No, You're wrong. I don't feel for someone who says they witnessed something. And you're right about him being shady, this indeed is right. I also work for a Publishing company, but not an important one. I simply make sure the magazines are delivered to the stores. I know how the Publishing press works, and I'm only there to pick them up and drop them off. Although on the inside they just put them through and are looked at by workers to see that no mistakes are made. If they are, they need to be re-done and put back through, to complete and send out.

That said, I'm saying he's right, because of a Source I have, is as good as Konqrr's or anyone else's. I was told this exact roster, even the Noob Smoke tag team deal. I ALSO myself contacted BRADY GAMES, because no one else would, and got the answer that SOME secrets would not appear in the guide. This is perhaps why Jax is not apparent in this guy's line up.

I never said to Believe him fully. I said that the line up is right. It's right on the dot, and is listed right down to a T.

Don't get offensive on me, Man. Just watch for yourself when It comes out the 28th.

I'm not getting on your ass or anything, I just don't believe THIS guy. I'm not saying it's not true, I just don't believe it. If it turns out these six are it, and they're direct ports from DA, then I'll be the first one here to admit I'm wrong. Until then, I'm still skeptical.

I just find it hard to believe someone would risk their career to take a five minute glance at a strategy guide for a video game. But who knows. I'll believe it when I see it.

Ok here's why this whole matter is full of shit.He started the thread...

"The disappointing part of these 6 are they all have one fatality and its the same fatality they had in Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance except Sareena who uses Scorpion's arm rip fatality. Their fighting styles and special moves are the same as the last game while Sareena uses some of the new styles in Deception."


In his second post in the same thread,he says....


"One thing I should point out is that I'm not 100% sure that Shang Tsung, Quan Chi, Sareena, Cyrax, Reptile and Kitana are cut and pasted from Deadly Alliance. I looked at their fighting styles and they were the same as Deadly Alliance, most of which are being used by some of the other characters, example: Baraka uses Hung Gar and so did Reptile in Deadly Alliance. Did they change those styles since the last game? I have no idea as of yet, they could differ some, they could be exactly the same. I seen that Cyrax, Reptile and Kitana had the same fatality from Deadly Alliance and I did not see a second one. I'm only assuming that it holds true for Quan Chi and Shang Tsung, again I was pressed for time. I looked that Sareena briefly and saw she had a arm rip then decapitate opponent with it fatality and no other one was listed. If I am not mistaken, Scorpion has this same exact fatality."


Now in the first post he was very sure of what he was talking about.All of a sudden in his second post you see some hesitation and unsuraty.I don't believe this guy one bit.If he's not mistaken in the second post but dead on sure in the first post.You do the math. He had 5 Min to go through all that?Bullshit.

Yeah, you can go through that on 5 minutes and afterwards start doubting your own memory. In fact, it happens a lot. That's hardly an inconsistency you found there, Sherlock.

Don't be in denial. It can still be true.

It certainly reads a lot more truthfully now, judging by the 2nd post.

Even if it is true, it does not mean the likes of Sektor are not in the game. All it does mean is the likes of Sektor are not in the strategy guide.

Strategy guides are notorious for leaving out the really juicy secrets. I have read opinions where the Sektor in the cells looks just like Cyrax except the red. I am not sure of that myself but Sektor definately looks different, just as Jade looks different, compared to the others in the cells being old versions of their former cells. I would say he is in and maybe a couple more, on top of those 6 secret characters revealed by this guy. With all the work gone into the game it wouldn't be too hard to whack Cyrax in as a pallette swap of Sektor, or vice-versa. Again, a possible deception in a game said to be full of them.

hey I work for the MKAT and I get the inside scoop on Mortal Kombat: Deception. I have been sworn to secrecy but f that. The company was just discussing whether or not to put in all mortal kombat and the final vote was to include them all with two fatalities for every character. All fighters have been redone to fit into the new game. I hope this clears up some issues that have been going around. because I'm risking my job and ass for you.









Everybody is a nerd but I can't beleive how nerdy you people are!! haha what losers would sit here and talk nonstop about a game. I don't know why I got to this talking thing. I'm leaving you nerds to your arguements amongst yourselves. Just wait a month or so or whenever the game comes out and see what happens. Shit I can't stand you people... I've grown to hate this game now becuase of you. GET A NEW LIFE!!

To Scarecrow;

So you find it hard to believe someone would risk their job to look at the guide? Hmmmm....what about the nice guy who posted all those videos of game testing for us!!!! He was risking his job, but he was nice enough to do it. Your full of BS. If he IS telling the truth on GameFaqs (not saying he is), he was just trying to be a nice person and let people in on stuff he found out. NUFF SAID.

I think it's just a stupid story to get us all to start arguing over if it's true or not

god, nobody else here has any patience. I'm waiting for the game to come out then we'll see, but for now im not going to pay attention to these stories anymore, last time they were crap, this time they'll be crap, not all but some, and im not taking my chances.

wait, people, wait

I'm full of shit because I don't immediately jump to believe one guy on a message board who has a story that can easily be made up? I don't care if he's just trying to be nice, he could also be deceiving every one of you that believe him, and that's wrong. How can I be full of shit just for being skeptical? If you want something full of BS, re-read that guy's post at Gamefaqs.

No Prima Guide. There is a BradyGames publishing Guide which is in Print currently. He's made a mistake in writing "Prima" instead of "Brady". His Line Up Is correct, though, guys.

That's a pretty big mistake to make. Especially for someone "in the know" about MK. Anyway, where's the proof his line up is correct? I mean, I know the initial 24 are correct, but what about the Super 6? If he can't prove it, can you?

The only way he can prove it is by saying he contacted Brady and they said some secrets aren't in the book and that he knows the lineup is right.

Don't you think if this guy had actually looked at the guide he would have been able to tell who it was by? Especially if his "printing company" had a contract to make all of their strategy guides as he stated.

You're a real smartass. I did actually contact Brady though, and the Line up Looks correct. Although It's missing Jax (Brady said some of the char/secrets won't be appearing, due to a request from Midway/Boon.) I'm the only one who contacted them and got an answer. That's that.

No need for name calling. I believe you about contacting Brady and they said some characters would be left out of the guide. Then why would six of the super unlockables be in the guide and they leave out Jax? That just doesn't make sense.

i only believe that quan chi and shang sung are truly in to, cause we saw them in the intro and we know that quani chi's stage is confirmed.

the was right about the unlockables, we all know that.

i find it strange about what piece of info he decided to read, i would of look to see who the midboss is, then the secret character, and finally some of the fatality.

i hope this guy got a beta copy of the guide or screws up. if all the new charatcer are copies, maybe their fatality will be revamped with the new graphics

Jax ain't listed simply because Midway wants you to PLAY the game. Not read through the guide. He already said why. Midway wanted them to leave some stuff out. It's obvious the reason is Midway wants you to have to WORK at unlocking everything. Reading the guide ain't exactly working to get it.

that is quite the task for someone with a kindergarden reading level. J/K

guides are very cheap and easy way out or aimlessly finding things on your own.

i only use a guide if a have beaten the game or to see what i missed
