Mortal Kombat 11 General Discussion Media Thread

[MKLegion]

I am a pretty good MKX online player and the main thing there are the long combos. So will MK11 be more about mix-ups that allow to start a new combo right after the last ends? This is somehow more difficult for me to find out rather than combining attacks.

As I haven't played it I can't give a definitive answer, but based on footage and dev statements it seems that in place of long combos, there will be a heavy emphasis of short combos that can be further pressured through good spacing, mix ups, and footsie game. There are really trying to cut down on the 50/50 emphasis that X had. Trap and set up characters seemed to be doing good in this environment as well.

- JAD e
- KOT al Kahn

There we go, that's what I'm talking about. Doesn't look good for Reptile though. Oh well.
[MENTION=16568]Misucra[/MENTION] is probably going to do backflips when he reads this.

The hell are TER, CET, SON and KOL though? New characters? Terminator?....
Edit: derp SON is Sonya.

So, it seems the Steamdb Trophy page has been updated:

https://steamdb.info/app/976310/stats/

- JAD e
- KUN g Lao or KUNg Jin (my bet is Kung Lao)
- CAS sie (officially)
- FRO st
- KOT al Kahn
- JAC qui (YAY!)
- LIU (officially)

The only ones that are stumping me are CET, KOL and TER, unless those are somehow new characters or I'm just having a brain-fart.
[MENTION=16568]Misucra[/MENTION], possible chance of Frost.


EDIT:

Also interesting "PERFORM_MERCY_10_TIMES"

Possible return of Animalities?

This making me so sad. Very bad list of characters

 

[ramichaura]

Why on earth would they bring back Jacqui instead of an actual interesting character with interesting powers not just another soldier. Sometimes i question Nrs decisions.

 

[MKLegion]

Jeez, out of all the ways for there to be a leak huh, welp if this is legit (they've done troll code strings in the past), I can't say I'm unhappy with it, mah girl Frost possibly coming back makes the roster for me, keep in mind this list is also currently incomplete (surprised theres no Shang). Another important point here is these Krypt Acheivements points to the new Krypt being very interesting this time, possibly a shaolin monks style beat-em up?

And possibly three new characters, can't say its a full spoiler on that one since we know nothing of them besides like the first three letters of there name.

This game is going to be more about resource management. Saving your Krushing and Fatal Blows for the perfect moments. Combos on their own aren't going to be doing the insane damage of MKX, most round out at about 25-30% from using 1 or 2 bars. Resets and restands are going to be very valuable in this game. You can see that with Sonya, how Sonicfox would always end his combos with that grab so he can keep them standing, and avoid their invincible wakeup attacks so he can continue his pressure and trying to open them back up. I suspect you'll be seeing characters with re-stands being very popular. Moves like Scorpion's flame aura, or Kabal's gas blast are going to keep them constantly on the offense.

But it can easily cancel into the fatal blow which then you have no options to do anything

But you have so many defensive options in neutral that getting hit should be punished. Honestly, I don't even like the idea of an aerial combo breaker. I think it's too good, unless it has recovery frames when they're getting up off the ground.

 

[ramichaura]

Is this list legit or anyone can edit it?

 

[BBBLP]

If they're saving Noob Saibot for dlc, maaaaan that is going to be a bad look on them. He was heavily requested for MKX's dlc.

The Steam Achievements are done in house by the developer.
I haven't heard of anyone hacking the Steam Achievements page for a developer, but I guess anything is possible.

As with everything, take it with a grain of salt, but it's just what I had seen that was updated.
Ever since I first saw "ERR" on there I decided to bookmark the page in case it got updated.

Also, note: not all characters are divulged yet and there would still be about 5 roster spaces left, if we consider that Shao Kahn gets the MKX Goro / extra space treatment.

 

[MKLegion]

If this leak is legit, then I could see this being the Kombat Pack

1.) Mileena

2.) Noob

3.) Fujin or Shang (if one doesn't make the roster)

4.) Takeda

5.) Guest

6.) Guest

 

[Guyver Spawn]

CET, KOL and TER, could be cover up names for other characters that don't want them to be leaked. I feel like Johnny Cage, Shang Tsung and Rain is like 90% given to be on the main roster at this point.

 

[Kitty_55]

I always take these things with a grain of salt, but if FRO is seriously "Frost" I am going to be screaming my goddamn head off like I did when I first saw this game's reveal at the Game Awards.

Just need Noob and Shang and I'll be completely set with loving this over Mortal Kombat 2.

 

[BBBLP]

"NRS holding fan favorites hostage via dlc"

I can already see the dozens of articles lol

 

[ramichaura]

With this leak it makes it 24 characters that mean no Fujin, Noob saibot, Reptile, Ermac, Shang tsung, Reiko, Rain, Smoke, Cyrax and Sektor. This is absolutely the worst mk roster ever made. It is a disgrace roster

Makes no sense, why would they want any character leaked? They would all have codenames if that were the case

 

[FrancisManancis]

That roster is pretty boring on paper. But the way theyve revamped everyone so far I'm sure to eat those words. On paper MKX had a nice roster but turned out flaccid at best. Noob fans gone wont be happy lol oh man.

 

[MKLegion]

Honestly I expected Noob to be DLC, he just didn't seem to fit with the way the launch roster was turning out imo,

Also just want to say that while we are all allowed to have our own opinions of the roster. I think one we should probably accept is that when it comes to any fighting game, no roster will ever make everyone happy, I am personally happy with most of the roster but I know many others won't be. Whatever happens lets just try to find the silver linings.

 

[FrancisManancis]

And no Reptile wow. And who the asked for Frost??

How do you figure that?

1. Sub-Zero
2. Scorpion
3. Raiden
4. Sonya
5. Johnny Cage (semi-konfirmed)
6. Kano
7. Liu Kang
8. Kitana (not yet konfirmed playable but likely)
9. Baraka
10. Kabal
11. Kung Lao (or Jin)
12. D'Vorah
13. Cassie
14. Geras
15. Skarlet
16. Erron Black (Steam db)
17. Jade (Steam db)
18. Frost (Steam db)
19. Kotal Kahn (Steam db)
20. Jacqui (Steam db)
21.???
22.???
23.???
24.???
25.???

26. Shao Kahn (bonus DLC)

TER, CET and KOL could also be part of the Kombat pack.
TERminator? maybe? For example.

IIRC, MKX also had DLC character Achievements / Trophies added.

I mean Im supporting the game regardless. I've been playing MK for 22 years damn near (I'm 24 lol) MK is apart of my life. If I dont play it I'll malnourish myself. But it's weird. Noob and Fujin were by far the most requested since MKX. And theyll play possible back roles to the main roster. Behind Frost and Jacqui (who I have no problems with but really.)
