Thanx alot for the info dude... i'm so excited icant think of wat to ask ... lol
Cheers

Great info Kano_Fan.
Oh hope you don't mind me asking a few questions.
Any tid bits on Sub-Zero and/or Scorpion?
Endings, moves/abilities, "get up" animations, etc., that we may not have seen yet?
Also, could you describe Rain's look in MK:D if he was one of the "jailed" kombatants?

-Nightwolf- Kobra is Sonya's brother and then goes on to join the organization she's been fighting for over 12 years? Oh, the angst.

But it's a force of good now. Just remember that the Red Dragon is hunting down every member of the Black Dragon.

The Black Dragon being hunted by the Red Dragon doesn't make the Black Dragon any less evil. Sonya is still an enemy to both.

You know, until you said that... I never realised that Sonya was basically 40. She's definitely aged well. A lot better than Sub-Zero, that's for sure.

Pre DK movie = NO - just starts off with a close up of him roaring ( your character is standing beside him,battle ready) then the camera just moves back while the DK turns towards your character
special moves = the number varies from player to player - subzero only has the ice clone and freeze moves while kobra has about 5 moves.
get up animations = they only seem unique if the character falls onto their back
subzero = puts arms back and fires ice towards the ground , the force pushes him back up ( there is no "pillar" though)
ermac - green energy surrounds him and levitates himself back up - his body is rigid and his heels dont leave the ground
nightwolf - same as ermacs, but instead of energy,its a green barrier (like the reflect move from MK3)
mileena = gets onto her hands and knees then lets out on angry scream before getting up
ashra = spins quickly ( she's got kung lao's old spin move from MKII and 3 and she spins during her version of the torpedo - the "get up" something similar)
Yes it definately was sareena in the prison - she looked exactly the same
during attract mode,in between demos, you could see bios of some of the characters - the consoles were ever only idle long enough for me to see two of the - ashra and subzero (again these will be just sumerized versions)
ashra - used to be one of Quan chi's body guards until she didn't agree with one of his plans. She was cast ouyt and the other bodyguards were sent to kill her. While she was on the run,she found a blade known as kriss which she used to defeat her first attacker - as she did,she felt a strange power flow through her - the blade was enchanted, now with every deamon she slays,she feels that she is being purified.
subzero - *short version* Frosts ending was true but she didnt kill subzero.He decided to give her a proper burial and took her to the top of an icy mountain - there he discovered an ancient temple.
(funny thing is that after i read that, i played on the prison stage and there she was!)
all previous styles/weapons are basically the same but with fixes/additions
q's about noob - smoke = yes they have 2 icons below the lifebar and yes , you see the styles at the bottom of the screen. Personally, I dont think they have a weapon - they dont really need one and it would interfere with the tagging if you had a weapon style in between the 2 fighting styles.
kobra has a difficulty rating of 1 , scorpions is now 2.
baraka does not have the blade fury move
my fave chars so far (no order)
kobra
mileena
ashra
scorpion
baraka

Kano_Fan - Dude, you've given us so much info. Thanks a bunch!
I'm loving Ashrah's bio.

finally someone who isnt bullshitting.. sounds like some great news... smoke sounds awesome
and i knew those jewels were the source to kill the DK!

Ashrah is AWESOME!!!

Oh man, Kobra is gonna be great to play as. Since he has a move where he juggles the guy with 4 kick hits, but it looks like 2 hits. It must be video lag or something, but during the Scorpion VS Kobra vid it just looked like that.

BIG news on Ashrah's storyline. Here I thought she was this noble character sent by the Gods... really, she used to work for Quan Chi and is a little bit of a psycho.

just incase any one goes down there - herees some info.
My friends were talking today and we realised that all the fatalites and the ending were performed on the PS2 version ( there were 4 PS2's and 2 XBOXes) the XBOXes kept freezing and when we asked why, the representative said
"this version is only 80% complete"
those were his exact words.
If you want to play konquest/look at the krypt/kontent you will have to use the xbox version to create a profile (PS2's had no mem cards)
anyways about the game - to select the alt costume you need to press start,same as DA and i dont think the pic changed at all but that was on the XB version so that might change

Great POSTS, I CAN'T WAIT.... TO PLAY GAME! So wats with Bo? So does he really have 2 fire fatlities? I hope not, maybe they just souped up his old breathing fire one. Any news on this as I'm a HUGe Bo fan I'm disperate to know.

that kick is the same as cage's karate stance sumersault kick - its not a special move. Darrius also has it but without the flames.
i just realised that kabal is missing from my faves list - he doesnt have the ground saw but does have a weird move....he holds his hands out,they start glowing blue - both characters are pulled together ( as if they were pulled by scorpions spear0 the bang into eachother , knocking eachother out. When they get up, they have switched sides of the screen.
FatGuyWithALittleStaff - I'm also hoping that is a re-working of the previously seen fatality. somebody asked about the fire effect - the fire itself looks ok but the characters dont burn/get charred - they roll around and put out the flames

That would be a great move if you got your back to a death trap!

*EDIT* oops - ive already answered those q's...! what else can i add? Onaga has a taunt - he turns towards the camera and roars at you. When he wins, the text says Onaga wins but the announcer switches randomly between "Onaga wins" and "The Dragon King wins"

ashrah's plot is superb. very, very cool. ahem...sareena was one of quan's minions, too. coincidence?
i have to say noob - smoke being the sub bosss does not bother me at all but sub-zero and baraka not having their klassic slide and shredder moves is a huge upset to me. so much for combos of old coming back.

No, he doesn't use the fire. He uses a downward kick motion and it looks he hits them once when he really hitted him twice. Quite an effective move.

yeah - thats a special,sorry
the effect makes like an arc of fire.

I think now I FINALLY starting to realize that people you see in the prison stage are NOT gonna be in the game! :)

what does the burning effect look like in bo roi cho's fatalies?

abomb1987 Wrote: what does the burning effect look like in bo roi cho's fatalies?

its similar to MK 4's toasty but better looking - the victim doesnt run around so much though. But all that goes on in the background as the camera focuses on BO Rai Cho attempting to get fresh air!

wow, so frost really died...what a shame, I kinda liked her, she was the best new female in DA imo

Don't be sad. Like all of MK's characters, she'll somehow thaw the ice and get out. LMAO
