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.

I'm only upset because we ended up with Rhonda Rousey as Sonya and I, too, would like to go back in time.

MK11 let you completely alter Sonya being voice acted by Ronda Rousey and completely change her into Bridgette Wilson circa 1995. So going back in time would erase this and that's lame.

I think the only real reason I remember Movado is because he's got the same name as that fancy watch company.

I wonder what the logic was including 2 evil Supermen archetypes, 2 evil MK wizards, a single Kombat Kid and then John fuckin Cena as Peacemaker in the first round of DLK.

Lol that they bothered putting in Darrius just to make him have some of the most boring generic looking moves in the entire game so far

Guess it's true to the source material, the weird hardcore 3d era fans must be thrilled

Did you miss the assist where he helps you beat rear end by letting you spin him around you in circles? Maybe we just have different ideas of what constitutes a boring generic looking move.

I can see Doomslayer potentially being a zoner akin to RoboCop in 11. Switching between his arsenal like RoboCop for attacks and using things like his wrist blade like Rambo does with his knife. Saving the crucible blade for one of his fatalities.

And wtf are they keeping Ash Williams for KP3?

I like that Havik doesn't just look like Dollar Store Skeletor now.

Rep looked great in MK9. His default skin and his retro palette-swap ninja skin both looked dope as hell. The ninja skin looked especially great combined with his idle stance animations. He was also super fun to play.

One of my favorite Jade players from MK11 is maining Li Mei in MK1 and hell, I'm about to do the same. Her air lantern setups look so fun.

I have a sneaking suspicion that Frost is going to be a top tier kameo.

Infact, I have a feeling there's going to be 2 maybe 3 really really really good kameos that everyone will have to end up using if they want to be kompetitive and the rest will just end up being funny-that-they-included them jobbers.

I'm pretty tempted to just watch all these story videos and whatever popping up on Youtube in the last like 12 hours but I kind of want to keep things on the downlow until I actually play the game.

Give me the full roster and Kameos though, I'm down for spoiling that for myself all day.

Not excited to see Kronika show up again. Shoulda been Shang Tsung from the alternate ending of MK11 aftermath that exists in a parallel universe with its own timeline keeping the OG rivalry between him and Liu Kang alive

I mean it's possible. He has shapeshifting powers after all.

Watching the Kombat Kast I think Rain the Water Wizard is indeed very cool, but maybe it's just me and my bad eyes or just the video but the actual water effects don't look that great. It's like cartoon water.

The ad is pretty dumb, but for me it's exactly the right kind of dumb. Shame they couldn't get the original mortal kombat scream guy to do his thing. :allears:

That said, they certainly can do better. The launch trailer for 11 was the hypest poo poo ever, I hope they'll manage to match that:

Ya this ad absolutely owns. The music has to be my favorite thing about it.

Next would be MK11 Kitana. She looks so drat good and I wished she had carried over into MK1 like Liu Kang and Johnny Cage had.

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.

Just goes to show that one voice angrily shouting on Twitter for 17 years can make a difference.

I mean they look bad mostly because it's on the Switch and that it's just those derpy roster faces.

But on paper the base kameo list sounds dope and in action they look just as dope. It's just that all grouped together like that, I kind of just wish they'd dip more into their wierdos barrel.
