New mortal kombat is coming

sounds worth a buy so far.

it looks like umk3? like a lot? looks more like 2d mk than sf4 looks like 2d sf

far more likely it came from aof1 which came out a month after mk1 and far closer resembles the implementation in most fighting games

yeah, sure, in your retarded lil world it probably did.

Musolini, you don’t like the game nor the franchise, and you seem to just be in here to stir shit like you are in the Naruto thread, here’s a tip, why don’t you just not post in here? That way MK won’t bother you nearly as much.

What if Yamazaki was in Mortal Kombat, Musolini?

Haters wanna hate…lovers wanna love…Muso don’t want…NONE OF THE ABOVE, HE WANTS TO PISS ON MK!

So I made an IRC UMK3/General MK channel.

EFNET (server)
#UMK3srk (channel)

This is an IRC channel for MK fans to gather. Discuss MK and set up UMK3/or other MK online matches. I’m also using this channel to advertise MKIX information as it’s announced and as I recieve it.

When MKIX is released (and pending how well it’s recieved), this channel will go under a different name. But since UMK3 is the most popular “competitive game” we’ll stick with this title. :smiley:

Please join us/me. Thanks. :cool:

Jeff Gerstmann confirmed yesterday there’s a forward and back dash and can be used to get out of moves like Kung Lao’s spin. So basically spin, dash forward to get out of it, combo of choice.

Also instead of HP/LP/HK/LK/BL, it’s FP/RP/FK/RK/BL (front punch/rear punch/front kick/rear kick/block). Meaning front = limb closest to screen, rear = furthest away.

I’m liking what I hears so far.

That… actually sounds cool. Hm… dash cancelling… who’da thunkit?

those button terms are hella confusing. but the dash cancel does seem awesome. :smiley:

Short clip of new gameplay with Scorp’s spear and a bunch of fatalities.

Sounds very similar to Tao Feng’s setup.

Very fucking nice dude. :woot:

Now those are how fatalities should be! :amazed:

Could this mean the return of the rest of the Orig.MK team that left with Tobias? Who knows.

Any chance there is a link to a YouTube version of that screwattack video?

here some more info and holy crap scorpion still a bad ass. im liking that they are add somethings from other fighting games, makes me a happy camper.

I am also pleased.

What is up with the no actual gameplay vids other than the original trailer?!? I like seeing fatalities but I really want to see the fighting engine more in depth. If screw attack was at the demo then why didnt they take video of the game being played? Thats fucked up man.

Are you saying that the dash can be used by Kung Lao to cancel his spin or that a person about to get hit with the spin can dash out of it and retaliate? Just to be clear because dash cancels = win. Though I’m wondering if dashing is going to be :r::r: and :l::l:. I guess Scorp’s spear isn’t going to be :l::l: Punch anymore.

Color me intrigued. I had forgotten that MK would more than likely be shown at E3. From an aesthetic standpoint, the game looks really good and the fatalities all look gloriously violent. I can’t really say much about the gameplay since…we didn’t see much. However, the new mechanics do sound interesting. A “super meter”? Dash canceling? EX moves? The super meter sounds the most intriguing, as all the more “advanced” tactics like the aforementioned dash canceling and EX moves will all take meter to do, most likely. I like the idea of it a lot. I doubt we’ll see actual supers, but it looks like the “super” of this MK game is that new “bone breaker” thing.

I’m not sure what to think of it. I think this is the second MK game since MK vs DC to have a gimmicky “mini-game” during actual combat(or is it “kombat”?). Have they ever been good? I guess whether or not they’re actually good isn’t the point. I just hope this new “bone breaker” thing actually proves to be a worthwhile thing to do and isn’t just some tedious, annoying mini-game.

New MK has the same set up as…cough BLOODSTORM!

BloodStorm cpanel is exactly the same
