You guys are complaining about something that has been in every Mortal Kombat.
So isn't it about time they change it?
Why? What is so devastating about them falling like bricks if you don't perform a fatality? You want them to have a nice dramatic fall, like they have just been shot or something? Because if so, you have the wrong game.

I have done both of Baraka's Fatalities and in neither of them is my opponents head removed from his body. Damn you TEEEEEEN! Speaking of which I laughed when the Joker
yelled KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIN
but my wife just looked at me funny.
And holy shit these Combo Challenges are HARD. So hard I think I'm doing something entirely wrong, I've only been able to pull off maybe three of them. Some of them honestly don't seem possible, like Captain Marvel's knock up hit followed by a lightening bolt...it can't hit him before they fall because of the animation time involved (edit: I think I just saw it used in a youtube video and you are suppose to time it so it hits just as the person stands up). Tips? Oh and in particular their is a pro move denoted in one of Marvel's powers but it goes something like this V > X, * < > Y and I'm all WTF when/what am I hitting for the pro part?
It's MK. It's more like 2, with it's flexibility for juggles, but also like 3 with some auto-combos thrown in for good measure. If you're only into MK for it's blood and gore, then this will be a little disappointing. If you liked the fighting engines from the past game, then it's a very solid game.
Really? You guys think that is an infinite? It looks like he is in like practice mode or something. Show me him playing against a human and I will believe it is an infinite combo.
Plus, we should just be playing against PA people anyway.
Uh, he actually says he's playing against a CPU and that he's already done it online. There's nothing vague about it. It looks pretty damn obvious why it works.
edit: and oh god "tech" is the stupidest fucking term ever, right next to "beast mode" and "scrub"
Thing is, when would you use that against the computer? Storymode and then where? And if someone is smart enough they can just jump before his animation hits the ground. Also, from what I hear on here and Gamefaqs, everyone uses Flash.
Is The Flash unfair in any way other than just being a fast bastard?
Nah, he just demands different tactics, like fighting Cabal in MK3.
Ya know I saw him do that move where he spins the opponent around and was like CABAL CLONE! I dont know if he actually is but it gave me that impression.

As a raving Cabal fan, I have to tell you both something.

The Flash is cool. The problem is when you play against him you FEEL like you're getting your ass kicked, even if you're not, because all of his attacks look so damn awesome and painful.

RIght now people are just learning the nuances of the Flash, as well as all the characters. At least from what I have played, people are pretty much playing him with the same tactics, leaving him open to the same responses. It will be really cool a couple months from now if people are still playing the game online to see people start getting more creative.
So - my initial judgment looking at the footage of this was that it was the same gameplay as MKDA, MKD, MKA from the PS2 era with some added things like Close Combat, prettier graphics and new characters. Was that accurate or is the gameplay upgraded/different in less obvious ways?
I love MK, but without playing it, it looks like the wimpy fatalities, no weapons combat (I assume), less characters and limited unlockables really feel like they moved in the wrong direction.

the game plays a whole lot better than the PS2 era games. I spent an hour with it last night and I enjoyed it a lot more than the past 3 MK games combined.
What would really be cool would be to put the X-Men + Spider Man into an edition of SFIV and call it a day
That would be called Marvel vs. Capcom 2. :P
Also, who cares about alternate costumes. They didn't have them in the first 3 (and best imo) games and we survived that. They added all that extra stuff in the PS2 games because the game went 3d, and while not bad, it was a big change from the best games in the series. So, with all the extra stuff there (puzzle kombat, racing, konquest), you were distracted from the bleh gameplay.
Granted I would eat it all up and buy all the packs they release, it isn't horribly necessary for them to release them. Releasing new characters, well, that is a different story. They better be releasing some DLC Character packs sometime before the end of the year. This roster is by no means bad or small. I just want Reptile, damn it.

Do you wish to give Kabal a run for his money? (1200MS points)
I love that people at Gamefaqs (and all over I guess) are complaining that the Kollector's Edition doesn't properly hold the discs. It has them in sleeves (think Viva Pinata special edition...or atleast the one that isn't the regular case). Wah, wah, wah. I know people bitch for nothing over things, but come on. It can still be displayed. Get over [strike]here[/strike] it!

Hah. Thats awesome. Its like they made him a blatant rip-off on purpose. I mean like I said. I havent played the game yet so I cant say he is but still....he just seems so Kabal like....(yes thats right Redfield I spelt it correctly this time!!!)

I played a few hours of this tonight. It's really quite nice I think, doesn't seem as deep as say deception, but a really nice moderate game. The story mode is pretty cool, makes all the stages make sense.
I'm not a fan of the split controls, though and the 360 controller is hell to pull off fatalities/brutalities. Oh, and everyone having the same startup animation is still stupid.
But pretty cool overall, but not a full-price buy for me.
Edit: The opponent spin->dizzy move sounds like the only move Flash and Kabal have in common, though I'm just looking at Kabal's wiki page. Flash has no projectiles or ranged in general, just a different moves of hitting his opponent after speeding at them from one way or another.
I barely play MK games because of the sheer anger they induce upon me but yet whenever one comes out I MUST somehow acquire it and play. Its odd. Like some masochistic way of love but even so. I do love them. I just SUCK hardcore. And yeah that spin move is the only move that made me think it was Kabal. I was just being a douche about it. I hope this comes in tomorrow so I can try it out.

For the curious out there, I traded in my 360 version for the PS3.
Right away, I noticed that the PS3 version has a softer look. I don't think the AA is active on the PS3, either, because there are much more noticeable jaggies than in the 360 version. Some textures just don't seem as crisp, though that might be because of the overall, softened look.
The sound is exactly the same on both systems. I was hoping for some HD-audio on the PS3, but I guess you can't have it all.
There's a slightly longer wait on the loading times for the PS3. It's less than 5 seconds extra, so it's not that big of a deal.
The game seems to play just a hair faster on PS3. It might be just because of how responsive that unweildly 360 d-pad is, but I noticed that the combos seem to come out faster on the PS3(ie, there was slightly less wait between punches). They both have the same steady framerate, though I did notice a very slight frame drop for a split second during a transition seen on the PS3.
Overall, I'd give the graphic edge to the 360 and the gameplay edge to the PS3. The online matches were pretty much identicle on both systems, with some lag here and there depending on where your competitor's ping. Yes, everyone is playing The Flash on both systems and no one is playing Catwoman.

Sounds like an import to me!
PS ID is dragonsama.
Since I haven't played it yet can anyone tell me if the game play is worse, better, or about the same compared to MKD?
HOWEVER
I have done both of Baraka's Fatalities and in neither of them is my opponents head removed from his body. Damn you TEEEEEEN! Speaking of which I laughed when the Joker

Two unlockable bosses.
That's it.
the only unlockables are bosses? what the hell?
A DARK RAIN WILL FALL
WE WILL PRESUMABLY BE FORCED TO BUY THINGS AGAINST OUR WILL
I love MK, but without playing it, it looks like the wimpy fatalities, no weapons combat (I assume), less characters and limited unlockables really feel like they moved in the wrong direction.
No, but if you do, you have to pay extra for their dress.
the game plays a whole lot better than the PS2 era games. I spent an hour with it last night and I enjoyed it a lot more than the past 3 MK games combined.
EDIT: Oh wait I read street fighter and not street fighter 4
