I can't wait for this to drop, it's been a long time since I've played a MK game. Luckily, I've blocked the DC version from my memory.

I can see kabal being popular, speed and reach in his attacks, reptile has some strong combos against the wall.TreIII said:
Good 24% from reptile in video 2 using acid balls.

What's the learning curve like for MK? I'm pretty new to the series. :\

About the same as any fighting game, to be honest. Play the story modes and see which character you are comfortable with.

Cool, thanks. I've been mainly playing SF when it came to fighting games. Stories for them sucked, imo.

Probably the same as every other game, around 6.5gb

Easier than SF or, dare I say, Marvel?

Yeah, MK is way easier than those 2 games.

LOL. Yeah, the thing with Street Fighter story is that it's all individualism and no revolving story. MK has a nice revolving story where every character is interlinked with one another. In this Mortal Kombat, it's the most since it's practically them trying to change the future so they are all working together. There are in-game cutscenes before and after every match, so it's pretty cool in this case.
The Int3rsect said:
It's a mix of Tekken and Street Fighter. Tekken when it comes to mashing buttons/combos and Street Fighter when it comes to special moves, EX attacks or dash, etc etc.
Yeah, it's quite easy to get into but as every fighter, it's always challenging to master.

Mk1 courtyard will always be awesome, the version in mk9 is exactly what I expected from a 3d version.God's Beard said:

My favorite is the desert stage, and the rooftop is really cool as well.

it might be smaller because its just a fighting game
a lot of games are less than 6.5GB

lol, I don't think he was paying tribute to Gears of War
The trailer is fucking amazing though, I just don't know if I can dive in at $59.99 day one. Portal 2 is begging me to play it, and honestly that's all I'm really interested in at this point. I've had enough fighters over the last few years, unfortunately, so MK is going to have to wait until it's considerably cheaper

Haha yeah. Any kind of story in a fighting game is almost non-existent. The MK story is what's really pulling me in.

Fuck it. I went ahead and pre-ordered on Amazon. Had a $25 credit so the game will cost me $35. Been playing the demo a lot lately and having fun with it so might as well just buy the full game.

Wow, Kabal is sick. Reptile isn't too bad either. These matches got me interested.
Have we gotten any feedback from them or other pros about what they think about the game.
And this game definitely has the most and best backgrounds in a 2.5D in a long time.
Re: Online
We'll know for sure after Tuesday.
For all we know the current lag-reports could be related to not all servers/whatevers been functioning, just a few for the reviews copies (same way in some games people can't play online until the game's officially released), or just general things that will be patched; since they say there will be a "day one patch" that fixes some of the things/infinites "early adopters" have found.

OK cool, I'm still waiting to find out how good online is before I decide to buy this, if the online is shit I can easily borrow the game from a friends and do all the singleplayer shit. So I guess I have to wait till Tuesday before I decide if I want to preorder.

it's in the game. But Kano is the one that does it.
Spiderjericho said:
A lot of it is positive so far. I don't think MK9 will force UMK3 into retirement by any means, but this likely will shape up to be a solid game for the MK competitive scene to rally behind, and help MK get some nice street cred.
One thing is definite though. This game ensures MKvDC's demise. :lol
There's also the region-lock thing, which hasn't been mentioned yet. In your case that you're in the UK, the game may have problems (or not) when it launches in the US this Tuesday, but doesn't mean that it will be the same (good or bad) in PAL-territories in Thursday.KAL2006 said:
So we'll also have to wait for reports from gamers from different regions and their experiences, to see if there's a difference in netcode by region, or if it sucks in each of them.

I feel so stupid buying version with "dlc". Stupid, stupid, stupid!
Don't feel stupid just yet. Yesterday, the thread went like this:
Exchange the first, between players whose names are lost in the mists of time...
- Holy shit! Just unlocked Classic Reptile in the Krypt! Retro costumes in game, probably fatalities too!
- Nope. You just unlocked his regular alt.
- : 0
Exchange the second: Annihilation
derFeef: Retro costumes are unlockable, they just require extra work to get. Spoiler thread has all the deets!
Aske: Please tell us more, you magnificent bastard!
Mr. E. Yis: Retro costumes haven't been konfirmed yet, all your cherished OT beliefs are built on a foundation of lies!
...So we still don't really know, unless it's since been confirmed either way in the spoiler thread.

Without spoiling, retro kostumes are not in the Krypt at all. Maybe somewhere else, but all the unlocks seem to be there.

Also you can do at least one retro fatality (spoiler of fatality)

From the spoiler thread it looks like the classic alts are not in the Krypt but may be unlockable with certain win conditions: think Santa flying across the moon, two flawless victories and a fatality. If true I'd almost prefer it this way...very old school.GrayFoxPL said:

Had a chance to play this all day yesterday... Wow, the game is amazing. It still surprises me how excited and hyped I am over a Mortal Kombat game. I only played through the single player campaign, didn't get many VS matches in. Oh, and I didn't get a chance to check out the netcode, but here's a few bullet points about my play time.
-The game is FUN! And I can definitely see this being tournament worthy.
-BEST background stages in video game history. THE BEST.
-CONTENT! This game makes MvC3 look so bare bones --time to step up your game Capcom!

every post 16-bit fighting game in history probably makes MVC3 seem barebones. i love the game but they obviously phoned most of the features in. ranked matches barely work at all, no spectator mode.
