Yess..the one thing that I feel all fighting games need..
Mhmm, the one thing I feel could make MORTAL KOMBAT even better because it doesn't include as of yet..


It is..

Spoiler:
A TAUNT BUTTON

How important is this to you?
How many of you would like to see this implemented in a Shao Khan-esque way in future games?
 
The only thing I would like to be included or changed, is the option to block by presing the + to that side <- instead or R2 :( (PS3 talkin)

that wouldn't work...you'd be blocking then, when you might wanna just move backwards...and if YOU use the joystick, there are others (me included) that prefer the D-pad.
 
For me, I'm for it and against it. It would be good to taunt your enemy right before you do a fatality on them (And they could borrow from Capcom, where successfully taunting could give you a boost in your special meter).

But on the other hand, Shao Kahn should be the only one who taunts, because that's what made him one of the most memorable bosses in video game history. He would pause a bit from the ass whipping he was giving you to taunt your futile efforts of beating him. Giving it to other people would make the fights against Shao Kahn in this game fell less epic IMO.
 
No taunt button for me. I've never liked taunt buttons except years ago when I used to play those N64 WCW and WWF games and the taunt built up the meter that let you do finishers. That kind of thing fits a lot better into pro wrestling than Mortal Kombat.

And as far as the pressing back on D-Pad to block, the block button has always been one of my favorite distinctions in MK. Even as a kid in the arcade when I'd play Marvel vs Capcom or something I'd with there was a block button (or fatalities, or blood and gore, or an announcer). These features are part of the reason I've always liked MK the best.
 
Maybe in the dulled down MK games like Armageddon, Deception, and Deadly Alliance. But in MK9 you don't have time to taunt except for before a fatality, but the fatality is a taunt in itself so other taunts are really unnecessary.
 
@ MileenaK - oh ok, my bad

@ .:Reptile:. - Here's your taunt button inputs for a "certain someone" http://twitpic.com/4c92dr/full

...click "< Back to photo page" at the top...and you'll see that, that pic is directly from Ed Boon's twitter pics he posted

It does, which now makes me wonder if it's just him teasing us again, or if he's actually giving us a little hint as to him being playable.

Just MY opinion, but I think it's real...and that the MK guys are just teasing us by sayin "they" aren't gonna be playable...and that "they" really WILL be playable

Friendships and Babalities are much more humiliating...

Like they do in Street Fighter and Marvel Vs. Capcom series? If so, I TOTALLY agree!

Stay on topic please. Thanks.

I don't know. On one hand they could make Taunts able to be canceled into whatever, which would be pretty hilarious (especially if Kahn's taunts are like that) Imagine if you will:

*Kahn whacks you across the stage*


You path-

*You attack him, he Rhino Charges knocking you down again*

*Ahem* Pathetic FOOL!

Would be pretty hilarious either way.
 
I agree with the taunt option lol. But too whoever said they should implement < to block!? I disagree Ive always hated fighting games that do that....and I always end up blocking when I dont want too.
