I'm hoping Shinnok remains important to the plot. MK4 I always felt was the most wasted potential. Shinnok could've been way more compelling and pivotal moments like the reveal that Quan Chi was the killer of Scorpion's clan should get a proper treatment. Also really interested to see how they make Shinnok's style and variations considering he was nothing more than a Shang Tsung clone in 4 but without the physical transformations.

Just asking, were gore effects and fatalities/babalities allowed on a competitive match? I was planning to buy the game after I finish the exam, but I kinda worried about seeing like online modes died by amount of ragequits, mostly from fatalities if it's true.
No.3017
>>3015Fatalities and Babalities are allowed but it's considered bad form to fatality unless it's the winning set and even then it's really just to put a stamp on the victory if you feel like it. Baballities are a different matter since it's a win without blocking once and hard to do competitively. So usually if you get one, you can do it any round and it's considered a real Psyche-Out move.
It's different from something like BlazBlue or KI where the finisher is part of gameplay and can be triggered to end the round early. But generally, the rule is don't be a dick and do it every match you win.

>>4177>>4177I wonder if we'll get any cyborgs this time around. So far only one Lin Kuei has been introduced and who knows what happened to Ketchup and Mustard.
I was thinking they could make a Cyborg char to save roster space, the varations being:
>Cyrax (Bombs, port, net)>Sektor (Missiles, port-uppercut, flamethrower)>Sub-Zero or Smoke?The characters would suffer from it, but I'd rather have that than no cyborg.

>>4188Something like this. Smoke might be more plausible though.
No.4192
>>4188>>4191Actually with the news of Kitana using Jade's weapons in one of her variations, I would say this is very likely.
Storyline wise being Sektor regains his consciousness and fights Sub-Zero to be grandmaster. After he fails and creates the Tekunin, deactivates Cyrax for his insubordination he showed while they were still humans and augmenting his tech into himself.
No.4193
>>4192Yea Kitana's "Mournful" variation makes the idea more plausible.
Why would Sektor repurpose Cyrax' tech? It's not like it's superior or anything, wouldn't he have the means to upgrade himself without disassembling Cyrax?
Also, in MK9 Cyrax was completely obedient after becoming a cyborg, what with the loss of free will and all that, so his mind would have to be freed by the Special Forces in order for his disassembly to make sense.
Unless Sektor's batshit crazy, which he has been shown to be.
No.4194
>>4193I'm guessing he would be paranoid of someone overthrowing him with how his stint in the Lin Kuei ends. He wouldn't know by what means but he would put a halt to Cyrax potentially being reawakened, having been only one of three who opposed the cyber initiative.
Disassembly happening because MK writers like the leeway of vague deaths that they can easily turn around and say "Well we didn't completely declare them dead".

Now that it works, MKX is really fucking good, far and away the best MK game
My only problem is seeing how good Rain & Fujin look, knowing NR is gonna make more DLC

I laughed when it got leaked that Mileena dies in the story, since I anticipated a lot of delicious tears would come from it
Then I play the game for myself and find out Baraka gets killed and now I'm pissed
Fuck you NRS

So what is everyone's thoughts on the game. I got it for the PC but the port is so garbage I can't run it.
I can't talk about mk on /v/ anymore. The refuse to talk about video games.

>>5311I'm happy the fucker is dead. Most hate Hsu Hao that most but not me, it was this dude. I could get behind that if it were Jarek though. That guy is a natural comedy gold mine.
>>5326I think it's mainly the 10bux IRC. With all the controversy surrounding the release, it makes it the easiest target other than GG threads to do their forum spy bullshit. Doesn't help articles are giving them ammo by spinning it into NRS being SJW friendly. No.5329

> I can't talk about mk on /v/ anymore.
I gave up on talking about fightan on /v/ in general even before this. Threads just devolved in whining about games being hard.
Anyway, I finally had the chance of playing MKX today, it was pretty fun although I'm too used to using half-steps to position myself and need to get used to having a block button after spending so much time with Injustice's back to block.

It's a forced meme, but it is called Punchwalk in the game and it's seriously all you do when playing Goro. It's kinda hilarious even without the forcing.

You go to practice mode and try shit out until it ends up at around 35% meterless, or you go to testyourmight and use the BnBs they've found.
No.5513
I've been practicing bnb combos in practice mode for awhile. I'm getting bored with practicing against standing npcs, and I don't think my new tactics will work against AI. Should I go to online now? the only thing I have a problem with is the running mechanic.

You did right, m8.
Take the time to learn the game, do some BnBs and after a couple of weeks, go online. That's perfect.

I remember reading a while ago that WB already gave the greenlight to make Injustice 2. However, there were concerns that they might be in such a hurry to push it out that they might have some other developer make the game instead of NRS (like how they decided to make a Batman prequel game and had another developer make it instead of Rocksteady)

I really hope the PC version of MKX shows them how much subcontracting their titles out can really bungle a release. And that was just a port!

My first guess for far left was Smoke, because the silhouette looks a lot like a ninja to me. But a lot of people on TYM are saying it looks like Baraka, and after seeing pictures of his MKX redesign, they could be right.
Second person could be anyone, but looks most like either Sindel or Frost to me.
My best guess for the third guy is Fujin, the silhouette looks a lot like a guy tying his hair back into a ponytail. My only other guess would be Stryker, just because the person is possibly wearing a cap.
Far right is some fat guy, has to be Bo Rai Cho.
I honestly wish KP2 turned out to be a "Revenant Pack" and they added Smoke, Stryker, Sindel, and Nightwolf as playable characters, that would have made me happiest. But eh, as long as the new DLC isn't glitchy and broken I won't complain.
