The Mortal Kombat Spoilers Thread of ... spoilers in a fighting game?

I am not.

Have you tried unlocking number 7 in the Krypt? That got me Reptile concept art, I went to view it, and it said Klassic skin unlocked.
Which 7? There's four different zones, all with their own number sets.

EDIT: Seems there are some places selling it early here. I'll have to stop by after work and see if it is true.
 
Ok, so I might be misinterpreting the story, but did Raiden almost do everything right up until his departure to see the Elder Gods?

Before that his main failures were:
- Allowing Bi-Han and Cyrax to be transformed
- Getting Kung Lao killed ( but this might've been necessary to push Liu to defeat Shao)

By going to see the Elder Gods:
- He let all of Earth's protectors get one-shotted by Sindel
- lost all trust with Liu Kang

Assuming that Raiden had the power to defeat Sindel, he could've killed Shao Kahn and only lost Kung Lao in the process.

... I can't remember sorry. I think I went to the left? I only had a very, very quick go (was tempted to cancel my preorder, but having a go changed my mind instantly), but was most happy to see it unlock.

Neat! If the early rumors are true I'll have to get some koins and try out all the 7s.

Reptile's klassic kostume was the reason I went with the Amazon preorder.

I unlocked Ermac's klassic render from the krypt and I even viewed the artwork at the galley but I still havent been able to select it.
 
Each character has 3 costumes - main, alt and Klassic (one or two have a fourth, I believe going from another post in this thread), all of which are unlockable in the Krypt.

Oh and #7 in the Deadlands is Reptile's alternate costume not his klassic. So yeah you are wrong.

Aww :(

And yeah alt kostumes can be unlocked in both the Krypt and by beating Arcade with that kharacter.

but the pre-order fatalities are in, right? thats more important to me.
 
I havent found any in the krypt but I found Scorpion's toasty input and it worked for me. The thing is it only works for me when he's in his alt costume.

Don't forget how he was unable to prevent Scorpion from killing off the original Sub-Zero (though to be fair, Scorpion seemed beyond reason by that point).

If Raiden had been able to accomplish that much, a good deal of Quan Chi's original ploy to play Scorpion and Sub-zero's individual clans against each other wouldn't have been able to play out to its fullest. Noob (another resource for Cheezy) would not have been created, and it might have been possible to secure Cyrax, Smoke and Tundra/Sub-zero II all on the same token for the side of "Good".

But nope. Misinterpreting signals from his visions is one thing, but a lot of common sense things that he could have reached in and stopped make it so that it's quite fitting to call Raiden "Thunder Idiot". :lol
 
MK2 will begin with everyone being resurrected by the dragonballs and having Yoshikyuki Tomino fired from the writing staff.

If you recall.. Scorpion tries not to kill Sub-Zero but Quan Chi shows Scorpion his family and clan being slaughtered and after he brings the head back.. he actually looks ASHAMED of himself.

Honestly, among the things I have a problem with. I liked that. It shows that there's more to Scorpion's character than just revenge.

All it showcases though, is that Scorpion was not willing to listen to reason, as long as certain buttons of his were being pushed. And that's exactly how Cheezy was able to keep Scorpy on a relatively short-leash. :lol
 
NO PLAYABLE BOSSES!!!

Am I the only one who cares here, no one seems to ask about this, it seems a waste as the boss characters are some well designed characters with cool movesets seems like a waste to not have them balanced and playable in Versus and online modes.
 
crimzonflame said:

Oh, in that case I'm man enough to admit I made a big mistake. I genuinely believed it said Klassic Costume Unlocked, as the Toasty Fatality had been unlocked and only worked with that skin.

Sorry chaps - that *may* be my bad. I'd better post in the other thread. :(
 
strideramc said:
Very cool. I wonder if there are certain requirements to get this battle or if it is just totally random.

Cathedral stage, cannot use the block button and Noob must be in the background. If he isnt just keep restarting the match till he's there.

Well, like it or lump it, NRS stuck to their guns when it came to this.

Q: Are the bosses playable?

NR: We set out to make the bosses feel like bosses. If they were playable, it would be unfair. They are a big hurdle, and we decided they are not to be playable normally. You may be able to control one in a special mode, but they are not for competitive play.

Does Smoke have a Cyber Smoke alt outfit?

If it's there, it hasn't been seen yet.

It would be really awesome if there were at least SOME secrets left for the rest of us people who are waiting for the legit street date to come around.

I wonder what special modes will become unkovered where you can play as the bosses. They all have fatalities and X-rays, so I assume we will get to play them in some way shape or form eventually. I don't mind that they aren't available for competitive play, most tournaments would probably ban them if they weren't properly balanced anyways.

Never enjoyed using a boss in its own game. They either feel too limited (not enough mobility, not enough moves) or too nerfed (doesn't feel imposing and powerful like before). The only boss character I've ever enjoyed using was Geese, and in sequels where he was no longer the final boss.

I can understand why people would want it and feel bad you won't be able to use them outside of specific settings.
 
What is the character order I should play in story to keep it chronological? I remember someone posting characters related to each chapter but I can't find it.

It's automatic in story mode. You don't choose who to play.

I'm pretty happy with no playable bosses. Picking the boss characters in Trilogy and Armageddon was just a fast way to get people to stop playing with you.

then what are you doing in the spoiler thread?
 
Just on the story stuff:

Earlier someone asked that if there was an explanation to why Quan Chi got those tatoos early. The answer is...no, there isn't. It's kind of stupid in this sense, but the whole plot basically had Quan Chi say "just as planned" at the end. What if Quan Chi got a message from himself (or Onaga) from the future before Raiden did, and engraved himself with the runes from the Dragon King's temple? This may be the reason why he publicly appeared at all of the tournaments even though he wasn't supposed to initially. Just a thought at least.
 
I just saw the story mode on Youtube and wow, I'm impressed. Didn't like the outcome (most fighters from the good side died), but overall it was really well done. And yes, Raiden is an idiot; he could have easily prevent many things but for some reason, he didn't (like, why didn't he fried cybrogs that surrounded Sub-Zero?).

I'm curious where will the series go next. Will all those dead characters remain dead? Because there's very few fighters left on the good side now. :/
 
I think he has the runes for three reasons, one, there just using the mk vs dc model that they never got to release because of midway dying, two, there going to retcon a whole bunch of stuff post mk3, including how he got them, and three, because they look cool, and hes a very plain looking dude.

Also un related but interesting, This cinematic trailer showed up today, was this really never released before now?

It has the stuff from the announcement trailer in it, and its clearly very old. Maybe I missed it, but I do not remember seeing this before.

Sorry if it has been posted before (don't want to read the rest of the thread), but does that mean that classic fatalities are on the disc?
of course its on the disc, how will others see you use it online :P fatalities can be used even if not bought in the krypt if you can guess the pattern, I think that's how cryax's baby one was found the other night.

I still personally think the klassic outfits will be dlc down the road.

Patches. That's how it's done in every fighting game with DLC.

hi, i'm in this thread too, yet i too would still be immensely happy if we were still discovering things long after the street date, the things found at the moment seem to have been found through normal playthroughs, i have faith that Netherrealms has a few more surprises in store that aren't discoverable through normal means.
 
Found Kratos 2nd fatality at hollow infestation part in the krypt far back in that place, also barakas 2nd is there too.

Hmm.. Now that I think about it, it could have been quan chi was pressing X X like a crack**** because it was taking some time to unlock stuff in the krypt.

Holy crap. That was pretty good. I haven't seen it before either. I believe only parts where used for the announcement trailer. Good find.

Was this posted?

http://www.ps3trophies.org/forum/mortal-kombat/102710-mortal-kombat-trophy-list-images.html

It's all the trophies and the last four seem to be for hidden fights in the Arcade Ladder mode.
Notice the icons are for Jade's, Smoke's, Reptile's and Noob's klassic alts. Find their hidden match, beat them and earn their klassic costumes possibly?

Man watch it be something simple, like beat an online opponent who is using an classic kostume to get the trophy and unlock the alt
