MK9 | News & Discussion (Updated as news happens!)

Hopefully people got some UMK 3 action from evo on the youtubes.

I started playing Reptile(playing a bunch with Shoryu Reppa, we’re both scrubs at it though :lol:).

Unfortunately I haven’t seen ANY UMK3 at evo :frowning:

That makes me sad. :frowning:

Just wanna say thanks to everyone updating this thread with news and info. I really only come here so it’s nice to have everything from around the media in one thread.

That’s my goal :smiley:

Hires image of the placeholder box art from GameStop’s site:

Saw that on MKO. Obviously “PACKAGING NOT FINAL”, but it’s perfect as is.

No real news and no Kitana makes NightWhisper a very , very sad panda.

Also , a very pissed one
rargh

… anyways , I believe that by now everyone has seen the ‘NO RUN BUTTON’ tweet from Boon , right? My condolenses to all the hardcore UMK3 players -_-

Every fighter needs a run button.

I think it was stated in the E3 previews that there wasn’t gonna be a run button.

It’s been stated 100x by everybody. Including Boons own twitter >_<

But there’s no harm in wishing.

my main concern about this game is the animations

all 3D MKs so far have this distinct obnoxious ragdoll physics, the jump animations are weird and juggles look horrible

MK’s never really had good animation. It’s always been stiff. I don’t care as long as it’s fast and hard.

Anyone have new scans from Official Xbox magazine?

Ed Boon: “Official Xbox magazine has a nice little article on the new MK game. http://twitpic.com/29uwxw

The scans have been used in the mags released over the last month or so. Nothing new. :confused:

:confused: Why would he even tweet that then??? Need more MK info… Noooooowwwww!! E3 seems like 1 year ago.

I have no idea but he also posted a pic of Kitana’s fans, and when he posted this tweet about the Xbox mag, i asked him when we’d see some new screens and replied to me in german that we’d see some very soon.

I personally don’t agree with a lot of the things they say, but w/e.

Cant argue with facts :coffee:
