hah yeah. I played through the entire story mode of MK9 this past weekend before I got X and holy shit. It had been 3 years since I even looked at that game but I the first thing I thought was that all the female characters looked like how I drew women when I was a horny 12 year old.

Why does Sonya have ugly as sin face paint when I pick her? Is it because I'm special forces? Because if so fuck that.

Is his placement in the story just a reskin of another character?

Unlike some preorder stuff, my Goro code from Best Buy wasn't in the case, they email it to you. So, yeah, you're probably not getting it.
Is Goro generally considered balanced? At least for a game that is 2 days old? Akiyama_AE

Erron and D'vorah are cool but not a fan of there personalities or design needs more costumes for Erron !
Awww shit. Thanks.
Cool, I'm enjoying playing as him.
It's taken me some real effort, but I've managed to get used to the stick. It is indeed cumbersome, but was worth sticking it out. It feels natural now, and I can't play on the pad anymore, heh.

just tested it with my qanba q4raf and it works but unfortunately the damn game crashes when I try to change the controls so I hope you like fucked up controls until they fix it.

I haven't used him that much but here's the combo I did.

That's a shame. I don't feel like purchasing him twice(brother and I decided to purchase the game at the last minute.)

this is probably it, some have said that the R2 press sometimes has to be pressed simultaneous while others have to be pressed later

I like watching demo mode. The AI does some unique combos that seem impractical but cool. The Ferra/Torr mirror was the funniest by far. Its a shame you can't do CPU vs CPU in MKX.

Nice. Reminds me that I should incorporate that throw you did (anti-air, right?) into my repertoire. Was this on PC? If so, do you know how to download the in-game playback videos?
Sektor, but with his classic design. The Ironman with dreadlocks look sucks. Also Jade and Sheeva. Or funny old man MK1 Shang Tsung.

You don't get to unlock him though, right? I haven't played the story yet. My wife likes watching so I'm limited on modes.
I heard about this elsewhere as well. Messed up.
Errron black's personality is my favorite part. I love his voice.
Nah, I'm on PS4.

Right. I'm just saying if you like Baraka, you may not like story.
Mileena in story mode:
I wish she had a stronger reaction to losing and getting executed. Her whole life was spent in Kitana's shadow, trying to show she was just as valuable as her sister. Then she completely, utterly fails... in multiple ways. It's sort of tragic, Mileena's morality aside, and I felt she got a really casual sendoff for a classic we've had since MK2.
I don't know how I did it either, but whatever I did resulted in me hurting my ribs.
Well,
keep in mind MK9 retconned that and she is no longer in Kitana's shadow. In the new timeline she was created right before MK2 due to Kahn believing Kitana was becoming disloyal. In this timeline, since her birth Mileena was the favored child while Kitana moved to the side of good.
Ah.
Still... she's a classic. Kind of a major character to kill off, and I wish it had just a bit more ceremony.

He looks great, but I can't with his playstyle. It feels too clunky for me. Speaking of looks, Takeda's alt makes him look SO much better.

She was killed off by the best character in the series so it's okay. In all seriousness (although D'Vorah is the best in the series IMO) at least she got more of a send-off than every character that died in MK9 (except Shao Kahn).
But you're the only Ayanami!
And Baraka got fuckin' bodied again this game, lol
That dude never got a break.

I thought it was easy until the last one. I may have broken my thumb on that.

Does this not wok in-store? $15 card aside can i go in get the card and the MK Kollectors and have the discount work on that in the same transaction?If you're a GCU member, Best Buy's preorder is already better ($48 game + $25 season pass with $10 back, compared to $60 game + $10 season pass). If you're not, you can take advantage of their deal this week (buy MKX with a GCU membership, get a free $15 GC) and have the 20% discount work on MKX by ordering online.

He is! That's why he's so cool.
Also, nobody know how to get rid of this stupid face paint shit?
It's in line with the spaghetti western cowboy influence. Gritty badass who doesn't talk much persona, and they usually have pretty deadpan delivery.
yeah I agree I like Cassie a lot, she has a cool personality & voice
