Coming from the business perspective and all, isn't it a very bad idea for MKO to:

1. Not appear at the E3 that debuts one of the most controversial video game reboots that could quite easily re-popularize Mortal Kombat as it was pre-2000 era with Mortal Mondays and Fatality Fridays release dates?

2. Refer their visitors to other MK Web sites who could take this opportunity to "steal" the visitors from MKO and enhance their MK presence and increase revenue through advertisers?

Grant you I am well aware the MKO staff isn't paid to cover Mortal Kombat but I am a little shocked they do not have a cult following in California with volunteers who will be seeing the E3 show to step up and present more of the material than relying on other Mk sites to do this.

Sadly, I am hoping this will no jeopardize MKO's future and they can also focus on completing their Web site and networks with more comprehensive information and videos rather than relying on third-party resources to do this.

Just saying.

I got it. Post it in a sec.

Not the best quality but it shows the health bars. And I’m curious what those bottom meters are.

Just saying.

Darn, it's a real shame it's only shown behind closed dors. I'm not sure we'll get any new gameplay footage then.
I don't think it's allowed to film behind closed doors.

Thank You!!! :D

awsome!!!

I wonder what the bottom meter does.

I really hope this doesn't mean that "Rage mode" is back.

IT looks like it's a Special moves bar! So you can't do your special over and over again. Well maybe

The lighting is most likely a combo breaker, because that's the same symbol they used for MKvsDc...as for the S and the X...I have no idea. I sure hope it's not a super that's for sure. MK should remain MK, not become Street Fighter. heh

That's crazy man, thanks a lot! Is there any more gameplay footage pics?

I'm curious to what the bars at the bottom of the screen could be ..

WB has a conference at 6PM EST. I'm sure that they just MIGHT mention something about MK there.

From Jeff Gerstmann Twitter:

"(MK buttons sound like classic MK, but broken up by front/rear instead of high/low. Plus a block button. No run.)"

It looks like they are trying to copy Street Fighter, but I hope it is the combo breaker...

Didn't anyone see the fatality at ps3's opening conference montage?!

Huh? Front Rear? What does that mean?
Never heard of that in a fighting game before.

"S" could stand for SUPER. As in super attack. Very nice graphics btw.

Of course we do:

Did you read anything in this thread before posting? It's been discussed.

I hope it's not a Super...I don't see why that would need to be in MK.

I think the lightning is for combo breaker. I have no idea what the S and X are. I sure hope none of them is like the rage feature.

I think it would be interesting if Supers were in MK. I highly doubt that's what it is, but if that is what I means, I won't be disappointed.

However, I second anyone and everyone who is hoping that none of the symbols stand for "Rage" mode.

Maybe when the meter is completely full you can do those bone breaking moves like in the teaser trailer

I think it is a special move bar cos if you notice Sektor has just done a special move and his bar has depleted a bit.

Health bars look awesome tho, nice and simplistic. Thanks

This sounds most likely. Good call.
