Generally a lot of the lower tiers got some great buffs with other characters getting some tweaks here and there. Best to check the current changes near the bottom of the post since this is a pretty significant patch.
EDIT:Koma beat me to it
I might play some tonight.
<3 They did him good. They did him soooooooo good.
My latest PS3 had some problems with freezing screen when pressing any button while loading so I sold it and got a 360 now with MK . The gameplay seems rather inconvinient though due to the position of the Dpad in 360's original joypad.I prefered the ps3's to be honest for this game :/
I prefer the PS3 for pretty much every fighting game. =3

PS3's controller is great IMO for MK and generally fighting games.Now with the 360's Im dropping sometimes my combos.I need a 360 controller with a Dpad like PS3's where I do exactly what I want.With the 360's original controller the problem is not only the Dpad itself (Im having problems with the directions) but its place as well (I would be a lot happier if it was in analog stick's place)
Groovy.
girly squeel
However, MK10 won't be coming out for a while. They're working on other games. Biggest rumors are either an MK adventure game (seems most likely, and might be "Fire and Ice") or the return of Killer Instinct.
Shaolin Monks 2 it seems.
I'm all for it!
When Mortal Kombat was in its rut, Shaolin Monks is probably the best game that was put out that nobody played. I remember thinking how cool it would be at the time if they expanded the Vs. mode of SM into a stand alone game of its own right with the Power Stone/Ehrgiez style free roaming 3D gameplay with weapons and boxes and crap to use against your opponent.
I'm down for Shaolin Monks 2, but from the looks of things in the plot, I doubt it will star Liu Kang and Kung Lao like last time. Not to mention, SM didn't have the best writing either. But that's debate for another time.
Boon's been wanting to do "Fire and Ice", a Sub-Zero and Scorpion adventure game, for quite some time.
With the decent story mode they had with MK9 and the current talent they have on board, a new adventure game sounds pretty tight.
Not to mention that Sub Zero's ending in arcade mode pretty much sets up the story for both of them, I think "Fire and Ice" was intended to play in a manner similar to "Shaolin Monks" anyway, at least thats what Boon suggested when he brought up the game quite some time ago.

Vs. mode of SM was a blast. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Coop was really weird though.

I wasn't a big fan of having to share a lifebar and how to you had to play it to get everything. Since I have no one to play with, this makes things a bit inconvient.

This is why it's important for parents to have two children within 2-5 year age gap at minimum. This should be a PSA. Seriously.
Anyways, enough self-pity. On the topic of Fire and Ice, if memory serves correct, around the end of MK3, Scorpion, who was on Kahn's side, eventually defects. Since Shaolin Monks was a mostly non-canon twist on MK2, I could imagine it would take place in MK3 and maybe a little, teeny bit of MK4, maybe.
Now that I think about it, if you beat SM couldn't you play as Sub/Scorp anyway?

Yes, but exactly the same as Kung Lao and Liu Kang, even having their voices still.

That's correct, still not the same though.
If I remember correctly, they didn't have cutscenes though.
I would love to see them make a Scorpion and Sub-Zero game like they orignally planned (in Shaolin Monks style of course),
That's correct, still not the same though.

It was literally the exact same game with the skins, models and moves changed to be for Sub Zero and Scorpion, there weren't any differences to the story, cutscenes, voices or names.
It would be AWeSOME though If Boon is going to bring back the Killer Instinct game, having obviously taken the rights first from "rareware" and "Nintendo" , there could be a crossover between the 2 Fightings although the game mechanics are totally different .
Fire and Ice can be a game that links MK9 and the forthcoming MK10:Revenge of the Fallen elder God! (that is my title do you like it?^^)
So yeah, they are porting MK9 for the PS Vita. Apparently, the game will have exclusive features that will be revealed as time goes on.
A portable version of a game I spent all summer playing? Yeah. I'm sold. I doubt it will have any new characters. I heard it will have Kratos, and the 360 fans are raging about that. If anything, I think it might get special mini-games or maybe something small. Definitely should get all the DLC characters and skins.

…..................Why?
^What I said.
360 fans time to bitch about Kratos has passed…
He's also a crappy character btw. Didn't they know?
You must be dreaming, Kratos is a damn monster.
I just don't like him.
But since it's you saying it, i'll take your word for it! lol
Nothing speical, I just thought it was freaking hilarious.
On Twitter:
InfernoSoul: ****what's your beef with xbox!? lol it's not that bad of a console!
Noobde: We really going back to that conversation?****
In all seriousness, 360 players feel neglected, and god knows, we still have to play the stupid fucking console wars game.
As a character, I like Kratos. But he fucking sucks in Mortal Kombat. And it annoys me that fatalities on him were altered. Sony requested that Kratos be treated with respect by making sure that Kratos doesn't show fear when dying or is humiliated in his fatality. This is why Kratos pretty much accept being dragged through Kung Lao's buzzsaw fatality, and why Johnny Cage doesn't slam his award into Kratos' split skull.
It's also been stated that that is the exact reason no 360 characters were added. People felt uncomfortable having characters like Master Chief or Marcus Fenix going through the humiliating deaths they could go through.
…....All this, and yet Freddy, a horror movie legend of over two decades, can make a 'derp' pose after Cyber Sub-Zero's fatality, or accept any horrifying or embarrassing fatality by that matter, without any shift in personality or attitude.
To be fair though, WB does have the rights to the character after all, but still….
Let me preface this by saying I own a PS3, 360 (which I play the most) and a Wii.
Alot of 360 gamers are like insecure little kids: Whenever they get the newest thing first, or only for them, they love to shove it in others face but when thet aren't included in content they throw tantrums and raise a stink about it.
I own all three, and the 360 used to be my favorite. I felt the same way as well.
Due to having all my fighting games on the PS3, I've recently moved my PS3 to my room, so I play PS3 more often.

That was intentional? I though that was a glitch. Now I'm angry. >:(

Be mad at Sony. NRS and WB were perfectly fine doing those things to Freddy. Kratos? The guy who's been sent to Hell and back constantly? They better treat him like a god damn lady!!!
That's the whole reason they don't wanna do a MK vs. SF, they don't think fans wanna see Ryu get his torso torn off…........Although a decapitating Shoryuken would be pretty nice.
I think Capcom has far more issues with it than NRS. Not that I think Capcom is wrong for thinking that. Still, I'm not interested in MK vs SF.

Being curbstomped, chainsawed in half, set on fire, used as a human shield, or being blown into chunks aren't humiliating in their own right?

You're thinking the exact same thing I've always been thinking. I guess not.
Some gamer's just don't care about logic these days.
Don't talk about logic to the God of War fans when playing MK9. They freak out saying, "NO! (Insert character here) would NEVER beat Kratos! NEVER NEVER NEVER! Kratos would never die like that!" I'm not even talking about Stryker (who I confess with a straight face that he would lose that fight). I'm talking Scorpion, Raiden, or Shao Kahn. Kratos might not be raped by them, but….serious GoW fans, grow up.
......This is why I like Freddy being in the game. Freddy has died billions of times. No big deal.

T](http://uk.gamespot.com/mortal-kombat-2011/videos/kombat-in-your-hands-6349511/index.html)he video isn't working at the moment, but MK: Vita has been confirmed to have:
-16 new costumes exclusive to the Vita (so far, the costumes include one for each of the DLC characters, and one for Mileena, her MK2 costume)
-150 new challenges, using the PS Vita's touch screen.
Look like I'm getting a Vita.
I'm pissed I missed taking a picture of Cyrax/Sektor at Ohayocon but w/e. Entered the tourney there and won: A few nice players in the tournament but I ended up getting two of the best; The guy who beat me in the finals at Matsuricon and his brother in the first and final rounds respectively.
Congrats man! Who do you use btw?
Sonya is my main.
I can competently use Liu Kang, Mileena, Shang Tsung, Scorpion, Nightwolf, Stryker, Sektor, Cyrax, Kitana and Reptile.

Doesn't Shang Tsung use everybody? Or is that just how the boss fight is… Not near my PS3 right now.
Yeah, it's just the boss fight. He can soul steal and become his opponent but that's it.
