Kitana's hair in MK9!

[MileenaK]

I wonder if like when reptile does his fatality on characters like mileena and kitana with the mask on, he will take off the veil to spit acid in their mouths or will they remain on..

About Kitana's hair, I think it's possible that the character vignette is an early version of the game. We've already seen in recent Mkasts that they fixed a lot Kitana's hair

 

[Craig Dobson]

which one?

 

[noobsmoke1]

The hair issue is just one of the things mentioned in my 'MK'ers Most Wanted Wishlist' thread. I've asked it for it to be sticky.

Anyways what it says is Tomb Raider has a ponytail that moves around freely and flocks of hair even fall out. Now Tomb Raider's hair dynamics were done this way back in the 90's.

The masks remain on as of now. There was a video of him doing the fatality on Sub-Zero and he just spits acid through the mask.

I don't get what the big deal is about Kitana's hair. If they fix it, great, if they don't, it's just hair. I mean, I think she looks gorgeous either way and if it bothers you that much, use your imagination and pretend in this timeline she has her mom's crazy hair abilities.

Homegirl needs to put that weave in a bun.

You're too funny!

You mean to tell me that these are all custom models, but just happen to have the same exact leg shape, length, and boots on?

I can see differences between these legs. Kitana's and Sonya's legs are thinner than Mileena's. Mileena's feet are smaller than the others.

Unreal doesn't do hair perfect, so for females you'll see things like pony tails, etc. It's getting better but don't expect free flowing hair anytime soon.

As far as "All characters are using the same body model with different clothing on" This is very much not the case here, everyone has custom models in the game, even more detailed than in MKvsDC.

The effects and things this game does is far and above what the limited graphics of what UMK3 was, very much not a half assed approach. Sure it's not a PERFECT game, no games are. If any game was perfect, you'd never need a sequel. This is in my opinion the best game since UMK3. It is also by far the best game using a 3D engine. They only continue to get better each time around.

But I guess haters gotta complain and nit-pick about something.

Well said, Patrick!

^owned.

But yeah, MK hair has pretty much always sucked. The best hair in a fighting game that I have personally seen, is Dead or Alive 4. There could be a better game out there, but this is just what I have seen myself. It's not perfect, but it does perform like real hair and look better than MK9's.

Hm, I still think Lili's hair in Tekken 6 is better. Of course, not perfect, but better. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=go2fVeNvyaA after 1:44. Specially at 4:11. Not counting the costumized hair styles.

About Kitana's hair, I think it's possible that the character vignette is an early version of the game. We've already seen in recent Mkasts that they fixed a lot Kitana's hair

That's what I thought, too. After the secod part of MKast #2, it seemed Kitana's hair was flowing a bit better, but in Mileena's vignette, it's moving just like in the PAX build, it looks like she has a piece of wood stuck on her head

I actually don't know why, since MKDA, Kitana only have extra long hair. Is it because they wanna show she's Sindel's daughter? Still doesn't make sense. I think she should have her MK2 hair. But I'm not gonna freak out with her hair the way it is now.

And it never will...mk has been a luaghin stock to the gaming world for a long time....And it seems this will be another half assed mk installment....

I have said it time and time again...we have seen NOTHING of what ed an co have spoke about....especially this gore tech engine...No organs spilling out in fatalities....No internal modelling being used just a bunch of crappy slice fatalities....I mean really did those hacks make skeletons an organs for eveery one just to be used in 2 seconds worth of xray?!?!?!? No toasty fatality using the skeleton? No reptile acide melting the skeleton?!?!

EVERYONE will be different? bull shit as adjun said..same model diff clothes...Every one will have custome animations? again BULL SHIT , and what the hell is with all the left over mk v dc moves!!!! the way every one gets up off the floor an cracks their neck is from mkvdc! the air break punch attack is from mkvdc! the fly kicks mkvdc! I mean come on!!! wake up guys! stop judging this game based on the fact it has blood an mkvdc didnt....That does not make this game good....Mk has ALWAYS half assed it....Under WB they have No....repeat NO excuse

I am also fed up with the idiotic animation of the defeated player losing all health after being knocked on the ground only to get up again and fall over....that is whack.....Or juggling some one in the aire then performing a move like sektors flame or scorpions spear and then the player is suddenly snapped back to the floor in perfect standing condition it looks stupid!

 

[Kelsper]

Kitana's hair sucks, I'm not buying this game.

... -_-

 

[DCR]

I've always liked the idea of Kitana having obscenely along hair for no particular reason. It seems to fit her. I wasn't a fan of the "bun" in UMK3, but I liked the ponytail in the 3D games and I like the non-ponytail in this game. My only real problem with it is the way it behaves when she's moving around a lot, but that's based on pretty old footage of the game and it's not that big a deal anyway.

None of it's going to keep me from playing as her, though. I'll tell you that much.

Spader,
I know your pain bro. I got myself hyped up for every 3D MK the same way I have with MK 2011. I've come to realize that a large majority of fans, at least on this site, are not really concerned about the complete package. I've heard all of the same defensive excuses when Deadly Alliance and Deception were announced and coming out. We see how those turned out.

Remember the popcorn fatalities of DA?

I have no problem with people who feel that 'Everything is perfectly fine' in this game. But I don't understand why they have to jump on people for pointing out the obvious flaws in a game they have high hopes for. I mean, we ALL had to grind through the Kratos debacle. So is it so much to ask for fellow members to let those of us without raving positive opinions voice them to one another without being flamed or insulted? They can always create a 'This or that is so damn cool!' thread, but instead prefer to lurk around these threads throwing rocks.

Anyway Spade, let us hope for hope's sake that we are completely wrong about these doubts and that the game is, in fact, a marvelous achievement that returns Mortal Kombat to the 'respected' class of the game shelf.

Adjun, you are a major nitpicker. I'd hate to be you, really, lol. As long as I get a good MK game, which is pretty much guaranteed by now from what we've all seen, then I could care less about a few insignificant negatives. I have problems with the game, but none of them are game-breaking enough for me to be worried over. Chill out bro.

I just checked the video out, and one of the first ones I seen was Cyrax's trash compacter - one of the best fatalities ever in the series IMO. Okay, the majority of them are eh... but gameplay > fatalities please, we've been over this.

If the fatalities are just shit, and the gameplay is amazing, I'll still play it. All I'll do is finish every match with a high punch to the face then.

Everything is perfectly fine - maybe not excelling and there's a few issues here and there, but on the majority everything is pretty much shaping up to be the best MK we've seen in a long long time, if not the best. I respect your opinions, but they are rather depressing to read.

I understand and respect your opinion, and everyone else who agrees with you. Here's your rock back.

 

[spader]

bro I hope I am, I hope I eat my ****ing words and am gob smacked by how good it is...but to me its just looking like a clunky cash in on the former glories with new graphics and an xray attack....

I dont know, I know boon and I know the mk team..they are lazy....basing fatalities on a cut system?!?! wtf is with that?!?! why not creat them individually? I thought goretech let them do that? still no sign of that!!! and every one raves oohh its not finished! piss off its 3 and a half months of release the game is DONE! an I got a feeling what we are seeing is what we are getting...and its just not good enough, I had such high hopes for this game...thinking if they are with WB they have the time an money to make it flawless but we still see the same faults that made the other games suck!

I just cannot get how the people involed cannot see what sux and what doesnt?

mk for a long time has focussed on stupidity lame ass gags comedy ,piss weak "funny" fatalities
and idiotic mini games an secrets that dont exist "super unlockables" then actually focussing on a good game!

When i heard No friend ships I was extatic! thinkgin now they will focus on fatalities and actually make them good! NOW! I hear the yare putting friend ships in! witch means mroe focus AGAIN on lame ass ****ing jokes an less on what makes or made mk great! FATALITIES!
I mean 2 scorpion sword fatalities? and they are happy with them selves?
reptiles is the worst yet!
kung loas hat an split is stupid over kill! and his buzz saw while good is still just the mksm one!
cryax's are good but the net makes no sense them falling into 10 pieces!
seems to me they are goin for comdey not brutality in fear of the ratings boards? or they are simply just over it and need some new blood....

and the mk3 arenas look like CRAP compared to the mk1-2 ones....roof tops in broad day light compared to the living forrest? you can see the difference....

the music is horrible aside from a couple of tracks ahh I just know im gunna be playing this game shaking my head goin WHY!?! WHY!?!? it could have been so good!

and Idont get why people are complacent with this and not complaining!!?!?

 

[Kelsper]

Then don't buy it. Simple as that. If you already hate the game so much, why bother complaining about it?

 

[Adjun]

It's a step above the other 3D MKs for sure, but their is still poot on their boots (or high heels) from walking through the trail of a decade of sub-par fighting games. Like I said before, I wish an entirely new development team was assigned to this game. To have new and edgier talent producing a reboot of a classic would have possibly turned out a lot different and better. Just look at what Rocksteady did for the Batman game franchise.

 

[Adjun]

Then don't buy it. Simple as that. If you already hate the game so much, why bother complaining about it?

Because I want to see how many times you will post in a thread that is clearly not intended for you. By all means, please create a thread for how cool the game is, highlighting all the coolness, and how cool everything is instead of lurking in this thread throwing rocks.

When you've loved an IP for as long as I have, and have hoped for a stellar return to the gaming forefront for said favorite IP, as I have, then you will have your answer. But seeing as you aren't even old enough to buy this game that is coming out without a parent there to get it for you, I realize you were still sperm when the true MK games were ruling the local arcades. So please have a tad of respect for those of us that have loved the game from the beginning. I have the right to my opinion because I love the originals so much and am still hoping for a grade A game to take up the honor of the greatest MK game.

 

[spader]

why are they depressing? because they point out the flaws in a game that is meant to be devoid of the previous games flaws returning it to glory, but then you realise this game actually may suck!

You know whats funny I bet you any thing! that 2 months after this new mk is released EVERY ONE on here will be *****ing about every thing me and Adjun have been saying!

 

[Kelsper]

The problem is, a new development team could also suck really hard and give us a failure.

I don't think we want another failure.

I think I will be playing this new game for at least a year after release, and if I'm not, hey, I certainly won't be whining about it. I'll just play some other games that captivate my interest.

 

[spader]

trust me 2 months after release every one will be pointing out the flaws a few of us have been talking about...A new dev team with fresh ideas would have been better....yet they scrap every idea that is better....like the guy who did the redesign vincet price or some thing? they didnt want his ideas! those ideas were the freshest and darkest things ever to grace mk and could have taken it back to the real dark gritty feeling it is meant to have! but no...we get a vibrant cartoony joke...with patheticly over done designs scorpion just looks stupid! nightwolf looks to plain an nice.... cage is wearing glasses while fighting....jax has a gun....sonya looks like a vegas stripper whore....
