Yes and the Fatal Blows only work once per GAME once they hit. So if you use it during the 1st round you can't use it again for the entire match. I think that adds some nice strategy so you have to decide whether you want to use that massive resource or not. You could spend it in the first round and still lose and now you're down a tool.

I also like the bars being different and recharging automatically but I'm a little worried it'll encourage Injustice 2 style zoning which wasn't fun. I was never a big fan of crazy long combos and MK has never really been an offender but I didn't have the patience to learn them in MKX. Everything I've seen about this game makes me think I might pick it up day one.

edit: There's also some mechanic called brutal blows or something where certain moves zoom in and do X-ray style animations if you satisfy a certain condition. Like maybe if you land a certain move on someone out the air or if you hit them 3 times in a row with a projectile. I believe those can only happen once a match too but it's another little thing to play around your opponent with.

They also added perfect blocking which is basically parrying. You take reduced chip damage and you're able to recover out of blocking faster if you perfect block so you can punish things that couldn't normally be punished. LOTS of new stuff going on with this game so far!

Oh, yeah. I love all those implementations as well.

But from what I've heard, everyone has zoning options, but everyone also has a big move to close in on the opponents. That's something I actually really like, since I hate zoning. But if everyone has the option to zone and close the gaps, that's huge.

Yeah zoning can certainly be annoying but I don't mind it. We'll have to see how the movement options end up working without a run button. Raiden's lightning looked pretty oppressive in the exhibition against Sonya so idk.

I think I prefer everyone being more specialized instead of the "give everyone a fireball" mentality that NRS usually follows.

Sonya has her arc kick that should be able to punish Raiden's lightning spam. I do think Raiden's lightning looks really obnoxious to deal with though.

But we're still three months out and it seems like they're committed to balance, including toning down Raiden's lightning if needed.

MK11 news of the day.

Shao Khan will actually be a part of the story mode this time, since people expressed disappointment in the pre-order characters Goro and Darkseid being uninvolved in their previous two games!

Good news! I think it would also be pretty hard to not include him in a story about time travelling back to when he was the main antagonist.

I think MK is the only fighting game series where I've seen people complain about old characters being included instead of going with entirely new casts + the one female character they happen to want this time every single game.

It's so weird.

I think that there's such a large cast of characters from the 2D era that people would want to see their take on Kano's son who was teased or another character who we don't see as often as Kano who makes it to most iterations of the game.

I personally think Kano is quite a delight. There's really nobody as big of a scumbag as him in MK. He fits an interesting little part where he's just a greasy merc who is happy to do anything or betray anyone to get his slice.

Sonya is kinda boring though. She just has nothing really going on, because even as a hardened military badass, she has almost no personality. I think they missed a boat on making her kind of ease up after being with Johnny. Like, she could have let some of him rub off on her and she could do more than just crack extremely dry, sardonic jokes.

Oh, I understand some people are tired of, say, Sonya or Kano. But it extends beyond that.

Like, the MK11 boards here are full of people going "It's bad enough we have to have Sub-Zero and Scorpion and Raiden again. I don't want Reptile/Johnny/Cyrax/Kitana/etc. I want new characters. Oh, and Frost.

People don't seem to want ANY classic characters back. But do want random 3D-era females back.

It's kinda weird but I think those people are just the most vocal, honestly. I haven't seen really anyone be upset over the likes of Sub-Zero, Scorpion, or Raiden in it, but I do see a lot of very broad opinions from MK fans.

It is odd. And I don't actually mind them trying to take a crack at some of the 3D era characters except obvious lost causes like Dairou, Jarek, and Hsu Hao. I think they can make some of them interesting now.

almost definitely. The first scene they showed ofthe new game's story directly follows the end of the last game.

also if you enjoyed 9 you should play 10 anyway. It's similarly good.

I just want a mix of older and newer characters. I speak as a former webmaster of the largest MK fansite online and having personally met Ed Boon myself. I just get tired for reusing the same handful of characters from the first two games because I believe this series is better than that. They don't need to rely on nostalgia to be good; the pinnacle of MK storytelling to me was during Deadly Alliance and Deception, because it proved how good they were at world building and telling new stories without relying on ninja palettes.

It's grating to me how they've kinda fallen back into this pattern of "we can't advance this new timeline beyond MK4 because sales tapered off". Sales only really failed the later 3D games because frankly, they were not well designed from a gameplay standpoint. No one denies that much I think; Mortal Kombat as a respected competitive fighter is something relatively new (discounting UMK3). I just think they can make great games now, and they can do it with a variety of fresher characters that have never really gotten the chance to shine in a game that actually functions well as a fighter.

I just didn't have the drive to go all the way with it like MK9

I'm sort of with you I think. I'd like to see at least a few more 3D era characters return, but also... a lot of those guys were pretty lame. Who would you want to see come back?

I'll be legit annoyed if Fujin isn't in this one finally. Also I'd like to see Havik again... maybe Hotaro could be alright too. And I always thought Mavado had a cool look even if he was just stealing Kabal's hook swords.

Mostly I just hope they don't abandon all the new characters from X. D'Vorah, Erron, and Kotal should get another shot... and at least a couple of the kids too.

Mavado actually had a good storyline and freshened up that dreadful Black Dragon/Special Forces crap that I was just talking about. Nitara would be nice to see again. Even though her name was dropped in a backhanded way, Frost is also a good idea. Better than all those "Kombat Kids" they decided to go with.

The Chaos/Order story ideas were good. I liked Shujinko as well.

I'd take Frost over the Kombat Kids, atleast, yeah. And I wasn't really trying to put Frost down. It was just an example of a trend where the people being noisy about not wanting returning characters always seem to want one returning character and it's almost always a 3D female. It's kinda amusing.

I could maybe be into Nitara if they sort of drastically change how she looked.

Frost is meh for me, but I don't really remember her personality. Maybe she'd be cool.

also when I talk about the kids I really just mean Cassie. I want all the Cages I can get. Although I did think Takeda's whip things were cool too.

I think the only new character (ie from PS2 or later) I particularly like is Kenshi. I could give or take most of them.

That being said most of them are kinda better than the stuff from MK3 or later, I'd rather see Nitara or Havik than Sheeva or Kabal. And I'd probably rather see a new character than any of them. MK1 and MK2 rosters are the only ones I think need to be transferred in full.
