Hopefully the things like Brutalities and Fatalities will just be there from the bat. I could care less about what my sword looks like though.

Twibbit posted:I was trying to come up with a joke reason why we have not Reptile yet, but then I realized that in this timeline, his people and realm are probably alive and well and he is likely just chilling. Khameleon was spotted in the background of one of the story trailers that released recently. So Zaterrans are around at least.

Wanderer posted:Scorpion's MK11 towers ending had him discover that his family's death was a Dr. Who-style fixed point in time, for reasons that were beyond anything he could learn with Kronika's power. Sub Zero (Bi Han) kills Smoke and a majority of the Lin Kuei so Scorpion (Kuai Liang) vows vengeance. MK 13/2 has Smoke and other Lin Kuei returning as zombie cyborgs.

Wanderer posted:He introduces himself in the reveal trailer as "Earthrealm's protector and the God of Fire." Either Kang doesn't have Kronika's power anymore, or he's not inclined to run off to reset the timeline whenever any little thing goes wrong. (You hear that, Barry Allen?) you got me nerd raging Kronika is the only named Titan that we are aware of. Shinnok is a fallen/banished Elder God. Cetrion is just an Eder God.

Shinji2015 posted: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. You can just say you like zoners. Its ok.

exquisite tea posted: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). 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. Perestroika posted: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" 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.

Shinji2015 posted:MK/NRS's default inputs are the simplified directional inputs like D, F, 2, and the alternative inputs are SF-style QCF/rolling inputs, but you're usually better off using MK inputs, especially on pad. Like, a B,F input usually translates into a HCF input in the alternative scheme. That's what it was. Thanks. It's been a minute since I've actually played an MK game since I decided to try other fighters after DBFZ. Should have still known after all the years of UMK3 when I was a kid.  I'm very glad SF6 has it's modern controls because I am so god awful at it otherwise. I've gotten the directional stuff down, but for some reason 6 buttons to attack on a controller my brain just can't get together.

Floodixor posted:was there anything just about the base game of MK11 that really irked people? Like how is MK10 better than MK11 for instance, I guess. I dunno, I like MK11 a lot aside from the krypt grindy bullshit but I don't know a ton about fighting games like you guys do As someone else mentioned, the movement was definitely the worst part of MK11. Being said, I don't miss the run button at all. The thing I liked the least though was that custom variations allowed for the absolutely most annoying zoner spam you can imagine. Genuinely unfun to play against Skarlet imo and I played Ninja Variant Shang Tsung that could just projectile parry.

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. I want to say they were available via time crystals in MK11

PostNouveau posted:I wouldn't even say bad. loving annoying to play against. But it's not like you'd say ah, Dr. Fate in Injustice 2 is a bad character because I groan whenever my opponent picks him. Nah, Cetrion was a dumpster fire of a character from the get go. Elder God of Virtue, Life, and Light? Yeah, that sounds like someone that should be playable to start with. Then give her the most annoying moveset on top of that.

Wanderer posted:They built up to a Raiden heel turn with Liu Kang as lord of the Netherrealm and then suddenly abandoned it in MK11 in favor of a time-travel plot that hit two successive reset switches and let them bring back a host of characters who'd been conclusively killed off by that point. If your two theories are "maybe these writers aren't great" or "WB made one of their studios do something stupid," I'd go with the latter every time. Ah yeah, kollector, the guy who was only in the game because he was to be executed when the time-quake happened and wasn't. Pinnacle of writing.

Annihilation was better imo. But only because as soon as nightwolf shows up, the whole movie goes off the rails. Fun to watch and make fun of. New mk movie was just about some dude with literal plot armor for a super power.

C. Everett Koop posted:And 9 was a retcon of the first three, so my math holds up for the most part. Mortal Kombat stopped being about The Tournament a long time ago. A reverse storyline to MK4 would have been pretty rad. Dark Raiden leading Earthrealm forces in an invasion/war against Netherrealm/Liu Kang would have been a great way to continue the story of betrayal that those two had going on.

exquisite tea posted:Reptile is a classic FG example of having an outsized fanbase despite never being especially popular at any point in the series. I'm surprised that Kung-Jin is somehow the 12th most popular pick. Kung Jin was easy to pick up. Just dive kick into 50/50. Reptile required a bit more nuance, and IIRC it was only his variation that had the DoT Proximity move that was really played much at higher levels.
