Yeah, the intro dialogue...I'm not feeling it.

That's really my only complaint with the trailer. Everything else looks brilliant.
 
I don't agree but what can I do, I think now is a lizard and NRS will keep him like that, I guess I have to accept that, which means I dislike him now... and it hurts me ;_;
Maybe...you can think of the green, clammy, reptilian skin as him getting goosebumps and feeling physically ill at the sight of his despicable, unworthy opponent...

...maybe?

I wish we would get one Human one Human/Reptile and one Full Reptile variation but its most likely to much work.

I think Reptile looks badass as possible in the trailer! His move set looks like a setup/anti-zoners dream come true. Can't wait to hear what his variations are.

Kung Lao's spin looks CRAZY in this clip, the effect animations in this game are really great (eg: KL spin, Kitana lift, everything Quan chi Does).

I honestly think the voice acting in this clip is perfect! Reptile sounds super creepy and Kung Lao sounds like a monk who would rather not fight instead of a haughty teenager who gets himself ganked.
 
Seriously? How can people not find that intro dialogue hilarious!?
There's many ways a one liner or retort can come off as: cheesy, badass, and then there's cringeworthy. There's a very thin line separating them and if you don't do it well, it's cringeworthy. The delivery and clunkiness in which the actor delivered the line made me eyeroll so hard I felt dizzy. It reminded me of dubbed Dragon Ball Z

I'm a little disappointed that firstly Mileena didn't come :(. And secondly I'm seriously under-impressed by this character. He looks like he has slow poorish zoning, his dash is slower, his forceball is smaller and larger start up time. His x-ray is really kinda poor animation and not that intriguing, very stand still, the graphics on his acid spits are not as convincing as some of the other impressive graphics stuff.

Overall he seems slow and not as bad ass as I'd hope him to be. Looks hella cool tho so spot on with that at least.

Its amazing how music changes everything and in this case there was no music, that's why no one found it to be hype.

Edit: Reptile looks awesome. Moves look good .
That's my thought exactly! The music is what's missing TBH. The character n fucking badass and I'm going to play him most likely, I've never liked a male character this much before, them tongue moves OMG!

There was music here, and it was no more or less hype than any of the other music that's been used in these trailers.

Okay sorry, I really don't wanna be that guy but... what's wrong with some of these animations? They both look stiff as fuck, Reptile in particular looks really unfinished (he probably is, so that's why...). Graphics looked weirder too.. sigh. Very unimpressed. His x-ray was cool though...
It could be possibly that his going through the same thing Cassie Cage went through( still polishing the animation,etc)?

The music in this trailer was weird and low, the music is a really important to play with the emotions... I'm sure better music and better sound would've made this trailer 10x hyper! And people still don't realize we have tons of stuff to see from him/Kitan/Kung lao.

The Kung Lao dialog at the start was the best part of that trailer by far.

As a big Reptile fan I gotta say I think he looks really bad in this game. His moves seem clunky and slow, his voice is bad, he doesn't have that sweet "I'm slow but I can pounce at any time with incredible speed" thing he usually does.



EDIT: After going over it more, I don't think it's that bad, he's just not as cool as everyone else.
I am right there with you. However, I am going to main him regardless. Remember we still need to see all 3 variations and what they do precisely. I think they were just showing us a version similar to MK 9.

But ya, the trailer revel was meh.

I thought Kung Lao was absolutely gangsta and hilarious with the dialogue. That deadpan delivery and change of tune reminded me of Rick James on Chappelle's Show when he was like:

“Come on, what am I gonna do? Just all of a sudden jump up and grind my feet on somebody's couch like it's something to do? Come on. I got a little more sense then that."


"...Yeah, I remember grinding my feet on Eddie's couch.”

The only thing I didn't like was Reptile's dialogue (I enjoyed Lao's dry humor). It did not give any indication that Reptile has an impact or involvement in the story, just a throwaway threat. I was really hoping that he would have an actual arc this time, but that line didn't give me any hope. Aside from that, it seems that they kept most of his good tools from MK9, and gave him some more useful normals. Hopefully after seeing his variations, he will have moves with even more utility. Glad to have him back, even if he is relegated to his usual inconsequential self, story-wise.

Between MKDA - MKA did Reptile have any significant in advancing the plot ( Mind you I know nothing about MK lore after MK1- MK3)?
