Your ego borders healthy limits. How about shutting up for a year and let the actually not inane talk rule the forums? Thank you.

My apreciation for this ..abomination is little less than zero. The portraits have lost their identity without the proper fitting, sometimes quite random background, and the grouping is bad. Very bad. Having ninjas and cyborgs up in the line makes me want to vomit. NO artistic simmetry at all.

Relax, the game is still two months away, I'm sure that won't be the final arrangement.

I thought Motaro wasn't going to be in the game? Damn have I been missing out.

Agreed, besides the setup does look nice actually, so even though it may not look like the final layout of the character screen, at least we get an idea of what is is and how it takes us back to MK trilogy. So when the game actually comes out, the character select itself might change a little bit.

Yes....the end of all "Where is Motaro?" threads!

I lovite, but small details , the backgrounds of the head could be more original.

I see exactly what you're saying Chrome.

Overall though, I am *gulp* satisfied. It took a second to except the arrangement of everyone and some of the regergetation of costumes, But I'm pretty pleased.

Looks like all the characters that effect the story the most are at the top(all the Ninjas), right in the middle(Partners or Leaders) or at the bottom(bosses and sub bosses).Do you guys see that?

The backgrounds of each characters square are a little blan. It hints toward some sort of tie between the characters in the given row. On that point, Shouldn't Motaro be in the bottom row with the rest of the Bosses and Meat maybe be where Motaro is? Piculiar..

I love that they used Reptiles MKSM costume. So much more original that the actuall "lizard head in a ninja suit" thing. Cuz it's been done before.

Looks like they gave Raiden his White costume back? Good. Now all I need to see is the black costume as the alt and I'll be good.

Everything Looks great, apart from the background, i think it needs to be a little darker.

No. This is offical Midway stuff.

LOL! I can just see that... he pulls up next to those no-left-arm zombie women from MKD Konquest, asks for his money, zombie-woman runs off, and he beats the dead crap out of her. Wow, I need to stop right here... anyway...

I was kind scared when I saw that select screen, because most of the characters looked like they had on past games. That would suck, I think the MK team should "tune-up" every character's look, even if just to differentiate them a bit from their past looks. From reading the posts, it looks like they just used past renders to finish up the job as quickly as possible. If this is true, then hopefully, the final version will have unique character looks for everyone.

I really hate the backgrounds, to be honest. I thought it was very creative when I saw that the select screen at E3 gave each character their own background. Made them look like they had more personality, and everyone stood out. Now they're just color-coordinated -_-' ...

Love the MKSM look for Reptile.

Glad to see Daegon in there, but about the question marks... I rlly hope they dont put BOTH Khameleon and Chameleon in those. I think only Khameleon should be in the game. Not only does she have more potential for a story, but they could use her as an explanation to why Reptile is receding from his lizard look. (They interacted! *ahemreptilebabiesahem*)

So basically, change up the backgrounds, tune up the characters looks so we don't think you glued past renders in, and I think it would be kickass if they made the characters in the boxes move when highlighted. =D!!

Damn, I write too much.

You know what...Now that I look at it...Meat looks like Diablo from Diablo II i believe....just a little touch up and all. And why would Reptile have his MKSM render when he's clearly rendered as the MKDA one in that poster...

Also Onaga looks like his MKD render...

I'm Really Asking myself, are all the characters playable from the start because this will suck....If they are all, it's okay, but it would be weird, and I think that it is plain artwork, it looks to simple, look at the deception select schreen, it looks way better then this.....

No,its real.

And Reptile has the MKSM costume because Khameleon has finally returned to be in this game,and with her being there Reptile is starting to go back to be human-like.

I hope they can come up with a better select screen music this time. I personally didn't like the deception or deadly alliance ones. Something with an Asian tune to it like the older MK's would be sweet.

MK 2 Select Screen music =P Only with alittle more modern mixes to it.

It does look a bit fake, scorpion and sub-zero's renders look a bit choppy and poorly cut. I can kinda see unnecessary colors on their edges (especially sub zero's) and they look VERY floaty on that backround, which should be highly unlikely. They would be on a pillar, or standing on something so their shadows are visible.

Kinda like how they don't float on that picture, and you can actually see them standing with their shadows.

I dunno, maybe it's just me.

Hell yeah! Wow, just last night I had a dream I was playing MKA! And now we get the character select screen! I'm gonna have more dreams now, yeah!!!

I love it! I've saved it as my desktop! I love MK!

man...

you people sure as hell complain alot. Ok, maybe they photoshopped it up a bit...ok, maybe they used old renders, ok, maybe the kak should be moved...But we got something official from Midway. "IF" Ed Boon does check out this forum and reads this thread...think about what he would think of all you people complaining about what they released so far.

chill out, no matter what anyone says...some of you will still voice your opinions I know that and I most likely will be flamed to the netherworld...but Just be happy we got anything at all.

now, I return to watching.

I love the fact that they're grouped together dude.It makes sense of you ask me having the ninja's in the top row, Bosses on the bottom etc, etc.

Notice Cyrax and Sektor are right next to each other and Shang and Chi are next to each other as well etc, etc.

I like that personally.

Daegon looks interesting, like an evil taven lol.

BTW, one thing I noticed about Reptile.Say they use both of this uniforms MK:SM and his MK:DA one, his eyes are two different colors.Red in his oldschool one, and yellowish lizard like in his MK:DA one.Wonder what they'll do to change that or not.

Meat looks like Freddy lol, awesome.

Motaro looks badass.I love the background too the middle of the desert btw also guys, love it.I hope they go with this one to be honest, it's MUCH better then that rotate idea which I hated to be honest.

This adds the arcade feel and the true MK feeling with EVERYONE on there at the same time.Awesomeness!!!

Midway, I love you!

The organizations looks cool....
the backgrounds are color coded too!
Ninjas are brown/orange
turquoise is mediocre guys
blue are the main players (kinda...)
purple are the ladies
salmon/orangly are the monsters
red are the bosses.... and meat


I love that Meat is a character!!! and his eye is hanging HAHAHH
the C/Khameleons better be present too in some way!

Personally, I think they should use the question marks for the KAK slots (one for P1's profile and one for P2's) and put Khameleon in the select screen somewhere.

No,the KAK is the black thing at the top.

The ?'s are Khameleon and supposedly Chameleon.

Yesssssssss I hope it stays like this this 1 is 100x better than the other 1 and 2 all those people thats complaining yall need 2 shut up because this is tight so yall got somthin 2 say 2 bad!!!
And who ever says the question marks R khameleon and chameleon how the hell do u know!!!

I guarantee there will still be topics asking who is in the game...

Also, to people complaining about how the select screen looks, it's just a placeholder and I'm sure the actual one will look better.

Yes, I know where the KAK is, I just think it's a bad place for it. I think they should have a KAF slot in each corner, one for each player, or memory card, like they did with SCIII.
