I guess you're right, the taunt and sweep looks like two actions, not a parry. Still cool that he can taunt, though. Anyway...

It wasn't me, I noticed the dragon head in the video, but still.

Looking at it frame by frame, Kitana tries to kick Liu Kang a few frames before he starts his leg sweep. It could be a parry, but I'm thinking this is just a showcasing of character taunts. We'll see.



Interesting to see that the enhanced version of his parry is a pop up. I'm sure we'll be seeing some ridiculous combos from him within a few weeks of the game's release. Honesty though, this game seems to be one of the few fighting games where I actually want to learn and play each character.

How do you make these? I've always wondered...

It's nice to see Liu Kang's fireball has a black dragon's head in it, makes it look alot cooler than a typical fireball.

Edit: Seeing Kitana's costume in-game makes me hate it less. I still think it's over the top with sex appeal, but it does suit her and it does look good.

Look at Liu's shadow. Look at how it projects onto the dungeon wall behind him. Look at how there's a second shadow on the floor because of another light source.

Dear god this game is gonna be amazing.

That is awesome. I didn't even see that.

There's got to be a stage fatality in there too. Those stalactites look sharp!

Is there someone up in a cave in the background too? Right above Liu's front elbow when he does the taunt. Not the dripping water, but something behind that.

I totally agree with you on the way Liu Kang face looks. I rather have the DC face morph if I had to choose.

I knew I had seen it before! That's kinda funny, seeing as Mileena's vertical slap'n spin kick is a move Nina Williams have.

Oh my, the Bicycle Kick on Cyrax's chrome dome is probably the best thing I've ever heard.

As soon as I read the front page, my thoughts were this:

"Meh, I'm so tired of Johnny's tuxedo costume...I wish they had something better...

*clicks video*

How awesome would it be tho if...dude Shang looks so badass back there...anyway how awesome would it be if his alt was the same as Razor's drawing...hideously--AMAZING! HE DOES HAVE IT! Fuck yea!

Damn, Subby's alveolar border got fucked up."

Remember the yellow eyes in the background of Goro's Lair in the original MK1?

Those're oni. They're still there.

Watching it again, I think the voice acting sounds great. The way he says "Only ONE fight remains! Face me...in Mortal Kombat!" and generally behaves during that part, feels like an old Martial Arts flick. Pointing his thumb at himself... that's right on point for Liu Kang.

I'm watching the thing going; "hmph!...hm hmm hmmm". Expecting for some out of sync lip service to happen somewhere in the thing. That's great for Liu Kang, and makes me appreciate Kung Lao's "For the Shaolin!" intro comment a little bit more.

When he says to Cage; "This tournament is more than a chance for personal glory...", it really does feel like a scene from out of the first MK movie. Which isn't top notch, but it's great based on the fact that I liked the first movie so much back then. The tone for the story mode is being set quite nicely if you ask me.

I wonder if Story Mode will be something like MKDA where you get to choose your character in the middle and therefore your costume. Unless the outfit makes sense with that part of the story, I don't see any other reasoning. Maybe the plot isn't linear, and you can take whichever path you want to but it ultimately leads to the same point.
