Boon confirmed that there will be NO more dial up or "registered command combos" so to you "dial up haters" you can all be silent now since apparently we'll be able to make up our own combos. Boon said it in the article. hehe Later




nice, maybe we will see the old but updated juggle combo's.

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


LMAO!!!!!

You cant be immature if you are just skating the obvious.

Sonya’s boobs DO tend to get bigger, and she tends to look younger with each game.

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....


I see your point, but in Crows defense, the main reason (in this case at least) was that every single other thread went completely NUTS/CRAZY/PSYCHO about seeing Ms. Blade and her gigantic double E friends, that they started posting and asking for scans, which we know isn’t allowed. So the majority of those went closed.

Mine remained open for obvious reasons.

But yeah, sometimes that happens and its just weird. But I think, in Crows and the mods defense yet again, that in these cases they tend to take a very long time to update news because they first need to verify if the sources (in this case the magazine and scans) are 100% correct.

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. 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. ;)


OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Temp????? How long have you been here? When did you come back????? (*makes mental note to send you a PM as soon as possible!) I’ve missed you buddy! Im very happy to see you didn’t leave entirely, or that you are finally back! grin grin

As for your post on MK1 characters, sorry, but I completely disagree. How in the world can it even be called ridiculous?

It would make a little tiny bit of sense if all those characters you mentioned had only appeared in the first game and period. But remember, they have been constant to the very last, predominant in the series, favored above many others as well, and to add a cherry to the top, they have become icons. They are not there “just because they appeared in MK1”, they are not just there because they are, as you plainly state “iconic”, as if they didn’t disserve the title.

They are iconic for excellent reasons, not just because the air and plenty of fans went crazy and decided to make them icons.

And their opinion (fans) counts because it makes sense buddy, and they know “MKvsDC is in production”. I could understand your position if these characters had only appeared in a total of 2 games, but no, they have been constant. Even the magazine article quotes:

“A perennial whipping girl (Sonya)”.

You say “at least ninjas have interesting character conceptions”...that’s a complete matter of opinion. If Im not mistaking, your fave character remains Smoke right? (LOL! Remember our opinions regarding ninja vs robot? I insist, its so great to see you back man!!!! grin I cant believe I didn’t noticed you had returned! ), if so, I see why you say that. But people have more reasonable motives to complain about a yucky+boring “ninja-fest” then an “mk1-fest” (though it would be nice to see Smoke).

And don’t jump to conclusions so early, Sonya isn’t likely to be the only good female of the game (unless they pull a MK1-MK3-Mk4 again, which isn’t likely), so Kitana could still have a chance, and we will most likely get villains, and Mileena is a top candidate in that aspect, probably more then Kitana because of her MKD promotion.

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


I really really hope this is true!!! We are all bored of the dial-up thing, we need something new, hopefully original and that’s obviously fun+good! It was fun back then, but now, the change is important.

Btw, mkfl, he didn’t mean to say he didn’t believe the article or you. Just saying he doesn’t trust Ed’s words anymore. He IS known for saying a lot that never comes real in the end after all. Im really positive about this news and I hope its for real!

LeoBrZ81 Wrote:
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.: (___)(___) furious


LMAO!!! Well said Leo! I’ve got nothing to add...yet.

As for dial-up combo, it means the same style that was introduced in gameplay in MK3. Were you just have to memorize button sequences to do a combo all the time. Just memorize and type buttons....ugh, we are bored of that already. We need something that’s not as mechanic and robotic (I’ve just seen others already answered your question, still...).

It's ok, I have confidence in Ed more then some other people do but to each his own. So far though, as you've seen for yourself in my thread hehe it's true indeed.

I'll be really surprised if Ed goes back on his word with the gameplay gig since this is a "reinvented game all together" should be interesting Queveglasses

Anywho, I look forward to hearing and seeing more characters

Definitely! With luck, we will be having the best gameplay system Mk's ever had! Im presonally very positive about this game, despite the fact that Im no huge fan of DC and that I wanted a real Mk to begin with.

I hope this time is all about pushing the right buttons to discover and create combos, wake up, escape, etc., not memorizing and stuff.

I also hope we get a new Sonya Render, and fast! smile

Yeah, you bet. MKA did introduce the wake up, parry system I just want them to improve further upon that in this gamegrin and include addition of throw escapes and blockable throws again like the good old MK's. I wonder how the jumping will be. Obviously there's no air kombat, but I wonder about how the jumping will be. E3 will give us a better idea I'm sure

I agree with this. The dial-up combos were fun and all, but, for me, after MKDA, I really hoped for something more deep. And yeah, for most users, that was after MK4 or even 3.

No more dial-a-kombos? I'll believe it when I see it. I was also told MK:A would wipe the slate clean with only Sub-Zero and Scorpion returning (not quite true), that the next MK would be darker and grittier (sorta maybe), and that MK:A would get bios for everyone (partially true.) I take anything and everything Boon says now with an enormous grain of salt.

In the meantime, I'm glad Sonya finally fulfilled her dream and raised enough money to get those pups of hers increased to an absurdist size. We're all the better for it. I'm starting to miss the thong though...

Now, as for the "grain of salt coments", I see why you say that and I agree, though I think we can be quite sure that this is what will indeed happen. If that's how the game played, and if its 65% finished, I doubt it would be possible to change the entire fighting system to be dial-up again in this few months left.

Very true.

I hope this one works more like the tekken games and SC, etc., because those are the games most people enjoy to play competively for some reason, and that reason must be that style of gameplay. Its more fun!
