One would argue that almost every character made in and after MK4 were all wastes of space. percech
I liked a few of them personally.

This looks like the developers are putting a lot of time and effort into really pleasing fans of the series. I'd imagine a lot of the kinks with the series that needed fleshing out will be addressed as well. I wouldn't be surprised by a 9.5. If this game reinvents and makes the franchise better than ever, the game deserves a 10, imo. Street Fighter 4 recieved a 10, no? And if you think about it, SF only really applied a new coat of paint to the series.

Worste part of this game? I need to purchase a new tv so I can play it.

SF4 was actually a 9.0 New coat of paint for a fighting game that plays quite differently than other entries in the franchise is also a bit of an understatement. Not that I think SF4 really did anything positive for the series...

Yes, there are new additions to SSF4, but it is still very much the same way. I tend to beat people using the "turbo/super turbo 2" methods from prior games.

Coolyfett agrees with you man. MK Trilogy on PS1 was so supreme. The newer fighters after MK Trilogy were way out of place.

Mortal Kombat web series interview with Kevin Tancharoen

"You can expect 9 episodes all to be anywhere from 6-10 minutes in length."

"It's essentially a prequel to the entire franchise. They are all origin stories on how they developed a motive to join the first 2 tournaments."

"I want to save Liu Kang for season 2. It will be a story about him and Kung Lao."

"You can expect it to be violent. We didn't have to restrict ourselves to any rating…so be prepared for blood."

"I'm still eyeing the movie as the ultimate goal of course."

True. I just hope it runs smooth. No reason it shouldn't. Well I am going to practice ASAP so I am so good I don't need to pick on easy prey :P.

I hope the DLC characters also have a story to view in the SP, would be a shame if they are just there for versus and online play.

finalfantasy94

Well in one of the interviews at Giant bomb I believe Ed Boon said there will be a spectator mode where you can view online matches before your fight, and king of the hill online. But hopefully this week the devs unveil a trailer specifically talking about the online component of the game. Otherwise it would seem online is just going to be bare bones, the series is synonymous with creative modes so I wouldn't be surprised if that aspect did come into affect in the online department.

Smoke reminds me so much of Akuma, with his teleport, double kick and what seems to be a taunt.

Thought the same thing to. Also is it me or does smoke just seem more animeish then the rest of the cast. I think its the hair and the poseing he does.

That looks pretty sweet, actually. Don't know why people have such a problem with Marcus being in the game when someone like Stryker is included.

Human Smoke(and Cyborg Smoke) was originally like the Akuma of the MK series... he was exactly like Scorpion, same moveset but faster.

I like that they gave him his own set of new moves and love the new design.

Clones are annoying IMO. 1 or 2 is ok, but some SF and SSB games use too many.
