I'm positive she'll have them. They wouldn't animate them for the x-ray and then not use them. :) The question will be whether or not she has them vertically downward.

I love that she has them, even if they're a "copy" of Liu Kang's. Suggests her taught her something, and also points out the fact that yes, some earth martial arts use similar moves.



I hope you are right.

Her kicks are just way too freaking awesome not to be back.

And I absolutely approve of the downward bicycle kicks she (finally) performed in MKvsDC. That idea was glorious and it had been floating around in fan-made videos since MK3. I was really impressed by it and it was one of the most fun aspects of her character in MKvsDC for me.

I'm seriously crossing fingers for this move to be included. Wouldn't make sense to cut it out considering all the main trademark specials are back.

PS: I have not forgotten about your PMs. smile


'Tis ok my dear lol. Are you aware your sigs/avatar aren't showing up btw?

Nice to be able to watch this in full and not have the buffering get in the way every other second. All of the new gameplay footage shown was stellar! Kano's fatality was brutal as hell.

I'd let her upwards bicycle kick slide,even if it makes no fucking sense,but the upwards into downwards pro-move she had in MKvsDC just looked retarded. Although if she could down the downwards bicycle from a jump,that would be cool.


Honest question: How does it even matter that "it makes no sense"? Most special moves out there "make no sense"! They are most fantastical and "impossible".

So, she has the ability to defy gravity. Big deal. She also creates and conjures fire, destructive energy orbs, energy rings, toxic mist, and has legs/tights-strength that can easily rival Chun Li's among other things.

She's special just like Liu, Cage, Jax, and the rest.

Also, IMO, the downwards bicycle kick is one of the best new things ever that they gave her, I am super excited about the possibility of the move coming back.

PS: She does use it like that (from a jump) in MKvsDC, like you just suggested.

Awesome update! Dang so much new stuff this week, I'm so excited =D!
Even tho the guy interviewing Boon kinda sucked

Baraka for me was the highlight of the whole show; he looks vicious and simple, perfect!

This was absolutely EPIC.

Probably one of the most exciting videos we've seen released so far. There's just soooooo much new information to talk about.

Sonya Blade is looking amazing. However, I'm going to die if she doesn't have her amazing trademark bicycle kicks.

So, where to start?

* Sonya's gameplay footage was awesome. Her new special move is very cool. I'm worried they might leave out her bicycle kicks though. I really love her hair animation and her fighting pose. I'm also quite impressed with her new kiss move animation and the speed of her Leg Grab. Her X-Ray is still one of the best.

* Kano spitting on the looser is superb. His specials look wicked. His X-ray is pretty cool. His fatality is glorious. The only thing I didn't like was that it reminds me soooo much of Liu's (which is actually very lame compared to most stuff we've seen).

* Noob's gameplay is great. I like his intro. His X-Ray is great.

* Ermac's special moves are FANTASTIC. They all look like very powerful and detailed attacks. I really enjoyed his gameplay.

* Jax looks fantastic. I'm very happy about his specials and about the look of his gameplay.

* Johnny Cage makes me happy.

* Baraka's new look didn't really impress me. I have to see more in much better quality to make a decision. He does look fun though. I enjoyed his combos and all those crazy Tarkatans on the Tower.

* The Tower itself is absolutely glorious. I. Can't. Wait!!!

* The arcade ladder is cool but not as great as I hoped it would be. I think that all that blackness in the background makes it feel incomplete. Other than that it looks great.

* Most of the select screen character faces are great, but, a few of them look very strange (Johnny looks ugly there, like his older original model).

*



Dont worry buddy! She will have it; trust me she will!
Her new special is fukin sweet!

Busy day today.

Personally I really liked the look of Ermac. He seems like an extremely fun character to play as, they're taking telekinesis to a whole new level this time. As for the Ice Ball problem, I highly doubt they'd make such a gross oversight. Double Ice Backfire may just not be implemented in that build.


It didn't backfire in the build at the MK Truck, either.
And you can also fire them off while a Clone is in play grin
Finally... confirmation... NO RAIN!!! Thank god

Even if the backfire isn't it, like some have said here this solution makes a lot more sense. A minor damage and ice break. The move cannot be spammed repeatedly, just twice with the second one doing minor damage. I think I'll like that a lot more.

Man. The past few days, all this stuff. It's hard to process the sheer magnitude.

-Kano and Noob's between-round animations
-Kano's X-ray and fatality
-Baraka
-The Rooftop progressively transforming from day to night
-Leaked renders of Jade, Ermac and Goro
-Goro's Lair render
-The godliness that is the Challenge Tower - upside down kombat, dark kombat, headless, armless kombat, dreamy kombat, zombie and tarkatan shooting, throwing grenades into cups, test your might/strike/sight/luck, teddy bears and the hatred thereof
-Complete movelists for Mileena, Cage, Sub, Scorpion, Sonya
-Rain being confirmed as later DLC

To think, last month everyone was starving for info. I'm overloading.


Going to go to bed now. Oh, man.

Lol, I know. My birthday cake yesterday was almost as big as that. Ed Boon's cake trumps mine because of the Mileena design. I'm already stuffed just thinking about it eating that.

I personally liked how Subby would freeze himself if he attempted to freeze an already frozen opponent with his ice move. That was awesome.

I'm surprised to read many don't like it as much. I thought it was cool.
Gamespot fails so hard. All those technical botches made me lol

Yes! Baraka is back to looking like a feral badass, and not some samurai goof. The combat looks great, and I'm stoked they are jamming the game with so much content.

Thanks queve. Couldn't ask for a better week to age one year at the same time we see MK flourishing again. I'm sure Ed Boon feels the same for the year 2011 lol

I hate it when mods close threads that already had like 20 pages. Anyways I like ermac stance. It reminds of fujin fighting stance in MKA.
I liked when jax was beating kano ass then he made a komeback and did his fatality! Btw that fatality was fucking sick

Oh man, so much stuff to process

I'm gonna assume Stuntman and Gray Cyrax (Gryrax?) are generic versions of Cage and Cyrax like all the Tarkatan's in Challenge Tower, and not a new character or Cyborg Smoke respectively, I'll expect generic versions of Klassik Kostume Male and Female ninja's, Raptors, Shokan's, Cyborgs, Monks, etc. to appear in challenge tower aswell

only dissapointing thing is No Rain I call balderdash, BUT he's totally going to be DLC, DLC I will buy the shit out of



Anyone else think that "Stunt Man" will be a hidden playable character? I have a feeling he might be the new MOKAP
