I don't know either, but for some reason, they kinda fit together imo.

And finally, the whole Catwoman/Sonya Blade/Wonder Woman/Kitana counterpart debate is over.

Catwoman's voice sucked. Last week's mash up was better.

Catwomans voice isn't golden but its certainly well done.
Catwoman and Sonya are both independent females. They go together well because one strictly follows all the rules in life while the other doesn't have any rules.

Wow... Sonya got her ass handed to her! Sucky voice or not... Catwoman is pretty nasty. I loved the whole "Not tonight Honey.. I have a headache." lol. tongue C'mon Queve.. come write your bible about all the reasons Sonya SHOULD have won that fight. j/k man. grin


The Scorpion/Flash Battle was kinda boring... at least Sonya's and Catwoman's was entertaining.


Also, I'm glad Sonya got Catwoman as her counterpart.. as was mentioned, it could be strictly for how polar opposite they are.


Besides, Kitana / Wonder Woman just makes more sense anyway.

I hate how they're trying to pass Flash as Scorpion's counterpart. It's fucking stupid. And what's with Sonya getting her ass handed to her? Are they just going to keep showing the DC guys destroying MK? I'm getting tired of that shit. It sucks.

I've noticed that too.. in almost every vid with game play.. the MK guys are being shown off like they're rank amateurs at fighting.. while the DC guys come off as Seasoned pros in the art of ass whupping. Not saying that the DC guys CAN'T throw down..but c'mon... the MK fighters aren't pushovers either.

I told you all this would happen and did you listen? No you didn't. Hope you like Boon fucking MK over.

And you people wonder why I think this is such a shitty idea.

Well, I wouldn't go that far... It doesn't mean that the DC characters were made to be better then the MK crew. They've done some cool stuff with the MK characters as well.. It's just not got a chance to shine quite as much as the DC side. I still think it's going to be a great game. Better than the last at any rate. Probably just playing up the DC side a bit because those characters are the more exciting (to some) new editions. Or it could just be as simple as whoever is playing the MK side when said vids are recorded... sucks at the game.

yeah i don't think the MK characters getting their asses beat has too much to do with the actual game so much as the players not being good.
or they probably just decided to show off the DC characters.

So because the in-game videos show DC characters beating MK characters (even though I see an equal amount of both) it automatically renders the DC characters far superior than MK characters in every way? As well as, from what I'm gathering, because you ASSUME (by gameplay footage, rather than cutscenes/videos) the MK characters are inferior to the DC characters the game is automatically shitty, Boon fucked MK over, the game is absolutely horrible, and we didn't listen to you when you were right the entire time... did I get all that correctly? Just making sure.

Did you ever stop to think that those are in-game footages, they don't really mean much for the story itself. It doesn't make MK nor DC superior from one another, the only thing it means is the person who picks the MK characters doesn't know how to play fighting games. Another thing, how does that make the core game itself shitty? Are you basing that entirely on the fact that they're giving the DC side some recognition? You SHOULD be happy that the MK team is doing the best they can to balance both universes equally both story-wise and gameplay-wise... cause, let's be honest, some of the DC characters are REALLY powerful.

The videos were great, I love the confusion they all have when they interact with one another. Such as how Sonya is confused as to whether she should be threatened of intimidated by this new being. Scorpion has no idea how he manages to teleport into another realm... it provides fresh new faces and interactions for both sides and it just gives a sense ambiguity-- who are these people? how did I get here? what do these people plan on doing? how will I interact and counter? etc... A really nice new take on an MK story where it's been predictable and lacking character and depth for some time now.

The gameplay in the Story mode trailer consists entirely of MK guys whaling on DC guys except for the last shot of Raiden getting heat vision'd.

Also, in this one, Scorpion laid just as much of a beating on Wally as Selina did on sonya.

More importantly, you have to keep in mind which side of the plot they are pulling these scenes from. If these are all scenes from the DC playthrough (which they all appear to be) of course all the MK guys are going to lose, because otherwise GAME OVER, CONTINUE?! happens.

More importantly, this video finally provides a technical justification for Klose Kombat, and that is because it can be done as a low grab. At about :58, Cat Woman misses Sonya with the high grab because she's ducking, but then succeeds a second later with the low variant.

we've seen the functional wakeup system, and now a high low throw game? Plus a REAL combo system? I daresay this may be the most technically complex MK ever.

And from a purely mk fanboy standpoint, Sonya's body damage shows underboob and that almost makes up for the manface. I can't wait to see what everyone looks like all torn up.

if you watch the on the spot footage (from 52:00), you get to see more than a couple in between the rounds.
