MK Online staff member RivetSpoon had a chance to attend San Diego Comic-Con, and was there ever a lot of Mortal Kombat stuff there!
To start off with, Midway had a playable demo of MK: Shaolin Monks available (the same demo that will be included within the next month on the demo discs with OPM and OXM magazines). Jazwares was there, promoting their MK: Deception action figures. They had a preview of the 10-inch Roto-Cast Noob Saibot figure, though photography was not allowed. The Demon Head Scorpion was for sale at the Tower Records booth, in addition to the Cold Snap Sub-Zero for sale at the AFX booth - both SDCC exclusives.
Additionally, the folks at Score Entertainment in conjuction with the artists at Udon Comics displayed the first preview of the Epic Battles Mortal Kombat vs. Street Fighter Trading Card Game. The cards pictures are just prototypes, and are subject to change - but needless to say, the detail is amazing. (One of the most interesting, in my opinion, happens to be Sindel doing her sonic scream, named The Sounds of Music, against Scorpion's spear and breaking it apart.)
There will be 119 Mortal Kombat cards and 119 Street Fighter cards, at least for "Round 1" - more cards will be available at a later date. All the MK characters are supposed to be from MK: Deception, with all the SF characters from SF3: Third Strike. Hardcore MK fans may notice a few exceptions, with some characters from Deadly Alliance being shown that only appeared in MKD briefly in either Konquest Mode or the Dark Prison Arena. They are still open to the idea of crossing over with other fighting games in the near future, and Fatalities and possibly other finishing moves will be included.
Stay tuned, some more pictures and a detailed explanation of the rules coming soon.
