Mortal Kombat X: Official Shaolin Trailer!

So basically all of the MK1/2 cast are returning, aside from Shang and possibly Baraka.

And so far ALL the chars that debuted in MK3 (Stryker, Nightwolf, Sindel, Sheeva, Cyrax, Sektor, Kabal) aren't returning.

There are more MK4 chars than MK3 chars.

Missing from MK2:
Jade, Smoke, Noob :(
Kintaro who cares?
Samsung? Shao Kahn?
 
I haven't played one of these since OG in early 90's....and I am soooo pumped for this one!!!! Going to watch movies to re-acquaint myself with movies to prepare my lore knowledge.

Does anyone know what the "BloodCode" is for this one is yet? There's no "C" button on X1 controller.

Also will Wii U version have blood?
I know there is no Wii U version, just wanted to remind the kids that there was a time when blood and gore was taboo!
 
Nah mkda sub looks like a white guy cosplaying as a Chinese man i like how in mkx he looks asian

Does he? I guess if one thinks that Kano minus the cyborg eye looks Chinese...

Then again, looking at his history, Sub Zero unmasked has never once looked Chinese in the slightest.



edit: I just read up on his history a bit and apparently he's only half-Chinese. Still doesn't excuse the boring design.
 
Did they ever explain which Sub-Zero that was (elder or younger) or how Sub-Zero is now un-cyborg'd? Or is that the elder Subby un-Noob'd?

Everything's pointing to it being young Sub, but there hasn't been any explanation for why he's no longer a cyborg.
 
The comic says that it's the younger but we don't know how he got uncyborg'd yet.

Well, if Quan Chi can raise them from the dead then I guess restoring their bodies wouldn't be a big deal for him.

We saw Sindel too, and she got obliterated by Nightwolf.
 
I am really hoping the PC version has decent netcode and community.....

That's entirely up to High Velocity Software.

I would have preferred that Netherrealm handled the PC version, like they are with the PS4 and XB1 releases rather than outsourcing.

HVS is also ported MK9 for PC, which I have no experience of it's netcode. So whatever job they did with MK9 is likely to be expected of MKX.

Crunchy is a Necromancer..

Yes and last time we saw the revived Kuai in the Netherrealm near the end of 9 his body wasn't exactly fleshy

Besides we're confirmed to see the process happen in the comic eventually iirc

speaking of the comic are issues still coming out? i havent kept up with it the last time i read it
Havik showed up
 
I think it's hilarious that every dead character from MK9 is getting a revenant form, yet only the ones NRS likes will actually get restored. Sucks to be Smoke, Stryker, etc. lol

Also, at this point the only characters that we know are in the game but haven't been "officially" revealed are Shinnok, Jax, and Erron right? Plus the unlockable sekret character.
 
Yep, that's what they said in the last Stream. Blew my mind, lol NRS!

That's... an odd regression. The tag-team combat added a lot of interesting scenarios to story fights and the challenge tower, and made it more fun to play with a group of friends.

But uh... however you want to design your game NRS... :\
 
Wow, i just realized that. o_o

I'm gonna miss Cyrax...

Goddamn. He and Sektor were some of my mains in MK9.

It's only natural that I (and a lot of other people for that matter) are going to be disappointed by the roster, but the total omission of cyborgs REALLY hurts. Boon tweeted this a while back though.



Character design in MKX is all over the place. D'Vorah, Kotal and Ferra/Torr look like amazing new characters to the roster, while the designs of Sonya, Jacqui, Takeda, Kung Jin, Kitana and Liu Kang are terrible. Here's hoping the alt. costumes I haven't seen yet are more to my liking.

You are kidding, right? Jacqui looks alright, Sonya and Kitana's design were never as good as they are in MKX, Old Liu Kang looks awesome and... Yeah, the two guys look kinda bad. But seriously, how exactly do Kitana and Sonya look bad? You sure you aren't talking about MK9, because they sure look embarrassing in that game and they look fine in MKX.
 
Takeda and Kung Jin remind me of characters like Kobra and Dairou from Deception--bland nobodies who will never appear again (sans Trilogy/Armageddon situations).

No, I'm not kidding.

Very subjective I guess, but I disliked Kitana and Sonya's design in MK9 as well. Kitana's has improved, but Sonya's remains on the same generic level. Weird face, lame outfit.

I know they are human, and adding "something special/unique" to human characters is somewhat hard to do, but I just find them incredibly dull looking. Even Sub Zero's alt is very generic and uninteresting to me.

Takeda definitely had a lot of personality in the pre-battle quips during the last Konbat Kast (even with the terrible voice acting) plus he's got like plasma beams and spiked whips and shit. He's pretty cool.

Kung Jin is pretty eh.
 
Except for Deadly Alliance, where he got unceremoniously killed in the intro cutscene.

I stopped playing after Deadly Alliance, In fact the only thing I remember from that was Reptile's crab-style. I though Kang was in that wearing chains. Maybe I'm lost.

Well on the forum site Everyone is loving takada, so you be wrong

Kung Jin all relies on how he plays in hands and in story
