Thanx for the info, and I gotta thank u for confirming the Dead Pool Deathtrap!!! YES!!! Can't wait to throw people into the acid

Just curious Tim, did you catch who the sub-boss is?

did you get to see Noob Smoke in action?

if so do you fight them on a special level (like most sub-bosses)? or is it just a randum level

also did you get to see the Ice worm stage? "if its even in the game"

Thanks a lot for the info TimsTK

Oh yeah, heh. Just lucky enough that I don't start back at college until next week, otherwise that woulda stuffed it up.

Anyhow, some more questions:

Obreck Wrote: Just curious Tim, did you catch who the sub-boss is?

No, I didn't get that far (I don't know if anybody did either), the AI got a little bit tricky at about 50% with death traps and stuff so it got real hard to win (obviously not being used to the new stuff) so instead I quit and tried chess with my mate.

fraysol Wrote: timsmk, hey you know if impaling is back like in mkda where you can stab ur opponent and they slowly bleed to death?

I'm actually not too sure but I would imagine so. Don't know how you'd do it though considering the SM button is now a throw grab.

I didn't get to see Noob Smoke, but his 2 character mugshot was on the select screen (though shaded out).

Didn't see an Ice worm stage, only stages I played on are listed.

]ombat is meant to be going today so he might be able to confirm some of these details that I didn't get time to find out (the show starts earlier today as well).

Firstly, thanx alot for the hard work put in.. I was just wondering when u played with scorp, do u feel he's not as good as he used to be becoz he's missing his Pi Gua Style or was he overall like not so good anymore? And does he have any new moves other than the ones we have seen before? Lastly, did u see any new character special moves that we havent npt seen yet? Thanx again Bro

cheers

Thanks for theinfo man. I love it all.

Was Nightwolf's get up after a round or during a round ? It's been so long since MK3.

Did you see any other get ups that were good ? If so can you please give detail? Thanks

Dang Double post!!

Scorp definately wasn't as good as he used to be. His two new styles don't beat Pi Gua at all, but his new weapon is better than his old one I think.

When he loses a round and when he's getting up for the next one.
That actually does remind me that Bo' farts to his feet.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...

Timsmk, any idea if backdash-cancel and universal tracking still exist?

Also, a few other questions, I hope you won't mind answering:
* Since you live in the UK and this was a demo, was it really a PAL demo? That would be good news.
* I saw Sub-Zero do 1,2,4,b+2 in an early video once in shotokan. Is that a combo now, or was that just something misinterpreted?
* Do Kabal's hookswords have the same moves as Mavado's?

Cheers,
VQ

oh yeah, did you die? if you did die, does the screen ask you if you want continue? is it like MKDA where you can just continue or rematch without any limit. or will it be like MK1,2,3,T where you only can continue depend on how many Lives you have. (does this make sense?)

Nice work Tim.

Awesome! Thanks for posting this Tim.

I really wish I could've gone and met up with you as you wanted, but as I said, I had my new job holding me back. And a severe lack of money doesn't help matters either! lol

Glad you enjoyed the game! Thanks again for the info.

No I didn't, but I think it's the same as MKDA where you return to the character select and just go again (guessing because it had the player select option in the start menu).

To be honest I didn't really check for BDC and tracking, but I would think so, because the core engine felt pretty much exactly like it did in MKDA so not much had changed in terms of that kinda stuff, just that the movement controls are a bit faster and more responsive.

I didn't play as Sub-Zero so I couldn't answer for definate, but I doubt you mis-interpreted it, simply because a few new combos have been added (quite useful ones too), like Scorpion can now do 2,2,3,U+4 in Hapkido (hook punches to his axe kick to his thrust kick popup), so it wouldn't surprise me if he had that or something like it.

Kabal's hooksword style is the one from MKDA but it has some new stuff to it, some strings added similar to above kinda stuff.

I think it was a PAL version because it seemed like it was playing at 50Hz, although a very fast 50Hz, but I don't think it was at the full speed by looking at the vids online. Could be wrong, but I think it was a PAL version.

Hope that helps.

Did you get to Noob/Smoke? If so, what were his styles? I'm still wondering if They each will have different styles, or if they'll have a weapon style.

Thanks timk.
I have a question, did you feel that the combos system is better than MKDA, or somewhat upgraded?
In one of the released videos, I saw Scorpion performing a 3 hit kick in a row that looked great. Not talking about the regular pop up one like we used to see in MKDA in is Hapkido style. Did they changed Scorpion Spear to back, back, LP?
Glad to hear they speed up the game.
Oh and another thing? Is this game worth our wait in your opinion?

I'd say it's better yeah. The breakers aren't as bad as they were made out to be, new strings and the like are looking more useful than in MKDA, so yeah.
Scorpion's spear is still B, F, 1.
As for worth the wait, definately .

Wow so it's back to trying to throw the cpu while he blocks a couple of times again.

I just have one stupid question. For Mian chuan is Mileena on one foot or two and was she hard?

i have a question about the people in the prison stage (my own theory on super unlockable's) did shao kahn and sektor look like older models (jarrek, old jade, fujin) or did they look like up to date 3d models....it's like from what i've seen of konquest...the people that end up being playable look great but just side charactars like ninja reptile look bad....i'm hoping the better looking 3d prisoners (sektor, and maybe shao khan depending on your answer) will end up being playble.....**hoping**

my questions are...
is the computer still very cheap?

how hard is it do knock people into death traps and knock people through the other levels of the stage?

why are u people complaining about being able to block throws, they were blockable in 1 2 3 maybe they dont want people just sidestep throwing, and want some skillful gameplay for once,

cpandolfo Wrote: Sinister_Spectre Wrote: One more question man lol I appreciate your help. Would you say Scorpion is one of the top Tier characters again? My god, there are 23 other characters in the game man.

I went as well and although you werent meant to, I took 2 photos of the MK:D booth! Can I post them on the forum? Or is that against the rules?
Cheers

Thanks tim for answering my questions!
