How do you feel about the letter C?
Despise it.
Loathe it.

Ed Boon's parents were killed by the letter C section of a library and I personally, will not stand for this.

It's me, the one unironic Hsu Hao fan in the entire world. Every game I wish for his return and every game Boon laughs at me specifically.

He's from the era where they kept trying to do kharacters that were basically just "Kano but a little different" instead of just using Kano, and he's arguably the least interesting of the lot. Another aspect is that his visual design was... unfortunate.

Funnily enough the only games Hsu Hao is playable in are games where Kano is also playable.

Probably the only other mild point of interest about him is that he's one of three Red Dragon clan kharacters in the series, the others being... Mavado and Daegon. Not really a sterling track record, huh?

Is he supposed to have a robot heart? Cause I don't think that's where your heart is.

Or how the circulatory system works.

I feel like if there was any MK character that didn't have a fanbase, even an ironic one, it would have to be Dairou. Everyone makes fun of Hsu Hao (and with good reason) for being the worst but that's because they remember him for being so bad. Dairou is just some nobody warrior with nothing going on. Dude looks like a generic XBox avatar.

Its especially funny knowing he's broken as poo poo in his debut game by having a 3 frame unblockable launcher that has to be jumped in a game where jumping is bad, and he still doesn't have anyone who gives a poo poo about him

If you've designed that broken of a character and people still don't remember who they are, you've really taken a trip to bland city (this premise, of course, would require the people who beg Ed for 3d era jobbers and losers to actually understand how fighting games work)

Is there gonna be another Kombat Kast (or at least trailer) before launch? Cuz we're only 15 days away and still don't (officially) know the full roster yet.

In theory this game is coming out soon.

Unclear if the marketing team was notified.

Yeah the marketing here is really bizarre

No official trailer for the invasion mode? No trailer for the last characters? Absolutely nothing about the gear customization poo poo? Steam page and official site can't make up their minds about whether it has crossplay or not?

I guess they want leaks to do the heavy lifting, copies are out in the wild now

It's okay if NRS delays this game, everybody is busy wrapping up their second playthrough of BG3 anyway.

HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE DEAD, MOTHERFUCKER?


Not really feeling these celebrity cameo voice overs. Either give me the people from the original movie or give me dedicated voice actors. "Playing Nitara took me to places in my mind, uncomfortable places, it made me feel more free and wild" no it didnt shut up!!
Anyways as a character she looks fine, now they need to do Reiko's reveal trailer. The marketing team should probably get on that.

On one hand stunt casting is inherently cringe but on the other hand Ronda Rousey is such a bad actress that it lowered my expectations so I just go "eh could be worse I guess" to this.

Pot calling the kettle black I know but who was asking for Nitara? Feel like someone at NRS/WB is trying to push her what with her being in the movie and now gets a whole reveal trailer dedicated to her.

They're pulling a lot from the 3D era in this game and Nitara was one of the characters from that era that people look back on and think "hey, she was alright".

Megan Fox is, at the very least, an actual actor with acting experience. Ronda Rousey was not and the results were painful. I’m sure this will be fine.

I also heard the game leaked and some people are posting the roster online, but I haven’t seen anything.

Edit: they posted an Invasion Mode trailer on Instagram. https://www.instagram.com/reel/CwnrVvlviUn/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

There’s an official MK page on Instagram/Facebook but not Twitter X. I don’t do TikTok but I assume they have a presence there?

I was :colbert:

Nitara was one of my favorite characters from 3d, I liked the move where she bit the opponents neck and regained health it looked gnarly on my gamecube.

Edit: and I guess at least Megan Fox is an actual MK fan, but still I dont like celebrity casting for this stuff!!

Imma be honest. I don’t know about this one guys. The tag assist stuff, the weird marketing or lack thereof. The roster. It just all feels very ho hum. I got a ton of mileage out of 11 which felt jam packed and throughly excellent. I’m worried this one isn’t gonna really live up to it.
