I don't think they screwed anyone up. Everyone looks better in my mind. The only thing I'd complain about is that I wish that some character's alternative costumes should have been their main costume (such as Sub-Zero and Kung Lao).

IMO almost all of them ....

Shang Tsung - Shang Tsung isn't Shang Tsung without his morphs
Quan Chi - his fatality is so stupid that I'm shame to play with him
Scorpion - he isn't fast as he used to be without his teleport
Raiden - Raiden without the teleport and the torpedo isn't Raiden
Cyrax - without the green net he isn't cool
Cage - his fireball is stupid and the nutt punch disapearead
Kitana - she can only throw the fan once in the round

I was also dissapointed about the fact that most of the characters had some of their moves taken away. Here are two more you didn't mention:

Sonya: her leg grab move was taken away. Big mistake.
Reptile: I was dissapointed to see that Reptile didn't have his invisibility move like he did in previous games.

yeah reptile's invisibility is a big loss. Although it seems to keep with his devolution story, it is always nice to have a character who fight invisible.

I miss Sub-Zero's Ice Clone and Ice Shower moves as well. Those were great in MK3.

In addition to the left out moves others have said:

Sonya and Kitana's teleport punches have both been taken away too, as has Cyrax's teleport and Air Throw, Scorpion's Air Throw and Quan Chi's teleport stomp. Sonya also no longer has her bicycle kick or force wave projectile. Johnny Cage no longer has his Shadow Uppercut, Kung Lao doesn't have his dive kick, teleport or whirlwind spin and Jax doesn't have his fireballs, charge punch, air grab, his "gotcha" move or his multiple-hit throw. Shang Tsung can't throw 2 or 3 fireballs out anymore, nor does he have his volcanic eruption move. Kano doesn't have his knife throw, his neck choke or his knife slice and Reptile doesn't have his force ball.

I think that's about it...

White_Pointer

you are right !!!

Reptile without invisibility is bad ... I loved also his energy ball from MK2 and MK3 that he lose in MK4.

Sonya lose the leg throw and the energy blast and Kano lose the knife throw.

SubZero is slower than he used to be.

Jax with the gun machine is stupid ...

but the 2 guys that I really miss is Raiden and Shang Tsung ... I really hated the new version of both ...

IMO, the best character is HsuHao. I know he looks gay, but his moves and his fatality are fun ...

sorry about my bad English ...

In terms of fighting:

Cyrax and Kitana. Well, this are great characters, but in MKDA they were very weak and U all know the rest.

Lack of classic moves:

Sonya: Its clear evryone misses the powerfull leg grab. That was one of the best and more powerful classic moves.

Others like her vertical bicycle kick, cartwheel
kicks, ring toss, and wave punch were also great.

Johnny Cage: Its also clear that his nut punch is missed by everyone. That was a cool classic. Also moves like his shadow punch were cool.

Kitana: Infinite Fan throws were the best of her.

Cyrax: The Net.

Rayden: Torpedo.

Sub-Zero: The Ice shower and clone were very cool moves.

But in generakl, no character was screwed in MKDA. They all kicked ass.

Yea all of those were big losses.

I can see why most moves were taken out (i.e. Kitana's fan throw, net [yes, I can see why, its hard to explain though, so dont ask me, like you would anyways ]) And I do miss Sonya's leg grab, we all do.

What I think was truly screwed up is in the PS2 version. The only combo that hits all 4 times in his nunchuku is the 1,1,1,1 combo. The pop-up combo doesnt work, neither does that other one unless your on the wall (in practice mode too).


Oh yea, and Kitana and Cyrax are frustrating bad, I mean very very agonizingly bad, same with Nitara (not as bad, but frustrating).

Sub Zero being my favorite character.I didn't like his costumes,the blue in the alt was too bland.They could have made his moves a little more flexble also,"considering he Is Grand Master of the Lin Kuei".Heheh,I actually liked the fact that Shang Tsung didn't have any morphs,because then they wouldn't be able to improve the coolness of his "self".And Quan Chi,his fighting style is 2nd to Scorpion's to me,but yeah I think his fatality wasn't finished thanks to deadlines.It would'a been coo if the head ripped off when he got the opponents head stretched far enough.

I think Sub Zero's kinna frustrating?Any tips on what combos I should use continuously when playing as him?
