Trailer for the Briggs family.
Mortal Kombat X
-
-
Why is Jax human and Kung Lao still an undead?
-
a) Kung Lao is never saved from the events of the Netherrealm War.
b) Jax was saved after Shinnok was defeated, and they're going to save Kung Lao and the remainder from Quan Chi.Kung Lao may have a human appearance in the game, but that might not mean he's saved during the beginning events.
-
I might be more interested in the lore and narrative of the game (even if MK9 had some questionable twists. And I say questionable cause I'm feeling generous today) than in the game itself. A passing of the torch storyline that spans 25 years? Entire families duking it out against the hordes of the underworld? That's a scope even few RPG's attempt, much less a fighting game.
Also, these might be the nicest looking fighting arenas ever. It's like every arena tells a different story from a different realm. Apparently Boon wanted the players to get into the game's universe as much as possible, and I say from an atmosphere and setting angle, they nailed it.
Now, the absolutely excessive gore. . .not a fan. I feel like it banalizes what otherwise looks like a totally legit and well crafted universe and mythology. I know the MK origins lie on the adoration/parody of cheap b-movies, but I feel they're kind of pushing it right now.
But I'm weird like that, I guess?
-
I'm so bad. Every time I see Kano now all I can see is him sitting in the Bad Guys Annonymous group in Wreck-It Ralph.

But didn't he and Liu Kang fight a bunch of Tarkata in their regular forms in the reveal trailer?

lol Him sitting backwards on the chair like he's the edgiest character there.
@S.C.:
But didn't he and Liu Kang fight a bunch of Tarkata in their regular forms in the reveal trailer?
True. Then perhaps it is the second option. After defeating Shinnok, Jax will be revived and he'll help the others save Kung Lao and the remainder.
I'm curious as to who will be left behind. Only ones we know for sure are Kitana and Sindel, as they are seen fighting Cassie and Jacqui in the future.

A new stream starts in jut 40 or so minutes.

Just had time to watch the Briggs family trailer and two things.
1. Nice to see Jacqui's real name isn't Jacqui
2. Ermac apparently wants the pussy by any means necessary :OAnd seeing how the update is late I guess I quote explain Kenshi & Sonya's Variations
Kenshi has the Balanced, Possessed, & Kenjustu variations
Balanced: Kenshi uses his TK abilities to perform some killer combos and to keep enemies at a distance and can act as an anti-air fighter.
Possessed: Kenshi summons a spirit warrior to push enemies back and slash enemies from a distance. This variation is for chunk damage and not necessarily for big combos.
Kenjustsu: He uses his TK abilities in a similar way to his MK9 and MK4 where he uses a TK push and grab from afar. He uses his sword as an anti-air attack and can allow for some combo juggling.
Sonya has Covert Ops, Demolition, & Special Forces
Covert Ops: This style is all about countering and grabs. Sonya uses her wires to counter attacks. There are a few different counter-grabs that will change the opponent's stance at the end so that Sonya can combo. Sonya also has an air throw. Sonya can also enter her military stance to do even more and different attacks.
Demolition: Demolition variation is all about grenades. You start with three and you have two different kinds. There's a stun and frag grenade. When you run out of grenades, you call the drone to replenish your grenades. You can detonate them early if an enemy is too close. And if you EX the drone special, you can have the drone throw grenades to help you.
Special Forces: Special Forces is Sonya's final variation. In this variation, sonya can call in the drone which just hovers there so you can use to attack. It's timed so it won't stay there forever and it can be put away. The drone can fire laser shots, homing missiles and you can have the drone rush the enemy and explode either high or medium.
-
Thank you, GvR. I wasn't able to watch today. Really busy day.
-
So wait, Erron Black never has to reload his six-shooters, but Sonya does for grenades? Hmm.
-
So it looks like we have our final roster.
[hide][/hide]
Word of mouth is currently stating that we still haven't seen the 'unlockable character(s)' from Story Mode. Haven't heard anything beyond petty rumors. Most believable is 'Human Hanzo'. If it's not that, then my guess is either Smoke or Havik.

Sadly, I'm still not satisfied with this roster… This game would be a great moment to reintroduce Havik and Reiko... Maybe they are planning to have 4 more DLC...33 is a solid number

Then who is the question mark?
I also assume that Jason Voorhese and Predator are add-ons.
-

The question mark MIGHT be random. It could also be the 'unlockable character' you get from beating Story Mode.
Either way, yeah, we still have to figure out where the slots are going to be for Jason Voorhese, Predator, Tanya, and Tremor.
-
No Sektor/Cyrax?
-
This post is deleted!
-
No Sektor/Cyrax?
From the looks of it, no.
There is a new mode called "Custom Kombat" where you can choose various buffs and debuffs to place on your opponents. Among the buffs are 'character assist' where off-screen a specific character uses attacks to support you. "Stryker Assist" has him throwing grenades, "Kabal Assist" has him spinning his floor blades, "Rain Assist" has him entrapping the enemy in bubbles. Cyrax is included in this mix with his timed bombs.
There's a strong possibility that all these assists confirm their lack of inclusion. Sektor hasn't been shown among these, though. Still, it's unlikely at this point.
I wouldn't doubt their story cameo though. The Lin Kuei is still very much important.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
I'm happy I pre-ordered.
Not going to lie: I was worried Goro was going to suffer from Mortal Kombat Trilogy boss character issues, but he seems he should be fine.
-
I somehow managed to forget Goro has been able to shoot (breathe) fire since Mortal Kombat 1.
-
So Story Mode is starting to have a bunch of leaks. A lot of character deaths that I can't confirm, and even if I could, I wouldn't reveal unless you guys really wanted me to.
That said, I can confirm something else of interest. It's not a story spoiler, but it's something interesting about 'characters who may or may not be playable'.
[hide]Within the events of the story, you will fight NPCs. Yes, characters that you can't play as will be fightable.
More specifically, during D'Vorah's chapter: You will fight BOTH Rain and Tanya in ACTUAL kombat. Neither showed any signs of their 'alternate movesets', but they had unique fighting styles. Can't really confirm too much since both characters got their asses handed to them.
Considering the fact that Tanya is confirmed DLC, this may or may not be a possibility for Rain. I wouldn't get my hopes up though.
If you want proof,
That said… Tanya is white.
[/hide]And now, for some bad news that isn't really a spoiler: Shinnok seems to be confirmed to be the 'unlockable character' that you obtain after beating Story Mode. If this is 100% true, then the roster you saw above is the final roster without DLC.
ALSO, confirmation that you can actually SKIP fights within the story so you can just watch the story instead of play the game. Can't confirm this for major fights, but from the looks of it, you can skip majority of the fights and just watch.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
The videos got removed. I'm actually happy. Leaves us in more mystery.

It would seem that the entirety of MKX's story has been leaked. There are some holes, but I've seen the jist of it. I won't spoil anything, but here are some notes:
[hide]1. I’m disappointed, but I was expecting the worst anyway. This story isn’t the worst. The endings and character deaths everyone else was talking about was what got me worried. Now? There are maybe two character deaths that I’m legitimately disappointed about, but… oh well.
2. If you are here for Johnny Cage or Sonya, you will have some fun with this story.
3. If you are here for the new generation characters (Cassie, Jacqui, Takeda, Kung Jin), you will have some fun with this story.
4. If you are here for the Kotal Kahn Rangers, you will have some disappointment and you may like the comic better than the story.
5. Takeda is adorable, sweet, and far too pure for this franchise, and the fact that he’s the apprentice of Scorpion tells me that either Hanzo has a soft side or Takeda just has a massive streak of wanting to be happy no matter what.
6. Jacqui turned out a lot better than I thought, and I might like her better than Cassie.
7. I wish there was more Erron Black.
8. Erron Black’s alternate costume is tasty as fuck.
9. My Erron Black theory seems to be false.
10. Tanya has devolved from ‘goddess of betrayal and discord’ to ‘Mean Girls wannabe’.
11. If you’re reading the comic like I am, do not expect half the characters you see in the comic. While the game has a lot of cameos, many of the major comic characters don’t show up.12. There is a brand new romance that sprouts between two of the new characters, and it is by far the cutest thing ever.[/hide]
Also! We have a new comic!
[hide]-Hanzo and Takeda face off against Sub-Zero, who has gone berserk with the Kamidogu.
-Sub-Zero knocks Hanzo out, who is slowly turning into Scorpion.
-Sub-Zero creates a massive blast of ice that freezes nearly half the city, including both Hanzo and Takeda.
-Sub-Zero suddenly breaks free from the Kamidogu's control, shocked and confused by what he's done.
-Scorpion suddenly breaks out of the ice, ready to kill Sub-Zero.-Sonya, Kotal Kahn and Johnny discuss plans on how they will defeat the Shokan who are marching their way.
-Kotal is prepared to face off against their champion (probably Kintaro) in order to end the battle before it gets out of hand.
-The Shokan army arrives. Kotal is shocked by how small the army is, but then terrified by something new in their army: Giant oni's stand with the Shokan. Kotal does not know how this battle may pan out.[/hide]Yeah, not too much happened. Lot of pointless dialogue.

Oi Insider…
Could you maybe give me per PM a small summary about the story mode?
And why someone is "dark" at the end
-
New trailer is out. The music kinda ruins the mood though (Chop Suey is so overused)

Remember when everyone whined about "Can't Be Stopped" (what a difference a few months makes):ninja:.
-
Okay, so we have something interesting. It's a very, very, very tiny character spoiler. It has nothing to do with the plot, but it's something Mortal Kombat has never done.
So, we know Kung Jin, right?
![](http://www.gamemag.it/immagini/mkx_Kung Jin.jpg)
So, within the context of the story, we find out he's a former thief. In the past, Raiden prevents him from stealing something from the Shaolin, and with this prevention, Raiden tries to convince Kung Jin to join the Shaolin, himself, to redeem himself.
Raiden: "Self-loathing has always been an unfortunate part of your makeup."
when offering Kung Jin to join the Shaolin
Kung Jin: "I can't… They wouldn't accept me..."
Raiden: "They care only about what is in your heart, not whom your heart desires."Ladies and gentlemen... Mortal Kombat has their first openly homosexual character. From what I can tell, there's no one he can hook up with, but the fact that we have a gay character is pretty neat.
-
Now that's a good thing!
And a reason to look for Kung Jin once I start playing since his design didn't really caught my attention..

…
Oh my god, next week can't come soon enough. I haven't been this hyped for a launch since JoJo:ASB. -
Done. Netherrealm can retire. This is the best fatality of all time.

So good it made Warner Bros. slap copyrights on it:ninja:.
-
The MKX mobile phone game came out. It's free and pretty fun. If you played the Injustice mobile game, it's very similar, but has fatalities during boss battles. It is one of those 'pay money to advance through the game faster', but you don't have to.
My first Silver cards have been Kano and Kotal Kahn. I await my full party of gold Sub-Zero, gold Kitana, and gold Sonya or Cassie.
Also…

Ha! This joke totally went over my head until I saw the video was cut. Oh well. We'll all see it soon enough. Let's just say that it cameos a lot of characters from the franchise.
-
I see you can unlock some things in the mobile game by playing the console one. Is the opposite also truth?
EDIT: My first silver was Reptile, he is my favorite classic character (D'Vorah will probably take his place from now on), so it's a good start.
-
@.access:

Probably. It worked that way in Injustice. It'd be nice to get some easy coin.
Currently stuck on a tower where you get Kitana on your team. The final boss is Reptile and he is broken.
-
The game is kinda boring, but I will keep playing in case I can get some extra skins in the PS4 through it. Just saw there are at least two costumes you get this way (Mimic Johnny and Farmer Jax).
-

He's not broken he's just tired of being walked on and disrespected.
-
God knows all I want for this game now is that Reptile leaves his status as "fodder to be defeated in your first fight" behind. I hope they didn't gave him the ability to speak just so he have more elaborate last words.
-
If anything is good for him, he's no longer working for a complete villain who doesn't care about him. Kotal isn't a saint or anything, but he is by far the first and only character I can truly believe respects and cares for Reptile. I can totally imagine Reptile asking Kotal for service, and Kotal responding with, "I do not possess the abilities to bring your people back to life, but I can ensure that by my side, you will never be alone."
That's what Reptile needs: a family. :happy:
-
They both need something considering Kotal's circumstances.
And I thought Mileena's 1st Fatality was messed u,p 2nd one isn't too damn better
-
OK guys I'm out… My man Reptile is waiting for me... Just some minutes to go and the game is installed <3
-
my game shipped i cant wait
-
Okay, so since the game is just about out, I think it's a good idea if we state what systems we're on.
I'll be on PS4 under my username: GoldProdigy.
-
i got the ps4 version my psn is cpuguy18.
-
Is Goro not working for you guys as well… Somehow my code won't be accepted
-
My game hasn't come in yet. :sad:
They might not be accepting the code yet.
-
I bought the digital version, but everything is downloaded and installed, Goro included.
btw, PS4, username guigaccess
-
My PS4 username is almost the same as on here, MagiciteKefka1. Me and my boyfriend are gonna be sharing the game, so I might play on his account from time to time. He is after all so much more excited for this game than I am, and I am really excited!
-
Btw Insider something new about the comic?
-
Just noticed the new comic came out. I'll post in a bit. Hearing rumors of a second season. If they plan on making a Kombat comic series without the need of Mortal Kombat X, I would be on-board for that.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
Okay, let's get this rolling! This won't be too long.
[hide]-Kotal Kahn and Sonya prepare for the attack from the Shokan and the Oni.
-Reptile has an army ready to fight.
-Johnny and a huge line of snipers are lined up at the castle wall, ready to fire.
-Johnny tries to flirt with Sonya, but Sonya is having none of it.
-Kotal Kahn sends D'Vorah and Ferra/Torr to deliver a parley treaty to the Shokan in order to avoid battle.
-Take note: Ferra is riding on Torr's back, and Torr is riding on top of a T-Rex. Ferra riding Torr riding a T-Rex.
-Kintaro smacks the treaty right out of D'Vorah's hand.
-An Oni lifts a massive tree log and slams it against the castle wall.
-Sonya calls for Johnny, but there is no response.-Sub-Zero is somehow free from his possession, but Hanzo is prepared to kill him.
-Hanzo, who has gone full Scorpion, summons demons to hold Sub-Zero down as he stabs both of his blades into his chest.
-As Sub-Zero bleeds, he begs for Hanzo's forgiveness.
-Sub-Zero sobs over the horrible things he was forced to do and witness when he was under Quan Chi's control.
-Scorpion retorts with his own pain of never being able to see his wife and child again. He still blames Sub-Zero and the Lin Kuei.
-Scorpion takes off his mask and reveals his flaming skull, prepared to roast Scorpion with his flame breath.
-Takeda screams and intervenes, telling him not to give in to the demon.
-Takeda has the Kamidogu that Sub-Zero was previoiusly holding. They can return it to Raiden and be rid of it.
-Scorpion screams in rage. As he screams, the flames of vengeance leave him. Hanzo returns.
-Hanzo removes the swords from Sub-Zero and leave him, uncaring as to whether Sub-Zero recovers from the wounds.
-Sub-Zero passes out and his blood forms the famous dragon symbol of Mortal Kombat. (weird…)[/hide]So possessed Sub-Zero has been resolved, and Kotal Kahn vs the Shokan has just begun. I'm hoping we see more of Cassie and Jacqui meeting Havik.
-
! -Johnny tries to flirt with Johnny, but Sonya is having none of it.
Somebody's feeling themselves huh.
-
PFFFFFFT! God dammit, I fixed it. I now want an alternate story where Johnny Cage meets Johnny Cage in another dimension and they're all over each other. "I'm so pretty!" "I know!" "I'd totally do me!"
-
I knew it was a typo but it still seemed legit:ninja:.
-
To celebrate:
