German Gamepro article rough info guide

What, you can't read or something?
I prefer characters that are different in everything - story/movesets/appearances to Ryu/Kens/pallete swaps.

Reptile/Noob, Sektor/Cyrax, Mileena, Kenshi, Goro, Baraka - all will be much better for me than Cassie IF Johhny & Sonya are in the game.

I don't seem to recall Cassie having an exact carbon copy of her parents' movesets in their entirety, outside the exceptions we already know about.

I also don't recall you ripping Namco for doing the exact same thing with the Tekken roster in every damn game! As far as I'm concerned, either ALL of it is okay, or NONE of it is okay.

Looks like Kano borrowed mechanical heart from Hsu Hao. Did he borrowed some moves as well (my hope for thunderclap here)?

How so?
Cassie seems to only have Johnny's X-Ray and Sonya's Kiss move.

Plus, with 3 variations Johnny and Sonya can be totally different.
 
The part about Sonya/Cage sounds to me more that there will be different versions in terms of age like Sonya 5 years after MK9, 15 years, 25 years... rather than directly implying that they will have playable versions as single Characters but i could see both be playable as reskined version of Cassie in story mode.

I don't think so. She seems to have very few moves that are directly copied from Johnny & Sonya, her moves seem more like things Johnny or Sonya may do, but have never actually had before. Like she doesn't have Sonya's ring toss, leg grab, square wave punch, the inverted bicycle kick, Johnny's green slime ball, his back flip uppercut. I am sure with the 3 variations, they can separate their moves/abilities and maybe even add new ones, to have them all play differently and with different tools/moves. To be honest, I will be pretty disappointed if they are not playable in MKX, they were the 2 main survivors of MK9, they definitely deserve spots on the roster in my opinion.
 
I don't mind if Johnny, Sonya and Cassie are all playable. The first two are two of my favorites and I'll probably like Cassie. Seems like the German Magazine is reliable to a certain degree. I'm kind of bummed that they are spilling the beans about Liu Kang though. Him coming back should be a huge surprise. I'd still like to see Cyrax, Sektor, Ermac, Reptile and Goro come back though. Seems like a thin chance now.

Liu Kang is one of the Big Four of Mortal Kombat. The other 3 have already been konfirmed for MKX.

Cassie has only the nut punch that is taken from Johnny. Everything else is her own moves.

I'm copying someone who managed to take the time to analyze her moves:

"- Shoot guns like Stryker (including an air version Stryker never had)

- Swing an extendable police baton (similar to Stryker's billyclub, but in an Uppercut arc as opposed to his trip and throw)

- She has an Air Shadow Kick or two, which behave nothing like Johnny's Shadow moves. They attack in different directions, like straight up instead of sliding forward or going diagonal.

- Can call down missiles from the sky.

- Sprays fire with an aerosol can and lighter. This may look similar to Sonya's Kiss, but is NOT the same.

I believe she has an MMA tackle and/or an air throw version of the same, and cartwheel...which are moves Sonya did in MK9, but none of those are things Sonya "owns" in the iconic sense, they're all generic.. "Sonya's moves" are the Pink Rings, Leg Grab, Square Wave/Arcing Air Kick, Diagonal Bike Kick, and Kiss-dust. "

Which is exactly why he deserved a better reveal than some sketchy magazine saying "Oh yeah, he's in."

I'm sure he'll get a real reveal but this kind of ruins the surprise.

Being a Big Four character means he's virtually guaranteed to be in anyway, so why would the grandeur of the reveal matter?

I personally think that characters we knew were going to be in don't need to have a grand reveal. It's like saying, "Mario has been confirmed foR THE NEW MARIO KART GAME!!1!"
 
lol are we really to the point where instead of being happy a major fan favorite character is in the game, we are upset that his reveal wasnt cool enough?

Im NOT to thrilled about this. I mean having Sonya & Johnny in the story, sure I can live with that, but taking up 2 PLAYABLE roster slots seems like a waste. Could definitely use those 2 spots for other returning characters or newer characters!

just my Opinion

I don't care as long as they play differently.

Cause he died...
Also, stop saying "big four". This isn't the US Thrash Metal scene. Besides, German big 3 > American big 4.

The American Big 4 were the inventors. The German Big 3 were buying American Big 4 records before they were even formed. Where would the German Big 3 if it weren't for the American Big 4?

I did actually.

Kill 'em All was the first Thrash album...released in 1983 by Metallica, the band that invented Thrash.

While Kill 'em All was being recorded, Dave Mustaine, who had been canned by Metallica shortly before recording started, formed Megadeth.

Kill 'em All was followed up by Show No Mercy and Fistfull of Metal, the respective debut albums of Slayer and Anthrax, in late 83 and early 84 respectively.

The German Big 3 didn't debut until the American Big 4 were already on major labels.

Wrong. Sodom and Metallica both released their first demos in 1982. Kreator the following year as Tormentor. Not to mention how unlikely it is that Sodom or Kreator even heard Metallica around 1982 or 83. The fact that the German big 3 sound nothing like any of the American big 4 should have tipped you off from the beginning. You're just some old metal guy who thinks he knows everything, but doesn't know shit.
