If the post-Arcade characters were that good in the first place, then they would've been in more games.

Quite happy with what I saw of the new characters, looking forward to learning more about them, both in terms of mechanics and their stories. As for the notion that they don't "fit" in MK, I'm not sure I understand. Between the vampires, cyborgs, gods, government agents, movie stars, monks, criminals and lizard people there's never exactly been a rigid definition as to what constitutes a fitting MK character.

A ninja is a rigid definition.
In fact, I think we should go to an All Ninja roster for one game. It doesn't even have to be a canon game.

I must say I am impressed with these new characters, they certainly put more effort and creativity into them compared to MKD-MKA new characters.
Ladybug is a very intriguing concept for a character, it is definately something new for the series - the fatality is epic too! Her moves are cool too, very insect-like. I give her a 7.5 so far.
The giant and the midget is indisputably a new concept in Mortal Kombat - we did have the Noob-Smoke duo before, but for the most part they were taking turns instead of a 2 on 1 style. I think the fatalities will only be performed on the big guy but I have no idea what happens to the midget then. I cannot express enough how great the fatalities look this time around - they just feel better, there is much more creativity going on, seems like they will have more realistic screams too.
Verdict: 7/10
Now moving onto the aztec warrior, who is in my opinion, the most interesting one. Sadly he was only shown for a couple of seconds, but I can already tell I will like this character - cannot wait to see more of him, hopefully some gameplay at the E3. His fatality was very gruesome, especially the way he cut open Scorpion's chest. I give him an 8/10.
Snowy forest: 6.5/10 I do like the athmosphere of the arena, but not much is going on.
Shipyard: 7/10 a much more darker arena, I love the corpses that come from the sea, because it provides an element of time to the stage interactivity.

I like the look of all the new characters so far; I love that they decided to add new characters rather than just retouch the old ones; will make for a much more interesting story imo. I said it in the other thread but it'd be interesting to see if they decide to go a way similar to SF3, where they replace half of the cast with new characters.
I like the forest mainly because of the scream that started after the match begun (I hope that's a permanent feature) plus it looks really cool but I love the "Shipyard Stage" the most mainly because of the background.

Absolutly EVERYTHING in this trailer got a 10/10 for me ! This is a brand new vision of MK, darker, nastier, with more blood and never-seen-before chatracters !
I love Lady bug because she remind me Drahmin in MK
A, surrounded with flies... and i LOVE the shipyard stage !! This is AWESOME ! (and much more exciting than MK9, which looks too much cartoonish now...)A great reason to get an PS4, at last

im all down for new characters. But these 2 new ones as many people said dont fit the badass MK vibe at all. theyre boring uninspiring designs that dont fit. the footage of subz vs scorpion and the footage of the 2 new characters look like 2 completly different games. one dark and serious and the other more fun and goofy.
Tobias would never of come up with those designs. thats why the original characters designs are hard to compete with not many artists have the imagination and creative skill that tobias had he was one of a kind. this is also why most characters since umk3 onwards sucked.
its not impossible though hopefully they have some better characters still to come but theyre not doing a good job so far impressing us with new characters.

Absolulty, i agree !
With the mk9 reboot, NR Studio had made the job : HD version of all the iconic MK characters and background... but with only ONE new character (Cyber Sub).
At last NR studio is taking some risks now (and they earned enough money with MK9 to permit it) !
The MK franchise needs to be renew from time to time, this is the best thing that can happen ! (thanks god NRS don't always listen fans wishes
)

5/10. It's not bad and neither something I'd be excited for, aka, mediocre. It really feels like a DC comic character.
2/10.
Just like the "Ladybug", this one doesn't feel like an MK character at all. Take a look at all the previous MK games, movies, whatever. Have you seen anything like this before? I'm all good for new characters, but this...This is out of the place.
Plus that squeaky high-pitched voice is annoying.
8/10.
This guy actually looks like a good addition. I like the design and the bits we saw from his fatality. Need to see more, but so far it's good.
10/10. Don't think there's anything to improve, considering the hardware limitations. My only gripe is the fact that you can see where the lighting source is coming from (the background), but the characters don't seem to be affected by it. They look flat as a result.
10/10. Impressive.

Lady Vorpax: 9/10. Love the design. Fresh concept for MK. Would like to see her with a bit more color though.
Tank and Spank: 4/10. I like the idea of a giant brute. But no need for the little midget thing. Found her annoying.
Blue Warrior dude: 8/10. Seems like we are finally getting a new God character. I've wanted this for a while. And his fatality seemed excellent. But I need to see more of him before ranking him higher.
Really dug the new characters.
Snowy Forest: 10/10. Mystical, dark and very Mortal Kombat
Ship: 9/10. Will be 10 if there is a stage knockout.
Tomb: 7/10. Simply because I would like to see more of it before rating any higher.

The Aztec warriors just remind me the first form of OGRE, the boss of Tekken 3. So far, this is the only one thing i don't like in MKX... but it would be great as an alt outfit for Shinnok ! Great idea !!

Ladybug - 9/10
Giant & Midget - 8/10
Aztec warrior - reserving judgment
Stages:
Snowy forest - 7/10
Shipyard stage 10/10
The tomb with figurines (shown during Ladybug's fatality) - Didn't see enough
Ladybug and the Giant have given me renewed confidence in Netherrealm in terms of new characters. Ladybugs limbs coming out of her back, the midget coming into play, can't wait to try them out!
The shipyard was wonderful. I like the fact you have to time your throwing of the corpses with the tide. The forest was a simple but fitting setting. Feels like a downgrade to the living forest but I liked it. MY GOD!

The Lady Bug: 6.5/10
Not bad at all. But some how I'm not feeling her. Ok... It's because she's tooth of a monster than an actual human.
Giant and Midget: 6.5/10
Reminds of a brutal version of Chang and Choi Bounge from King of Fighters but better of course.
Aztek Guy: 6.5/10
Pretty cool and looks original but still not feeling it much.
I'd want an actual female with gadgets and weapons like the dominatrix idea I always have in mind.
Plus, I'd want to create my character.
