Guy is streaming story mode right now. For those who like spoilers.
Mortal Kombat 9
-
-
After watching Sheeva's and Smoke's fatalities, I can imagine Meat to be a DLC character. Sheeva's is especially brutal in this one.
Also, just saw Mileena's alt outfit. That's not an outfit. that's just bandages.
-
WTF…
I was watching videos from that stream and, when they ended, all the MK ones are deleted now.
So the story had a bunch of alts. in it.
-
In the hospital waiting room right now.
A large amount of Story Mode cutscenes have been released. Watching them without sound, since I'm in a public place.
My feelings?
EFFORT! HONEST TO GOD EFFORT! THIS IS HOW YOU DO A STORY MODE!Also, without spoiling too much, they gave a bit of a hint of some Johnny x Sonya. Nothing physical, but some cute contact.
Not clips of Stryker at the moment.
The transitions between combat and cutscene are fantastic!
-

Not really. It's more Johnny trying and failing.

How can you do that…?

Shut up, you goddamn shipper.

It seems Insider was right about Ermac having a f**ed-up face:
-
So i just watched like… maybe a few minutes of Johnny Kage's story mode... and DAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYUUUUUMMMM!!!!
It's AWESOME! Like Insider said.. THIS IS EFFORT!!! I mean, I just wanted a cool fighting game, but this is exceeding ALL of my expectations! It's got personality, humor, CHARACTER, and it's well voice acted and just well fucking done (love the transitions from fights too man)!
I hate to say this, but SHOW CAPCOM HOW A FRANCHISE IS DONE NEATHEREALM!
I'm fucking excited for Mortal Kombat again!!! It's like i'm a kid!!!
TUESDAY BITCHES!!!
-
Are we doing this launch tourney? If not I'm gonna ask my friend if I can borrow his.
-
…I will not take back the fact that this Story Mode was done with complete effort and devotion. But the story itself...
I just witnessed the ending, and an important scene...
If certain things stay the way they do, then I'm not happy. Not happy at all with the story.
Again, Story Mode looks FANTASTIC and will be a blast to play. This entire game will be a blast.
I'm just very annoyed by the ending. However, considering what this series is, I have faith that the sequel COULD redeem it. But I also have fear..
-
How the fuck could you just spoil yourself like that? Really…? Talk about impatience. I just don't quite understand...
Whatever.
Enough "story mode" talk or tag that shit under spoilers.I do not want to know "hot terrible the ending is" or "how it's going to change the series."
Shut up! :getlost:
-
I always spoil the ending for myself. Tis my job.
If anything…(vague spoilers)
! I'm pretty much screwed in contrast to majority of you.

@S.C.:
It seems Insider was right about Ermac having a f**ed-up face:
Jesus. What nightmare in Hell did you spawn from, Ermac?
-
That's fucking stupid!
"Hey! You want to watch a movie with us Insider?"
"Sure you guys~ Oh, but hold on~!"
"Why?"
"I need to find a bootleg and catch the last fifteen minutes of the movie before I go."
"What…? ...why?"
"It's what I do."You're like... slightly wasting money.
Whatever. That's on you, though.
-
I'm not concerned about what I think Insider is talking about:
! The death and enslavements of Nightwolf, Kitana and Kung Lao or Sub-Zero becoming a cyborg
because both can be easily fixed by the next game if fan reception shits on it too much. I'm more upset about
! Motaro's anti-climactic death.
-
I'll stop talking about it.
That's fucking stupid!

Hell no! If there is anything I enjoy, it's the process from point A to point B. I've spoiled dozens of movies for myself, and then watched them. I don't HAVE to do it, but I just generally do it. I enjoy the movie/game either way. My main concern is….something else outside this single game.
And I didn't learn the information JUST from a video.
Forget I mentioned anything.
-
I'm still trying to figure out… why... and now I have a goddamn headache.
I'm just going to call you an "idiot" and move on, okay? Alright.
Idiot.
-
Dawwww. This made me feel better.

I'm cool with that.
-
Cuteness. Anger. Adorableness. Rage.
…what?
-
Noob playthrough:
Beast characters for me (so far): Sonya, Liu Kang, Johnny Cage, Kitana, Kung Lao.
-
Agreed and moving on. Like Gekko said, the story mode is superb, really irons out the details we couldn't get from the old games. Like adding more people to both sides that later were introduced like Nightwolf, Ermac and Baraka. Cage is funny as Hell, as plays good from what videos I've seen.
And I'm completly stoked for the remake of MK4 on the horizon. I assume with the knowledge of Quan Chi being active that's not a spoiler.
-
Again, the story is great. Well made and amazing effort was brought to it. No complaints on Story Mode overall.
-
I really respect Netherlands for making the effort to make an entertaining story mode. Johnny owns everything so "far Dam dam dam !"
-
Ah, I just thought of something. Besides Rain, I think the game needed Reiko, Mavado and Bo Rai' Cho for story purposes. Reiko being Kahn's general, Mavado seemingly having his hooks into things like this and Cho being active in the third part.
Well, I know at least Reiko will be in for the sequel. Probably Mavado replacing Jarek, since no one really likes him.
-
I just found out that the waterfall stage (especially the Night version) that I liked in Mortal Kombat 9 is a fucking remake of one of my favorite Mortal Kombat stages/music "Warrior's Shrine":
I. Need. To. Find. That. Fucking. Stage's. Music. Now.
-
Some good spoilers that I'm not going to hide: RAGE QUIT PENALTIES EXIST! They haven't been stated, but they will be told.

Yeah, they made Johnny beast in this game.

I'm 90% sure that the new comers of MK4 will be in the next game.
-
Gave each character a bit of a play (before my friend took his game back….......bastard) and I have to say that I did not find a character that I couldn't see myself maining. With that said, mains right now are Liu Kang and Sonya.
-
Here is my final take on the story mode.
! The developers have made a lot of effort on the story. The most positive things were undeniabelly Johnny Cage's hilarious personality. Jade, Kitana and Mileena were smexy. The first 2 acts were ok. The plot was entertaining and had some decent surprises.
However, there were some major flaws. There were a lot of inconsitencies in terms of strenght between the characters and the storyline. A weakling could pown the strongest foes after being owned in the previous act without good reasons.
! Almost everyone is dead, they killed Kitana and Liu Kang WTF !!!!!!!!!!!! Isn't that a reboot. These deaths were totally pointless and it totally goes against the purpose of a reboot.
! Too many characters are used in the story. It is very easy to be confused and some characters introduced were just pointless.
! Overrall, it is decent but it could have been better -
! These deaths were totally pointless and it totally goes against the purpose of a reboot.
! The purpose of a reboot is to offer a new take on something old and I really don't see how any of the deaths outside of Liu Kang's go against that.
-
! The purpose of a reboot is to offer a new take on something old and I really don't see how any of the deaths outside of Liu Kang's go against that.
! Okay, so now that two of us are on even terms…
! STRYKER IS NEVER COMING BACK! Even if they brought back some of the cast, Stryker would be the last one they bring back.
! A punch in the face...A PUNCH TO THE FUCKING FACE IS WHAT KILLS HIM!
! Why do I pick the favorite characters that also get fucked over.... -
! Stop whining. All of the dead heroes will be in a Onaga situation for the sequel, and it would be mighty odd if suddenly Stryker or Smoke or whoever suddenly isn't with them, is it not?
! Have a little faith in them trying to make the stakes bigger and make Shinnok a true threat. -
! Tch. Fine, but I'm calling it. He won't be there.
! Although, Sub-Zero getting killed by an uppercut is retarded.
! Otherwise, no complaints. I'm okay with the story.
! I can't believe a game made me realize how awesome Nightwolf is and how fucking stupid Raiden is. -
oh my..what an epic trailer..can't believe what I just saw ^^
-
! Story mode is actually a huge joke. In MKII, Johnny Cage dies. In MK9, everyone except Johnny dies.
! Also no one ever really dies in Mortal Kombat (unless you're Hsu Hao), so no worries. -
! Okay, so now that two of us are on even terms…
! STRYKER IS NEVER COMING BACK! Even if they brought back some of the cast, Stryker would be the last one they bring back.

If you're into "I was God-tier" Kabal and "I'm MK's Dan" Reptile, then these pro-player videos are for you:
In other news, here's the prize you win, whenever you beat all 300 challenges in the Challenge Tower:
! The Trophy/Achievement is called "Best… Alternate... Ever..."
! However, why isn't she naked…?! :getlost:Oh, and I'm totally impressed with the alternate costumes like Kitana's~
Stop standing next to boring ass Ry– I mean, Liu Kang goddammit!
Kitana seriously has a gruesome ass second Fatality!
I fucking hope you can pick "Color 2." Please…By the way…
! Sexy time.
-
Did I miss something?
When did people consider Reptile the Dan Hibiki of Mortal Kombat?

He's ass and he always get fucked over/disrespected.
Poor nigga.
-
Sheeva's fatality makes me smile.
Kitana's second is wonderfully awesome. Oh and I was reading the guide in back at work. It appears that everyone has two fatalities only (am I wrong on this? please let the guide just be shitty).
Mileena's flesh pits outfit is kinda lame. Naked would have been something, but I honestly think her normal outfit looks HELLA more sexy than that.
-
I'm sure the guide isn't going to tell everything, but there are four "_____lities."
-
Oh that's right! I don't even think the guide MENTIONED babalities! Laaaaaaame
-
So is the fourth Brutality or Friendship?
I gotta say, beyond my…...major issue..... Story Mode is pretty solid.
Minor spoilers:
! Kitana is adorable and well-developed, Liu Kang is the best he's been in a while, Sonya is pretty solid, Cage is Grade A Beast, Quan Chi is supreme douche (perfect!), Jade is fairly bad ass, Sub-Zero/CSZ is very well done, Smoke is fun but kind of an idiot, Kabal is bad ass, Stryker is immensely bad ass (and this is beyond my fandom speaking here), and NIGHTWOLF IS THE BADDEST MOTHER FUCKER AROUND!
! Unfortunately, Repitle IS the Dan of the game (being fodder every chance he gets), Ermac and Sheeva are on a similar boat. Mileena and Noob are somewhat ADVANCED fodder after they are introduced. Beyond that. Everyone is pretty much how you'd expected them.
! Except Raiden. Yeah, Raiden is the dumbest mother fucker to exist in a fighting game. -
Remember… Mortal Kombat (which they mentioned plenty of times during the development of MK9) is known for their secrets/easter eggs.
Shit... I think you don't even unlock via purchase the second Fatality, you have to input them yourself.
Although, I'm sure it's like: To unlock the second Fatality, you have to input them yourself in the "Fatality Practice Mode" or (waste koins by) unlocking them in the Krypt. There's Fatality, Babality, Brutality, and Boon hinted Friendship on Valentine's Day and rumor says Animality is in.Before anyone says anything, this isn't an Animality:
!
! The "Shaolin Dragon Fatality" appeared in Mortal Kombat II, which most of the Fatalities (sans MK3 characters) are from in MK9. Animalities appeared in MK3, which later became his Animality.Basically…
Everyone has TWO Fatalities and two random "_____lities."We know Cyrax and Kratos, as of now, are the only "Babality" users so far.

Although, I'm sure it's like: _To unlock the second Fatality, you have to input them yourself in the "Fatality Practice Mode" or (waste koins by) unlocking them in the Krypt.Which is a SLIGHT shame, because I like spending hours in the Krypt. It was the most worth while thing in the late MK games. But chances are, I'll save my coins for Alt costumes instead. Especially Stryker's costume that hugs his ass. :3
There's Fatality, Babality, Brutality, and Boon hinted Friendship on Valentine's Day and rumor says Animality is in.
Really? I've heard rumors of Friendship, but not one of Animality. I'm willing to have both in, but if I had to drop one…...it'd be Brutality.
And I know of Liu's second fatality.
Basically…
Everyone has TWO Fatalities and two random "_____lities."We know Cyrax and Kratos, as of now, are the only "Babality" users so far.
A part of me finds that to be a strange theory, especially considering the possibility that Cyrax would only use Babality…...I want my freaking cross leg dancing Cyrax Friendship.
Actually, I would kill for a "PEANUT BUTTER JELLY TIME" Friendship for Cyrax, but I'm sure that's out of the cards.Either way, it's possible, but it would be very strange._

Looking for "Charleston" champ.

Johnny Kage fucking rules
"Heyoooo!!"
annnnnnnnnnd Sektor has taken the title for my "most favorite fatality seen so far"
Holy shit!
Fatalities that make me laugh are the best ones.
-

Thank you. Didn't know the dance name. Sorry.

HAHAHA! Oh god.
He can pull sunglasses, autograph papers, a pen, and now Oscars out of his ass.
EDIT: Sektor's is awesome, yet disturbing. Perfect.
-
Meh. Those are badass and all… but best one goes to Scorpion's (who I'm tired of seeing) second Fatality:
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
Kabal got runner-up with his second Fatality:
Titfuck that bitch! -
I'm tired of seeing Scorpion too, but his second Fatality is bad ass. I've never been happier to not see 'Toasty' as a fatality.
