MK9 | News & Discussion (Updated as news happens!)

great question.

now that justin is confirmed for pdp do you think the rest of the capcom WC will follow? Or will it be justin vs the mk loyalists?

I have nothing but respect for justin wong, but I’d like to see an oldschool/longtime mk player beat him, just to give the mk community their own hero.

gotta respect the guys who managed to stomach all the 3d mk games and stay fans. thats dedication.

On the PDP Tournament Website under “Rules”:

http://pdptournaments.com/tournament-rules.html

Nitpicking:
This is a stupid rule. They’re not taking meter into consideration.
“If the power unexpectedly shuts off, or the system malfunctions and causes the match to be unplayable, the tournament judge will force a match reset. The wins for the games and rounds will stay as it was before the power went out or the game malfunctioned. Only the round will be reset. For example: If player 1 is up 1-0 and it is on round 3 on game 2 when the game freezes, the system will be reset and the players will recreate the last game by giving each other a round. The match will then start on round 3 with player 1 still up 1-0.”

I agree with the bold, BUT Im also a fan of upsets and wouldn’t mind if someone made a name at pdp.

Edit:you know whats another thing that pisses me off reptiles mask, it looks like the artist went for that beak look, of that one old prehistoric Dino that look like a cross between a bird and a lizard.

Yeah, that’s something alright. EVO doesn’t force players to used certain controllers/sticks right? I missed my chance to get the one that came with the tournament edition of MK (learned about it way too late), and I’m not sure if I’ll have the extra money to get one by the time EVO comes.

I’m diggin the new track Skrillex whipped up for this game. I’ve about dried up what ever was left of the old movie track from hearing it at the the arcade I work at every ten minutes in the lasertag arena

on an unrelated note Toasty!
if you’re interested, better act fast. Only sold for today

Oh my dear sweet god yes.

You horse fans just can’t catch a break it seems

Just today?! sees empty wallet [media=youtube]WWaLxFIVX1s]**NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!![/B[/media]

Requiring the MK Fight stick for the tournament is a dumb rule. If I’m not mistaken, they were produced in limited quantities so only a handful of people likely will have them. That rule needs to be changed ASAP

It’s a PDP tournament, and PDP makes the sticks. They’re going to provide them for the players.

All the players have to do is get used to the MK button layout if they aren’t already.

I didn’t realize that. I’ll take back my comments then.

Have y’all seen this?

It’s the first footage of Jade or Sindel that I can recall.

Yeah looks pretty sick lol another testicular destruction X-Ray haha

Its great to finally see Jade and Sindel in action! Jade looks very interesting to play, and Sindel’s scream attack looks to have a shortened range.

See that girl…

Watch that scene…

Diggin’ the Zoning Queeeeeeeeeeeeen!

But seriously, Sindel’s fireball zoning looks amazing. That crap is fast, yo. (That was an ABBA reference earlier, btw.)

Both Jade and Sindel look baller. They will definitely be my day one characters in training mode, along with Sheeva.

qft!

Hella annoyed at NRS that this is literally the same exact footage they got clips from for that Demo trailer.
Meaning this video is more than 2 months old :confused:

First hint was Kitanas intro quote and it being the same stage. I was like hmm… looks familiar.
[media=youtube]d2QAHy8jkQM#t=0m9s[/media]
Whatever…

Then Kitana does that Uppercut into tag, then Jade does a light kick into that pole throw move… on the same exact position on the stage as on the demo video. Seriously NRS? Re-using footage that fucking old?

I dunno, man. This shit really irked me, personally. Especially considering I’m pretty sure the game has gone gold already and they could have gotten a couple random interns to make some new footage.

Don’t think you’re the only one who noticed that. I saw it. I just didn’t particularly care. NetherRealm doesn’t owe you, me or anybody else jack until the nineteenth of April. I’m happy for what I’m getting.
