Since the other thread was closed, I will post my reply here:

I 100% agree with this and with the other big amount of users complaining about this situation.

I'm grateful for the amazing material that the MK team has been delivering to their fans and I have nothing against Scorpion or Sub-Zero (I happen to like both even if I'm not their biggest fan).

HOWEVER, I'm super sick of the boring predictable ninjas being shoved down our throats...(yeah, add a huge boring *YAWN* goes for Sub-Zero as well).

Very. Boring.

I'm sorry but there have been 11 characters revealed (not even counting the obvious ones) and we have gotten very little to absolutely nothing on them.

Very. Annoying.

I really liked how MKvsDC was faaaar more balanced and fair when showing you material related to all its characters, but even so, it wasn't really by much because of the DC world (sadly, half of the characters getting the spotlight were also from DC, so, the exposure that could had been given to extra MK characters was actually shared with the super heroes).

MKvsDC had Scorpion, Sub-Zero and Sonya as their main market promotional characters featuring them in almost everything (videos, kasts, pictures, game shows, tons of interviews, extra media, etc), it was awesome, but even though they overexposed these 3 characters, you still got a fair amount of stuff featuring the other MK and DC characters.

This game should try to imitate the marketing of MKvsDC in that aspect, which was the biggest and most important one in MK's history.

So far, we've only gotten awesome stuff that keeps featuring the same old boring Scorpion and Sub-Zero. Enough already. We truly do appreciate the amazing material, but there are obviously hundreds of fans rooting for the other characters just as much or even more.

Big. YAWN.

Please, MK Team, give the fans similar brilliant videos and pictures of the rest of the characters to enjoy, please. I know there are still 6 months left but at this rate they are going I feel that they really won't show much of this cool stuff for the other characters that we already know will be in the game.

It almost feels like we should expect 30 more Scorpion and Sub-Zero videos and probably 1 or two featuring another iconic one and a lucky cow.

That. Sucks....Period

LOL@ my scorpion thread being closed. i guess i'm supposed to just sit back and not voice my opinion when i'm a buyer of this product and therefore i have a right to an opinion regarding it.

and since i doubt they will close this thread i will reiterate what i said. actually, queve just summed up everything. thank you :)

Is the background music from the trailer a modification of the living forest music?

If you listen to it carefully, you can just make out the tune!

It came to my conclusion that Scorpion isn't meant to do combos in that game...
Just be like all the Scorpion players online and do nothing but Teleport Punch spam, Leg Scissors spam, and that one-two kick combo starter he does.

If you can't land these on an unskilled opponent, then something is wrong.

>_>

Meh... I'm not really much for spamming one move.. never have been. And I find MKvsDC's button reaction time so bad that I actually DO have difficulty doing the one-two kick combo lead in for the spear as I always seem to hit forward (as I'm trying to get closer to my opp to hit them) and instead doing a different combo (I think that was the issue anyway I haven't played it in a LONG time, playing old school MK1-UMK3 instead)... could be wrong.. ::shrugs:: I dunno there was some issue with doing combos while trying to move forward and the really bad button reaction timing in that game that made the combos/pro-moves weird to pull off on the fly especially if you try picking the game up after playing other games for awhile you really notice how OFF it was. The fatalities where the most horrendous by far... I've NEVER had that much difficulty doing fatalities. The buttons just did not respond and the zoning for it was WAY to finicky. I really hope they go back to allowing you to perform fatalities anywhere on screen or at the very least don't be so friggin' anal with having to be in an EXACT spot.

MKvsDC does have shitty button registering.
And because of that, it's why I'm not hyped for Mortal Kombat.
Never in a fighting game that I had to spam button combinations to make a move work until that came around!

Now i'm a scorpion fan and i think that all this hate realy isn't needed.Guys i know they need to move on to another character or two,but when they do i want them to finally show off Rayden or someone worthwhile in action.I'd Definetly take two Sub-Zero video's in a row if we got to see everyone's favorite thunder god finally in action,especially over mileena and reptile who i'm no fan of(especially after reptiles MKDA apperance and i just plain don't like mileena)and i'd take three sub videos in a row if they show Rayden in gameplay and reveal Liu Kang in gameplay as well.And i realy think this thread should be closed for the fact tat every post is the same"i'm sick of scorp and sub video's"followed by the occasional "i have no problem with the vids".Now guys let's just be pantient and wait,we still have some time to go until the game comes out.I'm totally going to get flamed right nowsad.

I couldn't even imagine trying to play that game on the XBOX360's AWFUL controller... lol. I have a PS3 and the controls where non-responsive. The thing I liked best about the controls was being able to hit a diagonal on the d-pad and it treated it as doing a quarter circle from down-forward or down-back. That really helped alot of my less experienced friends and my wife playing the game. I hope they keep that. I liked the pro-moves and thought that was a step in the right direction but it just had issues due to non-responsiveness and weird timing. Maybe it's just me though 'cause I didn't seem to hear alot of the elite players having issues with this so maybe I just really really suck compared to everyone else in the world except for my friends apparently.. lol. My friends always complain that I am way to good and I'm like you should see the people that play online, I can't touch them, lol. My favorite feature was the parry specials that could be used mid-combo (Sub-Zero Ice Parry, Kano's Parry, Joker's HandBuzzer) and I hope they bring that back with more of the character's having a move like that. I was hoping for Scorpion to have one (as a modification of his "Inner Flame" special from DC) but alas he has the leg takedown instead...
As for almost everything else in MKvsDC (like the combo's being NOTHING but juggles).. meh.

seriously, though, if you're having trouble hearing the video you may not have the proper codecs installed. nowadays, movies come in all types of "flavors". i would recommend going to download.com and getting the k-lite codec pack. hope this helps.

It's not even the 360's D-Pad's fault this time.
I play all Fighting games with the thumbstick, never had a problem until I played MKvsDCU. The weird part is that using the thumbstick for that game is so bad that I can only play with the D-Pad, and even then it's still bad.

It's definitely the MK Team's fault on that one.
