I'm sure there's plenty of less upstanding sites to find pics at.

I'm sure.

at least the site's acknowledging it now.

All hail the arrival of Sonya and her lovely double-E lady lumps! Here's to the third confirmed MK character: (__)(__) .... how immature.

Excellent! I'd have been extremely disappointed if Sonya hadn't made it into the game. I'm glad she's in there and I cna't wait to see what she looks like!
I'm also happy the Flash is in there. It'll be interesting to see how he turns out gameplay wise and what use they make of his speed. He should easily be one of, if not the fastest character on the game.

You know what I do not understand?
Is why make another thread that has already been confirmed in many many MANY other threads thus far,even though they have been locked?

I'm just saying cause it seems when normal users break news and able to confirm it that those threads get closed and even after tons of other threads about the same subject the only ones that stay open are the ones mods make.I'm just saying....

Jeez, Nice find guys! lol

REALLY?!?!?


I had NOOOOOOO idea!

Meh, I'm sorry, but I just don't think we need that many MK1 characters. Two is enough. Three is too many. Since Raiden will probably make the cut, four is just motherfucking ridiculous.

People complain we have too many ninjas, but at least the ninjas have interesting character conceptions. Plus, there are Seven MK games: half the roster coming from MK1 is pure balls from an ongoing fan's perspective. We wouldn't have kept playing the games after MKII if we didn't like them (that goes for me at least). When I think of someone who wants the roster filled with MK1 characters, I think of some one who didn't stick with the franchise. Why their opinion counts, I don't know. They probably don't even know MKvsDC is in production.

Not that I'm misogynistic or anything, but Sonya? Reptile is infinitely more interesting. As for female characters in general, Kitana would have been preferable, and even though I DESPISE Mileena, could it hurt to add a villain? I never really found any of the Special Forces members that interesting (exclude Cyrax), and as the character rumors from early June are showing true, we're probably going to see Jax as well. Fuck.

Fuck sonya,she suckxxx

sonya can be not interessant but is more icon!!!

the game don need 3 ninjas! h
ave 2 most important (subzero and scorpion)

is same put kitana and mileena and put jade...dont need...only change the color of clothes

the important sonya is in.... hate or not......... hehehe

I find Sonya pretty boring to be honest. But I am liking how she looks in the game. Also, now that The Flash is in, I really see no reason to have Kabal(Not saying that there was any speculation that he was going to be in). Im sure the only moves that there going to come up with for The Flash are just going to be ones that are very similar to those Kabal has. We only need one "super fast" person in the game imo.

They would have different outfits, just as they did in Mortal Komat Armageddon.

Also, I'll say it again: what is the point of having "Iconic" characters when the game is primarily marketed to fanboys? People who like DC won't care what MK characters made it in; hardcore MK fans will buy the game anyway. Midway won't make a dime of iconicness, which although wasn't a word before, I now ordain iconicness a word. ;)

I don't mind sonya I just think she looks kinda lame and that to me makes her less interesting.Why not make new MK characters that we never heard from but are from that universe?I want atleast a few new characters to choose from otherwise its not really going to feel that new to me.

I don't see how flash fits in to this game at all and not that it matters cause their just going to pick and choose who they want anyway.

To me I rather have Jade instead of Sonya.

I just hope these rumors about Jax and Stryker aren't true, fuck that put in Kabal and Ermac....way better selections hands down.

As for this, I knew about this the other day and saw on some others sites the screen shots. Must say, Sonya and Flash look great and the gameplay looks rather cool.

Also, a spoiler that I read since someone that posted the scans elsewhere zoomed in on some of the "boon convo"

This will excite some gameplay fans...

I'll be more inclined to believe it when I see it, because Boon has said things before which never came to fruition.

I can't believe there's still people who are "ZOMG" over Sonya's inclusion. I mean, that is without a doubt just an annoying foreshadowing of much more bitching to come as the rest of the cast is revealed. If a character like her who was 99% confirmed from Boon's first interview and who has plenty of reasons to be included gets a couple bitchers (yeah, it's a word), then I can just imagine in horror all the bitching that's gonna come from the rest of the cast. Heaven save us from the WWIII that's gonna be caused if someone like Liu Kang or Jax makes it in... people need to just calm the fuck down, all the choices made in the roster so far are completely understandable and expected, from both MK and DC sides. Just stfu and wait for a REAL reason to complain.

And what does the no more dial-up combo thing mean? Sorry, I'm a big fan of fighting games but am an analphabet when it comes to the fighting lingo. Does it mean no more single button combinations or something?

P.S.: (___)(___)

It's ok man, we don't have the mag yet but believe what you wish dude. I know what I read, so unless they decide to alter that in between that article and release date. I'll believe it until Boon or Midway confirm otherwise.

But if you want to wait to see, by all means man. I felt the same way about the whole "mk vs. dc" rumor initially too, and as you know most here were proved wrong because of "how unlikely" it sounded, just remember. Never say never...

"Gameplay 4 Dummies" in my sig...Gotta update that thread as a matter of fact.

Ignore.

Sorry lol forgot to address this, but yeah Pred's link is good.

Just to sum it up fast, dial ups aka auto combos aka branch combos are the combos that have always existed within the MK universe of fighting games since MK3+. Where each character has their own unique and different "dial up combo" where you type in the input command to do the combo. These can be mixed up with special moves such as stun moves(Sub's freeze or Scorps spear where you'll get an opportunity to do the dial ups for free since your foe is stunned), or off bounce moves(like Ermacs TK slam etc) whatever....

Example dude, in MK3 Sub's dial up was Hp, Hp, Lp, LK, HK, Hk, Back+HK it was his 7 hit combo.

Smoke's was Hp, hp, lk, hk, lk etc etc

In MK4 everyone shared the same dial ups hp, hp, hk, hk etc, etc

In the past 3 3D Mk's, everyone had dial up "branch" combos meaning dial ups that had branching/continuing combos starting on one style and continuing or ending in another

Example, in MK:DA Kenshi had combos that started in Tai Chi, went into San and ended in his Sword style. This applied to everyone in MK:DA and MKD just about.



In MKA, there really weren't any huge branch combos like there were in MK:DA and MKD but still dial ups/type in command combos just not as long.

Hopes this helps.

For what I heard from the scan transcripts,the article mentions Kung Lao and Sindel.
This is pretty awesome.

Can any britfags confirm?

Well who saw that coming?

Took me like 5 seconds to find the scans online.
