Tanya's KombatKast Stream June 1st!

You know, I did like Derek and Tyler decking it out amongst each other but you know, their matches are boring to watch. I know I'm not the only one who notices but I mean... they're not showcasing anything cool, and it would be awesome for them to play as characters that they aren't familiar with as much as they are with Kano and Mileena.

I mean... they could have literally had a Tanya mirror match, after all the stream was SUPPOSED to be about her and only her, am I right Tanya folks? I wasn't as thrilled as I was with the stream because I've already admitted that I'm not really that much of a Tanya fan at all and I just wanted to see her gameplay, but showing her off was cool, however the rest was just so boring.

Meh, rant over.
 
The belt matches are just rivalry bouts between two members of NRS. I see no reason for them to handicap themselves by jumping around mashing buttons with characters they don't know. That is uninteresting.
 
Why such a nonentity, meh character as Tanya was deemed fit to be reserved for DLC treatment, is a quandary for the Ages...

Shinnok even looked better in MK9.

I will agree with this much.
His MK9 look was pretty awesome.

I couldn't ever take his MK4 look seriously, though.
Every time I fought against him in ladder mode in MK4, I chuckled a little.
 
I enjoy watching a struggle, that's mostly why I'd suggest using a character they don't know. But it's really whatever. I'm not that into their matches as much as I was when they first started.

maaaaan haha I feel like i'm one of the few left on this earth who actually think Shinnok looked his best in MK4. I don't know why it appeals to me, I guess its because it looks more like armor rather than a robe, like he suited up to go into battle or something. I always loved his MKA blue robe costume as well, but MK4 is still my favorite. I know not many people like it but I would die to have it as an alt for him in MKX.

also I agree [MENTION=16500]Kitty_55[/MENTION], the kombat kasts themselves outside of showing the new characters are dreadfully boring. The belt stuff is fake hype, you can tell no one really cares who the hell is gonna win. Yeah it got pretty intense in some earlier ones, but come on, it's just so boring now lol. I enjoyed when PPJ used Tanya and that's about it.
 
Incidentally, I think Shinnok is amazing in MKX. I love his variations, his look, his voice and he steals all of his scenes in Story mode, even if there are sadly only a handful. The only things I don't like about him are his little Necromancer hands and the fact he doesn't (yet) have an MK4 alt. costume.

He's underwhelming as a boss and his corrupted/demon form is a bit bland (Dark Khan?) but as an actual character I think he's fantastic. I really like both of his costumes... I wish he had more. I'd really like NRS to make some sort of Elder God type costume for him, with a more blue/white ethereal look. I'd buy that.
 
The horns in his main costume and the skeleton hands look a bit weird to me but this is easily the best Shinnok we've had IMO.
 
The skeleton hands are ABSURD and so stupid but I laugh every single time so I'm glad they exist. Who on the design team thought that was a super kewl look?

Anyone else do Erron Black's 1st Brutality on skeleton hands Shinnok and notice that his skeleton arms glitch and have flesh on them after the Brutality is initiated?
I noticed this while doing Test Your Luck with the Brutality Kombat Modifier on, and only that modifier.

Isn't Li Mei more of a civilian in this timeline? The old Li Mei would've fearlessly challenged Mileena to Mortal Kombat.

Li Mei is still a fighter. She helped lead Outworlders into Earthrealm and discusses honorable and dishonorable combat with Cage and Sonya. She just (for whatever reason) doesn't have much of a role in MKX. She may be used in an upcoming game, though.

Oh I totally agree with all of this. I think Shinnok aesthetically has never looked better, everything about him has been improved. I still love his MK4 costume to death and I agree with you, I love both of his costumes in this game as well. I just would love to have his klassic in this game, and man I would love the elder god type costume. That would be seriously amazing, I can't believe they went with that pos samurai costume. It looked so promising in the concept art they released before the skins were released too, and the final product was just such a let down. Really hope he gets some more DLC costumes down the line.

Yes, I've had this happened. Some other variations change during some fatlities but I don't remember who.
 
I've just realised something. They're going to have to add a whole new gib (Am I saying this right?) if we want Predator's Spinal Rip Fatality to be a thing.

That is exclusive property of characters bearing the name of "Sub-Zero" and "Scorpion".

Consistency?
How?
Unbreakable Sub-Zero tell (his mask) mask falls off when the same Brutality is done on him by Erron Black.
It's definitely a glitch.




Fixed. 8)
Scorpion ripped that off from the original MK1 Sub-Zero

Scorpion used it, in addition to his own Toasty Fatality, against Bi-Han in the canon story.
