Third Fight Video Available: Quan Chi vs. Shang Tsung!
Our third (and final) match for you from the show floor of E3 features the Deadly Alliance itself, Quan Chi and Shang Tsung! Though this video is shorter than the other two, we still recommend that you download the movie to your hard drive by right-clicking on the link and choosing "Save Target As..."

To see the video of the match, click here.

In addition, while filming the matches at E3, ]{0MBAT managed to get video of the advertisement Midway was showing on their big screen. (This is the same big screen shown in the background of Adema's concert.) This particular ad features a FMV matchup between Quan Chi and Scorpion. To see this trailer, click here.

This will wrap it up for MK5.ORG's coverage of E3 this year. On behalf of ]{0MBAT and the other staff members of MK5.ORG, I'd like to thank you all for your support during this, our first year of E3 coverage. We truly do appreciate it.

Second Fight Video Available: Scorpion vs. Sub-Zero!
Our second match-up, straight from the show floor of E3, is the age-old favorite: Scorpion vs. Sub-Zero! Once again, this is a large file, so you may wish to consider downloading it to your hard drive and running it from there instead of attempting to stream it from our servers. :)

To see the video of the match, click here.

Stay tuned, as ]{0MBAT has two more videos to present, including one more in-game matchup!

First Fight Video Available: Shang Tsung vs. Li Mei!
Straight from ]{0MBAT's video camera, comes our first video of a full fight filmed at E3, featuring Shang Tsung and Li Mei! This video is 16.2 MB in size, so you may wish to download the video to your hard drive by right clicking on the link, and choosing "Save Target As".

To see the Shang Tsung vs. Li Mei fight, click here.

Later on, we plan on having two more fight videos for you all, plus one more miscellaneous video for your entertainment. Stay tuned!

Transcript of Ed Boon E3 Interview Now Available!
After returning home from E3, ]{0MBAT has been hard at work getting the videos from the show floor ready for you. However, he took a quick break in his schedule this morning to provide a transcript of the audio interview he had with Ed Boon on Wednesday morning.

Win Pose Videos Available, and ]{0MBATs Final Impressions!
E3 may be over, but our coverage of it isn't! Thanks to our intrepid cameraman, ]{0MBAT, we now have winning pose videos available for most of the playable characters. Although characters share win poses and use multiple poses, this can give you an idea of what to expect. You can even see a unique win pose: Jax's special "kicking" win pose. In the next couple of days we'll update again with an actual fight, so be sure and stay tuned!


In addition, ]{0MBAT has sent us his final impressions, which we will now share with you:

I would just like to say that I am VERY impressed with the realism of the martial arts featured in this game. In particular, the block button. As opposed to previous MK games, your character moves their arms and body to block whatever attack your opponent throws at you. They don't just stand still with their arms in one position as before. Once again, I am very impressed.

Also, I thought now would be a good time to go over the various alternate costumes the characters wear:

  • Scorpion: Black ninja costume with yellow "beads" and other markings
  • Sonya: The green and gray on her costume get transposed
  • Jax: Black beret as opposed to red
  • Blind Kenshi: Blue costume
  • Quan Chi: Blue pants
  • Li Mei: Wears green as opposed to purple
  • Sub-Zero: Wears darker blue (this will probably be changed to match the render we all love)
  • Shang Tsung: Wears blue as opposed to red

The only way I know to get the alternate costumes was to play a mirror match. But like many other things about the game, this will probably change in the coming months before release.
