When I first got ahold of DA back in the day, i too kept pushing diagnal up/right and up/left for jumping reasdons because i was so used to the arcadeish gameplay of MKII and MK3.

However, i think i can safely say that the jumping physics in Deception are not too important to the programmers. Yuo can still most likely perform air jump kicks, but with the introduciton of the three fighting styles inclusing the weapons, i have a feeling mortal kombat is slowly waning out the jumping we saw in the past installments as well as the infamous uppercut and such.

So to answer your question (although i am neither a web master or midway consultant) i dont think the "air" physics are gonna be big in Deception. I got used not using jumping in DA as it was a sure way for an ass beat. Besides, i prefer the more realistic combat we see now with DA.

Holy sweet mercy of mary and joseph kiddy boo boo fuck!

Uppercuts are back?



SWEET!

Take away all of the characters, levels, konquest. As long as uppercuts are back this game can get a 1/10 rating and it would still be the best game ever! UPPERCUTS RULE!!!!

Hell yes to the uppercuts..

Now make the jumping just a little higher..

Don't forget teleport punches and square punches. I reckon if they sweeten up the ground game enough I can live with a limited air game. I suppose. At least they'll always have room to improve.

Maybe Sindel will still fly?

We now know that Ermac Levitates himself so most likely there's some form of air combat and I'm sure Sindel will fly/levitate or whatever. They do need to put some more air combat back into it though!
