Official February 12th MKX Livestream Thread

I realize I'm probably nitpicking here, but is anyone else a little bit annoyed that Reptile uses the "I will tear your flesh" line twice in different intros?

That's his thing. I enjoy playing the guitar, watching a movie and playing a game, he likes to tear the flesh of people apart.
 
What was that about something "floating" in the distance in the new stage? They were careful with their wording.

I think it's Shinnok's spire or Quan Chi's fortress (not exactly the one from MKM:SZ and far less the one from MK:DA, because this one was located on Outworld).

There is a rocky thing floating on the background, seems to have windows or something like that.
 
Just read through the thread.

Let's be honest, she's been high in demand even from MK 9.
Not really. People on MK fansites are a very miniscule minority.

Reptile Ex slide is full screen and has armor.
And is quick as hell. This will help him a lot.

I completely agree. I've seen some past fanart with him wearing a cobra hood like that, so it's cool to see NRS was thinking about using that. Too bad they didn't though.
I love the look. Hopefully it's DLC.

also i think they let something slip at the end by saying "next time well be playing our own characters" by this i think they mean they will be fighting each other as their favourate characters, so if anyone knows who those guys favourate characters are maybe thats who will be revealed in the next stream.
Well, Tyler's favorite is Ermac, and they're not fighting as him again. So throw that theory out the window. It's clear by "their" characters they mean the characters assigned to them for the next showdown, kinda like how Reptile and Kitana were "their" characters for this stream.

If nothing else, it'll probably be banned from tournaments, because I see far too much potential for abuse with that variation.
It's not THAT bad. Tyler made it look better than it actually is by being such a scrub.

I hope so. If he's 'working together' with Kotal then there may be a chance.
Have you not read the comics?

Interesting that some folks consider Havik deconfirmed by this stream. If anything, I think that little back and fourth between Derek and Tyler was actually more of a hint towards his inclusion.

Another thing I noticed. Reptile's character select icon has now changed. Last stream showed a different mask than this one, so looks like it's anyone's guess which costume will be his primary and which his alt.
I would cry tears of joy if I see Havik in this game.

And I'm pretty they changed it because they realized they messed up. I'd bet good money on Reptile's primary being the one we saw concept art of.

That´s an interesting twist, having Kitana fighting for the evil and Mileena trying to restore her realm (in a stupid way, but at least trying)
How the hell is Mileena working to restore her realm? Kinda the opposite really. Did you read the comics? All she wants is power. She doesn't care for her people, only her birthright.

it kinda sucks that Reptile says the same thing to Kano that he says to Kung.....

1) Dislike how so many intro's starting with just a name of the enemy...
They are literally recording hundreds upon hundreds of lines of dialogue for the intros. Cut NRS a little slack. There will be lots of repeated generic lines.
 
Kitanas alt costume - we have these awesome designs....

then they go with this

:/ the first two look great, the intriqute detail and style fits the current look and theme of the game. almost movie like quality

the last one that they went for looks like it was designed for MK9 :/

That was the point.
My guess is that we'll be fighting her with tthehat costume during the NetherRealm war.

Which means everyone else from MK9 probably has a MK9-looking alt, or at least something close.
 
Wow. I'm not sure how I feel about this alternate...

They had such gorgeous concepts. Why did they pick this one? The Dark Queen concept was my favorite and it fits with Kitana's story. Her best friend is dead, her love interest is dead, her mother is dead, Edenia is gone: she needs to mourn all her losses.

WHY NOT THAT ONE NRS??? :sad:

Seriously. Those two outfits are beyond amazing to be her alts, too bad we got that MK9-ish one. I hope we get them as DLCs later! That design is so cool to be just thrown out. I think Kitana is the returning kharacter who they got most into to make a big good visual change (except for her variations haha).

I don't think Havik is out though. One of the guy in video said "I can't answer that" when someone made a joke about Havik. That sounds like that he may or may not be in the game.
 
Oh my god, just briefly scrolling through and all I see are complaints, complaints & more complaints. They have stated about 15 times that NOTHING IS FINAL, not the damage numbers, not the costumes, not the fatalities, not anything. So stop bloody complaining! So ungrateful.

As for the tears regarding Kitana's alternate costume, I'm not the biggest fan either but I do know that a drawing on a piece of paper and a costume in the actual game is completely different. I think it will be beautiful in game, if not they have stated many times that there will be a lot more costumes than there was in MK9, and with Kitana being one of the main characters I guarantee she will have at least 3-4 to choose from.

That aside, this stream was amazing. The only issue I have was Tyler getting his ass handed to him & not being able to show Kitana's full fatality or second fatality as a result. Best of 5 would have been much more appropriate.
