Yeah really nice interview. Thanks for making that happen.
Nice interview. Damn the sound quality.
Best Buy Canada Sale on MK right now
I just checked bestbuy online and they are having a 10% off sale right now. all 3 versions of the new mk are 10% off on top of the fact that they are priced lower than other places normally for some reason. You can pre-order kollectors for 80.99 and tournament for 116.99 which is a pretty significant savings. Be aware though if you preorder online they will ship it to you on the 19th so you wont get it day 1. This is bestbuy Canada i haven’t checked anywhere else.
Thanks for the support, guys. I wish I had better equipment than a little Flip camera. My buddy had to damn near put it up our noses to get any sound at all. I think it’s pretty understandable though. If there are any parts you want me to clarify just let me know.
I did immediately get self-conscious when I saw actual press with real cameras and dedicated microphones while here I was, carrying my rinky dink camera in a Sega Game Gear carrying case, and started thinking the WB guys would just scoff at me. But all of them, including Brian, were so welcoming that I swear within two seconds of introducing myself I felt like I was talking to a bunch of old friends.
If you guys were interested in the Tournament Edition, better strike fast and pre-order that shit. Amazon is all sold out and scalpers already got their price set at $280 on the site.
Go pre-order it now.
I just realized that X-Ray Attacks are done by pressing 3, 4, and BLK. On the stick, that’s going to be a really easy command.
Assuming they don’t change it, I think it’s interesting the execution barrier is so unbelievably low for most things. Although I will admit both kicks and block is a weird ass command. It’s almost like they made it that because they ran out of buttons to combine.
Yeah, everything in terms of special moves, combos, and supers is really easy. I actually like it that way. My execution is legendarily awful in fighting games, and it’s good to see a game where I can actually do shit.
I also just now noticed that dashes can be canceled into anything. Dashes will probably make for really good defensive and offensive tools because of this, especially when one considers that blocking gives your opponent meter.
Another thing I noticed is how much damage scales. Certain combos do less damage if you add more hits to them. For instance, with Sub-Zero, you can do 2,1,2 > Iceball > dash > dash > 1 > dash > 2,1 > Slide, but if you do 2,1,2 > Iceball > dash > dash > 2,1 > Slide, omitting the dash-canceled 1 in the middle, the combo does more damage. The best combos in this game will probably be short, practical ones because of this, I’m willing to bet.
X-ray is actually a pretty easy command if you’re using an arcade stick. Just map blocking to the :hk: button and all you have to do is press the 3 bottom row buttons to activate X-ray mode. That should hold true for pretty much any button layout that won’t break your hand:
FP BP TG
FK BK BL
FP TG BP
FK BL BK
FP BP
BL
FK BK
TG
or even better imho:
FP Stance BP
FK Block BK
press block+stance for X-Ray just like a Focus Attack in SSF4
I didn’t say It’d break your hand. I just said it was weird.
So, I’m guessing Raiden is the new character they’re unveiling today. Meh.
nope.
Well there aren’t many options. I’m going to guess Kabal. Overdue at this point. Maybe Sheeva since I think we saw her at some point as an incidental bonus in another video.
Sheeva would make for a lame reveal since we’ve seen bits and pieces of her through the past few months. We know she exists, so it doesn’t exactly inspire a sense of excitement. Kabal makes for an interesting reveal, but I personally would kill for a character that is not part of the first 3 MKs. Maybe a new character would be nice.
When is this reveal happening, does anyone know? Like, when today?
Like, in 2 hours
Edit:woops, that was an hour ago, so not long now
