Watching it right now, Shang Tsung looks great. There's some things I don't like though...hold on.
They just showed Superman running Scorpion running through the building in Metropolis....that looked really good....hold on. EDIT That running through the wall thing looks to be a shared move for all the characters. Scorpion can do it too apparently.
Sonya looks fantastic, the leg grab...the bicycle kick, the "kiss of death", the ring toss...they're all in as special moves for her in-game.
Flash is as expected....nothing that you can't imagine from him is in so far. The dash like Kabal, a small combo here and there based on his speed...ect...Nothing out of the norm for "speed" in a video game. Hold on....
Facial Expressions are in....hold on..
Superman and Sub-Zero can freeze you. Sub-Zero has(I think it's) Rain's MKA teleport. Except it's ice, instead of water. EDIT It looked like Dairou's tombstone teleport, but with ice. EXACTLY. I'm sure.
Flash has Scorpions teleport....sorta. It's like a running maneuver that makes him appear on the other side of the opponent. EDIT He runs backwards with a streak(like he should), then disapears for a quick second, then, he appears on the other side of the opponent. It's almost exacty like Dairous teleport in that aspect. Like..EXACTLY. No bs, no bias told from me. That's what it looks like.
Getting ready to show something about fatalities...hold on....
More evasive talk on the Fatalities....Scorpions MK1->> Fire breather fatality revealed. No info on any DC characters finishers except that maybe Catwoman might have some sort of "fatality".
E3 2-3 more characters revealed...
Comicon, 4 more characters revealed...
~space to edit~ Watch this post for about 30min until the show is over.....12:30am Midwest Time. DONE
EDIT DONE EDITING. That's all we got folks. Maybe re-watching the broadcast will spring new conversations about it. No, I didn't list what I didn't like about it in this post. i just listed what I saw. Let the conversation commence....
Shang Tsung does look pretty cool. It's a mixture of old and youth look. Looks great... gameplay seems very fast (which seems good at the moment), and that knocking through building was very cool. The level designs look great as well. I wanna see if they ever mention or show any finishers.
Edit: Nothing new mentioned about the Gameplay... Yay they're about to mention the Fatalities
Some moves I can already see are being shared by characters, but I assume that will be changed. And Free Fall is a bit too slow, making it look stupid, but whatever.
Ed Boon and MK team....THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH for hearing the fans and my constant bitching about Sonyas powers and taking into consideration my Fight Night Question!!!!
I havent seen anything, but Sonya sounds fantastic!! She has ALL the special moves I listed for her that were a must, all I need to see is if she has 2 new moves and thats going to be an awesome coincidence.
Watching it now...so far it looks okay. The fighting doesn't look bad but Superman has a freeze move which is a little annoying since Sub already has ice covered. Free Fall looks a bit slow but they might just be going slow to show us how it works.
Just said Scorpion is gonna have his classic fatality. Two more characters gonna be shown sometime. Shang has his MK 3-ish look. Throwin people through buildings looks pretty interesting. Flash's fast punchy thing looks a little unbalanced but hopefully it wont be.
Yeah so far this is deffinately a rental for me. Buying chances have raised a bit after seeing the actual fighting in action.
You work with what you got...not what you hope for.

good stuff indeed. The gameplay vids are on gametrailers.com if anyone wants to see it. I agree that the superman freezing thing is a tad annoying. So far gameplay looks great. Shang Tsung looks awesome.
The game is lookin better than I originally thought. Shang looks good, still in the air about catwomen though. My only complainant is that there is a chance the game will be unbalanced since Boon said certain characters will advantages & disadvantages against each other.
They should just stick with calling the DC's supers "Brutalities" there's really no need to add anymore alities then there already are (babality, animality, brutality, fatality, etc...)
I'm glad Scorpion has his original Fatality, here's to hoping that Sub-Zero has something remotely similar to his original Fatality.
