It allows MK to have so many teleport attacks. That stuff would be a nightmare to block if you had to change directions each time.
See: Scorpion in Injustice.

Sooooo I've been trying to remote in from work onto my PC to install and preload the game throughout the day...
...finally get home and try the game...
Game crashes when I try to change inputs.
Game crashes when I try to go into online mode 50/50.
Game crashes after selecting character in online mode.
....I want my money back now. PC players got boned again.

Information is probably already known but, anyways.
Brutalities are similar to Killer Instinct Ultras. (Or from 1994 KI Arcade, the Ultimate Combo enders)
You must do the command or requirement when the opponents life bar is in critical (notches on life gauge near death)
You can start a combo and get your opponents life at that critical portion the Brutality should kick in automatically.
You can juggle combo into throws.
Unlike MK9 a player needed to be standing on the ground. I found this out while trying to execute Kung Lao's first Brutality.
I found the easiest method was FP, FP combo into Spin to launch the opponent, Grab them while they are in midair (not jumping, but standing grab) and then mash FP / RP and success.

She's a lot of fun.
I'm currently stuck on Erron Black. I can't seem to get one of his combos to go though. It starts with a triangle and I think alternates between square and circle, but it just won't fire off for me no matter how fast I enter it.
Ferra/Torr is surprisingly nimble and fun to play also.

Erron Black and Dvorrah are probably the next characters I try.
Both are really good. Dvorrah takes some getting used to with her alts I found though.
Jacqui is also a highlight. Basically all of the new characters are great additions, though I have a lot of trouble with the archer. I forget his name, but he seems a little clunky to me.

Ohh yes. She is perhaps the one character where it pays off the most if you learn all the variations since you can easily counter your enemies depending on your moveset.

Ermac seems a lot slower than compared to MK9.
Or perhaps it's it's his floating walk animation that makes it seem that way. Still he remains to be one of my favorites.
I managed to somewhat recreate some of bread and butter combos that I used in MK9, that work as well in MKX.
I'll be uploading a video soon of some of them.
For a teaser, this is one of my Ermac combos from MK9.

I hope I won't disappoint with my MKX stuff.

The Towers don't spoil the story in any way, right? Thanks in advance! 
This is my reaction every release day for a game I am really looking forward to...And I have not been getting GF games on release day for at least a year now...yet I am still an idiot and go running to the mailbox on release day hoping it is somehow in there EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. XD

They kind of spoil the "boss" at the end of the story mode since you'll face him at the end of the klassic tower, but other than that, nope.

No. They are basically Arcade Ladders like in MK9.
The main story won't be spoiled.
However if the towers are anything like MK9, then beating the tower with a character will show that characters personal ending. (I don't know if MKX has personal endings, because I barely touched other modes outside of practice)

I knew that was going to happen, darn.
Edit: but that's just on the klassic tower, right?

Every character has a unique cutscene that plays at the end of the klassic tower, just like MK9.
Yep, only on the klassic tower. Every other tower is fine to play through, completely spoiler-free.

So is this game not available digitally on PS4? Can't find it on the store or website.

I seem to have broke the switch puzzle in the krypt, the x button prompt won't appear anymore when I try to use the third switch after I input the sequence wrong a few time(I noticed the code on the wall after).

Should I get this on PC or PS4?

Already played a lot, now when I try to load the game it wont get past the copyright screen, unless I'm signed out of Xbox Live... game works fine as long as I don't sign in. If I sign in at the title screen it just shows the forest background and nothing happens. Anyone else had this problem? This is disc version btw.

Why does is seem like my button presses are lagged? Something feels off a out about this game.

Every character has unique brutatlities, and every brutality has it's own requirement. Most of the time you need to end the final round with a particular ***** / move /ex-move / Throw. Open the movelist and go to the last section, where the fatalities are. Highlight the brutalities you've unlocked and they should show all the requirements. Sometimes it's more than just getting the ***** right, you have to have done something during the round or match for it to be possible.
EDIT: Wow, is Neogaf really censoring kom-bo (without the -)?

Sounds like PS4 is the way to go for now. PC version is apparently not a very good port and people have been having serious issues even getting it to run.

Each brutality is different. It'll tell you in the pause menu what the requirements are when you select each one.

Why can't I access story mode? Just got it on PS4.
That's what I'm liking about him too! I like his moveset a lot, ermac and quan will probs be my set but I still wanna play with reptile.

Good to know. Thanks for the quick reply. I can wait a few days if it's release day issues but a bad port is what I was more concerned with. Ps4 it is.

Is what I'm getting.
It's not even showing up as an option on the Website store. If you click the banner advertising it, it just shows you all the dlc. If I log out of the website I can see it up for sale at $60, but the second I log in to add it to my cart, it's gone.
Have you already bought it?

I'm kind of bumming right now... I picked up my copy of MKX at Best Buy about three hours ago and I still haven't gotten a code for Goro; in email or otherwise. When I did the preorder for in-store pickup, it listed the Goro bonus on the cart and my order details. I'm hoping it shows up soon.
Has anyone who did the same method of ordering get theirs yet?
