BAHAHAHA "thats hot"
I don't know about this Noob Smoke character. Sounds interesting but I'm skeptical if they can actually pull it off without him being too strong or too weak. kenshi still looks mid. Sub looks to improve his defensive game greatly with the ice clone (i look forward to Vers turning him into a defensive specialist. our matches won't be pretty). Li Mei still looks like Li Mei. Any differences for her? Same goes for Raiden. Any REAL impressions from Kabal and Tanya? I hope they keep both as good as they were in their respective games. But it looks like Kobra has Tanya's b, d, f, lk. Hmmmm. I think BRC will be reduced greatly. But with his drunken, anything's still possible. Liu Kang, wow. Be interesting to see how he turns out. He was the definition of speed and in a slower ground game the new MK's are in, he might be equivalent to his MK1 and 2 days. Which are still decent. Just not great.

Raiden appears to have his torpedo attack back.
Torpedo > lightning dash.
Yeah, I wouldn't hold my hopes for Li Mei.
Oh and it's too bad people from across either side of the Atlantic won't be able to fight each other; I would be quite curious to test the level of competition in tha States.

Nah Kang is gonnab e good. Kang is always good. I dont thinks its gonna change. Solid mid tier character like he always was.
Yeah me and konqrr def gonna see what we can do with Sub, but for some reason that retard(konqrr that is) wants to learn Li Mei first so he can shut up the asses who said he was lying about her being in the game or some shit like that. Only konqrr man..haha. But with the clone there will be so many more oppurtunities. If the universal track isnt in then Dragon: b+4 will be a great anti step/death trap set up move. b+2 will punish peeps who do unsafe moves, but then again no one good leaves themself that open. Off of launchers in shoto and dragon sub can b+2 them into a death trap for the kill as well. Now that I think about it. If clone hits and they are near a death trap thats also kill. Sub is gonna be so fucking ill it's scary. I can't wait. Might be his best incarnation since MK3.

ok firstly .. i would like to point out a few faults ..
ok the combo attacks in mk da were in no way unstoppable .. did noone use the block button ? and yes it dose work because of the fact that i was useing scorpion and the range of combos you could do in hapkido were amazing .. it was fast effective and furious but even then while i was able to pull off yet another 5-7 hit combo at something like 40 - 50 + % damage my mate wiped out a block and my character stumbled away and my friend smacked me in the face once or twice and then i blocked .
as well as blocking some of you must have learned to side step .. its the most effective way of getting out of an attack and countering .
then there is the whole pi gau thing .. i found that it was indeed a good solid hard hitting combat style
but easy to counter ... pi gau is quite slow in comparrison to most other styles the low kick for instance was very powerfull as were all the atacks in pi gua since it is generally a very strong style and dose a lot of damage butt a simple side step or a back step and a counter attack could remedy this .
thank you

^No. Sure, sidestep and counter my shove -> hellfire LOL.
man, konqrr still won't let go of the Li Mei thing huh? *shakes head* He ignored me on AIM so he'll be another vitim too.

Well, Li Mei going by a video that's on Gamespot that was released a long, long time ago shows her able to do I think it was two or three Klock Kicks back to back with hardly any lag until the last one hit. She then was able to do two Kartwheel Kicks back to back while her opponent was in the air. I'd consider that an improvement in the specials department but as for her fighting styles, no clue.

Fact is though that the PAL version on 50Hz is noticeably slower, making not all strategies work as brilliantly.

Li Mei can do that in MKDA.
MENTHOL - I ignore 100's of IM's per day because every damn time I sign on, I get bombarded with worthless IM's. I did not intend to upset you.
Li Mei ownage...coming to an Xbox/PS2 in your front room, courtesy of Konqrr.
LOL
...
And I'm just playin' peeps...I've never had any MKDA competition other than my scrub brother, so it'll be a new experience for me (comp).

Li Mei could do the Klock Kick in rapid succession but there would be a brief pause in between each one allowing for a counter attack of some kind. In the video though that little pause seemed to be completely gone. Li Mei couldn't do two Kartwheel Kicks one after the other in a juggle, it was too slow in DA. It's been sped up quite a bit.

It's all good. For the week that I rent MK:D, I can see what I can find with Sub-Zero and share the info. If anyone remembers back when MKDA was released, all I did in strat threads were Sub-Zero strats and combo. Heh.

Nightwolf
I just feel it. He's going to be broke, like Sagat crouching fierce, broke. Fucking, lighting, insta-ninja-teleport...broke.

Can someone else PLEASE confirm whether or not Hellifire is blockable.
Everyone seems to be taking Konqrr's word for it without even knowing for sure.

By reputation Konqrr doesn't say anything that he doesn't know to be true. He's not known for playing something up as fact if he isn't sure. Honestly, it does make sense that it would be blockable. Maybe the designers don't pay much attention to most gameplay related material here but they're not braindead. They can see people complaining about hellfire and infinites all the time and that stuff is easy to fix.

It's just that nobody else said that they saw this.
He is the only one.
Thats why I don't believe it.

You can trust Konqrr, he knows his stuff.

Dont worry guys.I think the newfighting style that scorpion has is awsome.
After all he still has hapkido.

Ok.... many people have established that already.
BUT WHERE THE HELL DID HE SEE IT!??!?!?
AND HOWCOME NOBODY ELSE HAS SEEN IT!!??
He doesn't get any extra footage of the game, he gets the same shit the rest of the people do.
So if he saw it, then someone else has to have seen it.
Thats all I'm saying.

I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHAT'S UP ON THE MK2 VID, KONQ! TYPING IN CAPS RULLLLLLLLZZZZ!!!! All you had to do was muster up the energy to type me an answer. I realize that's hard work though and is far too unimportant for your busy schedule. In the spirit on kung fu movies where speech isn't important, when we play mkd, you are *slowly puts his thumb down as in saying "you're dead, mother fucker"*.
As for not trusting konqrr, baha I remember last time that happened. S'all I'm sayin'.

Does anyone else miss MKL?

You can find him at doacentral terrorizing everyone.

Verse: While I don't think Kenshi will be top, he will be a lot better, simply for the fact that he has Telekinetic Throw and can juggle into a telekinetic throw.
So like after a launch; Kenshi can do TKS and jabs, but he ends it with TKT. It's a big damage combo as well as the TKT driving the opponent long distances as well as causing wall hits. If for anything else, I think Kenshi might be able to juggle someone for a length, correctly positioning and then TKT someone into a DT.

MENTHOL Wrote: You can find him at doacentral terrorizing everyone.

WTF is he doing at DOA central? What, he packed up and just switched to another shitty game, lol. J/K
Yah, I miss his info, too. Hopefully he'll pop up for a few posts when D is released.

well from the looks of things on the new vids it looks like throws are indeed unblockable, which is a good thing. What characters are you guys gonna use?
I'm gonna use everyone, but I'm gonna start out with Sub Zero, Kobra, Kabal, and Baraka
Let's keep this thread bumped

For your information...Bo's infinte still worked at E3 easily..i actually did it infront of boon and others....then asked if it would be fixed...they said yes
