What's new

Will we get a "New" MKX character reveal tomorrow?

Mst

But if that's true it would mean anybody that wants to go online with lets say Goro will not get all the "experience" as somebody that plays Kano or Quan Chi for example. I mean they even talk about playing in groups of 3 with other close friends, so I think it would suck if your char doesn't belong to any of the revealed factions. Here I hope they reveal more factions tbh.
I think it doesn't matter which character you play unless the normal game mode and this one are separate. And its gonna be more like you start the game choose your side and then can play what ever character you want but earn points fort the side you choose at the start, which gonna change how the game looks and maybe even influences the challanges, therefor giving everyone who plays the feeling that the contributed to the game. So basically you got different themes for the game menu and all that but are not choosing one but rather playing for that the one of your alliance/side stays the one which everyone has. And the Challanges might change based on what alliance is right now on the top.

Lao orbiting hat in tempest reminds me of Rose's ultra 2 from Street fighter 4 or Black adams trait from injustice. I wonder about the availability, time restriction and meter dependency of this move. If not handled properly, it looks like it has the potential to be broken.
oh yeah? where did you see it? oh you didnt? tru.
 
Talking about broken already. ...Um everything has the potential to be broken. This is like saying he can punch, if not handled properly it has the potential to be an infinite
Wait we're talking about things being broken? Well, I broke my ar- oh, we're talking about THAT broken... Well I broke my comp- Still not that? Then what are we talking about? Characters being broken? That's absurd, MK9 was the most balanced fighting game in history, Kabal was the most balanced fighters in the game guys. I have faith in NRS that there will not be any broken shit.

Maybe they are at first but then at some point are saved/revived/freed from QC's control. Only thing I can think of that would explain the good guy look and aging.
Also a very good theory. Maybe Ermac or Raiden could free him who knows or Kenshi. Someone powerful enough to communicate with souls.

Are ya' ready for MK11 kids?!

This is generally what happens when you take the term "broken" out of intended context.

It's safe to assume he was freed quickly, as he doesn't look like an evil badass, like Scorpion or Noob, or like a zombie, like he did in MK9 in the Netherrealm.

What a day. What a lovely day.
Wasn't there some interview where someone hinted at possible alternate dimensions/timelines? Who's to say this is even the same Kung Lao from MK9?

Most humble shit talker ever!!!
Hmmmm Boon using a 3v3 at an example like 3 separate matches.

From what it looks like the online is to appeal and keep the casuals interested which is good because that means the more they play the more they improve.

but if its 3v3 like we team a play 3 separate matches against team B and it adds the scores t the end, ill be truly chuffed i love team based shit

I just hope with all these new online modes people don't forget to report their scores.

Lol, butthurt nerds will be butthurt nerds. I've pretty much given up on online gaming, it's full of pretentious entitled people who aren't really that good.

There needs to be a system like, something solid on how MOBA does it I think.

I don't believe there was any interviews saying this was an alternate dimension or universe.

While ago I made a huge thread about this prior to any storyline rumors, confirmations but they already established this isn't the case. It's in the future spanning up to 25 years after MK 9, but not an alternate universe. I had mae a topic asking if MK X would possibly be an alternate MK universe/multiverse in MKU since it's one road they haven't explored...yet. We got time travel, updated designs etc but so far haven't had separate MK Universes yet(with the exception of the movies, cartoons, shows, web series) but as far as the canon is concerned.

Its way more likely that its KoF / elimination style than a round robin. I think one of the PSP MKs had a team mode like that. Its a fine idea I think, I just hope it isn't restricted to factions. Being unable to just team with whoever whenever would really shoot this in the foot.

To be fair, Injustice never dropped any definitive hints about alternate universe crap and it turned out to be the games central theme. Still, I don't think that's what we're dealing with. They've already said their primary goal with this is to leave the past plots behind, so I doubt they would shoot the plot 25 years into the future just so we can drag alternate reality versions of everyone back from the grave.

If Kung Lao's alive it just means somebody at NRS still has a huge boner for him and so they wrote a dopey resurrection into the plot. Its the same way Scorpion and Sub Zero (And Quan Chi, apparently) just get a pass regardless of how ludicrous it is for them all to have not just killed each other.

He's not all zombied out so he's definitely not on Quan Chi's payroll (unless that's his alternate) and given the obvious age change I'd wager either its a consequence of being brought back / cloned (kind of like Old Snake in MGS4) or it happens pretty immediately after MK9 and NRS just has no idea what 40-50 year olds look like.

Lets just hope it isn't as dumb as the old so-and-so's soul missed its flight to heaven and the bus broke down in Outworld so they get to fight again bullshit excuses from before.

And he's got a pony tail! I don't know why I'm tripping out over it but it's cool.

I certainly cannot wait to see more of this guy in action.


And I'm kinda anxious to hear the music for this arena. Kinda hoping it's got the Tekunin arena's beat from Armageddon.


(I really think that's the only thing about Armageddon that I liked.)

That was awesome, but I hope it's like either Insurgency themes in Injustice.

That game had a super forgettable soundtrack but those two stages had some ridiculous music.

Like James Bond's and Godzilla's music creators got together to create something beastly.

True on the Injustice gig but that was mostly due to WB telling them "keep your mouth shut on the story til such and such" same as with MK X now, but there was heavy, heavy speculation by fans and a lot of hints from NRS when asked about it that Injustice was A. alternate universe or B. just different parts of time. Of course no doubt they couldn't "confirm it" as it would spoil the suspense and all but I think also with DC given they've done tons of alternate universe or multiverse stories it wasn't that far fetched you know? I also personally got that vibe given what Superman was doing since I read a lot of DC comics, he'd never do that normally. So I had a vibe it was alternate universe or mind control something going on.

MK X they pretty much confirmed it's the future of MK 9's timeline in various interviews since the initial launch trailer. So that being said I'd be very, very surprised if there was any Alternate Earthrealm going on, though I do hope MK does explore their multiverse which eventually I think they will explore I hope. As for resurrecting characters. Honestly, almost all fiction does it DC, Marvel, games, manga etc. Plus you know they're not going to keep Sub-Zero dead, he's too iconic to the franchise. It would be like SF killing Ken or Ryu, just can't happen or DC killing Batman or Superman. If it does happen, bet you anything it won't stay that way for long. KL however I couldn't care less about and am more concerned about him being more balanced this time to be honest. I think he looks about late 50's/early 60's plus people do age differently so I'm open to the newer look. With DC's Future's End currently it's 5 years later but some characters like Batman for example look like it's 10-15 years later. I'm sure they'll give an interesting and reasonable explanation why some dead characters are back.

"Will we get a new character reveal tomorrow?" Thread made January 1st. Date today: January 3rd. The answer is no, NRS knows how to kill their own hype.

#dreamcancel
have you been under a rock? Kung Lao was the reveal on January 2nd.
