I MIGHT be online tonight, but I'm having a very busy week. It's my niece's birthday, and everyone is up to their knees in preparation. I have to rehearse for a puppet muppet show.
I'll try to be on tonight, but don't get your hopes up.
@S.C.:
I liked the concept for Drahmin, as he was the first Oni character, but he looked more like a burn victim then a demon and played like crap. If they have a new Demon character that actually looks like one for the sequel that replaces him, I'm fine with that.
Yeah, but they could revamp Drahmin's appearance entirely. I'm not a big fan of his appearance either, but I love his background and story.
Meh. I have a feeling the next game will be Netherrealm focused, so a new Oni would be awesome.
@competitionbros:
People can't appreciate anything: Today is the second time I was approached to lose on purpose so my opponent can get the "outstanding" trophy. Both times I agreed and both times my opponent did a finishing move after the match: A fatality and a babality.
Sorry.
I've actually gotten lucky and found a few nice people who didn't. I did have one match where I requested for him not to, and he actually followed through.
I don't mind fatalities. If I'm facing someone who generally doesn't use them on me, I won't use them.
In terms of feeling whether a Fatality is mean spirited or not, really….it's online. Unless you have a mic, you can't really know what the opponent is feeling until AFTER the match. I can't say that a Fatality feels any different than 'being shoved aside with a simply Front Punch'.
@thewizardkoma:
Eh it's very possible they're doing Fatalities for the mastery trophies since you need to perform like 100 of em.
I can understand that, but I can't see people actually doing it with every character. Granted, I did it with Stryker (whom I have well over 500 fatalities with), Milleena (whom I recently met the quota with), and Cyber. But I don't really have enough time to go through the whole roster online.
I'm working on 'My Kung Fu is Stronger' right now, in fact. Almost completed the whole left side of the Nekropolis.
Hilarity: I'm working on Kung Lao's X-Rays, so I go to Tag Versus with three rounds and unlimited X-Ray (4-6-6 4-6-6). Kung Lao can chain his X-Ray to INFINITY! Seriously! I just performed a 20 Hit Combo with 106% damage on Baraka. You just corner your enemy and press the X-Ray button everytime it ends.
