Haha Frost. I dunno why but that made me laugh.

Yea I think it's Smoke which I thought was the guy left of the Smoke. How the fuck is noob saibot that? The fuck? That should be smoke.

I hope Frost is in this game. She was cool, at least better than

When I was 11 and first played Mortal Kombat 2, my best friend gave me a magazine with all the characters and their moves.

I never once considered that he had in fact RUINED THE GAME for me.

You need to get some education on the new Noob

 

[Nirolak]

I think it's Frost but I may be wrong.

Anyhow the character art is horrible.(character select screen) I'm hyped for the game and demo was cool but man those artworks are dumb looking.

Apparently there's a slice of the image that's bigger. He definitely looks manly, unless Frost has had some very hard years since Deadly Alliance.

 

[KevinCow]

and honestly, boon & co: would it hurt to edit yourselves a bit? how many fucking ninjas do we need. subzero, scorpion. you're good. know what i mean? 2 ninjas is enough.

I disagree.

Not enough ninjas.

Needs more Rain and Chameleon.

Make some new ones while they're at it.

How about Earth and Wind ninjas to go with the Fire and Ice ones we already have.

And a Light ninja to counter Noob Saibot's Shadow ninja thing.

Just remove all the characters who are not ninjas or cyborgs and replace them with new ninjas and cyborgs.

MK has a relatively strong sense of story, don't mock it because Capcom and others used to and sometimes still makes nonsense and outright contradictory stories

I think MvC3 has a decent attempt at a story does it not?

As a long-time MK fan, had I not already been aware of the MK's longing to make their character "more interesting", I would be PISSED if I found out

Liu Kang may be more arrogant and possibly evil by the end of the game

Skarlett, the new to the series Red Female Ninja, will be in the first DLC batch.

I don't know if they finished the comic that was supposed to accompany the game so I don't actually know

The point is that they try to make the characters interact someone logically even if the characters include a divine fox or a giant heat with a rocket butt

PS Even the earlier VS. games had character storylines (Akuma and Wolverine, for example)

Just him again. He's a hidden character, which means you pick him through the spots on each side.

I'm very excited about this game. This has been a great year for fighters.
Thank you Street Fighter 4 for reviving the genre, long live 2D fighters.

It's the other way around, as Quan Chi was first.

 

[Slamtastic]

They did.

It's like 10 pages long and tells as much story as an NES manual.

By comparison MK9 has in game cutscenes. Hours thereof.

Yeah that sounds cheap enough, but I edited my post in case.

Another arc I remembered from VS. is Guile looking for Charlie, who became Shadow

they didn't put a lot of work into it but they did have at least a background for those games

 

[sixteen-bit]

I hate how they're all looking forward at the exact same angle.

I know, WTF. They should be looking at each other like the Brady Bunch intro. Preorder Kanceled.

second to last row... could someone tell me who is to the left and right of Baraka?

The lack of Shinnok in this game ruins it...

Will likely not buy it for that.

Are you guys reading the leaker's twitter? He says the 360 character is a WB character:

Thanks (you too BloodySinner)... Makes sense now.

How about last row (directly under Baraka)?

 

[bumpkin]

I don't know how I feel about "pompadour" Smoke, but at least Subby no longer looks like the Shredder (from TMNT). What I'd like to know is why Noob looks like the villain from Batman: Mask of the Phantasm.

 

[MisterHero]

If it's a WB character MK9 360 can now be MK versus Superman

I'll buy a hundred

Oh. That's him? I kept thinking it was someone else... I miss the MK2 version.

Duke Nukem should be the 360's cameo character.

Well, the GiantBomb info was posted last week and I think it was agreed that it was taken out of context. Boon said something around the lines of "extra content", and a few sites reported it as "extra character". Granted the original rumor said it was a character and that was posted by an user from this forum before spreading outside; so who knows.

And WB doesn't own the characters from SuckerPunch, much less Voldemort from Harry Potter; neither the tweets say about being a 360 character.

WB character for 360? Cyber Daffy Duck!
