I agree, they need some more ideas.
They could try to make them look more like something you might see in a movie.
For example, Rayden't lightining should look like actual lightning, not a ball of light.
They should do it the same as in the intro FMV for MKD. That would be perfect.

They could be a bit better yes, but I still think that MK has the best projectiles in a 3d Fighting game.

I think they look fantastic like ermacs swirling green 1 and dairou's spinning fire triangle

Ashrah's upward fireball looks really kool when it misses in a nice lil explosion. The sound is nice, too.

Ermac's fireball looks awesome.

Agreed.I also like Kabals spark.

I love the way Projectiles look especially when they hit and sparks fly everywhere i like that effect. And nightwolfs arrow has a cool green glow to it.

I agree, some projectiles look awful.
They should be as cool as they were in Mk1-Mk3 days.

I like ermac's old fireball like in trilogy more than the one he has now.

Projectiles never be my thing.The major part of the time,they are very slow and easily blockable.
But,sometimes,I like do projectiles...just...for fun?! lol
Sometimes it works, so it's not completely useless.

I think they look good. They look like they fit with the rest of the game.

I think Mileena's sai throw looks awsome and fast Yayyy!!!

Wth, it sounds like you all have the game already, I thought it wasnt going to be released till October..

Yeah! Unless they have already seen the projectiles in MKD by getting some sort of... I dunno. Maybe they saw like, alot of images from the game put together, so that it's animated, along with the sound, from like, a huge place where people can share stuff. Like a net. An...inter...net.

How about we all just relax and wait for the final build.

The projectiles are awesome.

No they're not...Sub Zero's and Rayden's projectiles still look like bowling balls.
They look awful
But some of the other ones look cool thoug, like Dairou's and Ermac's.
Other than that...they're some shit

As long as Mileena's Sais don't glow pink or blue or anyother colour I'm happy. Actually I hope they don't glow at all. It looks crap!

uh use them combos and they are effective. ermac's new zig-zag "soul" projectile looks grrat. the flame effects in most of kobra's moves are well animated. sindel and darrius need some work for projectiles. overall, they are much improved over mkda.

I agree with you. But, some are difficult to do after a combo, sometimes they are too slow to hit the opponent.

You mean you think they look awful. If he thinks they look good then they do to him. I myself think they look good and that's all there is too it.

I agree, to me, they do look kind of cartoonish. Actually, I personally think that they looked better in MK4. Although the graphics was on a slight less sophisticated engine, the majic pojectiles looked more realistic--more movie-like.

I agree to some extent I think the problem with the new 3D mk games is that some projectiles look simply amazing, while others look bland. I agree raiden should shoot actual lighting, another cool idea would be to have it ground out or something when it hits the opponent. Sub-zero should have something similair to MKII where it shows the tail of ice... Another cool idea would maybe to have 2 or 3 different animations for them and have them alternate at random so it's not always the same one.

I haven't seen all the projectiles, but I agree, Sub-Zero and Raiden's projectiles do suck. I saw Sindel's about 2 weeks ago, and it looks cheesy and cartoony. Her MK 3 projectile looked much more realistic.
