Yeah. It seems hit-or-miss for me. I got into Living Towers a few times, but the rest I get a message saying none are available.

Oh yeah, I love how Takeda plays. He has options in just about every area except in the corner, at least in the teleport variation. Feels like I don't have to work so hard to get a win which is what irks me with Kotal Kahn. That guy is just too slow.
Gonna try out Kenshi tomorrow. Seeing people completely zone with Balanced looks so cool.
So far my main focuses are Takeda, Ermac, and Kotal, but I get the feeling Kenshi is gonna win over Kahn soon.

Finally got all the 2nd Fatalities for each character. Only left for me to unlock in the Krypt are a couple more Brutalities, concept art, music, and possibly character costumes

Not sure if it's been mentioned, I'll be honest I didn't look very hard.
I have the problem on PS4 where the game crashes when I try to load it. Apparently the cause is it trying to log in at WB servers or something like that, so I disabled the Internet on my PS4 and started the game up.
When I went to the character select screen all 4 DLC characters had slots. Jason's said "Buy Jason Now" or whatever, same thing it says for people who didn't catch Goro with the pre-order. The other slots just had shadows and said "Coming Soon."
I bought the version from PSN that included the Kombat Pack, so that might make a difference. But I wouldn't be surprised if Jason is available very soon.

When I saw it, I thought that the DLC was out already so I went to the settings and flipped the connection back on. When I did that it logged in to the game server and updated something (in-game). Once the update happened the characters weren't there anymore. I just tried disabling the network and starting it again, but it's too late it seems.
I hadn't played the game for a couple days at least before today because of the crash issue. If there's anyone out there that hasn't opened it on PS4 for it to update recently, I'd try it out and see if they're there for you too.
edit: what I'm assuming is an identifier for what version I'm running now (post WB data update from today) is 0.138-124-ce4cf1de. So if you're on that its too late. This is the number that shows on the WB copyright splash screen, to be clear.

EDIT: Does anyone have a good way of grinding for koins? I want all of Takeda's stuff.
PC MKX netcode in action:
It never displays the ping of the opponent. Bortal Wombat is me. Without a region lock or at least a clear region indicator it's impossible to know if you're getting matched up against somebody on a different continent or with a generally bad connection.
IMO this is the reason most people think the netcode sucks. It's probably not really the netcode that much - it's the functionality that supports the netcode.
I should be able to restrict myself easily to playing UK players to avoid distance-related latency, but the current system makes that impossible.
This is basic, basic stuff. SSF4 came out in, what, 2010, and it's better in almost every way than the functionality of MKX.

It takes so damn long to find a match online :/ I want to play more, but it isn't fun waiting five minutes for a match.
I can't believe most people would join Lin Kuei instead of Special Forces, but it is what it is.I can't believe more people would join Quan Chi over Sonya.

I think the online setup is not that great. It takes so long to find a match and you have to go through more menus than it seems needed.
I wish it had practice mode interrupt like capcom games, so I can mask the waiting around while practicing stuff.
Then when I get in a game, it's laggy!!! lol

Something's not right though man. On Injustice for PS4 I could vs a friend online and it was actually not bad. On MKX I vs the same buddy and it's garbage, and tons of input lag.

They had quite a bit of time to tweak the netcode for Injustice, though.
I don't know if you saw way earlier in this thread but I mentioned I'm playing on ps4. Are you??
I figured they would have the most numbers, cause ninjas. Would have been interesting if Scorpion's group was a faction choice.
For what it's worth I think you can practice while you wait for your turn in KOTH. Though you would be missing out on who and how your opponents fight.

Same happens with me on XB1. It showed once, never since.
LOL, omg yes. Just the other day I was having some harsh words with MKX about this very issue. Ermac is a biatch. lol made me not like him.

For those who still are affected by the PS4 blocked switches in the Krypt problem, and do not want to wait for a patch from NRS, someone found a good workaround, and it does not involve losing any player settings progress.
Link to WBE Support thread discussing this
The steps are:
- Uninstall the game.
- Re-install the game and Goro DLC if applicable (if your copy is digital, this kind of sucks, I know). Do not install the cumulative (now 3GB) patch, however.
- Disable auto-upload for MKX (considering that the game uses 11MB of online storage per match replay recording, this probably is a good idea anyway). This is just to be safe and have a backup of the original saves. You might alternatively copy the saves to USB.
- Launch the game without patching (do remember go to notifications to pause the patch download again if necessary). This means you will be back at version 1.0.
- You will notice that the Krypt and even the Story modes are disabled in the single player menu. This has to do with checking the player settings file version in the main menu, do not worry.
- Now, force the game to overwrite the player settings file by doing something such as starting a single player match and quitting. You will notice in the character selection screen that all the extra costumes are gone. Again, this is normal, do not worry.
- Go back to the main menu. Now that the settings file was overwritten with the older version number, the Krypt and Story modes are enabled again.
- Now, start Krypt mode. You will notice that you start with exactly the same amount of Koins as you ended with last time. (In fact, if you play another single match you will now see that all the costumes that existed as of version 1.0 are back).
- Go to the infamous blocked levers and door. In version 1.0, when all levers are stuck, the game interprets that as successfully unlocking the door. So, just go ahead and open it.
- Allow the game to save the progress, and then leave the Krypt.
- Now quit the game, and update it. That's it, you got past that horrible door in the Krypt, and did not lose anything in the process.
Should anything go wrong in this, you can still restore your backed up saves, but I can guarantee it did work for me.
Do note that this bug has already been acknowledged by NRS and is going to be patched along with other Krypt bugs very soon either way (probably next week). So, only do this if you are very impatient and/or keen on unlocking everything in the Krypt (like me).

Nah, Corrupted Shinnok is worse. If you're unlucky, he just spams those chest death rays and you're dead with four hits. Feels like the Tekken 5 Dark Ressurection final boss.

I thought this too but then folks started doin a lot of his neutral game. Holy crap is his neutral scary. He even has a dashup launcher as a normal move! Just dashed up into an uppercut and juggle me for something like 40%

So I've been doing pretty damn good with Kitana, lots of combo variations at around 30-40% and even I managed to pull some off, both against the AI and online. Then I met a super defensive Ermac and my life was ruined. He was constantly sitting there blocking and since Kitana has no string that starts or goes into an overhead there wasn't much I could do but get lucky with grabs. She only has one OH move that knocks them down but that's it :7.
What to do in these situations? I guess grab cancel is my only option? Or getting lucky with an OH neutral jump.

Anyway I can improve of this? I tried cancelling the grab but doesn't seem to work unless I'm not timing correctly.
I'm kinda enjoying Goro more than I thought.
Edit: Ok managed to do Dragon Spin + Fist Furry + Shokan Massacre for 33% damage.

I thought so too, but apparently that's not the case. I just found the inputs for Cassie's Selfie fatality online, went into fatality pratice, and input the correct inputs and she did it. And then the ??????? under the movelist had changed into the inputs for the fatality.
