Ok, lemme preface this by saying I LOVE MK9 (it's brilliant, imho) and I am in no way complaining about this because it makes my Kabal uneffective. I am VERY good with Kabal (and other characters as well) as is and don't think this needs to change. However, Kabal received BY FAR the worst amount...
First off, the stages are beautiful. Nether Realm covered all the bases on this front except one: Snow. I'd love to see a beautiful stage in the snow with actual snow falling (progressively more snow the longer the match). They have fire (Hell, great stage), sand (Desert, another great stage)...
Would love to spar any other good players and good competition to get better. I'm pretty awesome if I say so myself lol I've sparred with DCP yesterday, he was having trouble wit some Johnny changes in the retail version from demo so I beat him pretty easily 7 games to 1 but I know he'll be...
Holy shitballs!!!!
I have been playing these six characters for the last few hours and OMG. They are remarkable. Smoke has SOOOOOOO many badass moves. Scorpion is like Ken/Ryu in SFIV (So easy to learn, so hard to master), Kabal is SICK once you get his combos. Jade is INSANE and Sonya is fast...
Let me preface this by saying the Human form of Cyrax is incredibly badass. I will use him regularly in that form. (I take it you've all seen the BADASS pictures of Human Cyrax, Human Sektor, and Sheeva's 3rd Fatality!)
However, I have absolutely no idea how the human versions of these two will...
I'm not a huge fan of the young Shang Tsung. The older version has will always be the "true" version of the character. And to see him morph after the badass intro into the Old Shang is truly awesome.
I can't wait to see the alternate costumes for all the characters. Like Noob, Smoke, Liu Kang...
This footage is absolutely phenomenal. Noob looks extraordinary. THIS GAME WILL BE BRILLIANT!

PS. ERMAC GAMEPLAY IN THIS VIDEO AS WELL!!!
Does anyone know? If so, I will definitely buy it.
This is about to be the most badass crossover the gaming world has ever seen. Jesus H. Christ, MK+KRATOS=UTTER BRILLIANCE.
I'm pretty certain that was a reveal in the bonus video. NO ONE. And I mean, NO ONE has mentioned this before. Not that I've seen. I've thought it since last week when I first played the demo on the 8th. It's like they show DL5 in the Krypt opening up then they reveal Kratos, I'm certain that...
Check in at the 4:54 mark to witness the utter awesomeness. THIS. GAME. WILL. BE. A. MASTERPIECE. I cannot wait!!! Tell me what you think...

This is my ONLY minor complaint with an otherwise "flawless" (pun-intended) sneak peak into what's sure to be the most talked about, played, analyzed, bad ass video game in years. But seriously, what is the gameplay purpose of fighting stances. And or changing them? I honestly want to know why...
Has anyone noticed that Arena's with a "red skull" denotes a stage fatality...
At the Arena select screen (vs. mode Only), Arena's in which a stage fatality can be performed have a "red skull" on them. I didn't know if anyone has pointed this out here yet but it's there.
Nice touch. I wonder...
When you do her dash bite she lunges on the opponent but instead of biting them she takes the sai out of their back and stabs then ferociously.
THAT. IS. AWESOME.
If every character has those kind of subtle little gameplay touches then that is remarkable. This is game is gonna be EPIC.
First things first, the game is AWESOME. The feeling of ABSOLUTE NOSTALGIA you will get right after the announcer says fight is worthy of the 60 dollar price tag alone. This is MORTAL KOMBAT 2 ON STEROIDS my friend. The graphics are INSANE. I love that they went the realistic route instead of...
