[Mortal Kombat 11] We Got Bugs and Fast Bois!
Posts
I liked all the new kids from MKX except for the Kung Lao guy... whathisface with the bow. Jacqui was my favorite though. Her fighting style clicked with me for some reason, and I loved her attitude. "Quit lookin' at my butt!"
Also holy shit the character models are so good, Scarlet looks insane, her face is so unique and shes not some boobalicious barbie doll.
So it looks like Xrays are now called Fatal Blows, and aren't tied to meter but rather something you can try once your health drops below a certain threshold to maybe turn the match in your favor. It also looks like certain moves during combat trigger a cinematic Xray move-ish close-up as well.
Also holy fuck, Skarlet looks really awesome!
She's also a Sandy Hook conspiracy theory lover and an anti-trans feminist. 'Magine that.
Given the MKX DLC characters, it's possible (I'd go so far as to say "probable") that any characters that were in X but aren't in 11 could be added later. Provided the game sells as well as the hype seems to imply.
Re: The Skarlet vs Sonya match, I like that the two dudes wearing body armor and carrying automatic rifles just nope the fuck out before the match starts.
Smartest dudes in the game right there.
Skarlet is giving me some Fish Mooney vibes in the appearance. I don't know if it's the short/two toned hair or if there's something in the facial features that's making the connection though.
Probably going to just pick up the DLC fighters ala carte this time, instead of just prebuying them without even knowing who they're including.
Love the name of that Scorpion variation
That Baraka fatality is ridiculous too (in a good way)

I like the separation of the meters, one of the things that annoyed me about watching high level play in X is that the X ray moves almost never get used in favor of saving the meter for combo breaking or enhancing a normal move a bit. Breaking the meter up like that, then having the Fatal Blow be it's own separate thing seems like it could be an interesting modification on the mechanic.
Yeah, this looks cool as hell but I'm staying well away from it for a while.
On the plus side, Skarlet looks like the most Mortal Kombat Mortal Kombat character that you could possibly have.
That's because Warner Bros didn't learn their lesson from the Arkham Knight PC fiasco and hired the same fucking company to do the MKX port.
Like, does how many time did it took Scorpion to jump through hell before he figured out at what angle and distance to open the portal through hell in order to successfully bisect a person?
You don’t know - could be a first timer. For all we know after the screen fades to black he’s like “Holy shit! Did you see that shit?! I saw it in my head but never thought it would work. I am such a badass!!!”
And how many times did Baraka have to practice ripping off just the face, then the skull before eating those delicious brain meats?
I mean, that can't be easy. even peeling an orange takes some practice, especially if you want to do it all in one go. Can't imagine the orange screaming and bleeding on you would make that any easier.
As for practicing, psshh, MK is a universe in which the laws of physics, probability and gravity bend to the laws of what's the most badass
However yeah if you're on pc definitely do not preorder since I've heard their pc ports have been shit
In terms of her blood magic yeah she's ultimate MK, however her actual look, the hat and goggles and kind of 1920s explorer costume mixed with the old ninja look is unique and inspired, I love it
Speculation- The "bartender" in the background of the Black Dragon Fight CLub stage is Kano. Further speculation- The Ruins of Shang Tsung's Island has his throne in the background as well a bunch of mummified monks. Due to all the time travel shennigans I'm calling it now that SHang is in the game and there is a "past" version of the map that takes place in the MK 1 era. The dead guy you can pull the spear out of on the left side of the stage is one of Shang's Guards with the diamond masks, the monks will be alive (and applaud politely), and Shang Tsung will observe from his throne.
I remember many a fights with you vs my kitana

It would be nice if the Klassic skins are in by default and not DLC
The DLC fighters they added in MKX were pretty crazy. I about lost my mind when they announced Jason. Though maybe the MK character selections were a bit weak. Like, I didn't know who Tremor was. He was pretty sweet to play as, though.
That said, I hope they bring back Smoke and Jade. Gimmie dem pallette swap ninjas!
