More uglyass characters and a block button.

[notorious bum]

I'm going to predict the addition of a Zombie character.

[Lebzile]

Don't care. Loved UMK3, 9 felt like UMK3, excited for 10.

Why that music..?

In any case, it looks nice? Assuming that's actual combat and not just cgi. Looks like they're bringing back weapons and stage obstacles.

We'll see.

[Gokulo]

Yeah, music made me cringe, but otherwise a cool trailer.

9 was a fairly decent return to MK after the series went out of control. wonder what they plan to change with this one.

[Sonomaa]

betting good money that was just a CGI trailer, it might have been done in a significantly tweaked game engine, but its unlikely that is what actual gameplay will look like, and even if it does it will very likely not launch with that style of graphics (like watchdogs). it should be good but yeah, hopefully they dont try to fix what isnt broken, fighting games are always better when the basics remain intact and you dont get too convoluted

[Weltall]

It needs hit confirms, no block button, no run button, walking speed increased, and not terrible models. They nailed the storyline mode in 9, so I expect that to be worth a purchase by itself. I'll check it out!!

[Krandor]

It looked like a pretty consistent string of reversals during that video, makes me thinking they're gonna go full retard DOA style and have a straight up counter button.

[gaira]

knowing NRS re: Injustice those stage interactables are probably a thing.

[Vandole]

here's the real mkx trailer

Yes, yes, yes, eh..., I thought the models were ok.

Agreed. The storyline made it worth the buy.

[Weltall]

I love you too oh one formally known as Shinebox.

[notorious bum]

What do you mean by "need hit confirms?" MK9 got so much right, I hope they don't screw with the formula too much.

[Damane]

was never a fan of mortal kombat,
char design not my thing of that game
besides i prefer a game that has worse graphic but doesnt have chars moveing around/getting hit like they have 3 sticks up their asses. The character movement/hits/moves etc look very shit compared to japanese fighting games usually.

[Weltall]

What do you mean by "need hit confirms?" MK9 got so much right, I hope they don't screw with the formula too much.

They need Japanese fighting style hit confirms in the game; MK is "dial-a-combo" which means whether your initial attack hits or is blocked that you basically do the same string regardless. Most FGC type of players hate this type of thing.
