When I said I hope she's not Shao Kahn MK9 type is the fact the he doesn't favor a fight.
He's very cheap - as he should be, he's Shao Kahn ffs - but he makes an obligation out of you to repeat moves and explore openings because he forces you to not be around him. This is very boss fight, but its not the best IMO.
While Corrupted Shinnok is waaaaaay cheaper than him - one miserable wretch, overhead + shoulder, repeat two times 3 kombos of hot Jinsei in your face, done - at the least you have to fight him, otherwise keeping the distance you are doomed.
I think Kronika might be in the middle of them all, including Braniac. She must have some cheap long range moves, must be devil in kombos , but I just hope we don't have to be repeating moves, the fight just doesn't flow (despite the pressure on the player is nice). BBBLP might be right, this use of time is probably something technical they can cheap out of us.
About Kano, I liked his face, does remember Trevor indeed, but he looked too skinny even though muscular. Maybe a mix of MK9 and MKX, looking younger tho.

Not a bad thing actually. It has a chance of going a very long way when it comes to replay value. And no it should actually have Mortal Kombat Trilogy vibes and not Mortal Kombat Armageddon vibes.

Not inherently, no. I already pre-ordered the premuim edition, so obviously Im looking forward to playing it. But I'm kind of conflicted right now. I love the original characters, but at some point you have to make bigger moves forward. There are only so many way to retool Kano Cannonballs, etc.

It's starting to feel like it.
Respectfully disagree.
No one is saying or implying that that it should have "Armageddon vibes," but given that Raiden turned into dark Raiden at the end of MKX, MK11 should have more MK: Deception vibes, and this feel like a punch to the balls (to use an MK analogy) / kick to the gut for those that were hoping to see some 3D era characters.....

"We’re taking all the events of MK1, MK2, and MK3, and folding them on top of the current timeline."
Hmmm.... Where have I heard something similar to that before? Oh, yes, when MK9 was first coming out.
MK9 = taking place after Armageddon and folding the timeline back to the MK1, MKII and MK3 days.
I feel the same conflict.
I already pre-ordered the regular version of the game, and I still want to play as Geras and Cassie, but yes, the series should be moving in a forward direction and not backwards.

How is a similarity concerning characters = rebuilding the same game? I dig the fact that classic characters are in MK11, but with having Cassie at least one of her parents could actually sit out.

It's Boon saying that they are folding over the events of MK1, MKII and MK3 that's the concerning part, because the last time he said same thing about the MK1, II and 3 timeline and used a similar "Back To The Future reference," we got MK9 / Trilogy 2.0 with Quan Chi and Cyber Sub-Zero being the only 2 characters not previously in the original Trilogy era.

why is everyone so this person needs to sit out, that person needs to sit out
they are doing something specific with their storylines and they want who they want, being pissed cause Sonya, Johnny and Kano are in and Reiko isn't or whatever maybe he is not part of the story they are trying to retell, if this is time bending and a lot of the originals are coming back it would make sense, i have a feeling they are trying to erase a lot of the 3d-era people minus a few of them
it's their game at the end of the day nothing we can do but play it, if you don't like who is on the roster well sorry this is what they are doing and we need to see what is happening, they can not just move forward and only have sub and scorpion in the future games and have all new cast everyone has their favs and will continue to if they are not in
if you want johnny, sonya and kano out well i would love for scorp and sub to be out, their story ended with them making up in mkx and they do jack shit for the story line, don't care if they are popular they do nothing, it be pretty dumb of them to go back to the beginning and not have the original people so your anger on the roster is tiresome, every forum, every thread all i see is people pissed
let nrs do their thing see where the story goes, then make your comment these are characters they built in mk1 they came up jacqui, cassie, kung jin, d'vorah etc etc were created in one game that people mostly hated if you hated jacqui so much why would nrs put her in over her dad? let's be honest she was laggy in mkx since her one fatality lagged badly,
nrs has a formula to what they are doing you ing does not make them change their minds so hating on someone cause they are in they are in cause they fit with the story

I think I am very much going to buy all Kombat Packs, so the full roster will have a lot of different characters and I am not complaining about NRS and their choices. Let’s be glad that MK even features story mode, there are so many other fighting games without it. NRS is doing a very good job and compared to other fighting games an even better job. For a fighting game story is something less important after having played once, so it doesn’t matter if a certain character is „canon“ or not after being DLC. For me, Goro is in MKX, equally to any other character and regardless of his non-present role in story mode. This is what can’t be said about Rain who appears in story mode but is nowhere to be seen on the roster.

Because it's a limited roster size.
If it was a starting roster of 40+, then I wouldn't care as much about people demanding the same 25 characters.
Agreed, it's their game that THEY are making.
That said, people are allowed to voice their opinions on a public forum, which this is.
It's perfectly fine not to want another MK9, though.
I can't speak for everyone else, but at least that's my biggest fear with MK11 after Ed Boon said that.
People didn't mostly hate MKX, as it was the number 1 selling game for 4 months straight, and that wouldn't happen if people hated MKX.
The people who were upset are the vocal minority, and I was equally annoyed at them constantly complaining that Baraka, Noob, Jade, Kabal and the cyborgs weren't in. The vocal minority being upset at the MKX roster was also tiresome.
You're right, the roster is set in stone by now.
That said, the minority of people who b!tched when MKX dropped are getting the characters that they wanted to have in MKX in MK11 now, so yeah, Boon / NRS does listen and pay attention and perhaps listening to people who also want 3D characters in means that there's at the very least a shot of them being DLC.
I believe that it was 6 per pack, according to the steam page.....

I would be fine if literally every preexisting character was left out and the roster was comprised with entirely new ones (I'm aware this would never happen).

Would maybe be interesting but not with a period of 4 years waiting. If MK was released every year like Assassin‘s Creed I‘d be fine with such an experiment.
