How do you feel about the letter C?
Despise it.
Loathe it.
Hate it.
Ed Boon's parents were killed by the letter C section of a library and I personally, will not stand for this.

When the mob and the press and the whole world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree beside the river of truth, and tell the whole world Diabeetus.
Johnny Cage loving rules.

It also feels like his family is the only canon use of the letter C.

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."


Those were the innocent times before Ed Boon vowed to abolish the letter C forever.

What a horrible thread to have a post.
Ed Boon looks at the name "Johnny Cage" and suppresses a shudder of rage.

My head-cannon is that Chameleon is just Khameleon disguised as a male ninja. Explains why she has a backstory and he doesn't.

Does anyone remember how they've handled pre-order bonus skins in the past? Do they become regularly available later? The Van Damme skin sounds fun, but the kombat pass doesn't interest me too much, so I'm not gonna drop an extra 30 bucks on a costume.

MK9 through 11 all got a "complete edition" eventually that included all the DLC in a single package.

I own Mortal Kombat XL (geddit?), and all the DLC stuff was available from the start unless it was something that had to be unlocked via the Krypt.

iirc Mortal Kombat 11 NEVER let you get the Deadly Alliance Sub-Zero after missing the preorder for it and Kold War Skarlet was forever stuck in Russia

Kold War Skarlet was made purchasable with Time Krystals in early 2020. Not sure about the other skin though.

MK11 did individual reveal trailers for specific characters, and had like 9 kombat kasts.

MK1 is doing these combined based on theme trailers instead, so theres going to be way less. It will be virtually impossible for them to catch MK11's marketing production volume. Like they're 20 videos behind MK11 and we will probably get 2 to 3 more character reveal trailers + a launch trailer + maybe some surprise game system reveal trailers. And thats what 6? lol

Feels like they're still holding a lot back about the story, too. I'm still not entirely sure what the overall conflict is about beyond "Shang Tsung is causing problems." And yeah, that is bad, but I'd like specifics. We're this far in and they haven't even really revealed that many antagonists other than pre-order bonus Shang Tsung and Havik(Sub-Zero and Rain are probably going to be villains too, but they haven't outright shown that yet).

Impressions of the beta.
Playing as Li Mei: I suck at this game, the game sucks.
Playing as Kitana: I am at base competence of this game and the game rocks!

I normally gravitate towards rush down characters which is what Li looked like, but she just does not gel with me at all... maybe when the full release has a practice mode. But in the mean time I shall throw a ridiculous number of fans into Liu Kang's face
