Yeah the variations/grooves are the furthest thing in the world from stances. And all the new characters pretty much own so far, a MK first :colbert:

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.

Yeah Deception was the lone shining star of the post mk3 to mk9 era. Kinda got all its ducks in a row. Konquest was great and fun, good stages, good roster, puzzle kombat, although wasn't terribly balanced.

I don't know the numbers but apparently Armageddon was made on a shoestring budget.

Very cool trailer, knowing NRS theres probably a bunch of little diddies to find in the trailer as well. I saw some stiletto heels on one of the animators screens for a second so that is probably Mileena or a new character.

Oh and the Factions menu is either straight up showing Sonya in the game, or Cassie dressed like Sonya.

And Chaos realm gets a shoutout as well specifically during the trailer, so maybe chances for Havik are not 0%.

If Sheeva's not in the game, I think I'm going to main Cassie.

I did not like Cassie at all at first, however the more of those pre-fight quips I see (and the fact that Hollywood style allows for deathstroke style instant air gunshots) she is growing on me.

I'll have to rewatch cause I am not 100% sure but it looked like the reptile stink still kept going even while he was being combo'd. I like the idea of the groove but the idea of losing the match while you are mid-combo is not cool at all.

This is correct. That is what they said happens, and he can enhance the range and damage from the cloud for periods of time.

If you don't wanna die from chip damage, you stay away from him. That's the strategy.

It's more about it ruins any ability to have a comeback when you are at low health as your big game winning combo would get you killed, and that seems pretty lame at any angle.

Scorpion is the poster boy for MK

I always felt like that was some historical revisionism. Growing up everyone knew Sub-zero was the man and he was even the main focus of MK3(where scorpion was nowhere to be found) and also got his own spin off game. Then somewhere along the line it became official that Scorps was the top dog and that always left me scratching my head.

If its from the Jamessmk meltdown, I don't remember everything but he says cage sonya jax etc, also mentioning a "tarkatan gunslinger".

To be taken with a huge grain of salt to be sure, but Sonya looks like 100% a lock by now, and Jax and cage are likely.

Just as a heads up, the PC version is also being done by High Voltage, not Netherrealm. I obviously can't speak for MK X but the PC version of Injustice(which they also did) is not highly regarded. Hopefully it turns out fine though.

Does see have a different outfit from the trailer, because I quite honestly loving hated that one.

Everyone will have at least 1 alt costume. I dig the look myself, but if you want something else I am 99% positive her more classic look will be back in some fashion cause in an older video they shown for a brief second a model of some stripper rear end stilleto heels, and that really can only belong to Mileena.


As far as the trailer goes, Kung Jin zoning is going to be loving legit although teleports flow more freely in MK than any other fighter so will be a bit matchup dependent. The Mileena sai variant is everything I was hoping for with bonus low hitting projectile, although the other 2 a bit lacking.

There is no run button in mk x. You hit block during a dash(or block and then dash) and it cancels your dash into a run.

Don't know how I missed that info. Good to know.

Effectively it means no more dash blocking, which for good or ill was a huge part of mk9. Dashes can only be cancelled into run and nothing else(although run can be cancelled into anything).

Also not widely known is there is a small tiny penalty to running everywhere(or backdashing, as that uses up run bar now to balance out the invuln frames it gives). If your run gauge is anything less than 100% full, you can't use a breaker, which I like because that means if you get got while being overly defense or aggressive then you gotta eat poo poo.

I know I'm in the minority but I think I would prefer non-guest characters in the DLC. Guest characters are always neat but they also always seem kind of out of place. Also, is the plan with this DLC to have the next one include Alien and Freddy to complete the quartet or what

Well good news, there is 2 non guest characters(mk chars from previous games) in the dlc.

Guest characters will be a thing because they sell copies of the game. Worked for Soul Calibur, and Freddy dlc blew the other characters out of the water in sales in mk9.
