Welcome all!!

It seems there is more of a purpose for this kind of thing now that we have a realistic possibility of having peoples questions get answers from actual members of the MKTeam.

In the latest MKast, they sorta ran through a bunch of questions, and even mentioned that the thread on the MIDWAY forums had some 40 pages of questions in them. Well they don't have time to sort things out, so we can do it....This is the attempt to "organize things for you" Hector(MkHec) and Han.
___________________________________________

2 Rules:

1. Post any questions you want them to answer.

It can be based on any of the content, any of the MKast so far, Graphics, Gameplay, Interviews, Tobias ect....get it? ANYTHING about MKvsDC.

2. Any question asked 2 times or more will get into this post below.

The most efficient way to get a question or concern some attention from me, is to quote the question over and over....here's an example:



This is the best way I've found, although I will read everything.

For those who don't know how to do this, all you do when you wanna quote someone, is hit the "Add Original" button, beneath the smiley icons on the Reply message screen.

That's the only two rules

==========Low Down=============

What will happen is, I will look for the most commonly asked questions, and post them up in this starter post with a little number next to them. Like this (**2**). This number will indicate how many times the questions has been asked. I will also be making a thread over on the MIDWAY forums, and channeling those questions into this post as well, IF THIS THREAD WORKS FIRST. lol I'm not gonna arbitrarily troll two forums. No way d00d.

I can't edit my post over on that forum like I can here, so you see why I'll be bringing them over here in this post, right? I will not look anywhere else. Only in these two threads.

Okay so, if a question has made it to their attention, and has been answered, it will be blackened, LIKE THIS . If it can be answered by another user on the forums, the question will not make this list.

Everybody good?

Lets GO!!

"click here to download" link.)



Length should end at something like 22-23min. If there's something wrong with it. Let me know and I'll see what I can do.

Questions//Concerns asked about 2-3 times or more...


1. Are there any arena's with multiple transitions? Not like Metropolis where you can run through the buildings multiple times, but is there a stage with 2 different types of transitions, or is there a stage with a transition and a freefall element?

I had the same question. What I wanted to add to it was, what can we expect to see from these features as far as how they will look from unanounced arenas? Smaddy +EagleClaw4 (**3** = mko thread)

Question #1 has been Answered!! in the MKast #5.

**2. Mine is multiplayer question:

we suppose that there will be online play. What features will we have aside of the classic 1 vs 1. Will there be some sort of online tournement? 2 vs 2 online with friends invites and 2vs2 offline?
MaxDam(**2** = mko thread)

3. Can they get Kevin Conroy to voice batman and Mark Hamil to voice Joker? As well as the other known voice actors from other media? Superman, WW, GL, ect ect..

Jokers laugh sounds bad(not a "complaint", just note), can you//will you change it? Go get the guy from the cartoons or something....lol
dervishstriker, RETARDEDDOG, & ThePredator151(**4**= both midway & mko threads)

Question #3 has been Answered!! in the MKast #5. Sound byte of the Jokers laugh, sounds better.

**JT**

5. Okay, what is, or, what WOULD be the max number of downloadable Characters/kharacters?
RETARDEDDOG(**3** = midway thread)

6. Can we have comic book styled, MK character profiles back please?

Deep, well written, up to date Profiles for MK characters? I've been asking for a few years now, and it seems appropriate considering all the comic book characters have well written power gauges and descriptions and so on. PLEASE. This could be a question for Tobias as well.
ThePredator151(**2** = midway thread)

**JT**

8. Any plans about a mk kollection with mk1-mkg?
salbeinit(**2** = midway thread)

9. What happened to johnny cage's "nut punch"?
salbeinit(**2** = midway thread)

10. "When you guys said iconic did that automatically mean post mk4 characters would not make it such as quan chi kenshi taven and nitara"??
Dragunov(**2** = midway thread)

Question #10 has been Answered!! in the MKast #5. Iconography depends, but they are drawing from the MK1-2 games mainly. Those are the games most people are familiar with, and so, those characters are most recognizable. However, that doesn't obligate or limit them to those games.

11. I have a question actually more like a pet-peeve: It's about the announcer...who announces the matches etc. We all knew it was Shao Kahn announcing matches from MK2-MKT. I just hate it when there's an announcer but no face to go with it like alot of fighting games out there. It's like talking to someone on the phone for so long and you want to see the face that goes with the voice. Will we see something like that in MK vs DC, the main boss announcing matches?
Ice-Man(**2** = midway thread)

12. What kind of downloadable content will there be? kostumes, arenas, karakhters, piktures, videos, etc.....Oh, and are some going to be free...? any1 supports this?
Kras124(**2** = midway thread)

Question #12 has been Answered!! in the Mkast #5. Sorta they hinted heavily about downlaodable characters, and arenas. Though neither was really blatantly stated.

13. Will there be a normal arcade mode, with character specific endings?
PapaRoachFan(**2** = mko thread)

Question #13 has been Answered!! in the Mkast #5 - YES! There will be.

14. Question: Will the game support custom soundtracks?

YES: The kind where the music becomes directly part of the game-- such as each level having its own custom music-- the select screen having its own custom music-- maybe even giving the fatalities its own music-- etc...

NO: Not the kind where one song will play through the background the entire time you are playing the game. The song won't change unless the entire song is played and finished-- and will even continue during the loading.

Since the XBox has had In-Game XMB for a while, and the new PS3 firmware gave the Sony owners a chance at custom music-- I think this feature would be a great addition, especially to the fighting game genres where I would love to blast some metal and kick some MK/DC ass.
Vomit (**2** = mko thread)

15. Will we be seeing any new fatalities soon?
Deathbearer(**2** = mko thread)

Question #15 has been Answered!! YES!! Current regular updates indicate more coming gameplay vids, including the Jokers Fatality.

16. Reptile is a highly anticipated character wanted by many fans, and is largely iconic. People all around want him in the game. What is his current status/chances of getting in?

On the topic of Reptile, his costume. Many fans want his ninja suit, and some want his reptilian/MKSM suit. In MK4 he had an alt where he wore the ninja suit, and had the scaly, reptilian skin beneath. Sort of like MKSM, only he didn't look like a bandit. Could we possible expect something like this to make it into the game, playable or not? It looked like this:

Vash_15 (**5** = midway & mko thread)

Question #16 has been Answered in a Lepzig Interview: http://www.mkuniverse.lu/images/INTERVIEW%20MEDIAPLAYER.wmv

17. I've noticed that most of the dc characters announced so far have opposite numbers, ie evil counterparts (superman has Bizarro, Green Lantern has Sinestro, captain marvel has Black Adam, flash has Professor Zoom). while i know i won't get a response to "are they costume swaps?" i was wondering if i could get an answer to this: was this done on purpose, or am i reading to much into it?
face_invader (**2** = midway thread)

Question #17 has been Answered!! in the MKast #5. The conversation between all three attendees covers this question.

**JT**

19. Will "Endings" be FMV or at least cut scenes movies?
MK2US (**15** = mko thread)

Question #19 has been Answered!! in the MKast #5. The conversation between all three attendees covers this question.

20. Will all characters be equally strong and equally fast? Or will some be stronger and faster (not including Flash) and inflict more damage with their hits than others? Because it wouldn't make sense if Superman's punch gives the same amount of damage than Sonya's or Catwoman's punch (no offense to Sonya and Catwoman fans).
RedScorpio (**2** = mko thread)

21. Why almost every character has a teleport, even those who never had one?

We've seen now that even Sub-Zero has a teleport (which for me doesn't make sense)... he just drops to the floor backwards and creating a little ice block on the floor then appearing on the other side... it made sense when Smoke did it on MKA because of his element being smoke and that it can travel easily with the wind or someting... but ice?

Any purpose to it? I think it makes almost every character look the same when it comes to special moves.
RedScorpio (**2** = mko thread)

22. Will there be like a online level ranking, Wins, losses, combo hits average records, or something similar? Something to add replay value and by leveling up,..like some sort of easter eggs, unlockables l (ike Alternates outfits)...
MaxDam (**2** = mko thread)

23. Alot of people interpret Jax as a "quota"//"token black guy"//ect character. So,

a.) [Question] - Will Jax be interpreted as a more realistic soldier this time? Hector said he was in the air force or something like that. He should know what a soldier is about.

b.) [Comment] - MKTeam, the stereotypes and bad voice overs are killing that character.

Don't want a "black" character. But rather, a GREAT character, that happens to be a black person. I prefer Kai now because of these things. I'm black btw, if that says anything..heh.

skillz(**2** = mko thread)

This Box Marks The Begining of Questions after the MKast #5. Figured I'd also take this opportunity to mention that I may very well simplify this Filter even more, by creating an Audio of our own!! All I'll do, is read all the unanswered questions on the list (probably over some old MK music or something). That way it may even save them some reading time. Good Idea? Bad Idea? You tell me.. ThePredator151

27. Will those mindblowing cutscenes from the story mode be accesible through an "extras" feature, rather than playing the game over again just to see them?
fijikungfu (**2** = mko thread)

28. Hi Hans, Hector. With the announcement of Raiden, Wonder Woman, Kano, and Deathstroke; And Gamespot somewhat confirming that there will be a 22 character roster. Can we fans of fighting game femme fatales expect at least one more female character per side?
WarriorPrincess(**2** = mko thread)

29. Hector and Hans..how does it feel working together on MKasts,does one of you have a need to hold back in some way or are you both comfortable working together?
Sairu(**2** = midway thread)

30. Will downloadable content be free or will it cost a ridiculous amount of money?

Oh, and if so, can V be a downloadable character?
Slit518(**2** = midway thread)

31. Arcade Mode..is it going to feel any different? What about the Kombat Ladder,is it still there..if so,will there be a difficulty choice?
Sairu(**2** = midway thread)

Question #31 has been Answered!! in the MKast #5. The conversation between all three attendees covers this question. YES, there will be a type of traditional MK ladder.

32. Is South Africa getting the Kollectors or do we who wants it need to import it?
TheRalfZer0(**2** = midway thread)

33. who will be voicing the mortal kombat characters? are there any samples yet?

Because the only MK people with recognizable character voices are shao kahn and scorpion, maybe raiden, subzero and liukang if you count the side games.
dervishstriker(**3** = midway thread)

Tobias Section:

4. Will John Tobias be involved the actual development of the game, and if not, will he be involved in future games?
TrueNoob(**2** = mko thread)

7. Is tobias back for good, or is he leaving after mkvsdc?
Press_Start(**6** = midway thread)

18. For Mr. Tobias:

1) everyone knows ed boon's favorite is scorpion. do you have a favorite character from the mortal kombat series or any of your other games?

2) who are your artistic influences, both in drawing and story?

3) don't you miss midway? will you be returning for future games, even in a minor contributing fashion?

4) i'd never miss an issue of a mortal kombat comic published under the dc imprint with you either writing or penciling. would you be open to this?
face_invader (**2** = midway thread)

24. @ Tobias:

a.What's your take of the initial shock created by MkvsDC?

b. Do you currently, or have you ever gotten on any of the forums to see some of the threads concerning your possible return? What do you think of what you read?

c. Can you speak on what "dark & gritty" means to you? Just want like a vague opinionated description or something as co-creator of Mortal Kombat. Not trying to get you "in trouble" or anything.
