March 19th Kombat Kast Stream Thread

So, I figured I would put my two cents out on the stream, despite that I was getting really frustrated with it because I was watching it on the go and it kept freezing or the quality was poor. But from what I could see, I thoroughly enjoyed it, despite that I am getting a bit annoyed with our hosts making sneer little remarks about being quiet during the intros. I personally don't mind whether or not they talk through them, it's how they're reacting when the fans really want to hear this stuff. But I'm not going to make a big fuss about something that really doesn't irk me that badly.

Mileena, Mileena, Mileena oh how they perfected you. I really LOVE what they did to her. Throughout the video, I was contemplating whether or not if I like the new face... But after remembering how I really didn't like her face in 2011, this is a huge improvement. I mean that Tarkatan mouth of hers in the last game was just horrendously silly. I love how she's not over sexualizing herself either. The rubbing is still there but it's not like how much it was before. I have to try herself out myself before deciding what variation I want to try, but I think Ethereal could be one that I'm more interested in all because I like teleporting.

Her fatality, while not as gruesome as others, it's still awesome and the end result just looks gritty.

Tekeda, the video was chopping up throughout most of his gameplay so I don't really have THAT much to say other than what I did managed to see. First of all, I have a feeling that he might be someone that will be appearing a lot online, just because of his long attacks. Despite that they have a slow release (I think that's what they said), it's still gonna hit your opponent. I like that he's got a completely different variation from the whips. I couldn't hear what they were saying about how he's got an ability not that shown much in Mortal Kombat. But what makes me like this variation a lot, is that it reminds me heavily of Hotaru.... And I'm a huge Hotaru fan.

That fatality of his was messed up though. Nuff' said.

Kung Jin, man does he give me the Nightwolf vibe. I love archers. I played Dungeons and Dragons with my boyfriend and a few friends and my Bard had a bow and I loved always making her use it in battle if it was needed. I like the Hunter class in World of Warcraft as a second class to enjoy (first is my priest). What I definitely love about this character is that he has the ability to use different arrows. The second part I love about this character is that he can use his bow as a staff. So if anyone is upset about not having like a character wielding a staff, maybe he could be your staff wielder.

He fatality, well, we've seen it before and I thought it was cool, glad that they didn't show his other one.


Test Your Luck, every now and then I hold a video game party, and this would definitely be something to play with all my friends. I freaking loved this mode before and after what we've seen, I'm going to love it again. I love the different colored bubbles and bombs, don't know why... The video was also freaking out when they were giving themselves modifiers so I didn't get what that part was, if anyone is nice enough to explain that for me, you're a great pal!

Lastly, Quitality... Thank you.
 
Man Smoke was my guy in the last game but if he doesn't make the cut then I'm really liking Takeda!
Also, this might be old news but they changed Kung Laos hat back from that spikey blade thing to a straight edge razor! Game looks great so far!

I think that's a variation, honestly.
 
I thought everything they showed looked great. Millena, Takeda, and Kung Jin all looked fantastic.

Only disappointment is the new ality. Completely lame.
 
Does anyone else find it bizarre that everyone in-game pronounces Takeda's name as Takeeda (Sub-Zero, announcer), and most of the developers call him Takeyda, which is a lot closer to the correct pronunciation?

It's like they didn't actually come to an agreement before they recorded all the voice overs for the game. So strange.
 
The remaining 7 are obviously shinnok, sonya, jax, jacqui, liu kang and erron black. If you're expecting anything more you will be disappointed.

True, however, unlockable (bosses) are never among the main roster slots. There is still a chance for Liu to be boss, so another regular character could be in.

Yeah even I noticed that. Weird. Should have googled the pronunciation if they were THAT unsure XD

The voice actor director was asleep at the wheel.
Also it seems Jin is voiced by Johnny Young Bosch
 
Kenshi instead of Goro for sure.

One small thing: Takeda's voice and attempt at humour is a bit lame, we already have Cassie & Johnny for that. Kung Jin, Takeda, Kung Lao all sound way too american as well, but that's always been a problem with NRS. The look and sound of asians is still a very hard thing to do apparently.

By the way, using fan art is kind of a great thing for NRS to do. They said some skins inspired by fan art made the game!! Cold war scorpion is partly fan made.
 
This was the best stream yet. All these characters look awesome, but Takeda really stole the show, his ganeplay is awesome! Definitely want to try him out.

Also, finally some good Kitana gameplay. I'm loving her combos.

And Tyler was talking in the beginning about the collective or something like that, about fan art being made into real costumes in the game. Maybe we will actually get scarecrow Ermac :dancing2:
 
English speakers are incapable of pronouncing an "a" correctly.

The true sound of that letter doesn't really exist in your language.

You can also unlock and view some of the fanart in the game. That's pretty neat.

I would say "e" in "Takeda" is totally wrongly pronounced. Most say closer to Takida than Takeda, it's weird. Heh, silly Americans.
