Mortal Kombat Hype thread!!..56k Finish him!!! Hype met GS 8.5

I wonder why they gave it those titles.

I could understand death stalker for scorp but wth is helado?

Helado is spanish for either ice-cream or cold.

Anyway, I wonder why only those 2 have funny names and the rest is just "X" theme.

[QUOTE="finalfantasy94"]

[QUOTE="nintendoboy16"]It's probably like how Namco named certain characters themes in Tekken 2. An example (or two), is how Lei's theme is named "The Place" in the Arranged Soundtrack (Arcade's theme is named "Super Police", but that title suits him)

Ah thanks for the explanation. Im guessing they got a special name since they are proboly the most popular and well known characters in the game series.

I downloaded the demo today, and as one of the main detractors of the MK franchise, i have to say, i was pretty impressed with it, it really feels like the old MK games, i mean, i didn't like 3 that much, 4 was ok and from there it all went downhill, but i really liked 2 and this one feels like 2, you know, no running and no weapons, the combos seem as deep as any other fighter outhere, but one thing i didn't like it, was that super X-Ray move, too much damage for just pressing both triggers and the animation get's old quickly, however, i was convinced with the demo, besides the roster is pretty good.

Honestly, i liked it, if the online works fine, i might get this instead of MvC3...who would have guess.

Its suppose to work like that its on the same level as SSF4 ultra bar. Its a comeback move and its not like its not unblockable. Its a high risk high reward type of thing. If you do it and miss you leave your self open and your whole bar is gone. So in those terms I think its well balanced mechanic. Also the whole animation getting boring can be said for any specials in any game. Kinda like again being caught in a ultra in SSF4. Those things usally dont get old to me personally.

Anyone noticed that Ermac is now more of Lich-like creature instead of just another (red) ninja fighter? I like that.

I think you have to work a lot more in SSF4 to connect the ultra but never mind, but yeah it did leave you wide open for a counter i didn't realize it at first since it was the first time i played the demo, but after a few rounds with my cousins i can see is not as broken as i initially thought, however i stand by my point by saying that the animation can get boring fast, i don't know, but i like a lot more the ultras in SSF4 as well as the super moves in BB, personal preferences i think.

Other than that, like i said, the game feels great, much, much better than i initially thought.

Rewatching the videos and interviews and not to mention the demo has confirmed that MK9 is my most anticipated fighting game since TTT. Just under 3 weeks now, I can do it !

I personally enjoyed the demo a lot more than I thought and can see myself playing MK9 more than I ever did with SSF4.

Anyone els getting tired of the demo. I mean I played it a ungodly amount of times already since it came out and I can already smash the 4 characters they throw on you on extreme. I just wanna use different characters already. I want to play as my other characters who will be part of my teams ala jade,kabal and stryker.

15 days....I want to start owning people with Sub-Zero now! :cry:mrmusicman247

OH YEAH! Not if I pwn you with Subby first :P

finalfantasy94

Ive mostly played with Sub zero for the past 3-4 weeks and I am still not bored, I must say MK9 is looking like it will beat the record of my most played title so far this gen. Currently held by MGS4(1st) and Demon's Souls(2nd) with over 200 hours of play time.

For those who were interested in the samples put up on the thread before.

Here's a relatively new video with some X-Ray moves.

MK9 has gone gold, people.

Also there will be a live action mini series that will premiere one week before it comes out. Remember that AWESOME trailer last year? :D

^^^

EXCELLENT

I remember the ol TV series of MK in the early noughties(00s). Such a kick ass weekly show with SO MUCH CLEAVAGE :o

Boon and Team are sparing no expanses putting MK back into the minds of gamers, the franchise I feel is now(or when the game releases lol) at its peak.

Street Fighter and Tekken, aat your heart out.

Street Fighter Producer talks MK

"In Street Fighter when you pull off the Hadoken command you see a fireball, but in Street Fighter philosophy seeing the fireball fly over isn't the main draw, it's the decision making process in when to pull it off - that is what is important, Whereas I think in Mortal Kombat once you pull it off you enjoy the result of what happens with the fireball effect and when you do it doesn't really matter as long as it hits."

Yea that doesint make any sense. Since in MK its also about making the right choice when to pull it off. I dont do the move just to see the pretty ice or spear. I do it to connect a combo.

I too felt it made no sense, either it's bad translation or he is at a loss for words/confused due to how awesome MK9 looks and plays.

I think he might just be saying that Street Fighter is more timing-based than MK. But it's just as likely a veiled insult. I'm sure the Street Fighter team thinks MK is a joke because it's made by Americans.

They probably think it was a joke because of some bad apples in the MK franchise and the fact they game isn't taken seriously on a competitive platform.

You talking about Mortal Kombat Conquest? I saw a few episodes of that and while I found the fight scenes decent, I think they ****ed up on one thing:

nintendoboy16

Yeah Konquest, you forgot the 'K' :P Don't remember much of the story and may well have been no good but I agree the action scenes were nice. Sucks that the show ended on a cliff-hanger but what-ever. This mini-series is gonna be sweet, I feel MK translates the best to live action out of all the fighting games, hopefully the game resurrects appeal on a possible 3rd film. We need another great MK film to wipe our memories of the second one.

Sounds like Ono is talking like what non-MK fans think about the series.

nintendoboy16

I doubt he even played MK, probably feels the games are beneath him or something, lol.
