Liu Kang's "Epic Beatdown" Gameplay Trailer

I hated that low fireball in MK2...especially since its sooo easy to spam. Hope there is some recoil to it this time. And yes, the sounds are super annoying.

Does he really have to do that stupid noise after every attack....

Cool to see a little of the story mode.

i know -- i hate liu kang just for that reason -- love beating him though, and will love to beat him in the new game
 
Okay what the **** have they done with the screams. They actually sounded cool back in the older games, now he sounds like a damned Ewok :|. And they really cant get asian faces right, can they? I still love Liu Kangs appearance and moves but they do need to fix the damned face and his screams.
 
Im liking the new look! Lui's bicycle kick is way tight now! i really liked the video. too bad no new char reveals. IM betting we will get all the char releases before PAX EAST or at least @ PAX EAST. Eh looking forward to seeing smoke!

Watch around 0:28: Liu Kang looks like Arnold Schwarzenegger, there's definitely something wrong in his face.
 
Loved his fiery bycicle kick! But I agree with Taj, they've crossed the limit with Liu's screams, and his face is too fat. Except for that, pretty cool video. And nice of them showing alternate costumes, I thought we'd only see those when we got the game.
 
Liu looks like a long combo fighter...
Good to piss people off online with...
But Noob is still my main and I'm gonna pray for a new character reveal on Friday. [For all you Sheeva, Kabal, and Smoke (RIP Smokey Cut) fans]

I love the yells too...
They are classic and real world martial artists use them to increase the power behind their strikes. (Ever watch boxing or MMA? They exhale when they strike too)

Nice suit Johnny has. The "red lady" is there again too. I hope to see Jade's fatality before the game comes out.
 
The fighting looks cool but I hope the voice acting doesn't suck this time around. dc universe was god awful with it
 
Total side note, but Liu Kang's voice really doesn't sound like Robin Shou to me. :(
 
Wow, if noob made me pop wood, then Liu just threw ice water on my crotch! He looks like a very boring character. His moves are just, I don't know, lacking and dull. Gobble-bobble bleeble blooble after every punch, kick, and blink of his weird looking eyes is unecessary. Johnny's Alt looks silly. I see NRS just can't help themselves but make stupid shit in their games. They remind me of a kid at a piano recital with perfect skills but has to blurt out turrets-like curses. Bloody, dark, grim, JOHNNY IN A BLUE SUIT! Wicked intros, unique poses, characters have distinctive personalities, LIU KANG GOBBLE GOBBLE!!!
 
This was seriously a total buzz kill. Here I am excited out of my mind that Liu Kang is BACK, and now they ruin the turkey sounds. I dont care what anyone says, the turkey sounds were freaking awesome, but now theyre ruined because he sounds like an ewok from star wars. And omg, yes the FACE :|. Was someone at NRS being butt****ed (no homophobia intended) by Arnold Schwarzenegger while creating his face? Seriously, this really pissed me off. Two games in a row where theres an epic fail on Liu Kang.
 
Haters gonna hate. I'm really not getting the gripes about Johnny Cage's alt...like his character ISN'T an action movie star, and he's never had a tuxedo alt before.

I personally liked the video though, its pretty much what I've come to expect from these short little combo vids. Liu Kang's combos weren't really mind blowing for me, and he doesn't look like he'll have quite the combo potential of Kung Lao or Mileena, but the game needs variety.
