Every true MK fan knows that motion capturers who made the fighting styles for MKDA sucked. The principal mistake in MKDA were the crapy fighting styles, moves, gameplay. And as I saw from the pictures and from the short MKD video, the styles are the same. Suby has dragon and shotokan, Scorp has hapkido. There won't be or maybe there will be minimal new moves for the characters who were in MKDA. And I saw also that Ermac has the same style as Hsu Hao. That means only one thing: Gameplay will suck, only new fatalitys and pits, character models, stages..... That's all. Ed Boon is a lazy pig, that's the reality and that's only because Tobias left the company. I'm and will be MK fan forever, but Ed Boon can't make MK alone.

Yeah i agree and want to add that most of the fighting styles dont even fit to the character they were, like scorps hapkido and pi gua-->come on!! The guy is a ninja, maybe ninjutsu would be more logical to him. And what about subby, Dragon and shotokan geez, the guy is also a ninja so why not give him different form of ninjutsu as for scorp. Some of the styles fight though like kung laos, while kanos suck, he is a thug so why has he two styles that reguire a LOT of practice and inner strenght/focus, Street fighting would be more logical or at least shoot fighting. And for reptile the dragon style would fit more better as in previous games he has had similar stance(trilogy/UMK3) the list goes on and on...
Just a thought...

True but the game has months before it's released so maybe the styles will change since boon said that the game would be faster.

There won't be any changes, they are too lazy for that. Just remember MKDA. Between MK4 and MKDA they had almost 5 years and they begon to work only in the last year. Also there weren't any stage fatalitys and one character had only one fatality. Their explanation for that was: "We want to concentrate on gameplay and not on the end of the match". Well the gameplay sucked.... They should use proffesional martial artists for motion capture like Namco did in Tekken or SoulCalibur, or like Tobias did with Tao Feng. Man, Tobias had a shity litle company and did better moves than Midway, I just can't belive that. With the combination of the professional moves and brutality, story and cool characters what MK possess it would be the best fighting game in the history.

How can you call them lazy, after all we've seen? After Konquest mode, after the puzzle and board games, after all those huge stages...
Lazy?! Lazy because they keep some of the same fighting styles (something we're not even sure of, since it's not official)?! How dare you?! You should be ashamed of yourself.

Also, you obviously know nothing, since Ed Boon isn't making MKD alone, he has a team of over fifty people, and I do believe John Vogel (Who is awesome, far better than Tobias will ever be) is making most of the story and characters like in MKDA. Not to mention Tobias = SUX, since he's the mastermind behind such brilliance as Shinnok, and the MK3 and MK4 plots.

Just because they are going to have the same styles, it doesn't mean that the gameplay will suck. Obviously they'll ass new moves to them and try to implement them in a better and more fluid way. There may be changes, but it's too ealry to just accuse them of being lazy without any proper proof and without actually playing the game yet.

The Konquest mode and the mini games are not a big deal. Look at SoulCalibur's Conquest mode.... The gameplay is the main point and YES, they are lazy because they will use the most of the old styles. I observed Ed Boon and the MK team throught years and there won't be new styles, it's a fact.

Hum, no, it's not a fact just because you say so.
I am certain there will be new styles, and Soul Calibur's 'conquest mode' is hardly close to MKD's.
please stop calling them lazy. You know nothing, you're just an ignorant, annoying little kid.
If your complaining so much about the lack of changes, then DONT BUY THE GAME!

More than likely, the styles wont change.
Its too late to start changing stuff like that.

Someone in this post said Tao Feng is a better game than MK:DA...

I HAVE Tao Feng! It really isn't anything to write home about. Its choppy, the characters have corny names, and the fighting system needs serious work. MK:DA is WAY tighter on the controls.

I'm talking here about fighting styles, and under that i mean that moves are looking so bad just like the gay stances. Look at the stance of Sub-Zero in MK2 and compare it with the stance of him in MKDA. Dragon's and shotokan's stances are not making him to look like a ninja. With this fighting stance he more look like an amateur karate kid. Man, look at the stances from SoulCalibur, just look Spawn or Mitsurugi. The moves and stances what they possess are creditable to them. But stances and moves of Scorpion or of Sub-Zero ashame them.

Exactly my thoughts. Stop fucking complaining. MK:DA kicked ass, and so will MK:D. So shut the fuck up because the fighting styles are one of the best parts of the game.

I will buy it, but not because it's MK6 or MKD, don't care. I will buy it because it is MK, because Sub-Zero is in it. But the fact still stays the fact that it will sux just because of the crapy MKDA styles and stances.

You are correct. The fact states that the fact will remain factual, as does the fact that the sux = the sux just because of the factual fighting styles that sux in MKDA.
fact. sux.

Also, I will refrain from telling you to shut up from now on, or else you'll rip out my tongue. Somehow.

well dont blame midway just because you suck at playing mkda... the fighting styles are great, there are so many possibilities for so many combos that arent even listed on the move's list. I keep discovering new ones up till today and I've had the game 2 days before it was released. The fighting styles suit the characters well. Subbies dragon stance is extremely powerful, that goes for scorpion's hapkido as well..

Ok my ignorant friends. Because you all know shit about MK, about past of the MK and about the style of the MK. The fighting stances and styles that are in MKDA and will be in MKD are maybe good for games like Dead Or Alive or Bloody Roar but not creditable for MK. So fuck Boon and his lazy team!
