So stoked about this game, I've had it preordered since before Goro was a preorder bonus. Hopefully the PDP controller is solid, I have one of their SF4 Fightpads for PS3 and it's not bad, but I'd still rather have a stick. At least MK doesn't rely on DP motions, the Fightpad fucks those up horribly for me. (Comedy option: I am a babby who is bad at execution)

It was winner's Semifinals when DJT did this to him. They met again in Loser's finals and DJT didn't use it again until the end, and by then someone had told Chris G what to do.

And it even says "TOASTY!" on the screen when you do that version of Scorpion's fatality.

Still not as bad as Ryu being pronounced Ryeoo by folks even though the game says it. General Uile and Gweelee are other classics. Like how did you even manage to get from your home to the arcade.

I've never heard a single westerner pronounce Ryu correctly so I've given up on it at this point.

On another note I thought it was pretty funny that the announcer for the English version of SFIV says "Yuhn" and "Ei-don" while the same guy for the JP version says "Yoon" and "Ah-don."

That reminds of the episode of the Defenders of the Realm cartoon where Jax loses the use of robot arms (turns out they are just metal sleeves) and goes into a depression since he feel useless.

Admittedly, it's not as dumb as some of the dumbest superhero comics, but I think hotwiring a connection to twitter while falling through the Earth's atmosphere, everything involving Nightwing's death, and Sinestro conning the Green Lanterns were all pretty funny in the worst way.

The Twitter thing was so stupid it was amazing and I blame the Nightwing death stuff on the art, but I see nothing wrong with Sinestro loving over all the Green Lanterns. Especially because Hal is a stupid meathead.

And the Harley Quinn stuff is gold, especially when she's with Green Arrow or Black Canary. Easily better than the mainline stuff. Kinda makes you wish the whole thing was just those three dicking around.

Sub-Zero mentioned his soul has been freed. Does that mean he is Bi Han?

Also if Ermac has Shao Khan's soul then that rumor of him being the big bad of X has some merit...

Nah. Kuai Liang's soul was in Quan Chi's possession at the end of MK9. Probably got resurrected and freed which explains why he isn't a cyborg anymore.

Scorpion's fatality have been revealed and it isn't pretty. I have a tough stomach, I am able to handle beheading videos and even then that was a bit hard to stomach through, but this....this is too much and I say it as a complement, the details really shows with anatomical correctness.

Ermac can combo after telepunch. :dance:

Not impressed with the flight variation with what they showed., though.

It's still a work in progress, but from what we saw I agree on that. Flight variation looked like complete poo poo compared to Mystic allowing meterless combo extension off of Force Lift and Master of Souls letting his projectile stun when he has three green balls oribiting him.

No one man should have all that Psycho-Power.

Well between the flight variation and the way Quan chi uses air fireballs, I think it is a safe bet Sindel is not making it in the game.

Mystic looks like the clear winner until we see more from Master of Souls. Force Push was Ermac's strongest ability and now I can combo after it? Fuggetaboutit.

I'm also happy to see that levitation looks a lot quicker. Maybe it won't be garbage now.

Haha I didn't even think about that. One of my buddies co-hosts an MK podcast and he said if they bring back Sindel he'd want a variation that just let's her fly around.
