I must go cancel my pre-orders immediately!!!

Yeah. It actually looks like a real-life aerial multikick would work,without a magic invisible jetpack to propel you horizontally through the air.

Do you even know who Lou Ferrigno is???

In no way, shape, or form does Liu Kang resemble the Hulk?????

Wonder if when he misses he stops or keeps doing it like older games. Seems like this time he needs the opponent there to hold himself up.

Then they shouldn't even try. Give her short hair and be done with it. And as for Sindel, just toss out all her hair moves. They were stupid and cartoonish anyway.

For sure, The bicycle kick look better than the MKvsDC version! More natural, less stiff.

What happened in MKDC when someone ducked the bike kick? Did Liu just keep going (stepping on air)?

Because the hair in the original games were so brilliantly flowing. Otherwise, how could anyone of ever played them without breaking cabinets? Also, I doubt pro Sindel players would be okay with getting rid of the hair throw.

I think the initial animation is just going to be a running hop onto the opponent's face. If he dodges,Liu lands like he normally would. But if he doesn't,and there is a face to kick off of,that's what Liu will do.

In b4 lol realism.

He's the champ. I'd give him a chance in this game since it's a redo. He looks oddly tall to me though.

He would sound so much cooler with some Jackie Chan style broken english!

It looked better than this tube of hair that just flops around behind her head. If nothing else, at least it didn't stick out so horribly and we didn't even notice it for good or bad.

*yawn* Such a boring trailer. The most exciting thing was seeing glimpses of story mode.

Did anyone else cringe at the way those lines were delivered?

I like the Johnny poster on the subway (Ninja Mime).

Excellent catch for the person who pointed it out!

*raises hand* But then again It's Liu Kang. ick.

Awesome. If this is a sign that we are getting multiple times of day stages, like we have for a couple now(Garden, Rooftop), I am one happy fucking man. This is something I have really wanted, because I absolutely love the arenas in the game so far, and the only thing that could make them better was to give us some alternate versions of them in altered settings.

Liu Kang looks great, his moves look fantastic.

Johnny's alt. is interesting. I usually like the alts. to be more serious, but he's one of those exceptions. So I am digging it. If they automatically use them when necessary in the story, that'd be sweet as well. Bring on Sub's scarred MK3 inspired remake!

Very cool video.

Here's the thing:

Noob Saibot's trailer was so epic that it makes this one almost uninteresting, to me at least.


Other than that...

The day/night changes for arenas are amazing. Love that!

Johnny's suit is awesome!

I apologize to all the fans, but the "sounds" he makes during fights are really annoying and ruin him for me. Shame, 'cause he never looked better, I think.

Also that story part where he challenges his opponent to Mortal Kombat is a bit too cheesy for my taste.

Anyway, I'd like if they would decrease the rate of those "sounds", other than that he's OK.

Yes! Johnny Cage's alt is perfect! I'm happy to see that they're using the characters alternate costumes in story mode.

I'm really looking forward to story mode.

You haven't watched enough Bruce Lee movies.

You are right about 3 things here.

1) Noob Saibot's trailer made this one look bad.
2) The day/night changes for arenas ARE amazing.
3) Johnny's suit IS awesome (and will be my default mode for him because I hate that fucking tattoo. But I hate all tattoos.)

Those "sounds" he makes may be annoying to you, but to me, they are the essence of Liu Kang. For 19 years now, whenever I play pool with my friends, I make Liu Kang noises on every shot. And boy does it annoy them. Shang Tsung may be my favourite character, but Liu Kang is my boy.

The part of the story where he challenges his opponent (Shang Tsung, most likely) to Mortal Kombat IS incredibly cheesy...but because it's Liu Kang saying it, it goes past the cheesy threshold into Awesomeland.

They will never make Liu Kang make his turkey noises less. They are as much a part of his character as Scorpion's spear, Sub-Zero's ice and Johnny Cage's sunglasses.

How DARE you! Sindel's hair moves are what make Sindel so fucking awesome. Without them, she's just some typical screechy undead lady (her screaming moves are far more cartoonish and annoying).

In saying that, I don't know why they gave Sindel shorter hair than Kitana. It makes NO SENSE other than shadiness on the part of NRS.

I believe that, knowing NRS as I do, we will never see Sindel have hair moves again. It's too hard to animate 3D hair in general and we know that these guys never do anything that's hard.

Also, the voice acting is so much better. I'm loving this new story mode. Everything I've seen has been superb. I love the reference to the MK movie with the dialogue between Liu and Johnny. Also, Sindel's hair moves WILL be in. They were confirmed in a magazine a while back, but they were definitely confirmed.
