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.

I understand what you mean and I agree with you.
As I said, "I'm sorry", I KNOW it's his style. It hasn't bother me before, but this time it's just a bit too much for my taste. That's all I'm saying.
And yes, like you, I much prefer the suit costume for Johnny.

I think the one good thing that came from MKDC for me was the story mode. Even though I hated the story in MKDC, they're using that and tying it into this game. It looks like it'll be really cool.

It hasn't been hard to animate 3d hair since fucking Monsters Inc. They just need a better game engine or better designers.

I think the voice acting sounds spot-on for how the character of Liu Kang would talk. I'm not sure what the people who don't like it are even looking for.
I also think the people who're worried about whether or not Sindel will have her hair moves are forgetting that this is not Deadly Alliance Sonya Doesn't Have A Leg Grab And Cyrax Has No Net Time, it's MK9 Everybody Gets Their Classic Moves Back Time. Everybody means Everybody.

Any ideas for what Arena Liu Kang and Johnny Cage are talking in? Doesn't look like Shangs Garden or one that we've seen before.

I think they just were too worried about the realism of blood and puke spatters to take the time on a silly little thing like HAIR and making the characters with long hair, you know, actually look good. Way to completely lose focus on what's important NRS.It hasn't been hard to animate 3d hair since fucking Monsters Inc. They just need a better game engine or better designers.

Yeah, a 70's polyester prom tux is so much better. I don't like either of Johnny's outfits. If he just didn't have that retarded tattoo...i believe the part whit Johnny Cage and Liu Kang will be wend they reach the island.

anyone notice at the end of the video when liu kang is fighting subzero right before his xray he does like a little flip over the top.. but right before the flip a green circle appears below him... any thoughts to why that green circle appears? some super duper move?

Yeah, that scene looks like outside the armory. Look at the weapons racks outside that hut back there.

The Armory is in Outworld, Shang Tsung's island is in Earthrealm.
Geez, does my nut in that you have to close a thread with loads of pages on and start again..
Anyways, I'll say what I said again.
I love Liu's new bicycle kick, its more natural this time.
Johnny cage's alt looks pretty cool.
I'm not too bothered about the ladies hair, gameplay will be moving too fast for it to be a hindrance.

All X-Rays start with that colored circle effect.

My point. Didn't think that was the island.
Edit: I'm full of shit. Don't remember shit about the story.

Liu looks ugly! His costume upgrade is cool, but he's a complete
butterface now. I think it's his nose that ruins the look of his face,
it just appears oddly shaped. I wish they had modeled his facial
features on Robin Shou, someone who's actually attractive -sigh-

I disagree. Jarek's "ADEEEYOOAWKAAAAAAYYYYYYY!" was the best bit of voice acting ever recorded in the history of voice acting.

Feeling ya, buddy. It makes me nervous that the hair is animated that badly at this point in the development stage, and that they're comfortable enough with how it looks that they put it in a game trailer. Makes me think it's not gonna get fixed.

Said something about this in the other thread. But Did anyone else notice that Sektor has Jets when he's tagging out and doing his teleport uppercut?
I'm reminded of Samus jumping when i see it. Imo its a great touch. The small things count.
Another thing i find awesome and notice is that it seems that the attacks against the cyborgs are different depending on if its flesh hitting them or metal hitting them. Fuckin awesome!!

Rofl you guys fucking kill me. Liu Kang video thread turns in to crying about hair thread. Pull it together people.....its hair. Its not an OP move, its not a infinite combo possibility. Its hair...
As for the video.
I hate to do it, but I have to agree with the posters who dont like his voice. Im not trying to bring the race thing back at all. He looks exactly how he should look. But when you got a guy screaming out high pitched bruce lee noises, and speaking in a low deep tone....its a bit off.
Liu once again looks like the go to character for people who are not super familiar with fighting games. This has always been his role. His special inputs are probably the same (easy), and his combos are probably pretty simple to string together. This is a good thing
As far as the people questioning if thats Raidens voice in the beginning......of course its Raidens voice!!! Theres thunder clapping all the while hes talking lol.
Good vid
