Some new information from russian magazine editor *SPOILERS*.

- Characters apparently have different winposes in the Challenge Tower.

Really? That's kinda weird to just have different ones in the Challenge Tower for no reason. But this might mean that we'll be able to unlock different win poses, as well as different battle intros in the Krypt, though I highly doubt that...

- All characters are open by default, except for CSZ and Quan Chi.

That sucks, since not having to unlock them takes away some of the replayability away from the game...

- Only Fatality accesible in the training mode.

Nice, they're really making you think on how to unlock those hidden moves.

I'm not sure I understood her second fatality though...

It seems like Sheeva rips the victim's arms out of their sockets and then applauds herself with them, which is AWESOME.
 
He(Smoke) sounds like hes going to be a speedemon with many tricks up his sleeves, it must be the hair lol

The mysterious ninja you call "Smoke" will never outclass my speed or steath ablilities, allthough I, Reptile am quite pleased to see he now has the abilility to hide that shame he calls hair. Hmph, you humans and your "hair".. it serves no purpose except to proceed to make you humans look even more weak, vile and foolish. Mhmmm, except perhaps the one called "Jade" I find her quite..interesting, and look forward to seeing this thing you humans call a "pole dance". It is a shame I will never see it though, for I will never be beaten.

lol Reptile stands no chance against Sub-Zero
 
Aren't they referring to these kind of things:

In that case, I don't see those win poses being unlockable. They just seem like some fast poses so you can move onto the next one quickly.

OH SHI-
 
Sub-Zero is a cyromancer lol

Human?..Cyromancer?..You'll all be dead acidic meat slowly digesting in one of my saurian stomaches soon, it matters not. Your not a cyromancer your nothing but a mere snack.

since there will be a cyber-reptile in the challenge tower...do you guys think it will also be his alternate costume?

I hope so!! ...but I don't think so. ;[ Alts don't usually deviate far from the original kharacter IMO. Im hoping for a unlockable costume for it, I agree it sounds very kool but no, I definitly don't think it will be a alt.

Haha, that is pretty awesome. Can't wait to see it in-game.

But hey, in that case, I'm still amazed by the fact they put in EXCLUSIVE characters/fighters specifically in the CHALLENGE TOWER. At least for all of the reptile fans, they can just go back and forth playing that specific match in the tower showing exclusive characters, respectively, cyber-reptile. I give this specific aspect in Mortal Kombat a two thumbs up! word to siskel and ebert. =-)
 
Since that's Cyrax's armor Reptile is stealing, I doubt it's going to be an alternate costume...

Why not ? Since the Krypt is supposed to have lots of content, that's highly possible... There can't be only costumes and fatalities to unlock, that wouldn't be enough.
That's a good guess, actually. Alternate winning poses to unlock, and maybe entry scenes too ! They probably considerd that.

"..alternate winning poses to unlock, and maybe entry scenes too.."

I agree the krypt is a big place...thats why I bet "Armored Reptile" will be a unlockable costume. I do love the idea of alternate winning poses and entry scenes! Entry scenes more then the win poses because I can clearly forsee that the 50th time you play as a kharacter and seeing the same entry will become...tedious. (Espically when you have 3-4 friends who come over and all pick their favorite kharacters over and over again when were drinkin beers and havin a Mortal Kombat Tournament!)

Lets all agree that we hope that most of the 500+ koffins in the krypt arnt full of the dreaded......
Spoiler:
koncept art. x_X
 
Liking the descriptions of Sheeva that they gave. Grappler Sheeva here I come!

Thanks for the info, good sir.

Shiii- I actually didn't think about that.
Dude, I really hope that's not what's coming for us. I mean, I really like this type of content as I've always been interested in the whole behind the scenes stuff regarding games, but it shouldn't represent more than, let's say, 30% of the unlockable content.
Though I think it would be really cool if they had a few behind the scenes vids in store for us, kinda like what Naughty Dog did with Uncharted. These were really interesting.

We could still try to guess what kind of unlockables we they could have REALISTICALLY put in there, though.

- Costumes
- Fatalities

that's more or less confirmed.
Now what could they have added beside that ?

- More winning poses ?
- More entry scenes ?
- Taunts ?
- Alternative X-Rays ?
- Babalities / Friendships ?
- Old BGMs ?
- Alternative animated background pics for the main menu ?
- Some kind of mini games ?
- Avatar clothing (X360) ?

... I can't really think of anything else. Any ideas ?
 
Im wondering why no one talks about Shao Khan and Kintaro. I mean ...when Shao Khan has two fatalitys....he is playable or not??? And Kintaro too? Im confused :D
 
Who knows as far as The Krypts contents go. Im really diggin the single kurrency, instead of havin to get so many red or green, I hated that. High prices are fine, ups replayability. There was ALOT of great info there. Im really interested in seein Kahns fatalities & xray. The Kintaro & Sheeva info was great. Speaking of Sheeva, I dont trust other peoples OPINIONS on whether a certain character is good or not. Im kinda disappointed that the story mode is only 5-6 matches long for each character, but that is alotta characters. Kant freakin wait!
 
2 rounds per story mode matches. so every 5 matches you'll have 10 rounds and every 6 matches you'll have 12 rounds. Theoretically, if we are required to play all 25 starting characters (excluding quan chi and cyber sub-zero in story mode), Then that gives us about A WHOPPING APPROXIMATE TOTAL OF 300 CRAAAAAAAAAAZY, NECKBRAKING, AWWW JAWING, INTENSE MATCHES!!!!!!!!!!!
