I want Kronika to step on my face
As you guys may be aware, the course of this week has consisted of a journey through the paradise of Gamescom 2014, where a beta build for Mortal Kombat X has been shared with many gamers who are thirsty for a new blood-filled competition! In this post, we are treated to a full journal of notes and impressions that the Kombat Tether have taken during their stay at Gamescom. Below is an excerpt from the journal, the rest of which you can read at the included link below. Be careful from reading this...your inability to wait for the game's release may veer out of control just like ours has!

* Please note that even though all the information we have provided here is accurate and correct from the Gamescom build, Mortal Kombat X is still in active development. Therefore certain elements and details could be subject to change as the game takes shape over at NetherRealm Studios. We shall update this page further if forgotten details spring to memory.

THE PRESENTATION:
Our many presentations began and ended in a similar fashion, Derek Kirtzic, Brian Goodman and Hans Lo all provided commentary to the video presentation at different times of day.

The demonstration begins with covering the basics, most of which was covered at E3, going over the character variations for Scorpion and Sub-Zero. They then introduced us to the many ways you can gain leverage using the environment. When it came to 'Finish Him', Scorpion was the victor and the team deliberately failed the input for his elusive Fatality. Engaging us by stating that the real gory fun is yet to come.

After this they introduced Raiden and Kano for the first gameplay footage outside of their respective trailers, showcasing both of their multiple variations and the recently revealed Jungle stage. We then got to see Kano's fatality in full. it was mind-blowing!

Cassie Cage Vs. Cassie Cage:
- Cassie Cage 1: "Funny."
- Cassie Cage 2: "You know what's funny? Your face."
- Cassie Cage 1: "Dude, you've just insulted yourself..."


I'm sooooooo going to enjoy this game!
This part really grinds my gears:

Sub-Zero Vs. Raiden:
- Sub-Zero: ***Inaudible***
- Raiden: "I am their protector, not you!"
- Sub-Zero: ***Inaudible***

FUCKING INAUDIBLE! Is Sub-Zero some sort of a realm protector now?!! AAAHHH!!
 
I love that Ferra and Kano talk shit like that. I think I might enjoy Ferra/Torr as more light is shed on them. Kano is a no brainer.

Some of the dialogue between characters seem like either could be talking to any character in the game.

Good shit! But there is still so much I want... Need..... to know about Kano.

Is his command throw unblockable?

How does the follow ups after air ball work?

Is his Xray a command throw?
 
"Her X-Ray hasn't been shown publicly yet due to the graphic depiction of ball busting."

Um... how is it that portraying ridiculously excessive gore is OK, yet 'ball busting' isn't? Lol.

I read somewhere that the X-Ray shows exclusively balls being busted/exploding and female characters have a sort of a camel-toe instead of the balls.

That's okay, in my eyes. A character doesn't have to know every single character on some deep, historic level. That would be unrealistic, and make the universe seem like the size of a living room.

Based on the dialogue, it seems like Ferra/Toor and Cassie may be complete strangers, and that's totally fine to me.

I'm awaiting for the video that they are currently updating, when that is I don't know. Whatever revealed in it I can't wait.

Everything that was so far stated in this is just awesome. Definitely cannot wait to get my hands on it more.
 

Rathalos

Play Monster Hunter!
The special move 'Frozen Aura' in his Unbreakable variation allows Sub-Zero to absorb one or two hits without stun, etc. Enhanced version increases the amount of hits he can endure before it wears off. Visually the move encases him entirely in a thin layer of jagged ice.
Hm, I wonder if it's like Doomsdays trait, or just regular super armor?

In older builds, wasn't this supposed to reduce chip damage? Or is that something built into Unbreakable by default?

I thought the Frozen Aura move negates the chip before reading that. It might have been changed.

"Rise and Fall of Kotal Khan"
So Im sure Kotal because Emperor after Shao Khan's death then Shinnok comes and ends his reign.
