Rousey’s promo and mic work in WWE is terrible, the clip they use in that story trailer doesn’t sound any better
if you’re gonna cast a wrestler to do MK voices, then they should’ve got The Miz for Johnny Cage, his in-ring persona is almost exactly the same
I guess Shang Tsung is the first DLC character, voiced by the dude who played him in the movie.
One of the reasons I love Mortal Kombat games is how throwaway joke characters somehow become integral parts of the series lore.
What deep-cut character should come back in this game and be vital to the plot? Frost? Raiko? Meat? Mokap?
Maybe make him the mokujin-like (random character moveset) or dural-like (moveset is an amalgamation of the cast.) To beat the final boss, everyone turns to a man who can copy everyone’s moves.
I dunno how popular the Virtua Fighter series actually got, but “Dural-like” feels like a deep cut to me and I love it.
is mokap supposed to be the dan version of stryker?
also have they announced stryker for this yet? hopefully OG MK3-style stryker.
We need to come to a joint consensus on whether to keep relaying this game’s PR machine here on in the fightman general sooner or later.
Somehow disturbing just how young Young Jax looks.
Hearing Ice Cube in a Mortal Kombat trailer is just the world we live in now.

The beta for this is up and it’s pretty alright.
Kinda wish there was a faster way to see/swap out moves from custom builds? Even just a quick little animation with damage info, or something!
They’ve swapped the usual end poses and such with Injustice 2 style super slow-mo cinematic poses. It’s OK, I guess? A lot of MKX’s fatalities ended with a bunch of weird gobs of flesh wiggling like Jell-O around a vivisected corpse, so these are at least more thought out.
That’s a lot to say that I haven’t figured out all the changes to the combat just yet. Looks like they went back on the initial reveal of having EX moves performed with individual, bespoke button combinations in favor of tapping R1 to enhance moves, which, yeah! Good!
They’ve also changed the way characters and combos feel a pretty good deal, though. Maybe there’s a way to change it, but having Scorpion immediately follow his spear throw with throwing his enemy behind them and slashing them in the back is kinda jarring? I’m used to the usual stun effect that has, so I guess it’ll definitely feel different from MK9 and X.
