How does the customization work with tournaments? Was it banned in Injustice 2, or did they let players fiddle with it?

I don't know about tournamnets, but I think in Injustice 2 it was done poorly from a local multiplayer standpoint. Player 2 couldn't use any of the customized things including costumes. (unless they patched it but they didn't last time I played it.)

since there's no way any sane human being could ever unlock every custom move in Injustice 2 it was probably less of an issue for that game. If you had a certain move for Superman in your game, there's like a 5% chance a tournament PS4 would have it because poo poo's all random unlocks.

Ed Boon mentioned there would be "normalized" variants for MK11 which makes me assume the default 3 for each kharacter they've put in the game will be the standard.

My choice for never-gonna-happen-but-I-want-it-anyway DLC is The Warrior King.



He was a He-Man-like character who showed up in a four-part crossover between the Street Fighter, Savage Dragon, Mortal Kombat and Wing Commander cartoons. Put him in there with an ending revealing that Street Fighter vs. Mortal Kombat is finally going to happen.

Holy motherfucking poo poo. For loving 20 years now, my best friend went on and on about some grand crossover he remembered seeing as a kid in cartoons involving some sort of orb bouncing around from cartoon to cartoon. And I was always like 'you're loving insane, that never happened.' And now I find out he was right.

Well. Sort of. He said one of the cartoons involved was Beast Wars, and since I watched that religiously as a kid, I'd have known which is why I called bullshit so easily.

Man. That article's right, who even owns the rights to Warrior King? Someone should tweet Boon and ask to have him in.

Much less obscure but this is how I felt when a classmate told me about the Street Fighter animated movie back in the day. "There's blood and cursing... and they show Chun Li NAKED!!" Yeah sure kid. :jerkbag:

Then the Mortal Kombat movie came out and it didn't have any gore, which made the Street Fighter thing sound like even more of an urban legend.

In that kid's defence, that was a VERY well travelled gaming urban legend, I think EGM might have even done a April Fool's thing with it

It’s not an urban legend. Chunners has a shower scene in the old Street Fighter 2 OVA.

Eric Andre would be worth it even as a joke character just for the pre-match banter. Too bad Rudy has already been confirmed as a guest character.

I miss Geras' weird blue blood but other than that, everything in this was hype as gently caress. I can't wait for Kung and Liu's Bogus Journey.

Jax looks loving great. Amazing how big of a leap this game is from MKX in the graphics and facial animation department. Characters like Kung Lao, Liu Kang, and Kitana actually look more Asian.

MK is one of the few fighting games that somehow make me give a poo poo about their characters outside of how fun they are to play. It is insane how well they do this now.

If they announced a loving turn-based RPG in the series I would still probably jump all over it just to see the plot.

It's probably the only fighting game storyline that's interesting since Soul Calibur's just not that compelling and the Street Fighter timeline is so hosed up / SF5's story mode was the most boring Interpol drama imaginable.

The OG roster of MK1 up to now has had an insane evolution. Liu Kang's had a loving whirlwind of a story going from plain vanilla hero to outright murdered to zombie to fallen hero and now split between potential savior again / king of the Netherrealm. Sonya married Johnny Cage and raised the New "Winner" of Mortal Kombat. Sub-Zero was killed for his rear end in a top hat deeds and came back as Noob Saibot. Scorpion found redemption and went from demonic villain to anti-hero. Raiden became the biggest fuckup in the galaxy. And Kano, well, Kano grew sideburns and developed an accent.

Reptile deserves mad props for being the first secret character and avatar for the dragon king but his designs have become just so boring (MK9's was a loving travesty) and has been a jobber for years. He deserves to get bumped off the " resident freak" slot on the roster for Baraka and Shao Kahn's new right hand freak, The Kollector

gently caress I forgot Kano got a groovy chest timepiece and traded in his pajamas for a proto-futurist uniform
