My only dislikes about this vignette is Reptile. Does anyone really like his design? I think he's so ugly. It's his worse design yet. They should've gone with his Shaolin Monks design if they wanted to make him look reptilian. He looks so retarded and not even remotely intimidating. His mask is also ugly. Not only does it make him look like he has a beak, it's just plain ugly. Ok, so overuse of that word but it's true.


You would rather complain or dislike his appearance when almost every fucking goddamned piece of video/trailer/vignette/whatever the fuck is released to us shows us that Reptile gets his ass handed to everyone that fights him? And not once have I seen a video of Reptile actually looking remotely interesting to play as? Because right now, things are looking like Reptile has to be the shittiest character to play as because he gets his ass kicked every single video. And I have yet to see something cool about this character since MK4 was released.

Goddamnit Reptile. May god have mercy on your fucking raptor soul! You piece of shit that I love.

Love you!!!

LMAO, all I have to say is amen and I commend your post. Seriously, Reptile has been getting his ass beaten in every fucking video. He's really been handled poorly in this game :( :(..

Reptile has been the butt monkey of the series for a long time though. Even Bo' Rai Cho gets more respect than him. Even JOHNNY CAGE gets more respect than him. And Johnny Cage got garbage thrown at him in his own ending.
Now Im not into pixels but kano is looking good, maybe its because he looks like his film counterpart

I don't know how I feel about Shang Tsung's costume... he looks ok I guess, but I've seen better concepts of him from previous games.

And my extreme dislike is Liu Kang's teleport. I thought it was cool when he had his teleport-incinerating fatality but not as a regular move. Seems like everyone's getting somewhat the same fatalities and teleports in this game. Ugh.


I love Reptiles design, and what everyone who claims he looks like a "bird" doesn't understand is that some species of Dinosaurs had beaks, it's fitting for Reptile and I'm glad that the MK team went back to the prehistoric era to find inspiration for the redesign a character. This is my favorite Reptile. Edit: I'm aware you didn't actually say he looks like a "bird" but I'm assuming that's what you meant, correct me if I'm wrong, thanks.

They still could've made him look better... and show him winning ONE fight at least.

This:


Looks better than the current. And as far as him being the butt monkey, at least it has mostly been abscured by method. We had read about it, or dig through ending and shit to really know that's what his thing was.


lol making it too obvious that he's the rat.

On the plus side, if they do a Reptile vignette, he might win there. ;)

I think it does confirm the morphing. On facebook it says "Liu Kang goes toe-to-toe with Kano. Or is that Kano?".

Plus I think the fight is all one fight, and Shang changed into Kano then Reptile.

Maybe its just wishful thinking but I hope thats how it is.

Nice to see that in game, Liu Kang has a decent face.

It actually looks like his face in MKvsDC, which is my favorite of his appearances.

As for Kano and Shang Tsung, their costumes resemble too much of their MKvsDC costumes. Could it be NRS has begun to get lazy?

At least Shang Tsung has a cool face.

Ah, good catch! That one sentence, "Liu Kang goes toe-to-toe with Kano. Or is that Kano?" is a definite clue to me.

Liu Kang looks the best he's ever looked and he fights like MKSM, flames on the hands and everything! Liu Kang is looking better than ever. He definitely looks similar to his MKDC model, but not exactly and I think it's an improvement over MKDC. (And that is definitely not a heart rip, that's just a through-and-through punch.)

Shang Tsung looks awesome and I rather dig the costume even though there is a lack of the trademark yellow/gold in it. I agree with what was said about his youthful, attractive-ish face completely fitting into the snake motif. It makes him look more sneaky.

I can't believe how great all of these stages are looking! Amazing job upping the ante on that one NRS. Although, like Razor, I miss the "helmet-castle" lurking in the background with the orange/red portal behind it.

Bo Rai Cho better just have a cameo. Or DLC at the very most.

I have to disagree, if only because I really, really, really dislike that facemask. It's excessively large.

I'm with you on that, Cyborg-Hero. While I generally prefer the MKII versions of almost every MK1 character, I've always hated the MKII ninja mask. On the sprites, you can't really see it much but on the character select screen, bios and endings, it really stands out as being quite ugly.

FINALLY Shang Tsung! The greatest sorcerer to walk the MK Universe! I for one am in love with this outfit it has MK v.s. DC Universe similarities and that's exactly what I wanted,with a bit of a mix up and this is extraordinary to say the least! Kano looks pretty wicked glad he's in I know his fans have been waiting patiently for him :) As for Liu Kang what can I say? Damn he is a reminiscent of Bruce Lee the more I see him happy he's in :)

Well hey, I'm not a huge fan of Reptile to begin with... let alone the MK2 mask.
I think it's just a testament to how much I really don't like what's there right now. eugh...

Am I the only one who seems to love the concept of "fist all the way through chest? I mean.... dude... that's freaking BRUTAL. I would prefer it to be a two fisted thing, and to not have the "hold bloody fist up" pose, which does seem very Kano heart-rip-esque...

But seriously, imagine if it were two fists (or even one) jammed through the chest, and LEFT there. Victim goes all BLARGHRGEHOAIGHEIORGHEOGHIO looking at the arm sticking into their ribcage and then bLARGH dead.

Yummy


Liu looks pretty cool for once, be nice to see him again. I like that he looks so "nice"... not everyone in MK has to be total badass wink


The only thing I really have to say is... can't wait to x-ray the shiz out of him with Sonya wink I really hope we get to see their fight on the rooftop, with him ripping out her hair and her tossing him to the streets below. That was one of my absolute fave details of his MKDA costume, the lock of her hair on his chest.



Shang.... I'm not opposed to it. I like the youthful looks and how asiany he is. And I actually quite liked his DC look... but it could do without the ninja-style V thing... make his outfit more tight-fitting robes like MKII, or even go the whole hog and make it closer to MKI but with the younger face.



And seriously that stage looks mad incredible. I remember when DOA4 came out on 360 thinking "man I wish MK's arenas were that good"... and now it's like.... shatting on all of them. These aren't just static backgrounds, these look like genuine places. Nothing seems to be there "just cos"... they actually look like a proper place. Loves it
