the Kabal and Quan leaks were mentioned above and those wallpapers are fan art, first posted here.
Finally! Hopefully someone from the fighting game community can get their hands on it and give us some honest feedback and videos! Lord knows I am aching to see a match with people whom at least know what they are doing.
Sometimes I really wish I lived in the US… There’s just no way anything similar would happen over here.
Any of you guys going there?

IGN posted up a new video showing the “Challenge Tower” mode
Looks like its gunna be a lot of fun compared to some of the other crappy offline modes we get in other games.
also shows some video of Striker, Goro, Sindel, Shao Kahn and the Klassic Costumes
EDIT
OK so I went through the video again and something was bothering me. Smoke?
During the first few seconds of the video they go through the tower and fades away at
what looks to be Cyrax. But what bothered me was that he didn’t have a hint off yellow in his pallet.
The spots on him that should be lit green have have a shade of blue instead of green.
What do you guys think? Could this be Robot Smoke or are my eyes just messing with me?
Reminds me of GGXX’s Mission Mode.
So I apologize for my ignorance but has there been more info on 2v2 mode? Can 4 players play it on one console? How will the tag system work? TTT style?
There’s no real new info, but from what has been shown, the tagging in and out is like TTT, while the assists are more comparable to Marvel.
Challenge Tower looks awesome.
It’s been confirmed that 2 people on one console can play online against 2 people on a second console. So that should also mean that 4 people can play on a single console.
It seems to be TTT style tag with assists.
You can tag in, you can call an assist and you can spend some meter for an assist that also tags in the other character at the same time so you can keep on comboing.
I heard something about tag moves that vary depending on the team you picked, but I’m not sure…
I still have my reservations about the gameplay in general (especially tag mode), but I’m VERY pleased to see their mini-mode distraction stuff actually looks fun AND utilizes the gameplay engine (meaning they probably don’t have to stop testing the actual gameplay to work on this).
Even though I bet most of the missions will be dumb stuff (kind of like the Krypt items) with a few awesome missions here and there, those few missions look to be good single player stuff. This looks like it may be their best SP mode yet.
I’m just hoping they don’t force us to unlock characters through this mode.
I’m pretty sure the trophy whores will eat up challenge tower if it offers alot of achievements.
I think Ed Boon answered the 2v2 question on his Twitter awhile ago…
RT @KingTavy @noobde so will two people on the same console be able to play Tag Mode online on the same team? Noobde: Oh hellz yes.

I just finally got around to watching the team discussion over the gameplay and I am officially sold, they put all my fears to rest. While you dont get the "run jab"preasure from UMK3 you can dash cancel from target combo’s and normals which means you can still apply pretty effective preasure with good enough timing. Plus they mentioned the reversal window being small which means no mash DP lol, and even if you do you dont got FADC to bail you out.
I also like what they said about making the characters intentionally getting up quick after knock down to avoid defensive play, seems like the player who gets in motion with a knock down will control the flow of the match. Although they dont shit on defensive styles either, I like how they mention the game being divided between"attacking and retreating"so it seems like zoning and spacing will be rewarded as well,you just wont get your position reseted as often so that the offense pace will maintain.
So… Today is the first day of the MK9 truck tour, right? Gonna be F5ing this place and Testyourmight the entire day.
Live gets nothing?
Nah, it’ll be coming to Live. There’s a press release floating around saying it’ll be available to all PSN users the 15th, and on Live somewhere in March, presumably the 16th.
sucking Kevin Butler’s dong isnt what i consider right, but i know what you mean. I am just grossed out by all the PS love.
