If you're on Xbox One, both MKXL and Kombat Pack 2 are up for pre-order (both come with the cosplay pack if you do in face pre-order).

I have a question, I have Mortal Kombat X for the XBOX ONE..should I upgrade to the XL version or just buy the DLC not sure what I should do, or if its even possible to buy everything
If you haven't bought/preordered anything, buy XL, it comes with Goro/KP1/KP2
If you've bought Kombat Pack 1 (Tanya,Tremor,Predator,Jason), just buy Kombat Pack 2.

Yeah I havent bought anything additionally for Mortal Kombat X..just bought the game when it was released and thats it
Awesome will just trade in the game to get XL, just have to find a good place to trade it into so I can get good credit for it, I missed out on the gamestop 50 percent bonus a few weeks ago

Cast goes live in 30-ish minutes.
Leatherfaces 3 variations are Killer, Butcher, and Pretty Lady.
Each variation has its own costume.
Butcher seems the coolest, best costume, and a really fast funny looking command grab.
They showed a new Mileena brutality with Instant Air Sai.
Other then that I wasn't paying a lot of attention.
Also more stage fatalities then just the pit.

What we learned:
LEATHERFACE
Leatherface has 3 variations (each comes with a different mask / outfit)
- Killer (good range, sweep distance attacks including overhead, low, unblockable mix-ups, based around a stance input)
- Butcher (close range, uses a hammer)
- Lady Killer (ranged, throws his chainsaw straight, angled, air straight, air angled)
2 of Leatherface's brutalities:
- one is a chainsaw Kung Lao split in half
- another is a bash on the head multiple times with the hammer - it's really, really good. Great animation, goes on longer than expected.
1 of Leatherface's Fatalities
- A Kung Lao split - simple, but kind of disappointing considering the brutality is basically the same.
Netcode
Might not be ready for XL launch, but at the least, VERY soon after
Stage Fatalities
Hinted that more, beyond the Pit, are coming in XL (!)
Brutalities
Not only are they adding some to XL, but there's still some base game brutalities not yet found
Beta Patch Notes
The current beta is 3 weeks old - so some of the stuff the beta has will be changed come XL's release. One new thing shown as in the updated XL version of the game was Sub-Zero's slide into ice ball can now actually freeze the opponent.
Costumes
I believe new mobile unlocks for Cassie & Jacqui have already been leaked, but they confirmed these mobile costumes are coming. They also confirmed fan service freebie costumes coming with info soon.
Another Kombat Kast next Thursday too.

I'm so disappointed in the fact that my favorite outfit has the lamest variation..

man, leatherface is the most boring fighting character i've ever seen
throwing the chainsaw and it magically teleporting back is such a dumb looking move with no basis in the character's history, used to shoehorn in a generic high/low/instant air Mk zoning moveset because they ran out out of way to swing a chainsaw at someone in the first variation
fucking incomplete XL where you still need a phone to play the stupid mobile to have an actual complete game
i signed up for the beta on the first day and didn't get in
i hope i can get SFV running on my computer, even if it's in 800x600 at minimum everything

Long story short I bought MKX on PC at release as I didn't have a PS4 back then and it was awful, one of the worst ports ever (High Voltage...). The online was especially bad, the main server went down every day, often multiple times a day and even when it was up every game was so laggy and filled with button delay it wasn't fun at all. With MK XL coming out I'm wondering how's the community on PS4 and is the online smooth and fully playable?
Community online is still big, online is eh. But the beta online is pretty good so long as the connections are good, so once that goes live (hopefully with the XL launch) life should be pretty good.

Right, so it would be wise to wait for reviews of the new online code then. I feel like they totally scammed me with the PC version which honestly wasn't fit for purpose, so double dipping and giving them more money hurts me to my core but if the online were perfect on PS4 I could just about justify it as I enjoyed the game.

I'm in the online BETA - apparently it's still 3 weeks old compared to the version Netherrealm are actually on at this point and it's already incredible. A WORLD of difference. All the pro players, who are more likely to notice tiny input lags or frame drops, are pretty vocally saying it's a gamechanger in terms of how closely it mimics offline play when you are against someone with a good connection.

And will this new system be ready for the release of XL or sometime after?
Yes, either with it, or closely after.
They are not 100% sure yet, they don't want to release it until it's ready.
I bought a Xbone for this game yesterday. RIP PC. so far I've lost once in ranked and am something like 40-1, lol. Playing on PC is like training at high altitude. The connections were so bad this is like a cake walk lol.
By the way, Xbox to PC streaming is amazing. I'm playing MKX online on my laptop with my Xbone in the basement no problem.
I really did miss getting called a fucking faggot. You don't get that on PC, lol. Missed that from the 360 days.

What we've learned from the Bo Rai Cho stream:
NETCODE
Online introduces 3 frames of lag - you can set offline to 3 frames of lag to train in 1:1 environment.
STAGE FATALITY
They forgot to show another one, but confirmed they will next week
ERMAC SKIN
Crimson Ermac (like the Blue Steel Sub-Zero/Gold Scorpion ones) will be $1.99 and proceeds go to grassroots tourneys and pot bonuses. Launches same day as MKXL.
BO RAI CHO
Bad news (for me): his farts are in all variations - I was hoping we were going to have a more mature option. Fart frame traps.
Good news: he's fast/animated very well. Some really sweet moves. Supposed to be a more complex character.
Variations:
Dragon breath: blows flames/can light his farts on fire (no joke)
Drunken Master: drinks from level 1-3 (gets more moves/more powerful moves). As long as he keeps drinking, he's fine. If he stops drinking, he'll vomit and be in stun after 10 seconds. Has some cool animations.
Bartitsu: moves that use a cane (really great range on the uppercut)
Fatality shown: pours alcohol into his opponent's mouth, lights them on fire - they breathe fire then explode.
Brutality 1 shown: jump & dump (jump, ass first on face, head pops off as he farts)
Brutality 2 shown: cane takes off their head, he pours out a drink for his fallen opponent
Brutality 3 shown: blows fire on the opponent, their body burns into ash, save for the skull which sits atop it on fire.

I just want to know is the Pit stage exclusive to XL or does it come with the season 2 pass. I just want to know because I purchased season 1 pass so I won't be getting XL(Also I bought the game digitally)

IIRC It'll come in an update. Basically once KP2 drops.
They said last week, and in stream chats, it will either come with XL, or very close after.
They had one of the programmers on this week talking about the rollback code. It was pretty interesting. He said they have been working on it since the game came out. Also some good technical explanation. He said it will be out when they have enough data and think it's ready, which should still be with XL or shortly after as noted.
So pumped about KP2! Honestly none of the new characters have really resonated with me, just want the new balancing tweaks and rollback. I'm also looking forward to an influx of new players that KP2/new online will bring.
Looking to pick up a 3rd character to go along with my Kotal/Kung Jin combo. Maybe piercing Meleena or A-list.

Looks like Thursday, 4pm CST is the day/time for Alien to be in the spotlight of Netherrealm's Twitch stream. What to expect:
- full breakdown of Alien's 3 variations in practice mode
- some fights with Alien
- they typically show a character's X-ray, 1 fatality and 2 brutalities and post a third on instagram after the stream
- they have promised to show off another stage fatality (possibly two since they forgot last week?)
- they typically offer up some new tidbits about MKXL (they've talked netcode/costume plans in the past)
- then the grudge match between the two hosts
As a reminder, MKXL drops next Tuesday, March 1st w/ four new characters, the pit stage, new costumes...the improved netcode is expected to drop either with XL or very shortly thereafter. It has received rave reviews from the pros in the beta.

Stage fatality in the refugee camp stage: opponent launched into the air and 6 or so soldiers light up the opponent with machine gun fire.
Alien:
In general, has no kick attacks, focuses on his tail. Has a tongue attack. Seems like a good mid-ranged character.
Variations:
- Acidic: spits out acid that hits + acts like Erron Black's caltrops.
- Conjurer: can lay out facehugger eggs that act as traps or can be triggered as projectiles. Can also cause a 2nd alien to drop from the top of the screen, close, mid, far. Trap variation.
- Tarkatan: has Baraka blades, does impales and blade flurries. Up close and personal variation.
X-ray: uses tail to stab opponent, ending with a tongue attack to the back of the skull.
Brutalities:
- Tarkatan, slices off the arms in a flurry and then stabs him with tail and flings him across the screen.
Fatality: tail through the torso, emerges from the shadows to split opponent in half.
