretty good. Ladybug in particular has my attention. I wonder how long it will be before we see more footage of Ancient Ogre?
 
I'm rubbing my chin here and trying to comprehend just what the three new characters are doing to make them so liked and welcomed as opposed to a bunch of the new charatcers in MK4-Armageddon.
I think it's because as someone on Eventhubs put it, they're just fucking nuts.
They're not cliched (but are tropey), but are neat and trying something else.
I mean they're already several leagues better than Kobra and Kira.
 
Looks good so far. Ed Boon also twittert that we will see more characters during E3, old as well as new ones. I think they will show the blue ogre-dude and some classic characters like Raiden.
 
block buttons only work if you have a punch and kick button as your only other buttons.
 
I will say having a block button on a standard stick is a pain in the ass IMO. give me a regular block any day.
 
I extremely disliked the block button in MK9 simply because it felt really unnatural to me and caused me to never block ever

it doesnt really bother me but i would have preferred a traditional block
