DLC Inc posted:Reptile was on the leaked list. I'm actually pretty certain all 5 ninjas from the Trilogy are going to be playable--Ermac is listed as DLC--for the first time since MK9. Hope they revert back to his "disguised" human form, his newer frogface sucked rear end. *screeching in Khameleon*

If correct I’m genuinely excited for Geras his design is extremely good.I said come in! posted:I am looking forward to any PC beta tests as that will likely blow the leaks wide open with data mining. PC gets zero beta access of any kind unfortunately, launch only.

Likely yeah but also because I think every NRS PC release since 9 has been completely hosed for at least a month. Maybe not Inj 1?

I'd settle for fighting games not being super weird about their young girl characters at this point. Though I guess MK isn't super into that.

Minidust posted:Yeah at least on a purely psychological level, picking a Kameo character is much better than deciding which special moves you're leaving behind. Variations felt like adding complexity for complexity's sake, solving a problem that didn't exist, not unlike the "fighting styles" of 5 thru 7. Man did anybody like Fighting Styles?? Felt like something that should have been a single character's gimmick, at most. I have a certain fondness for that era of Kombat but I don’t know that it’s earned at all. I think I just like dumb MK bullshit.

Oh I hadn’t heard about that leak, yeah that’d make sense. Though what she’d do as a Kameo that is particularly Khameleonaire is an odd question. Kombat Pack 1 leak is, of course, correct. Omni-man, Peacekeeper/maker/i forget, Homelander, Takeda, Ermac and Quan Chi. I could not give less of a poo poo about the super mens and their super powers but I gotta have my glowy skull man.

codo27 posted:Re: the post on the last page about scummy practices, yeah I wish Ed, being one of the OGs of the industry would have bucked that trend, but instead embraces and pioneers the roguery of DLC. Announcing DLC characters before the game or even the base roster is even released is a huge slap in the face lol

To be clear I don’t particularly disagree with you that they are lovely practices but I’m curious if you’d prefer to go back to owning five copies of each fighting game, which would absolutely be $70 a pop nowadays.

Jamesman posted:Like for console exclusives? I didn't realize it was a significant issue in fighting games because I'm not big on fighting games overall, but I think if a version of a game has a platform exclusive, the other versions should cost less since you're getting less content. I thought it was funny how Kratos wasn't allowed in tournaments because it wasn't fair to XBox people who didn't know how to play against him though. No yeah, as Smoking Crow notes, up until fairly recently if you wanted new characters, colors/costumes or even major or minor balance updates to a fighting game those came as a full new, full priced release. Some smaller franchises went a little less hard on the pricing but often harder on the number of rereleases. God knows the DLC era in fighting games isn’t without its flaws, you can just look at the nightmarish list of DOA DLCs for a pretty compelling argument against. But for my money I’d much rather this era of fighters and games in general where things can be patched in (semi-)reasonable time and I can simply not buy characters or costumes that don’t interest me. Though again, if we could get the piecemeal additions and the updated balance without the in-game grinds or the awful marketing practices I wouldn’t be sparing a tear for what we have now.

Boxman posted:Random question from a non-thread regular. I haven't played MK since UMK3 when I was a kiddo but 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.

If Reptile’s EX ball doesn’t either double bounce or corner carry I’m gonna be very sad Also I’m betting Johnny’s suit is some kind of timeline jumping thing because Kenshi is in one too at the start of the trailer

Demolition Man is dumb and thus fun. Time Cop is stupid and so fun but also stupid. Yes this is a theory entirely predicated on B action movies

I don’t remember who exactly, I think maybe Havik’s, explicitly shows the opponent’s entire skull shattering into hundreds if not thousands of tiny pieces. You don’t walk or really exist after any MK super but that one feels particularly egregious.
