I felt that the 3D games for Mortal Kombat were more tolerable than the 2D ones before it. I don’t consider the Mortal Kombat game play to be amazing, counting every game, but I just prefer 3D game play for fighting games. I said that I was going to give it a chance for this new Mortal Kombat, at least.
@ninjagrinder
You mean Ed (Edward) Boon or John Edwards , the lead designer?
In any case what makes you say that? I personally liked the interview (kudos to Slamtastic who posted it) cause we learned new stuff .
Oh , and speaking of morons , that Lopez guy in the video was a gigantic douche. He did have some sort of a point , however.
I think I read somewhere an early interview by Ono (?) that was saying exactly the same thing ('bout exchanges).That’s kinda disturbing. I personally don’t want a Super Mortal Kombat Fighter 4 …
If the meter builds up by landing a combo , that , right there is simply AWESOME NEWS.
REALLY hope it’s true.
And I never get tired of reading that
I meant John Edwards, seems like he have always seen MK as a casual game (maybe because he was one of those players?), he just doesn’t know what he’s talking about, don’t these people know about tournaments? the limits which dedicated players have reached? hardcore online scene? The interview was good, I just hated some of the stuff that guy Edwards said. Ed Boon, instead had some valid comments.
And I hope the amount of meter you gain for landing hits or a combo, is MUCH larger than the one for GETTING HIT.
For now , let’s hope that landing a combo DOES INDEED fill the meter. It’s really unfortunate that these weren’t Boon’s words (but the magazine’s writer) and we haven’t seen a video demonstrating it … so … yea.
If it’s true though , it seems logical to me that meter building by getting hit will be faster , cause that contribuites more to the ‘exchange’ mechanic they want to add in this game so badly.
Agreed. I’m still a bit disappointed that you don’t build meter just by attacking, though.
Even though I don’t think it’s ideal, the getting hit = meter thing is a stylistic choice I can deal with, especially since the meter has a defensive function. But I don’t much like the idea of building meter by just doing special moves because I don’t think anything that whiffs should ever be rewarded. Oddly enough, from what I’ve seen and read, it seems like you get meter for doing absolutely everything except for simply hitting your opponent.
Need scans nnnooowwwww.
Also, where/when is the Mkast podcast???
Really fuckin great combo compilation that a user on Youtube put together. Great way to really guage things when you can see them side by side like this.

Couple days old, but I hadn’t seen em til just now, so I’m gonna assume most people haven’t either.
Or you could like buy it…
and provide everyone else with the scans :tup:
I don’t even get this magazine in my area. Plus, you need a scanner!
it’s the august issue. I think you’d have to actually have a subscription or “know somebody” to be able to get scans at this point
i think that this is the 1st mk game in years that got me interested enough to buy it, hope that it turns good
you’re not alone in that sentiment
We have way, way, WAY too many sticky threads in this MK section. My goodness! You have to scroll down half a page just to get to the actual threads.
Not only will this be the first MK that I will buy in a long time but this game is the reason why I am buying an X-Box 360 as well. I just would really like some more character news to start coming out. I will be getting it anyway, just from what I have already seen, but seeing Kano and Shang Tsung in playable form certainly would not hurt!
Yeah, we gotta get separate game sub-sub-forums in this mk sub-forum. Seriously. lol
There should be a UMK3 section, an MKvDC section, an MK9 news section… But I’ve been asking Wiz for too much stuff lately so i dont wanna bother him lol
I am sure that I am not the only one that does not care at all about Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 nor Mortal Kombat VS D.C. Universe, so I would be all for that change as well just so I could selfishly and conveniently stick to just the “Mortal Kombat 9” section. To me, it would be like having Street Fighter Alpha in with the Super Street Fighter IV discussion. It is just silly. 
Then again, the name of this website is Shoryuken.com, so obviously Mortal Kombat is not the number one priority!
Yeah man, what the hell. They need this forum set-up specifically for Top Dollar and his personal preferences.
I think you may lack some reading comprehension, holmes. No offense.
Ladies, ladies…
