You said it yourself, it’s the "matter of execution".
It is possible to do new styles of "blasts" and "projectiles" that dont look like they've been done before. Use your imagination man!
Also, we are not saying they have to be SUPER DUPER MEGA NEW NEW NEW....we are saying dont recycle moves in this game, for neither the DC or MK cast. Dont make them look so fuc**ng similar. That Kabal trademark move Flash did, could had been done in a new different way.
Just picture Flash doing the same speed attack, but instead of making the opponent spin like mad like Kabal did, make Flash deliver a very strong blow when he makes contact with the opponent (while doing the speed attack) that sends the opponent high into the air across the screen, spinning wildly.
That would had been much better and original then to see Kabals trademark "stolen" in the "exact same way".
How many fucking moves can you come up with based on that? A big fireball and a slightly less big,differently colored fireball? Christ,man.
An example of how original moves can be made in projectiles is that of Sonyas ring toss. Thats a very different cool style of projectile...but its still a projectile.
If you find it that hard to create new styles of projectiles, man.....
Repetitions and similarities are bound to happen. There's no way around it.
Sure its bound to happen, but that doesnt mean we have to go all
>>>All we need now is confirmation that Batman is indeed doing Scorpions MK2 scissor take down move in that other pic to make us all roll eyes.
What are you guys,nuts?
I can guarantee you that nobody ever gave a fuck about Scorpion's leg takedown. Ever. It was the most useless move in MK2.
But as soon as another character dared to have a move resembling it,we start rolling our eyes.

Actually, that move was requested by plenty before MKA. And yeah, we can roll our eyes because if they are copy/pasting such a "useless move that nobody ever gave a fuc* about"...that pretty much says a lot about the quality of their game.
Exactly. I mean,I can probably come up with one or two more,but that's pretty much the extent of it.
Dude, just because *you* cant seem to like to use your creativity and imagination, doesnt mean the rest of the world is the same. I dont mean to offend you, just in case, but it does sound like you are limiting creativity because you cant seem to think of anything else that could look different and at the same time, cool.

lol exactly Queve. If anything lets challenge the MK team and have them try to do new things instead of copying and pasting. TRY, thats all.

This game needs to be thought about A LOT if its going to be good. Evr since like, Mortal Kombat Gold, things have gone downhill. This game needs a new employee to go kick some ass in that studio. Its stupid that Mortal Kombat is fighting DC because they are nothing alike. They SHOULD have made Mortal Kombat Vs. Street Fighter. THAT would be awesome because they are 2 fighting games that are SIMILAR.
How could anyone like this game?
It needs to be thought through for a while to be possible. if you go to youtube, newgrounds, whatever; people are making fun of ed boon cause of the dumb idea. If Midway takes its time, it might redeem itself. :)
NOTE: Ed Boon, change the fact that superheros don't do fatalities. There's going to blood and stuff and personally, I would LOVE to be Superman and rip someones head off. It would be fun. People like how brutal the game is. It should be rated 'M'.

eww mk vs street fighter? YUCK! I have a feeling that if that was to happen then the mk team would do what ever capcom saids and we would have no blood no 3d, no anything, it would be GAY, I rather have MKVSDC.

Street Fighter fucking sucks. At least this way they have some blood and 3D. I hate SF almost as much as DC.
Marvel vs Capcom was good only because there were more than just SF characters.
Hell I'd rather see MK vs Darkstalkers. that'd be good.

I've been wanting to get to know a little bit about Superheroes and wanting a brutal fighting game to put Superheroes in so I guess MKVSDC came at a good time. But please Ed, no MKVSSF, sorry ppl, I'm from the ninties too but I don't wanna ever see that
The only way I MIGHT be able to stomach it is if its in 3D, has blood and fatalities and the good SF characters (Bison, Chun-Li) but thats it. And capcom does what ever midway tells them

I noticed that too about the Flash screen shot and, believe it or not, I said to myself "Well now, how fucking gay is that?"
However, something tells me that it won't have the same effect as Kabal. It looks more like Reptile's move where the opponent acts confused and Flash get's a free hit. Still though, copy and pasting.
It's just that, well... Flash just sucks THAT much. There are so many other DC characters out there who would have original and indeed SPECIAL moves. But they're too worried about the iconic characters so people will easily recognize them and buy/rent a copy to stuff the money up Midway's financially crippled ass.
Ed Boon and company are just taking orders guys... we all have our bosses.

Actually, It's more like Midway and DC alike are taking orders or demands from each other, (more of a mutual thing)example DC gave Midway the Greenlight to Boon/Midway with the blood, busted up, realistic clothes torn look etc because that's just MK, despite the fact that MK is slightly toned down doesn't mean they'll "go all out with the toning down element" as midway would just no tolerate and can't say I blame them either.
So, in that right along with Fatalities DC is answering to Midway, however with how Midway portrays DC characters that has to be approved understandably so since they're DC characters and not Midway. Same with as if DC were to write a comic on MK characters, I'm sure Midway/Vogel etc would want to make sure DC did them accurately.

Given that there have already been attacks where characters charge forward rapidly with a punch that knocks the opponent back, the differences in execution in your suggestion still wouldn't stop fans from bitching that the Flash stole the move.
I don't really mind that the Flash has a move similar to Kabal's, considering it does take advantage of his powers and he'd be able to knock you on your ass before you'd turn around or blink.
As for Batman with Scorpion's scissor takedown... it might not even be a special move this time around, but rather a general sweep maneuver.

Yeah, it does look like a general takedown.
As for the Flash bit, thats true, but since we havent seen any character be thrown and spin wildly at the same time (tornado effect) accross the screen, that can please a big number, since its just a paste move, its actually "new".

well the flash actually has that move ive seen it numerous times
Dudes... all we have seen is 1 freaking screenshot right? And yes, that had ALL the makings of Flash doing a move we've seen performed by Kabal since he was around in MK. Please, do not get started if it's logical that Kabal can do this move, because you are gonna start a never-ending discussion on moves which may or not be logical. And my guess is that this is the last thing you want. Me for myself, I want a good and fun MK to be released and how can anyone here be around for another reason??
To get back on the Flash move... I'm sticking to the fact that we've only seen one screenshot. Maybe It'll actually look different once we see it in a trailer, or it'll be adapted in a way (like queve mentioned). I already saw one little different aspect, and that's how Flash is slowing himself down via the ground. It may not be important to a lot of you, but hey: It's a start right?
One little question on Superman's eye laser: Isn't that some kind of trademark move of his? Next to that, it's different from Kano's move, the beam is bigger ans he shoots it with 2 eyes I believe.

Not the whole MK fanbase, you'll find stupid posts with every fanbase including SF, SC etc. Which btw also has some recycled moves lets see here Ryu, Ken, Akuma anyone? yeah.....
Not saying SF sucks, but they have made some horrible games.

well.. The flash thing does look simular to kabals, but.. it does look like a different animation.
also, you really can ́t assume. and kabal's probably not gonna make it. i never liked him.. all I liked was what was under the mask.. and we haven't seen that in years

you know what? inventing 5-7 special moves for every character might be difficult after doing it for more than 60 MK characters! Are you gonna blame superman because he has kano's laser eye special move?

This is MK we're talking about here. If they can cut corners and keep the majority satisfied, instead of us stalwart fans, they will.
Still how many ways CAN you do heat vision, super speed, and, er, scissor leg grabs?....

this problem wouldn't exists if MK8 was a totally new beginnig,with totally different characters,fatalities and special moves.
Instead Midway preferred to make a shitty game with DC characters and OLD(iconic?Kabal?
i think a MK fanboy is not that hard to please,we neeed a game with 3-4 years of development,with a IMPRESSIVE graphic engine(the mk vs DCU's one is good,but not impressive),with a larger stuff(seriously all ED BOon 's team is about 25-30 people) when games such like soul calibur and tekken have a staff of 100-150 people(changing troughout the years,so for istance,don't use always the SAME artistic designer,concept designer,the same sound editor,but give to them different roles or the production of different games in Midway,and if they can't at least give them other partners to work with).
Kabal it's not iconic,but he will make the cut 'cause he shares the same powers of Flash....having the same powers doesn't means that they MUST have the same special.
Ermac and Kenshi have the same powers,and some moves are similar,but they don't share the same moves.
So i don't see why Flash should use the super-run move.
They can give to Flash a super fast punch combo....
