New mortal kombat is coming

Hi Musolini, u mad cuz Ed Boon is stylin on ya, bro?

after seeing the trailer im very much looking forward to this game!!! iv heard that every previous character will be making a return in some way or another. Lui Kang and Scorpion will NO DOUBT be in the cast!! Mortal Kombat without these guys is simply not Mortal Kombat!! Loving the return of Sektor, thats one bad ass machine!!

For whatever reason, the lack of a run button is in fact a positive point among most of the casual gaming press who don’t play competitive Mk so far.

MvC3 should have been 6 button with all the attacks animated, not the Diet Marvel we’ll be getting, and MK9 should have a Run Button. How could they both be this bad?

Cry more.

Liu Kang will be in the game.
Actually , every single character from 1 and 2 is going to be there so apart from the guys that are already confirmed , it’s almost certain that there is going to be Liu Kang , Sonya , Kano (from MK1) and Baraka , Jax , Jade , Smoke and Noob Saibot (From MK2).
Raiden and Shang Tsung are also going to be playable .

To be frank , I don’t think there’s going to be a completely new character in the roster , perhaps only 1 … Or a super secret one , that first give you hints on how to find them.

Oh and personally , I’m liking most of the stuff I’m seeing , both for MvC3 and MK9. Don’t forget that these games will come out NEXT YEAR , there’s probably going to be a lot of changes.

i think team match will fall victim to extreme balance issues regarding lockdown and touch of death combos. anyone else?

If you guys really want to get serious about getting them to bring Mortal Kombat 9 at EVO, then you can tell Ed Boon at his Twitter page.

I want me one of those E3 MK promo shirts.

Concerning speed, everyone has to remember that the gamespot video was just to show off the game. The demoees were not playing to fight, they were playing to show off the engine and the new retro gameplay. When we play it will look nothing like that.

awesome t-shirts and awesome banner

i want both :frowning:

i hope they visit us in germany at the gamescom 2010

capcom will be there im sure (last year we had TvC)

Characters?

Just wondering if Lu Kang is going to be in the game? Normal or Zombie one was a bit wierd.

Besides that I normally used Sektor in MK3 and Raiden in MK vs DC

Here’s hoping for classic mk1 costumes as well as those MK redesigns we saw, the scorpion one looked great. :stuck_out_tongue:

really excited though with how the game’s showed up so far, and possibly looking into trying to get into umk3 now until this hits :o

edit: I’m pretty positive all the classic characters will be in there, I’m just hoping it’s normal liu kang, as zombie one is just stupid.

Only way to play MK1&2 is to turn off throttle in MAME. Speeds up the game. It’s like some ghetto turbo versions but atleast they’re playable.

I hope this game is as fast as they’re saying.

Also, Reptile has red blood damnit. This green shit gotta go.

More footage. Enjoy.

I really hope they improve the animations, some of them especially things like the walk animations are so stiff and crab-like. After seeing SF4, it’s hard to expect any less fluidity than that.

As for characters, if I were honest with myself the only character I’d care to see from the series post UMK3 is Quan Chi, he defines what an evil character should be. I’d be open to a re-imagined Shinnok, good idea for a villain, terrible application. Also Shang Tsung and Kahn can be seen in the backgrounds, could that mean they are absolutely unplayable?

MK’s take on EX moves is perfection so far, occasionally extreme though (see Sub Zero’s ground freeze). Compared to SF’s take on ex moves, where the properties of the move are improved, but there is very little visual representation. For example, Dictator’s ex psycho crusher is superior in every way relative to the normal attack but visually gaining only a boost of speed, leaving much to be desired.

Holy shit. I am LOVING this combo system.

Man , comboing into that x-ray deals bullshit damage. I hope the EX meter fills pretty slowly

Fuck that. I want this game to be DANGEROUS.

They already do the first thing. The problem is that it wasn’t until recently that they paid attention to the right segment of the community. And getting into EVO isn’t really something that can be put on their shoulders. The community has to support the game enough. But the netcode, yeah. GGPO that shit. These days netcode seems like a total coin toss. For every HD Remix you get a KOFXII. It’s madness.
