Maybe we're taking the statue too seriously. I'm taking it's meant to represent the death of the old Queen Sindel. I don't think it has something to do with the resurrection. Shao Kahn had one in Armageddon so why would his Queen wouldn't. Remember, we have seen Shao Kahn seated on his throne and yet he is confirmed to be in the game. They can't cut her off like that.

Oh and I'm not really fond of Kitana's overall look. It's not that it's bad, it just could have been better.

As for Sindel, I'm pretty sure she's in the game. If her statue is in Jade's desert background that doesn't mean that she's out, Edenia during this era was corrupted by Shao Khan. It's also like Shang Tsung sitting on his thrown same to Shao Khan and both are confirmed to be in the game.


I'm thinking that sindel wont be in. The reason behind that theory comes from the dessert stage. I think raiden might stop the ressurection of sindel!sad


But Jade Desert stage refers to Jade and she's from Edenia. So Jade Desert is part of Edenia when corrupted by Shao Khan that's why we see the destroyed Sindel statue, where his wife Sindel was under his command and Edenia was a mess after Shao Khan's attack. It's very unlikely not to see his wife Sindel in this game.


Remember its not called jades dessert anymore, its just the dessert.

But maybe they won't take her out, maybe shes the new cyborg?wow

The game looks beautiful after watching that match with SnakeEater VS Gregg.

Gameplay looks faster paced than the E3 build. I love the pace of the game. Nice use of specials after kicks from Subzero, you could do that in MKvsDC too. I think these guys honestly played good for their first time.

So it seems that Subzero's fatality movement is Back, Up, Down, Y (for xbox / Triangle for ps3). Let's remember that for when the game comes out at least we'll know how to perform 1 fatality.

The game is beautiful, Subzero's fatality is awesome, this is the type of vids I was expecting to see... straight on, not an angle shot, and with hd so you can see the polish of the game.

I'm just wondering, what the hell are those things dangling from the upper torso? are they intestines?

Edit: love the look on snakeeaters face at the end LOL.

In this build all fatalities are done with just down and triangle. The pit 2 is down, down, down and X. It's just for this demo so people can see them.

Everyone has one fatality, although I've seen Hector do both of Kung Lao's somehow.

Eh, just cut Kitana's hair. This is the second game in a row where it's disgustingly rendered. Sektor is looking outstand though. I think for the first time I'll be playing with him and Cyrax seriously.

Also I think people are looking that statue of Sindel way too much. She died 10,000 something years ago. Of course statues of her and Jerrod will be fucked up.

I guess once Sub-Zero freezes his opponent the ice seems to enter the opponent's spine and splits it inside in the middle. so when Sub-Zero takes out his upper body we can see the spine split into half.

Look at the ice coming out from the internal opponent's body when Sub-Zero first breaks his upper body at 0:08 , and at the end of the Fatality you can see spiky ice remains on the lower attached spine on the opponent's legs. The ice penetrated his spine like a knife.

Updated with a new video via Youtube. Great quality on this one, I really like the looks of the gameplay (even if these guys aren't that great). Sub-Zero freezing himself to catch Scorpion trying to Teleport Punch looked great. They've reworked the freeze animation too, which is nice to see.


yup, awesome vid, finally. bet we are all sick of seeing sub & scorpion but guess they cannot help being so popular. poor, poor nightwolf, and others, we barely get to see much of. the sound is quite good from what we can tell in the video. i agree that the statue looks like sindel. sub's fatal is nice, too.

now if we could get a video of this quality with cyrax, kitana, & nightwolf.

I'd love to see some of the other characters too. The day is still young, and there's tomorrow as well. Personally, we've seen more than I was expecting, even though some people seem to be thinking this is a letdown. I was honestly not expecting very much, so this is sort of a surprise.

which seems a shame cuz nightwolf looked like a badass in an e3 video. he shot 3 arrows, did a shoulder charge move, summoned lightning, etc., all in one combo. also, nightwolf's xray move is awesome and probably my fave xray at the moment... though reptile's is pretty nice, too.

as for kitana, i know not many of us are fans of her current look, but we are eager to see some classic fan lift, air punch combo action, i am sure. i know people who have played say she seems rather unfinished but still would like to see a video of her doing some basic mk2 stuff. kitana was by far my favorite fighter during mk2 days.

SHHH, it's not even Jade's desert, so everything you're saying has 0 value, IT'S NOT JADE'S DESERT.

Probably because a lot of people were expecting more characters to be revealed. There's an entire thread devoted to it, even though Ed stated which characters would be at Pax already.

I was kinda hoping for gameplay of Cyrax and Kitana to be shown. I would love to see how the net operates in this one. The popularity of Sub and Scorp is certainly prevelant here! Here's hoping for the next day.

Kitana was one of my favs in MK2 as well. I would set so many people up with that fan lift. Lift, jump kick, throw fans in the air after the kick, repeat. Pretty simple, but never got old. Well, at least not for me wink

And actually Sub-Zeros fatality is NOT Back up down Y
He was telling him to "Back up" so he can get in sweep range the press "Down Y" They have one button fatalities on for PAX

there was just something so fun about those fans and air punch combos. i really miss the steel fans of mk2 cuz they were all steel; no blue in em. i could never get sick of keeping the fighter up in the air for juggles. it almost seemed like kitana was the mk2 fighter that could sorta fly. i have memories of kitana being able to get extra hits if the opponent was lifted towards a corner. you could add a hp, or lp, after the lift, kick, flying punch, fans combo. been a while, but those were the days. i never felt that mk2 domination with her in umk3 or mk5. she was better in mk vs dc, though, despite her silly hair issue in that game, and she felt more mk2, imo.

anyhoo, fingers crossed on a kitana combo video from pax but i think sub's and scorp's popularity trumps her. if people are only getting 2 mins. to play, of course they are gonna pick the 2 they are most familiar with and both sub/scorp have stun moves that novice players like.

Its not like they had alot of time to read the moves list from the game about the kitana and cyrax.

Plus i hear that some people been getting live feeds because pax is an open to public show. So just wait, some of the big guys might do a demo interview again, like gamespot did.
