I heard Kahn’s arena is like MK2 with Kano and Sonya tied up and shit. Hopefully there are like 35 stages to choose from lol.
Man I think I’m the only player who wants Sheeva to come back. :sad: I WANT TO TELEPORT STOMP SOME BITCHES. As long as the game has a playable 4-armed (Shokan?) character I’ll be happy. Goro/Kintaro would be ok as well
Regardless I’m fucking pumped for this. I still have my other favorties (Reptile, Kung Lao) in already. Just give me Sheeva pleeeaasseeeee. Game will be instant pre-order.
I’m not sure. Yeah, they’re strong but they’re also expensive. This isn’t like one out of 5 bars like in Marvel or a dedicated Ultra meter like in SFIV. It costs a full bar that can be used for other things, a powerful defensive move included. So if you’re going to forgo EX moves and breakers then the X-Ray super needs to be good.
I do wish though that they change it so the meter builds from more offense than defense. Only building when you do special moves and get your ass beat makes it sound like the worse player gets the best of the meter. I know a lot of games do that but I think it’s backwards. Not game breaking but less than ideal.
I agree with the sentiment but not with the example. I actually think Motor Kombat is the only decent thing in MKA. But you’re right that they have fucked up in creative ways that totally blew my mind. People complained about blockable throws in MKDA and what do they do? Unblockable throws in MKD…with no escape…in a 3D game. People complain about strong combos so what do they do? Give you three free breakers. After that, infinite city.
It was like asking for somebody to boil an egg for you and instead of water they use motor oil.
But I’m pretty confident we’re passed those days. Please prove me right, Boon.
This game for the most part looks fucking awesome, i’ll give this a chance for sure. can i please get my run button back? I miss the crazy pressure from umk
If you make Scorpion good enough, you don’t need H Smoke, and I think R Smoke could be an entirely different character like they did in the last series. We shall see. I honestly wouldn’t care if they didn’t add a single new characters to this game.
I wasn’t able to see who the other person was but instead of Sonya it’s Kairi or whatever her name was from Deception tied up instead. And yeah Ermac needs to show up in this, main reason I stuck with Deception for so damn long.
I’ll be honest, I don’t even think we’re getting a “good enough” MK. I’m maybe 75% sure that we’re getting a genuinely good MK. The remaining 25% is me being a cautious bastard because of how many times I’ve been burned.
But you’re right about the detail. The second I saw unique entry poses and taunts at the beginning of the round I damn near fell over. Same when I saw Johnny Cage’s hair actually looks like hair. Finally they’re putting that extra bit of polish that while not important in the long run actually shows they took some pride in their work. It’s the little things like that you don’t really notice per se when you’re just playing a good game but the aggregate of which makes it just that much a better package. It’s not so much that you consciously notice but you can tell the difference between a polished game and one that was just run through the assembly line.
Can we get a MK Discussion Group?
To be honest, that’s actually adding to my paranoia. In the previous games, I actually felt they spent more time on presentation and side games than the actual gameplay. That conviction now has me on alert, wondering where the fuck-up’s going to rear its ugly head.
Im not saying it looks horrible. I just dont like the “float” that juggles have. The impact of jumping kicks doesnt look right.
Looks way better than the previous titles tho.
hopefully these guys can put together an MK game on par with UMK3. Looks great so far, but we really need a hands on with the game
Couple new Boon interviews. Haven’t had a chance to watch them yet.
I’ll just quote this and send that on over to MKO 
Whiskey?
I’ll be honest, after the trailer AND the gameplay demo; this is the first MK that’s got me jacked since, well shit, I really can’t remember. Still not exactly what I want as far as animation goes but Boon is actually doing everything right. Hell, it looks like Boon took a few pages out of the MvC playbook with the tag matches. Certainly nothing wrong with that. Love the way meter is used as well (thank you SF). Can’t really see it being abused. Yet anyways. Yeah I know it’s fluff but the Fatalities bring this back to MKII tier with a ridiculous amount of detail. Like I said though, that’s fluff. Gameplay is what this is all about and this is looking to be fairly decent. 
that there’s no Run button. The dashes will work though I prefer the run for the rushdown.
This games looking almost like a cross between MKII and UMK3 for me. Of course, if I see stupid shit like Supes ground pound infinites day #1 on youtube, I’m going to be pretty pissed.
Is something wrong if I might actually be finding myself more excited about this game than MvC3?
That Gamespot stream isn’t bad at all… In fact, MK is coming off as scarily good!
Now give me Quan Chi and Shang Tsung so I can re-enact my deadly alliance tag team!
I’m actually kinda with you on this one… The only way Capcom can get my full attention again is if they announce Magneto, Dictator, Apocalypse, Urien and/or Gill as characters.

Just thought I’d post the difference between the trailer and the E3 demo. For the first time hair in MK looks like hair. 
need more gameplay vids :^/
There was a lot of good stuff in those interviews I posted up there. Boon’s saying everything right. He says WB said “take as much time as you want”. Awesome.
Anyone know if it would be possible for GGPO netcode on UE3?
