Luck, pure and simple.
Me and Gekko have a KOTH room open. Anyone wants to join, post here, tweet me, or shoot me a message on PSN. Just in case: PSN: GoldProdigy
I haven't picked up this game in a few months because I've been playing other stuff, but since Toshiya was kind enough to gameshare his MK DLC with me (thanks dude!), I decided to try to get back into the swing of things tonight.
And…wow. I have literally forgotten all my combos. Damn you, Mass Effect 2! (not really. Mommy loves you!)
sigh. Back to training…
@Insider: I'd love to join in, but I would absolutely disgrace myself if I tried to join ya now. Give me a few days of catching up and we'll play. I gotta hear you on your new mic! ^^
lol
You're too concerned with actually performing well. No problem. It's still open.
Thanks, hun~
And I know, I know. It's this damn pride of mine, lol
Our 4th DLC character is revealed.
[hide]
Holy shit…
I'm speechless. It's like....I absolutely hate it....and absolutely love it.
Well, I guess I just saved five dollars a week from now.
My inner Mortal Kombat fan feels betrayed, but my inner horror movie buff is having such a hard on right now.
UGH….the 'shush' he gives Sub-Zero before he rips him a new one. <3
Fuck that, this is spectacular.
Shit, I would even take Chameleon or Shujinko over this. Besides, wouldn't some monster like Jason or Micheal Myers be more suiting in a fighting game then a skinny little bastard like Freddy?

Oh thank god. I'm not alone in unrelenting joy.

Oh come on! He's an undead wraith who has returned to slaughter the children and families of those who killed him. He's pretty much Scorpion, if Scorpion had a fucked up sense of humor. He fits in more than Jason.
I'll admit, I would have preferred an MK character, but I can't deny that he's awesome. It's fucking Freddy.

I'm not against guest characters. I didn't mind Kratos being in the PS3 version, but Freddy isn't no fighter. He has claws, sure, but he can do pretty much anything in a dream, making it a moot point.
sorry to butt in on your conversation but this new dlc has me concerned i can't believe they would have freddy krueger of all the people they could have chosen. But maybe this is NRs way of saying sorry to the xbox audience for not having an exclusive character.

Freddy has fought outside of dreams. His powers DO have outward influence, and he has fought entirely with his claws. Sure, he isn't some form of kung-fu artist or anything, but his powers and influence could easily make him as threatening as any fighter in this game.
Sure, teenagers have fought him many times, but he's never died.
I don't think you're wrong, but Freddy is entirely capable of competing with the MK fighters outside of a dream.

Warner Brothers currently owns the rights to both the Mortal Kombat franchise and the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise. It was only a matter of time. WB also owns the Friday the 13th franchise, so Jason is only a matter of time as well. Then we'll have a REAL Freddy vs Jason.
Also, it's not XBox exclusive. Both PS3 and XBox will be getting it. And the XBox already had their exclusive of having online play for a month.
Still, at least he's DLC which allows me the option of not adding him. But, this does make me worry about this becoming a reoccuring trend in the future.
next stop john wayne in red dead redemption

Yeah, it's going to happen. I'm just glad it's something that actually fits.
I have faith in NRS. I imagine they are going to have Jason ready by Halloween time, but if they don't want people screaming at them, they'll release REAL MK content.
@romolis:
next stop john wayne in red dead redemption
That's a bad thing?
Insider, is there KOTH room open today?
@romolis:

As long as it's John Wayne from the movie The Searchers I am fine with this.
Just my two cents…. I like both MK and Freddy, but man....did they really need to put the new Freddy?...I
Please let Jason be next. Please let Jason be next.
Please let Jason be next. Please let Jason be next.
THIS
OH GOD THIS.
And after that, Ash :V
Just saw the 4rth DLC Char… Freddy Krueger??? What a shocker!
Freddy Krueger?
watches trailer
Hmm. I'm ok with this. Yes, it makes no kind of sense, but he looks fun! And like Insider, my inner horror movie fan is squealing delightedly right now.
Please let Jason be next. Please let Jason be next.
bwahahaha YES
Insider, is there KOTH room open today?
Tonight, I won't be able to join in, but anyone else, feel free to make a room and play. Even if I had the time, I think my PS3 needs a break.
I've been leaving it on all day so that my characters get 'Devotion' time. I only have Ermac, Kabal, Kitana, Mileena, and Reptile to accomplish devotion with.
Please let Jason be next. Please let Jason be next.
Yes. I concur.
THIS
OH GOD THIS.
And after that, Ash :V
ASH! No one is allowed to bitch about Ash. ESPECIALLY if his intro has him revving his chainsaw with his teeth, looking towards his enemy, and saying, "Groovy!". UGH….Bruce Campbellicious!
--- Update From New Post Merge ---
Ugh. I'm done. I'm done arguing with stupid people for today.
I swear, I just need to learn to let haters hate. I mean, I can understand not being interested in Freddy...but say stupid shit like, "How can Freddy use that fatality on Scorpion? Scorpion loves fire!"
Yeah, cause when Sektor hits Scorpion with his flame thrower, Scorpion pulls out a scrub brush, scrubs his armpits, and sings, "Singing in the bathtub!"!
Wait… people are applying logic to MK fatalities?
...
Alrighty.

Pff! You kidding?
"How does Stryker's tazer work on Raiden?"
"How does Stryker's flashlight work on Kenshi?" (Boon actually answered this, saying Kenshi can see light)
"How can Baraka and Mileena talk without lips?" (An inner lip theory has been made from this.)
"How can Noob make the cyborgs puke?"
"Why doesn't Stryker just shoot his enemy's head off at the beginning of the match, like he does with his fatality?"
Seriously. Some people really need a slap in the face.
Does make you wonder how many people use Fire in this series. I think it's: Scorpion, Liu Kang, Shang Tsung, Goro, Kintaro, Sektor, Taven, Daegon, Hotaru, Kobra off the top of my head.

Don't forget Blaze, who is MADE of fire.
Pff! You kidding?
snips shenanigans
Seriously. Some people really need a slap in the face.
Reminds me of people in WoW who wonder why Fire Mages spells don't get absorbed by the Fire Elemental Lord Ragnaros.
Or the niggas that ask why Lightsabers don't "one shot" people in video games (Soul Calibur, KOTOR, Force Unleashed, etc.
Some people just don't understand game design at all.
Don't forget Blaze, who is MADE of fire.
….Whoops.
Actually, I think Hotaru's thing was Lava, come to think of it.
!
GGs CompBros. I too was a bit suprised how the end of our Mains fight ended. Hope you enjoyed Sheeva's stomp hell XD
Also, I'm pretty hyped for Freddy especially if his alt is the classic version with classic voice XD
Behold, the next DLC character.
Toxie FTW!
If he does either the gut punch or the mop-your-head-off Fatalities I'd be forever grateful to Netherrealm xD
THIS
OH GOD THIS.
And after that, Ash :V
If Ash gets added to this game then I don't care if I don't like fighters and can't combo to save my life, I will buy this game. But I don't think Warner Bros. has any ties to the Evil Dead series. Who DOES have the rights to the Evil Dead series right now? Anchor Bay is handling the home video releases at the moment.
I come into this thread and see that Ash might be added? I can't… I can't even express my feelings.
Well, just watched the trailer and fucking A, i'm down.
I don't know why people would be mad about Freddy. He looks fun to play as and his fatalities are badass. It's a fantasy fighter…. if they can shoehorn in Kratos, they can add ANYONE.
I remember a while back when MK vs DC came out. I laughed and said "yah know what would be better? If they made an MK vs Killer Instinct (they should), or even BETTER! Horror movie monsters vs Mortal Kombat" Lol, I wouldn't lie to you... I felt it was a perfect combination!
So what if it's not a MK character?.... the main cast is already there. With the recent inclusion of Rain... I feel the best of the best are on display. MK9's roster is ROCK FUCKING SOLID! The GOOD characters are in it!!! The one's who MATTER!! Settling for some of the "OK" characters from the complete crap 3d era just makes no sense when compared to a sweet looking horror movie icon. Just seeing the comments for others like Jason, Ash, pinhead, toxic avenger, etc get me hyped. And now with ol Freddy in... that's becoming more of a reality.
I come into this thread and see that Ash might be added? I can't… I can't even express my feelings.
No no, we're merely expressing a desire for that to happen. I'm not sure if Ash could be added even if they wanted to.
Ash would be soooooooooooooo fucking righteous!!!
Although a chainsaw arm would probably not be doable given how many of the x-rays and moves operate. Maybe Ash could have his chainsaw for a fatality or a few special moves.
But he'd have to have it strapped to his back or something.

Noooo, he has to have his chainsaw on at all times, none of that lame robotic hand crap. Chainsaw would work just fine for X-ray, shows the blade cutting into the bone an inch or so. The biggest question is what WOULD his fatalities be, so many possibilities.
You misunderstood what I meant.
I'm talking about the fatalities and x-ray's on ASH that require both arms to be normal, character model arms. A permanently strapped on chainsaw would not work out.
The metal glove would work just fine though. Just let him take the chainsaw off.
So, if Freddy performs a babality on someone, does he then proceed to molest the character?
I'm glad so many of you are happy with Freddy. ^_^
Okay, I have good news and bad news.
The bad news is that this may be our last DLC character for this game. Ed Boon has currently stated that the possibility of another DLC character is 'unlikely'. He claims he wants to check the sales of the current four, but either way, don't get your hopes up. He didn't mention anything in terms of OTHER DLC (such as costumes). He has (in the past) mentioned the DLC such as Story Mode chapters, new stages, new music, and new modes (no TYL online) are not going to happen. New costumes and new Krypt content are still possible. However, he has already stated that groups are currently working on MK10: more specifically, the writers are already getting together for the story (which is one of many reasons he's against a Story Mode chapter DLC).
The good news?
One of the two free costumes that comes with Freddy comp pack.
[hide]bites lip He's hot.

sees costume spoiler
Can someone give me a "heeeeeeeeeell yeah!" ?
While I did suspect that Freddy would be the 4th DLC I lowered my expectations with it actually being Tanya, since her model was seen in the Colloseum.
I do wonder what will happen with the DLC characters in MK10, I hope that we wont have to buy them again unless they all become relevant to the sequel and actually speak. (except for maybe the 3rd party characters)
Hells yeah. Good choice of Alt. very good.
I was wondering if they were gonna use that one, very happy with that.
I agree Puma… the game has only been out since April... just the idea that mk10 is being made unsettles me. I mean, of course i'm down... but I wanna enjoy mk9 and all it's extra content for a good while still. I really hope Neatherealm is paying attention to Capcom's treatment of MvC3 fans and learning from their mistakes.
Well this isn't human Sub from MK 3. It is more the UMK3 ninja outfit unmasked… Still it looks good and Sub is my fav.
But Freddy sucks... Would prefer an actual MK character over him

I'm PRETTY SURE Kenshi and Rain will be relevant in the next game. ESPECIALLY Rain, considering that he will most likely be a villain. Kenshi will most likely be amongst the heroes Sonya and Johnny recruit (along with Cyrax and Ermac…..and Tanya....who will betray them).
Skarlet?......I think she'll be forgotten, become DLC again, or have a very minor role.

Games still take years to develop so it'll be a couple years regardless.
