If this is real, I'm officially pissed. Shang's throw gives him health back. That is such bullshit. Healing in a fighting game is fucking retarded and to make things worse the opponent loses health as he saps it. It was bad enough as a special move, but now its as easy as a throw.

It looks like Noobs have a new favorite character, and I have a new hated character. Good job NRS. For making a broken ass character.


Wish I could tell great amounts of gameplay details and balancing issues and player attitudes from a couple minutes of grainy footage.

I don't care how shitty the character it will always piss me off. The only way I could let it slide is if you burn meter for that shit, or have some other penality. But from the looks there isn't. I also hate throws that make it easy to set up a combos as well. Like Goukens in SF4.

Word to developers. Default throws should do about 8-11 percent damage, and they should be used for opponents who keep blocking. That is all. If you do anything else special with them, they become abusable and unfair.

these ass clowns have a copy of the game, at least in some form, and they pick... sub fucking zero. of all the characters to choose from... ugh. yeah, yeah he is the joe average players favorite cuz he is easily recognizable, and who doesnt love to spam freeze then hop to an uppercut. but everytime someone picks subzero, a kitten gets stomped on. please, think of the kittens.

but... shang's 5 seconds of actual moves was cool. i like his intro and soul steal move.

Shang Tsung's intro and get-up animation are pretty cool.

I don't think you get it. This isn't some bull shit problem like Kitana's hair or character select music. This is actual gameplay, and something that looks like a pain in the ass.

Also I'll bitch if I feel like it. I already paid for the kollectors addition, and I've convinced three other people who where on the fence about the game to buy it. But it shouldn't come down to sales. Everyone has the right to bitch and if you don't like it then that's your problem. I'm also not going to sit around and act like I love every aspect of this game. If there is something shitty going on I'm going to say something so they can fix it. I don't like whining, and for the most part this game looks fucking amazing.

I guess its a matter of perception.

to me, If I allow it to hit me, I deserve to get hit. As long as its not broken, its up to me to counter everything with 100% non-stop punishment!

Like being in a blizzard without letting a single snowflake touch me....

Thats not a valid argument. You could say that about any move. "Oh if it hits me, it's my fault. In no way is this move over powered."

The other thing is this is about gaining health back. This can completely turn the tables with two good players. I'm not too worried about this in the hands of a newb, because they would probably just spam it and all you have to do is duck to have their throw whiff.

Lol. Nice Demolition Man reference!

Yeah, I mean, I've looked at all leaked material thus far, but if it goes much further, I'm going to have to go into MKO rehab till April 19th.

Yes. NRS has stated that the roster is unlocked from the get. However, the achievements state that there are two unlockable characters. I don't know how this copy got out and I don't know who it is, but this is real.

You can turn that right back around on yourself.

"i am not too worried if im facing a noob, if he cant defend properly i can just spam health grab and I will never lose". A key part of balancing is the ability to defend and when.

unless we know exactly what the damage properties are, there is no reason to complain.

that is not even mentioning the grab-counter input where you can break a grab. Thus making you fully able (and should be expecting it if spammed).

No. I honestly only send nasty messages and rage quit when I lose to somebody doing infinites.

Just because I have a problem with one move in the game, doesn't mean I'm a douche bag who hates this game, and can't take a loss. I find it odd that the same fan base who has been clamoring for a deeper, balanced fighting engine is sticking up for this. But to each his own.

Then that's fine.

I hate those guys that get so upset when they lose they have to start yelling at you. I used to get it all the time on Street Fighter. Because no one expects to get beaten by Vega, lol.

I've never done that aggro rage messaging thing, but I've gotten a few of them. No clue why.

I just don't get the point. It's hardly worth the trouble.

We do know the damage properties. It does 12 percent damage, and it looks to give him about 8-10 percent health back.

No other throw has this advantage, and so far it seems to be a huge advantage. It was in MKvsDC. You could still be right, but as of now I'm hating it. Healing in a fighting game should come at a cost. Such as a crip of some kind or possibly burning meter. So far it looks like a normal throw with an unfair advantage.

That would actually be pretty good, yes. The bosses, Quan and Cyber Sub were obviously intended to be surprises so let them be unlockable though.
