Fighting game Guru Youtuber Maximilian discussed his impression of the game.
I like the direction where they tone down the huge combo strings in the previous games, where winners often decided by who get the big combos which often take 50% or so health, to more tactical combat in line in other fighting games like SFV.

Yeah the only common complaint I can see is people saying that the game moves slower than MKX and that there is no run button, these are also the same players that rely heavily on really long combos. Personally I never use the run button so I'm totally fine with this.
 
Interesting to see Raiden with the classic Blue Lightning. This really reminds me of him as well as Black Adam in INJUSTICE 2. I was hoping the whole reason he was a guest character was to give him a lot of extra development.

I also wonder if we'll get any version of that beautiful INJUSTICE 2 Super, except when they're hit by lightning explode into a spray of guts and blood.

I really want to see this characters moves and finishers take more advantage of the great X-Ray like effects. We see this with Scorpion looking like a fiery skeleton in gameplay. I want to see this kind of thing with Raiden frying people.



This game brings out my twisted side lmao. I want to see Raiden burn and fry and cook people.

It's kind of sad how Sonya and Cassie look a lot more like real people this time but are less attractive than MKX considering they actually scanned actresses faces this time lol. I shouldn't say less attractive, the others look like toys so unless you find toys attractive there is no comparison lol.

Cassie MK11. She kind of has Ronda Rousey's eyes

Even if the actresses face isn't that pretty this is almost a generational leap in quality IMO.
Oof. Would it kill them to scan someone more easy on the eyes? Cassie is looking more like a chubby lesbian than the fit "it" girl they were going for in MK X :(

She should look like the Soldier Woman from Wreck it Ralf, imo.

Sonya actually looks fitting, imo, as she looks like an older, more authoritative woman.
 
Hey guys, women isn't some object for you to drool over. NR should be hailed for having mediocre/ ugly looking women in their games, next I'm hoping they'll put all the male fighters in a corner and show them how their toxic masculinity fatalities hurt the other characters.

I feel MKII missed the opportunity to promote inclusivity & diversity that reflects the real world demographic like including body positive 250 pounds middle age woman. That will make many women feel more inclusive. A shame.

Yeah I think I'm more accepting of the Sonya face now, she just looks like an older woman who's had some work done around the eyes or something :) Cassie does look like Ellen's butch younger sister lol. I do wonder if they'll have an alternate hairstyle for her that softens her up a bit, Sonya has a few different looks although they aren't drastically different.

Haha I was talking to some people on an MK forum because they were mad the women aren't dressed like strippers anymore, I asked them if straight guys really get off seeing computer generated women in thongs? I know if I saw Jax or Liu Kang in a thong I wouldn't think "oh damn that's hot" I'd think they looked silly lol.

I really like how Raiden looks in this game, I doubt we'll see that injustice 2 move though. His fatal blow was shown and it's a lot more violent than his injustice 2 super :) I'm not a fan of his fatality though, it's the least impressive of all the ones they've shown so far but they do tend to struggle with giving him cool fatalities for some reason.

Well at least she looks better than Sonya

Yeah, not my preferred type of porn, but if in need and not finding something else that interest me, sure, it would work if well done.
 
They only dressed like strippers in MK9 but they weren't even attractive. They all looked like men with huge cans. Other than the huge cans part it wasn't exactly DOA.

Yeah, but there is a difference between that and being nice to look at on screen. It's still entertainment, and there are next to no grounded elements in the game. If anything, it is a violent Saturday morning cartoon (good thing).

I also never understood why them being computer generated means anything. If they were actors, they still wouldn't be any more real to the user. Cartoons can be sexy as hell in any case. Jessica Rabbit anyone? The endless selection of hentai?

Its visual entertainment, and people should be allowed to enjoy things they otherwise couldn't in real life.

I'm not advocating thongs by any means, but unless you are a monster or just plain cool looking, you should be pleasant to view. Male or female.

Oh I get ya but the guys I was talking to were mad that the women basically aren't dressed as strippers like they were in MK9 which is funny to me because they had already toned the sexy outfits down for MKX. I totally want the characters to be attractive but that's also a matter of taste, Ellen DeGeneres could play this and totally love how Cassie looks LOL :)

I dunno, his signature power is unlike others who have blades or guns. Electricity doesn't really cut things, so they keep doing bizarro things to have him make limbs just pop off.

I really feel he should make people burn or explode like Sektor except from lightning instead of the flame thrower or seeking missile.

I do kind of like the head explode that was in the original teaser Vs. Scorpion, but no so much this new one.


It would also be insane if they gave him a Fatality like Black Adam's victory pose, except behind him in the lightning strike is flying limbs, bones, and guts or for good measure both eye balls.

Or seriously, make Raiden do this kind of stuff with Lightning instead of chains.

I prefer character to be more classy. Classy and sexy are not mutually exclusive. Runner and Joga gears can looks sexy and classy as well.

What I never understood is showing more fresh is a bigger issue than the ultra over the top fatalities. I understand it’s an MK thing but I was never a fan.

I agree although he may do something like that with a brutality. I never got the limbs popping off for Raiden and his new one makes no sense at all because he's pulling their limbs off only to bring smash them back and then blow them off again lol. I know fatalities don't have to make sense and often don't but I'd love to see him do something that seems more godly like teleport them to the middle of some storm clouds and just have lighting bolts hit him over and over until his skin melts off or his body starts to swell and explode.

Yeah our values are all screwed up "the human body is beautiful and should be worshipped but don't you look at it! well not unless you are dismembering it, then you can look at it as much as you want" lol

They could also do blackened burns and cracked skin over the more weird stuff, and it could be more disturbing.

They had the right idea in Mortal Kombat 1. Lightning, Head Explodes, then blood spray out of neck hole.

Raiden finishers turn into Gibs with no blood. It feels incomplete.


I'd also like to see him get a similar move to how Scorption jumps around with the hot chains to split someone in half.

Raiden should just reach toward the sky, draw in a lightning bolt to his hand, then just chop someone completely in half with just his hand blazing in energy. Or do this while guiding a bolt of lighnting then here a huge thunder clap.

I think of this battle scene from Casshern. Imagine Raiden pulling a move like this on Sektor.

Even the toned down one on the SNES was great, just fried them into ash.

The fatalities often don't make sense though, do you remember the one where Jax clapped and smashed the opponents head and then pulled off the arms? They do it just to be goofy and have some fun. Personally I would have yanked the arms off then flipped them both and caught them by the shoulder and then smashed the opponents head with his own hands. I think Johnny Cage had one where he punched their head off and then ripped them in half after lol.

Best quality footage I've seen yet, makes it easier to see the detail on the characters skin etc but it's only intros and outros. Pick 4K :) And it makes Sonya look better, her face has a little more color to it if you pause it when they show her clearly during her first intro, she's still not a MILF for the horndogs out there but she looks better here.

She does look better, and it's nice to see some proportions that don't look like she's a crossfit junkie, lol. Still needs to do some squats tho!

Man, the graphical improvement over MKX is Generational!. Baraka looks so damn bad-ass! So glad he's back! Everyone looks Mike's better!
 
The more I see the women, the more I'm wanting them to have more feminine faces and more muscular bodies, especially ass and legs. The men looks great, beefy and ripped, they could show more skin though, but overall they look great.
