I hope Edenia is in the story mode and it's actually a little bit dingy. Not like a shithole or anything, just enough so you're like "Y'all been talking this place up for decades and it's actually pretty meh. Like Pittsburgh has a better zoo than this."

Reptile is just a mistransliteration of Ratpod from the original design documents. Just fifty cute rats in a big whiffle ball.

If everyone remembers, Liu Kang became leader of the Nether Realm because he challenged Raiden after Shao Khan came to Earth Realm. Raiden knew or at least got flashes of how bad he hosed up, the previous timeline. MKX and 11 were honestly not bad beyond Liu thinking he's right and Raiden was wrong. I know Liu is gonna gently caress this up so much worse than Raiden ever could and I can't wait.

The best part is that it's literally eons in the making.

Liu Kang just spending all that time waiting for Raiden to be reborn to rub it in his face how much better he's been at the job than Raiden ever was, only for it to all come crashing down

Jax is old, yeah, but it's Kronika tempting him with the ability to bring back his recently deceased wife, as well as reshuffle the deck so Jacqui's safe. Between that and his MKX PTSD, Jax had a lot of baggage by MK11.

As much as some of the licensed kharacters didn't do it for me I honestly sort of loved John Rambo tearing his way across Outworld. They even referenced First Blood in some of his stuff and I think some people forget that's not a action movie, that's a PTSD movie.

The best part? I for sure thought, ok we're finally going to see the original Kung Lao and get a tournament of ancient originals and ancestors. Nah Liu just kept everyone as is until the time frame he knows. I hope Johnny is even more dumb and somehow falls rear end backwards into bigger God/douche.

That's the thing, its mostly inspired by first blood based on most of his dialogue, general attitude and especially his ending. No brave Mujahideen fighters here.

I dunno about the exact changes the Genesis has but if you just want people to hate you do Sonya’s grab. Down LP LK Block (MK notation escapes me atm) and just do that forever.

Or just play like a modern online Scorpion and teleport attack forever.

D'Vorah is so different and freaky though.

I don't need like 8 versions of Sub-Zero. Oh, Sub-Zero but a girl, Sub-Zero but he's a robot, gently caress all that. Leave behind the 30 generic special forces people too.

MK11 Jade was extremely my jam as far as what I look for in a kharacter, but I had a lot of fun with Skarlet too. Would love for both those versions to come back at some point.

Yeah, same, Jade immediately appealed to me for having a lot of reach her moves and has usually been my go-to in any MK she featured in. I'm fairly casual at fighting games and don't really go to deep into the technical side of it, but even I can appreciate "press button -> bonk a guy from half a screen away"

Speaking of me being a filthy casual, has there been any word on whether they're planning on doing something like SF6's "modern" mode that simplifies inputs for specials? Because gently caress me if I can reliably do Z-inputs or full circles.

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


Jade isn't really a zoner in MK11. You can play her that way, but you're basically skipping out on her terrifying mix-up + pressure game from Delia's Dance and her extremely good B3 string to throw subpar projectiles (with the exception of EX Air Glaive abuse).

I loved D'vorah in MKX but her moveset was hosed over so badly in MK11, idk what happened. She felt awful to play, a legit trash tier character. I also played a shitload of Kotal in both games but realize in storyline he's gotten jobbed out badly. I don't think even Reptile got hosed up as often lol.

I'd like to see the "new" woman Nightwolf hinted at in his ending, which likely isn't canon anymore in Liu Kang's world but at least now they can justify a totally new version

That's a good point. I think it's partially because 90% of the time I saw one in Kombat League it was zoner morons who didn't know what to do if you could get past their things.

If she does make it into MK1, either base roster or KP2, I really hope that she is more rushdown oriented. I want UMK3 AI Jade stuff.

Also, I am pretty sure MK had a psuedo-"modern" style in 11 in relation to directional inputs. IE Back > Forward in place of QCF. Command Grabs were still difficult though with Down > Back > Forward Button for most of them.
