MKII Premier Tower is up

[Imperatrix Sindel]

Kung Lao at the top. Raiden, Mileena, Liu Kang, Johnny Cage, Kitana, Sub-Zero, Reptile, Jax, Kung Lao.

These towers just don't feel right without including the real bosses of the games.

That'd be a lot of work for a one week tower, but yeah I agree they feel incomplete. A weird idea when characters are missing. The MK3 one will be especially bizarre.

It wouldn't have been a lot of work to import characters like how they did for story mode. Rain, Sindel, etc.

They had to entirely remodel and re-rig those characters, even if they were reusing designs and moves.

I'm disappointed Baraka isn't in this one, though. Maybe a secret fight.

Define "a lot of work." Would you be OK with paying the animators' and programmers' salaries while they worked on importing those characters?

Strange that there's no Scorpion in MK2, considering he can't be in MK3.

 

[natedoggcata]

I totally called it lmao

Secret fight is...

Spoiler:

Kitana using the mournful variation

so lame

 

[Lord Greyjoy]

So what's the point of the MK3 tower if the only addition is Ermac? This whole thing is poorly thought out. I know it doesn't matter, but there's better ideas for these events.

 

[BBBLP]

Who tf is going to be in the MK4 tower?

 

[Imperatrix Sindel]

I did it again and the fighters moved around. Scorpion was in this time.

Secret Fight:

Spoiler:

Mournful Kitana. Complete the 5 sweeps dragon challenge -- cute throwback to the MK2 Jade fight unlock.

 

[Imperatrix Sindel]

Who tf is going to be in the MK4 tower?

I'd guess Liu, Sonya, Johnny, Jax, Sub, Scorp, Quan Chi, Shinnok, Tanya. If they cheat and add Gold, you've got Kung Lao, Kitana, Mileena.

 

[Nethervestige]

I'll say it. These klassic themed premier towers are a poorly executed mess.

Were my expectations too high? Perhaps. Will acknowledging this prevent me from criticizing NRS for its half-assed implementation of this gimmick? Not a damn chance! They could have given us something - something - to evoke that authentic trilogy feel.

Oh right, the secret fights...

Meh.

 

[natedoggcata]

The only thing I like these klassic towers for is the Kombat Kard set. They look really nice

Yeah this one in particular is lovely.

 

[Down4]

I'm guessing for the MK3 tower it will be

Sonya, Jax, Liu Kang, Kung Lao, Sub-Zero, Kano, Mileena, Kitana, Ermac, Scorpion and Reptile.

No MK3 debuts besides Ermac. That totally feels like MK3, right? :laugh:

 

[Imperatrix Sindel]

I'd really hope at the very least they use Sindel as a secret fight. You programmed her! She's the central figure of the MK3 storyline!

IF they didnt have Baraka for the MK2 tower, I doubt they will have Sindel for the MK3 one

 

[DragonVenom]

Ugh, I wish this game wasn't released so that I could still have my enthusiasm.

Who would they use instead, do you think? Smoke and Noob aren't possible or fakeable with variatons.

Secret fight: Johnny Cage Stunt Double!
