Yes, Lex looks great. He could only look better in his suit. I just hope they got his moves right.

Sub-Zero is the only MK character I really like that got in the game. And he looks lame.

Scorpion looks awesome! I really like the skeleton looking mask he's wearing. I think he looks more evil and badass.

Joker, DS, & Others are what sold this game for me. And everyone looks great thus far.

Sonya - Thrilled. Sonya looked the best in MK3 and MK4. Her long hair and kickass moveset made her my most-used character in those games. Deadly Alliance and Armageddon butchered her looks AND robbed her classical move set. She neither looked nor played like the Sonya I grew to love. But MK vs. DC is brining back all her old moves AND her look is very similar to that of MK4, which was her best. I am DEFINITELY looking forward to playing with her.

Shang Tsung - This is the best version of Shang Tsung I've seen. He was poorly designed in MK2, looked like Michael Jackson in MK3, and looked a blinged-out Little Red Riding Hood in MK:DA. This game gives him a more regal look and set him at just the right age I think Shang Tsung should look. Furthermore, even though he can't morph, he actually has a decent moveset! Not everything is about fireballs anymore! Can't wait to play with one of my favorite villains of all time.

Kitana - A variation on the classic blue ninja look. I'm satisfied with it, given this is during the MK2-ish period. I firmly believe this is one of the best versions of Kitana (with MK:DA primary tying and MK Gold being the absolute worst). The ribbon is a nice touch, I just hope it flows like a ribbon should. Her moveset....well, suffice it to say I may be getting one more roll than I want at Thanksgiving...and that teleport belongs to Jade, damn it! But the other moves are typical Kitana, and the Fan Uppercut looks good.

Kano - This is a nice tribute to Trevor Goddard. He looks like a gritty thug and that voice I heard in the video was sexy. I'm not gonna lie, Kano's lookin' kinda hot. >_> I'm also liking how he can cannonball a bitch ANYWHERE. Can't wait to see his other moves.

Catwoman - Disappointed on the design. A purple suit and goggles like a 1940s aviator. Are you serious?! When I heard Catwoman was gonna be in a game vs. MK, I thought I'd definitely see something more revealing and sexual in nature. I was hoping for Halle Berry's costume that she wore in the 2005 Catwoman movie. This getup they have her in looks far too mid-1900s comic book-ish. And even though I love her whip, I think Midway utilized it far too much, using it in 3 special moves. Does Catwoman even have a projectile for this game? She's still my favorite on the DC side, though.

Yes, scorpion has the second best costume. Baraka's is the best of all, but he's not really my favorite, but I still like playing as him.

Meh.

Scorpion's is okay but it could have been so much better. The Skull belt is too big but the mask is cool and so is his overall look.

Sub is too much like his MK:DA alt and his MK:A primary but it's not bad.

Baraka's armor is kind of silly but he himself looks real badass.

You bet!

SONYA

They truly did justice to her character, and by everything we've seen, we can bet she was given a huge amount of attention...and she deserves it!

*Promotion / Media Coverage / Overall Attention*

* I'm not surprised to be honest (she's always been the female who has been used the most to promote past Mk games), but I'm very happy and excited about the way Sonya was treated since the beginning.

* Not only was she the first MK female to be confirmed, she was the first female character to be confirmed of the entire game and the third MK character after the 2 iconic ninjas. She got just as much attention as the ninjas in interviews, videos, mkkasts, pictures, the trailers, any news, media coverage, etc. And lets not even forget E3 (only playable female of the chosen characters to promote the game for fans to play for the first time ever) and the other game conventions that featured her.

* They obviously chose her as one of the leads to promote the game and represent MK, and it didnt end after the million things we got of her (and that we are still getting!). Now, after many complains from fans that no MK female was shown in the cover of the game, she is featured as the lead in the cover for the Kollectors edition.

* You can even hear the appreciation that is well known she got in more then one of the Mkkasts, where they refer to her as the favorite during E3, as the one who got the best response from the fans when the first gameplay footage was revealed, etc. etc. etc. And also in the interviews, were she is well mentioned and covered.

* Point is, you can clearly see how much she was used to promote the game and how much attention the character itself received. Iconic tough babe!

*Outfit*

* She got an amazing new character outfit design that maintained (and recovered) classic elements from the past. This makes her feel fresh, new, like a breath of fresh air yet again. I love how they always reinvent her. The awesome and multiple strip-bands that go around her body, the amazing futuristic like globes, the watch, the detail of her tanned thong, the wicked boots, the tight pants, the new short V-neck shirt, the sexy beret, her impressive abs, the dog tags, and all the extra detail/stuff make her stand out as one of those who was really put into work.

*Hair Style*

* She has THE MOST BEAUTIFUL and SEXY HAIR STYLE EVER!!!. Period.

The beautiful hair bangs that cover half of her face are very stylish. The Goth/Emo look truly suits her personality. You get a feeling of beauty, danger, toughness, in those cold calculative eyes (you can even see this extremely well not only in her official render, but also in her in-game model AND the cover drawn by Alex Ross).

I love how this was slightly used in MK3, and how it later came to be an option in the art pieces we saw of her in MKDA and MKSM. I'm very very happy they decided to go like this with her.

I vividly remember talking with QueenSindel(TheBitch) A LOT about giving Sonya beautiful hair-bangs similar to Lara Croft when her first pic (fighting Flash) was revealed, and how it would had been beautiful for the MK team to do that for her character. We had absolutely NO idea she actually had them as we were later revealed thanks to new pics and her render, but we were (specially me I guess) thrilled and psyched with how they made them look soooooo good! Much much better then anything I wanted or expected.

To make things ever better, they brought back her AWESOME pony-tail. I adore Sonya with shorter hair like in MKDA, but the pony-tail is probably the best thing ever for her. And it works even better know that she has those sexy hair-bangs.

*Character*

* What can I say? She looks gorgeous!!! Sure the render was messed up a bit with the strong jaw, and I've even admitted I wish that was changed, but after seeing her beautiful character model in-game, her beautiful art pics and the other amazing pics such as the VS screen and the story-mode screens, one clearly sees that she is perceived as the tough dangerous beauty of the game. She has never looked better, and I LOVE the render. I've gotten used to the strong jaw there, which was never a big deal.

Besides, the team is well known for not doing well their female renders (which is ironic because most of them look great in the other art and other extra renders), and I dont even need to give any examples. LOL.

*Special Moves*

* Sonya is well known for her huge list of special moves, many of them which have become classic trademarks of MK, thats why it was a pleasure to finally see them all return and make her stand out in glory. But not only does she have all of them back, they look better then ever!

- Leg Grab (cant wait to see the pro-move!)
- Wicked and magical Ring Toss (sweet pro-move).
- Elegant cartwheel kick
- Kiss of Death (looks wider)
- Vertical Bicycle kicks
- Reversed vertical Bicycle kicks (THEY LOOK AMAZING!!!! The way she comes down to the characters from above is superb, specially in her free-fall special attack, which is one of the best so far)
- Square Wave Punch (yay!!)

So yeah, you can bet I am more then happy. You can bet Sonya has been improved yet again!

My favorite DC character is Lobo, and he didn't make it.

And I don't know what my favorite MK character is.

Shang Tsung- I'm pretty happy with how he turned out overall. His look is much more subtle, yet, retains the regal feel that his MKDA costume gave him(which to me is when his design peaked). He seems to play pretty well, although we havn't seen much more of him then a couple of fireballs a teleport and a soul drain. The only thing that could possibly make me happier at this point is an MK II'ish soul steal fatality. The MKDA soul steal was without a doubt, the WORST take on the fatality yet.

The Joker- He was a bit of surprise to me. I know he is an iconic DC villian, but I figured that his limited to slighty capable fighting ability would leave him unplayable. But from everything we've seen so far, he seems to play great. His appearence is exactly how he should be, very slick, and sinister. So far he has the BEST fatality (although we've only seen like...3). I'll be psyched to play as him when the time comes.

I can't really comment on Shao Khan as of yet. No gameplay or render still has us scratching our heads as to what he'll be like. I hope he retains a bit of his iconic features, with a nice upgrade to bring him altogether. I have no doubt that he'll be beast gameplay wise(meaning, not very fast, but very powerful) Here's hoping for the best.

well baraka made it so im happy
the joker needs some cheek cuts in my opinion

i would of like to see ermac,gpro and mileena over sonya ,kano and jax

but apart from that im happy

Kitana
Her render looked nice....and that's been pretty much the only good news regarding her. It's become increasingly and painfully clear she was only thrown into this game because she has a fanbase, and the MK team otherwise doesn't give a rat's shit about her. And they have the balls to say she's "back to her MK2 glory." Kiss my dick, fucking assholes.

Wonder Woman
So far we got a render....and that's it. No gameplay shots. No story-mode shots. Nothing. Something tells me this game is most likely not going to be a showcase of what Wonder Woman is capable of on any front. In fact, I'm willing to bet right now her gameplay is going to suck and her grand contribution to the story-mode will be little more than (a)agreeing with whatever Superman says, and (b)getting her ass kicked by one of Mortal Kombat's losers.

The Joker
So far, he looks good and looks like he'd be fun to use.

Yes, Jax is vast improvement over his appearance in the last few MK games. He looks like a 'person' again instead of a stereotype.

MK:

- Raiden is the fav. Looks good despite the small, but dramatic changes they did make. I'm pleased they didn't misrepresent him at all. Overall I am quite satisfied for purposes of MkvsDC.

- Sonya's render looks crazy in hindsight, but her ingame stuff is good to go.

- Shang Tsung looks good to go too, and I like his in game stuff so far. He'll be fine.

- Sub-Zero's the default.

DC:

- Green Lantern is a fav, I'm going in with him and Raiden no matter what happens. His render lacked alot, but he looks fine in game.

----sleepers were:

- Liu Kang. I really like how he looks right now. He's actually pulled off "more realistic" somehow this go-round as far as the way they made him look. We'll see about the in game stuff though. I've never liked Liu Kang very much. Has maintained about the same level of interest as Scorpion from MK1 >> for me... never changes so we'll see.

- Jax. Thank you Jesus....or the MKTeam. I'm willing to play with him at this point. I think his slot should still have been used by someone else but, they did a great job distancing him from the stereotypes so far, and that deserves my attention for at least one match with him.

Liu Kang: His render looks pretty good and the belt was a nice touch. Some of the screenshots are butchering his looks though...I hope they improve.

Well, at least both will be counterparts, wont they? Even though I've heard different, I'm willing to bet they will be placed as Counterparts in story mode because of their "Princess" status.



I have to go, but hopefully, I will be able to talk about these characters that (so far) look brilliant:

* Rayden
* Joker
* Jax
* Kano
* Baraka
* Catwoman

MK: Raiden looks real good.

DC: Captain Marvel. They did a great job using his classic costume.

Piss off queve. I mean what the fuck do you care, really?

*rolls eyes*

Someone is having some bitter issues. Don't try to slap me for what they did and do to your characters, and for what you are assuming as well, considering the game isn't even out yet.

It's just a game, and if I want to I can post any of my assumptions as well. And I still say they will be counterparts even if I don't care that much for either character. I don't need to love either to talk about them, DO I?
.
.
Mature?...not so much.

...whatever.
Just save the patronizing bullshit for someone who doesn't smell it. 'kay?

Patronizing??? O_o!

I could reply beautifully to this, but I'm actually willing to stay on topic. 'Kay?

Have fun.



Exactly my thoughts!

I honestly think Jax has never looked better. His new look is a HUGE improvement over every other Jax. It looks awesome, detailed, elegant, and he looks real, human and normal. I really like what they did to him, and even though he isnt among my top faves, I'm excited to see what more they do.

XiahouDun84, If you're looking for trouble, post elsewhere. Same for anyone else. I didn't create this topic for people to get all pissy on eachother.

No Sheeva (so far!) and Sektor and a few others. But, I'm generally happy with how most of the characters came out.

I do wish that Sub Zero and Kitana were unmasked, but then again we do have battle damage!

I do wonder about Jax's and Baraka's appearances. While both are okay (and Jax's new look is great) The costumes for them dont look like they've been inspired by previous costumes, unlike the other character's costumes. Maybe some remnants from the scrapped MK8 project.

Other than that, seeing as I'm only really familiar with DCAU, it would have been nice if Jon Stewart was the Green Lantern in the game. It would have made Jax look less like "token black guy".

I kinda wanted Wonder Woman to have her battle armour on. (The only comic I've seen it in is Trinity) its basically the same as normal but with a golden Amazon style skirt.

What favorites? Only about three from the MK side made it in. (spare DC, I like everyone on that side)

I love mortal kombat, but I am so sick and tired of seeing the “originals”. They’re shooting themselves in the foot going this route. “Let’s move forward by backtracking.” I’m fearing this means it’s going to be this way to the series eventually does die (may be a long time from now).

Deception’s whole gimmick was bringing back previous fighters
Shaolin Monks continued
And Armageddon even more so
Obviously MKvsDC is

I don’t know what they’re doing, the MK team is talented (look at this) but doesn’t seem to want to build.
