Special meter is not tied to being blocked/taking damage, that's huuuge.

Edit: and run is gone, too.

It's a wonderful time for me because my editor asks stuff like "Hey, do you want to write up a huge article about who Baraka is?" as if he's Cosgrove and I'm Freakazoid.

Looks like Scorpion's spear doesn't stun anymore? Instead it closes the distance and swaps sides with the opponent.

Stream video is dead. Some interesting tidbits so far:

Crushing blows aren't random, they have requirements. And crushing blows do additional damage, each can only be done once per game.

There are no specials on wakeup, instead you have specific wakeup moves.

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


Oh good they took out run, putting run/block on the same button in MKX was the most annoying thing.

Skarlet looks like she might fill a similar role Shinnok did, so I'm leaning towards maining her.

Unless Noob is in the game. Then I wanna main Noob.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
Where is my boy Erron Black?

I find it amusing that Skarlet is literally wearing 700% more clothing than her first appearance in MK9.

You can mod attributes to the different gear, but I'm not clear on the details.

Aside from Kano, everyone else in this arena is kind of in silhouette. But are there any other characters you can make out?

Someone spotted Johnny Cage in the background of the Special Forces stage, but it doesn't look like it's playable here, so hard to make sure.

Fresh from reddit, the London stream might have shown off Cassie.



The post said she was addressing Kitana, so she might have been confirmed as well.

EDIT: UK stream also confirmed Brutalities.

Jesus Christ, if they're playing this for the loving bowling ball titties from MK 9, I feel really sad for them. Then I saw Big Chungus Tweedy and yeah it makes sense.
