The Mortal Kombat Thread

OH DOI!
Yeah I was trying my best to excuse Jax being alive, but Christ it makes no sense.
If he was resurrected wouldn't he have his arms back?

I dunno, but the soul had robotic arms so...

Speaking of which, I heard the MKX Sub-Zero is the original, older Sub-Zero, so at least him not being a cyborg won't contradict Jax's arms. :P

Perhaps they just used his old body?
 
Or he could've had his arms back, but opted to have cybernetic arms again
Once you go cyberneticly enhanced you... uh... I didn't think this joke through.
Whatever, you never go back is what I'm getting at.

Maybe they got resurrected in their old bodies.

I saw Jax, didn't notice bow guy!
He looks like a scrawny Kotal, maybe we'll see him the next issue of the comic, after all the a teaser image is Kotal hanging with his Aztec bros!
He could be Salazar.

Cassie's voice actor is

ehh.

Never realized that until now.
 
Jade variant for Kitana looks awesome.

Reptile's fatality was disappointing.

Brutalities confirmed for next stream.

Cool.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
 

If you want to have fun, think of this as someone taking a dump in the morning. Including the grunt. You're welcome.

What did you guys think about the new MKX issue?

1. Frickin' Sonya ruins everything- she should know better than to mess with the True Hero of MKX.
2. I'm digging Reiko's conniving.
3. Kotal's team is underutilized. We see a bit of Reptile, but D'vorah, Ferra, Torr and Erron never do anything.
4. Next one seems to finally return to Issue #1 with Kano and Sub-Zero, so that'll be cool.
5. Also I don't think Mileena is going to be playable. Too many similarities with Kitana's assassin variation and she's pissed Kotal off way too much... although I'd still say I feel it's 50/50.
 
Reiko? Did they reveal a new character? Did they reveal Sonya? Who's Ferra? What did I miss? I always feel out of the loop with the MK series XD

You know what brutalities remind me of? Those times in Samurai Shodown where you don't do a special input for fatalities, but still cut your opponent by hitting JUST right with standing hard slash. Good shit.
 
Btw, from what I saw in one of the stream matches one of Scorpion's brutalities may or may not involve turbo teabagging. @SonicFox5000 , you better be cutting ALL the arms off.
 
Oh man, i'm loving these new Brutalities. They make me think of if there were Super-EX specials aside from the regular EXs, except they can only be used as finishers. Good shit.

And don't forget that it seems that (almost) every EX-burn move comes with it's own brutality version, even if it's a simple decapitation that still counts.
Over 100 Brutalities.
So let's say there's 6 EX-Burns per character, counting each variation, that plus the two fatalities is eight finishers per character.
 
I just wanna make sure I saw things correctly. Did one of Cassie's brutalities consist of punching D'Vorah's ovaries so hard, her head came off?

That is exactly what happened.

Some brutalities are vanilla, some are insanely creative, some are cool but not good neough for the cinematics.
And what I've noticed is like, a lot of them remind me of the old MK1-3 fatalities, as in, they're not much, but were still decent enough for the time.
 
They were not what I expected at all, Brutalities. I was expecting something along the lines of... how Hercules died in God of War III.

They're still cool though! D'Vorah's made me chuckle quite a bit. I almost wish confetti popped out of Kano's stomach with the slug.
 
I'm gonna default to Brutalities I think, if I can.
Ed says you need to be a badass to pull some of them off.
