Quan Chi doesn't look that menacing. He looks spaced out. Kratos looks like Quan Chi killed his daughter or something...well he always look like that.

Quan Chi never looked menacing to be honest. Just an evil, Machiavellian dude with tattoos and skin discoloration. Baraka scares me though.Crakatak187 said:

I haven't been this excited about MK since Shaolin Monks and before that was MK4 which was a disappointment. I was really hoping that MK go back to 2d after seeing SF4 and I'm glad it did.

True custom soundtrack integration like Wipeout HD and PGR3? Not enough games do this and just opt for the lazy OS-level custom soundtracks from the guide/XMB. That is fucking AWESOME!Blackvette94 said:

The waterfalls stage at night looks really good, I'd like a wallpaper of that.

My god. 30 stages.Stormwatch said:
They have Goro's lair, some sort of dojo, two versions of the pit, a day AND night courtyard, the Netherrealm, bottom of the pit, multiple Earthrealm locations, multiple throne rooms, etc.
This game is going to be so fucking awesome.

I think this easily has the most stages for a fighting game this gen.Stormwatch said:

The one thing i hated about MVC3 is the lack of stages, only had 9 with 30 something characters? Cmon...and all these leaks are making the wait harder!

The stages all look fantastic and they picked the right ones to bring back and update. Really dig the new one on the beach.
That's a really nice group of stages. I find it impressive how much content seems to be packed into the game for day 1. Seems like NRS really went back to the drawing board and focused on quality over quantity as far as some of the other crazy modes and such we've seen in MK games as of recent.

I didn't mean it as a jab to SF, more like a jab at SF, BB, T6, VF5, BF, and the rest.

DARN, WAS SUPPOSED TO BE AN EDIT! 
29 stages + 2 simple/specials (Pictochat/Electroplankton) + 10 from previous games + Customs
Quantity-wise it has more though.
I think _dementia was taking a shot at most other "big" fighters, like Marvel 3 that has like 8 stages.

That's a good question. Some of them don't have any obvious fatal hazards, like the Shaolin Temple.Kweh said:
But most of them do have hazards. Check out Khan's badass pet. It'd be cool to see that thing chow down on somebody.

I'll never understand why they feel the need to release multiple versions of the same game. I'd be pissed if I were an SF fan and had to buy the same game over and over. I thought we were done with that shit after the 90's. But anyway, that's for another thread I guess.TreIII said:

Man those are terrible costumes. It's like the porn parody of MK. Actually, even the recent porn parodies (Batman, Star Trek) have been better quality than that.Chairhome said:

Well, if Boon and dem truly do live up to the promise of a fighting game that can support itself for the rest of the gen (thanks to patch updates and timely DLC updates)? It will be a thing that Capcom will have to recognize a new trend that especially the Western demographic will come to expect, going forward. Capcom may be forced to adapt as such kicking and screaming, but they'll have to recognize. :lol
Any way, I believe the best and easily the most exciting thing about this game, can be boiled down to how a friend of mine put it on SRK: This fighting game is an American-made production. It's being made distinctly for US. It's not a hand-me-down port of a Japanese arcade game, which was originally constructed for a different type of gaming crowd altogether.
And if worse comes to worse, I can be guaranteed that Boon, Sanchez and the rest will actually understand me if I have a problem with their game. :lol

As someone that lives in St. Louis, NRS is actually the closest major developer to my physical location, and I think that counts for something!TreIII said:

Quan Chi isn't supposed to get those tatoos until Deadly Alliance.. I don't know why they always ignore that...

Megacon is in Orlando right? Yeah, that carpet screams Florida. Thats where I met my wife
Impressed with the backgrounds, they look good and wow, 30 of them! Gotta give them respect there.

The courtyard is awesome! These stages are really cool. God why can't it be 4/19 yet. Time to go play the demo again.

My favorite is the graveyard. It was featured in the Noob reveal video. I don't know what that green column in the background is, but it certainly looks awesome.strideramc said:
Yup, in Orlando. Did you meet her in Orlando or at Megacon? Haha.Raging Spaniard said:Megacon is in Orlando right? Yeah, that carpet screams Florida. Thats where I met my wife

Wat. How? How does Mortal Kombat doing well mean that people who are currently buying Capcom fighting games and DLC will stop doing so? Capcom's success is completely independent of Mortal Kombat. The two are not mutally exculsive.

The physical form of blasphemy
Blazblue and MK9 seem like they're going to have the best stages this gen. The MK ones are pretty gdlk.

I get the feeling that they're going to be ignoring a lot of the continuity for this game.Uzumaki Goku said:
New cannon, new story is around the lines of Shaolin Monks in the sense that is a retelling of the original story, rather than a full "what if" situation.Uzumaki Goku said:
Read some parts of the beginning of the story mode (couldn't resist); and situations of characters were changed; characters that were not in that MKI tournament are now in the tournament, reasons of some of the characters for being there were changed too,...all that on top of the changes that Raiden is trying to make because of his visions.

Yep, the entire premise of the story is that it's a retcon. Don't be surprised to see some unlikely alliances and what not in the story mode.SapientWolf said:
