Test Your Might - Official MK9 News Thread - April 2011 Release Date?

I’m afraid of it… What is it exactly? My understanding from the description is that it’s just for them to upload wallpapers, screenshots, videos etc… But as soon as they do, that shit all goes online anyway, to be posted here or on any MK site for easy access… Right? Or am I missing something?

These came out of it:**

Lol @ the scan of Sindel vs Sonya. That’s not Mileena, retards. XD

Also, anyone see the 4 minute vid of gameplay? In German, but w/e.

Gameplay looks good. Animation doesn’t look as stiff as it did in previous builds.

Gameplay looks better but the physics are still a little off imo. Not sure what it is. It’s like the MK team is right at the edge of fixing it. While they claim this is “2D” I swear some of the 3D physics they developed over the years is being rehashed. blah.

Well it’s the MKvDC engine so it will definitely bring a few things from that.

I think they’ve done a good job of making it not look like MKvDC though.

When I look at MK9, the only things that remind me of MKDC are the animations. The gameplay just looks too different from MKDC.

Whether the gameplay overall gets fixed or not, the animation will always look a bit stiff for me. It’s like every motion is choreographed or something. I don’t know how to describe it, but I know only an overhaul of the animation system will fix it.

It needs a little more work in the animations. Some characters like Kung Lao are smooth like butter, others like Jax not so much.

is there any information about combo breakers? im worried that they might turn out broken.

Breakers are the second tier of the “super bar” in this game. First tier are EX moves, second tier are Breakers, and third tier are the X-Ray Moves. So far, it’s looking like you could only do one breaker per round, but whether or not that remains to be true depends on how fast you gain meter from being damaged, since that’s the fastest way to gain meter in this game.

I think that’s pretty much what everybody here would know so far.

Cheers dude. I hope it stays as one breaker per round. also I hope mathes won’t come down
to a breaker performed by each player in every round. blazblues breaker system seems pretty good

Some new articles concerning a Mileena wallpaper and also an article on Kratos for MK9:
Test Your Might - The Front Page - on the front page

I’m pretty sure MK9’s meter building is currently like MKDC’s. You build meter fastest for blocked attacks and taking damage. I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s little to no difference in how the meter builds.

hopefully this game will turn our alright, if not then we still have umk3 at least.

you guys need to check out SRK’s front page, like the 2nd article down - home-made MK9 fatalities found. They are good shit. :slight_smile:

I kinda borrowed them for TYM, credited of course. :wink:
