bork · « **Reply #121 on:** March 29, 2019, 08:12:40 AM »

Been playing beta #2 for a little bit- never did get a code to access it from Amazon (lol), but the stress test beta from two weeks ago updated itself and let me start playing online on 3/26.

There's now five playable characters (Jade, Kabal, Scorpion, Baraka, and Skarlet) and one Kombat tower (just basic battles against those five) available in addition to standard versus online play. Still no training mode, which I really, really, REALLY need.

I just don't 'get' this game and practice mode would help immensely, but TBH none of these five are characters I think I'd use. I don't think I've played against anyone online who hasn't used Scorpion, either, lol. Had a series with matches against a guy who threw me repeatedly. I couldn't get out of the throws and was going all Low Tier ~~God~~Fraud over it.

I was trying to throw at the same time- to get out of throws, you just need to hit a direction and a punch (dunno if kick works too) to escape.

After that it was a simple matter of avoiding spear-spam, blocking teleport attacks, and punishing accordingly. I like the slower pace of things, but I don't like all the canned combos and general 'stiffness' that has been present in these games ever since they went 3D. Netherrealm games just do not play as smoothly as other fighting games do, IMO.

The online is fantastic, BTW. Seen some people saying that they think this might be the best online in a fighting game yet.

Best Jax has ever looked gameplay wise and aesthetically too I think. Great redesign.

nachobro · « **Reply #123 on:** March 30, 2019, 01:46:50 AM »

@bork you're best off ducking throws (without blocking) if you can see them coming. its much more consistent than trying to tech the left/right 50/50 and you can punish after.

nachobro · « **Reply #124 on:** April 12, 2019, 04:27:35 PM »

Kitana trailer plus some Dvorrah stuff

Dvorrah has a custom move where she spawns a baby bug when she dies (sorta like Jason resurrection in X). That's pretty hilarious

Also it seems Kitana has some Mileena attacks.

nachobro · « **Reply #125 on:** April 12, 2019, 04:50:16 PM »

I wasn't too into the new Dvorrah look at first but this shot has her looking legit super creepy. I dig it!

toku · « **Reply #149 on:** April 17, 2019, 05:49:46 PM »

Night Wolf. I don't think he's in this. Unless you're thinking of Kabal? he was also an MK3 character and is the dude with the hooks and speed run in this.

Himu · « **Reply #150 on:** April 17, 2019, 05:53:24 PM »

No. I know Kabal. I would never forget him.

In the Shao Kahn trailer he's fighting a blue colored character I don't recall ever being revealed (or maybe I forgot).

nachobro · « **Reply #151 on:** April 17, 2019, 06:06:34 PM »

Kotal Kahn, the dude that took over after Shao died. He's a really dope character. He's also in X if you want to check him out

He is -Kitana too- and was the bad guy in MKX. I didn't play the story mode but I thought he was still evil at the end. Pretty sure the Liu Kang and Kitana we're seeing in trailers are the younger past versions.

bork · « **Reply #155 on:** April 17, 2019, 09:40:18 PM »

MK9 and MKX backstory for Liu Kang:

Quote

In the 2011 Mortal Kombat reboot video game, Liu Kang reprises his role from the first three tournaments as one of Raiden's chosen warriors. When Shao Kahn is preparing to invade Earthrealm during the third game's events, all his allies are murdered by a soul-infused Sindel. This, coupled with Raiden's failed attempts in changing the future, causes Kang to grow more and more disillusioned with Raiden, engaging him in combat.

In both timelines, Liu Kang meets the same fate. In the original timeline, he is killed by his nemesis, Shang Tsung, and his spirit lives as a force for good. In the alternate timeline, Liu Kang is accidentally killed by his mentor, Raiden in the aftermath.[43], and his soul is corrupted, becoming a member of the Netherealm. This tie continues canonically in the Injustice 2 fighting game where Raiden is a guest character, stating during one of his opening dialogue scenes that Liu Kang's death still haunts him to this day.

Liu Kang returns in Mortal Kombat X. In the game's Story Mode, he is resurrected by Quan Chi and now serves him as one of the revenants until Sub-Zero, Scorpion and Jax are revived. He fights both Jax and Raiden in Story Mode, which he blames Raiden for his death. At the end of the story mode, he and Kitana become the new rulers of the Netherrealm due to Quan Chi's death and Shinnok's defeat. A now darker Raiden brings them Shinnok's disembodied head as a warning for them not to attack Earthrealm.[44]

Liu Kang will return in Mortal Kombat 11. In the story mode, the past iteration of Liu Kang is one of the pre-Mortal Kombat (2011) past selves who were brought by the Time Keeper Kronika to the current timeline's present day. The past Liu Kang and Kung Lao are often seen together during their quest to atone their future-selves' sins and fates of being revenants by the current timeline's late-Quan Chi to serve Shinnok.

Kronika, 😂.

I love how on the nose MK is. Might need to replay MK x. I’m sure it only takes like 3 hours.

nachobro · « **Reply #157 on:** April 17, 2019, 10:40:17 PM »

This one is definitely going to have some top tier MK ridiculous shit. Hell, one of the new characters is Shao Kahn's heavy and he's named Kollector.

toku · « **Reply #158 on:** April 17, 2019, 11:06:54 PM »

Liu Kang, Kung Lao, Kitana and Jade are all revenants now. It's part of why Raiden is all edgey now too because it was kind of his fault? So he's adopted a hardline stance against anybody coming to earth realm and trying anything, even gods. Basically he got tired of everyone calling him pussy

Raist · « **Reply #159 on:** April 18, 2019, 02:10:12 AM »

Sorry, but nothing in MK is canon unless Christophe Lambert is Raiden.

That's all fine with me. MK9 and Injustice on Vita may have not looked the best with all the reduced detail (and like no normal mapping in MK, lol), but they ran at 60 FPS and had all features intact. MK9 even had voice chat in online fights and more content than any other version released.

Am getting this on other platforms, but will keep the Switch version sealed until I know for sure it's good. The footage looks promising enough. Dragonball FighterZ is probably gonna stay the champ of Switch fighting game ports though.

Could you try and turn off the online on the ps4 and see what features you get locked out from in the game please? (Towers of Time, Krypt, earning XP/gear).

Just did, Towers of Time and the Krypt are then unavailable, Story Mode and Klassic Towers are still available.

Are there any rumors of the guest fighters this year yet

Spawn has been heavily rumored but he's also a character that has been an MK wishlist for years now and even Boon has said they've tried but things fall through or timing has been wrong so it's hard to tell if thats just a massive wishful thinking or actually happening this year.

If it's gonna happen though things are aligning for it with 11. Todd trying to get a new movie off the ground, his new social media popularity and how big MK is rn, he should be pulling for it.

kingv · « **Reply #171 on:** April 18, 2019, 10:05:36 PM »

McFarlane Toys also has the license for the MK 11 action figures.

That said... I don’t really care for the guest characters :-/

nachobro · « **Reply #172 on:** April 18, 2019, 10:23:59 PM »

Jason was really well done and easily my favorite guest character. Ninja Turtles in Injustice 2 were pretty great too. The rest were kinda whatever.

Tasty · « **Reply #173 on:** April 19, 2019, 08:07:31 AM »

Bring Jason back.

nachobro · « **Reply #174 on:** April 19, 2019, 08:34:50 AM »

I imagine his moves are probably redistributed around in this game cause I've seen that with some characters. Dvorrah has something like Jason's resurrection, Skarlet has Quan Chi's trance move, and Kitana has a Mileena variation.
