Ok heres something thats been bothering me
Since reptile is getting a classic ninja look how would this work out?

Is he gunna have a reptile face or just a normal ninja face?
I’m just wondering if sub zero and scorpion’s alts are gunna be the same except just pallet swaps so basically the alts are gunna be skins instead of altered models.

Well how did it work in previous games? Did he quickly pull the mask down under his chin? Did he just spit thru the mask?

That reminds me, one of the pre-order bonus’s is a classic fatality, along with the classic outfit. I wonder if Reptile will be getting the one where he stretches his tongue out to eat you piece by peace? That shit looked hella goofy originally, I wonder how they’ll make it look all cool and new without it being kinda cartoony.

mk2 & 3 he would just instantly change his face into a lizard and when he did his fatality he would remove his entire head like a mask. So face, mask, everything would be taken off (same with scorpion). Just wonder if they’re still gunna do that cause now with everything so detailed, it might look kinda weird. The problem wouldn’t reside in his new default cause he pretty much looks like he did in his old lizard head sprite normally so when he spits all he does is remove his mouth mask

Well, there’s two main “Klassic Fatalities” that Reptile is known for. One is “Head Eat” (MK2 version is better than the UMK3 version), the other, from UMK3, is the “Acid Puke”.

I’m honestly thinking they’ll use Acid Puke, just because it probably be able to realized in 3D better, with much more visceral effect. Head Eat likely wouldn’t go along with the overall presentation they’re trying to do now, as it was already quite cartoony when they tried to use it in DA.

Yeah thats what he did in the past MKs when he spit out Acid. I’m sure they would think of some kind of fast morphing animation for his lizard face. Especially how powerful the game looks in the graphics department. It looked weird back then when he did that, so it won’t be a big surprise lol.

Anybody notice the Goro/Kintaro/Random Shokan Warrior statue in the background of the newly revealed stage on the new MKast?
It’s at 4:40

But he already HAS acid puke! Remember? He opens your mouth and pukes down your throat.

Seems like that’s pretty much already covered.
Unless they just make him spew puke all over you and just melt you…

Now that I pay attention, he actually is wearing a piece of mask over his mouth in his new MK9 outfit, so it might just work for him to just pull down the mask part for his new Classic oufit.

And for the fatality he’ll probably just do the whole “pulling off the skin of my face” thing to reveal his new outfits face underneath the classic outfits mask. That or they make a third face model? Who knows. Maybe he’ll just pull back the mouth part even for the fatality.

Yeah, but in that fatality, it just seems that the real center piece is how Reptile will then rip out your stomach/intestinal tract (or whatever he’s grabbing out of you…). Quite a bit different from the other version, where he did indeed puke all over you and left you as a mess of acid and puss. :lol:

In any case, again, I could see them using that, since it’s more “gross” and less “cartoony” than Head Eat. Unless they wanted to go for that lame Fatal where Reptile was invisible and some how the other guy gets chopped in half with no means of explanation. :lol:

Speaking of the new acid puke, when I initially saw only the puke part, I was kinda just hoping he would keep spewing some more acid into you and just rip you in half by the top and bottom of your jaw, like you’re just melting in two. THAT shit woulda been cool.

It sounds good to me. Running always felt clunky to me.

Best MKast episode ever. I wonder how many series and episodes we’ll get, up until launch? Really diggin their dedication to making a deep MK game while trying to include all the “bells and whistles” too. That tutorial mode sounds good. Hopefully it really goes deep, teaching you advance combos and such (I remember MKvsDC having a decent combo challenge mode).

100% HYPE!!! :woot:

Yeah, it would have! :lol:

The package does get all the more appealing the more they showcase in motion. I suppose that’s my main qualm with these Kasts, though. I appreciate that you allow us to see what you look like guys, but really, we’re not even getting a 50-50 split between talking and gameplay! Show us more of the actual game! :lol:

the uk release date for the new is showing as 14/02/10, but only the standard edition, are the kollector and te US only??

^Should be worldwide, but not totally sure. And I’m like 99% sure that release date is incorrect cause that would be one day before MVC3’s release date. It would be awesome having a fighting game released on my birthday and another the day after though haha :rofl:

What is the official release date? LOL @ me buying a game, and don’t even know when to get it. :razz:

I would assume that’s wrong since all of the U.S. retailers have it listed as being released in April.

And I think the MK team is dumb, but not dumb enough to release it within a week of MvC3.

Stage must be new.
I was beating myself up trying to figure out which of the old ones it was and came up with nothin.
Looks awesome tho.
Still waiting for the Jade leak/reveal as well.

We’ll have 3 months to practice up for EVO!

Niggas won’t be able to SEE ME with my sick Motaro mixups.
