Ok, well this is a newer vid I found earlier today and after watching it twice I noticed there is a wake up attack that you can do.

Watch this Sonya vs. Flash match, 6:33 around you'll see Sonya knock down Flash and he has a wake up attack.

For those of you that don't know what that means, it means after being knocked down you can attack as you're getting up. In this case with a kick similar to MKA but a little different. So far no sign of wake up "punches"

Ahh, but it is...you see the earlier one with Superman(which I've also seen a few times) was questionable because nobody else for one did and it looked kind of weird...and at the time nobody was seen doing "any wake up" but this confirms they're be in there.

I'm really surprised nobody that played the demos at E3 noticed this, but happy to see them back in there for sure!

Perhaps the animations will be different from each other? Because Supes looked different then Flash's, yet in MKA everyone had the same exact wake up attacks. hmmm

I am really picked on the good side with this. Hopefully this means the Tekkenish (?) wake-up attacks. MK lacks so much in terms of gameplay, not counting MK vs DC.

Disappointed in Close Combat though. No locks, twists and stuff? Punches? Punches in body-length combat?

Hey everybody, guess what? I brushed my teeth when I woke up this morning! I even made my own bed and took a shower! Want to get excited about that, too? When I got home, I took the trash out! I should get Time's Person of the Year Award!

Didn't we see Shang's before? Why is this so amazing? We've already seen that they were back.

Yeah....spam is a bad thing, there's already a rant thread if you want to do so thanks.

@ death, I can help you out there this very important in gameplay (for the people on here that actually understand what it is and why wake ups are key to gameplay and care about gameplay as oppose to something stupid) I'm guessing a few people in here have no clue why this is good news, why am I not surprised..?

Yes a very good side, aggressive players will think twice before charging you if they're playing a smart defensive player.

It's not my fault you didn't get it. Anyways, what I was saying is, why are we applauding the team for a barebones, basic thing that is expected in all fighting games?

It's not "key" to gameplay, it's just convenient. We already knew about it and that's why I don't think it's that important. Sorry if you can't understand that just because I'm not losing my shit over a feature I must not know good gameplay. Why am I not surprised?
