Time to Rewind the MKX Story Trailer w/ IGN's Rewind Theater

[STORMS]

First of all, in case any of you are late to the party NetherRealm Studios released a new trailer yesterday morning dealing with the story in Mortal Kombat X. If you haven't seen the trailer yet, stop what you're doing and click here.

Continuing on - the folks over at IGN have uploaded their traditional "Rewind Theater" video breakdown that literally goes scene-by-scene to capture who all made an appearance in this trailer. Now, while the excitement is high as we're seeing new character reveals as well as what looks to be alternate costumes (Scorpion/Hanzo unmasked and bearded)... it has yet to be determined who all and what all is officially in-game and playable.

You do see Shinnok, you do see Sindel and you do see Rain... (and many more!)

All of IGN's Rewind Theatres for MKX are so painful to watch. They always make mistakes or spread misinformation. This one is no exception, although it isn't as bad as some others.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I think Max's breakdown is much better because he actually did his homework for the most part.

This is still better than usual, pretty cringe-worthy though.

"Fighting against Mileena because she invaded his world".

the frame where they show takeda in action is huge
the hand wire extensions seems interesting

 

[Prinz]

Takeda may be the new Jade with extended footsies.

 

[JLU51306]

[Ry-den] and the [Tar-tach-ens]...

 

[SaltShaker]

I mean it when I say some TYM members we have here could have done a much better job at that.

 

[Vak Phoenix]

its okay, nice work ign you spent your time and tried to do something nice for people.

 

[Fusion_Quake]

just stahp IGN... please

 

[kabelfritz]

IGN - the definite source for everything MK related

Who else wouldve known about raidens medallion that was introduced in MK9 and now plays a major role again? ...no, wait...

 

[SneakyTortoise]

Takeda may be the new Jade with extended footsies.

What do you even mean by that?

 

[Prinz]

What do you even mean by that?

His whips seem to have a good range. They might give him advantage in footsies.

 

[SneakyTortoise]

His whips seem to have a good range. They might give him advantage in footsies.

I got that, but I don't really get the comparison to Jade... is it because of the range of her staff?

 

[Prinz]

I got that, but I don't really get the comparison to Jade... is it because of the range of her staff?

Yes. Plus the disjointed hitbox of the staff from the body.

 

[part1of2]

Destin is consistently terrible with fighting games. Vince is a lot better though.

 

[SneakyTortoise]

Yes. Plus the disjointed hitbox of the staff from the body.

Gotcha. As soon as I saw "he might be the new Jade" I just naturally assumed you were suggesting he'll be shite haha

 

[jimmykricket_]

Lord have mercy...

 

[Doctor Future]

They did a terrible job.

Lets be real.

Its almost like the first MK game they played was MK9 (2011).

They need REAL MK fans who know the lore of the story IN FULL.

Smh.

The only good thing about this "rewind" trailer was the fact that they were able to splice things down and rewind them more precisely.

Still missed out on a LOT of stuff.

*sigh*

 

[Empress_Fantasy]

Mileena though Kreygasm

 

[DarthArma]

@3:08

RAiden!!>!>/1/1?!?! from metal gear solid?!

 

[kabelfritz]

if you want an at least ok breakdown, check this guy.

he usually knows what hes talking about and has a lot of background info from the comics and twitter.

 

[MKF30]

@Pterodactyl lol I hear ya, you can totally weed out the real MK fans from the "posers" and sadly we will see a lot of them now with MK X getting hyped up and all. Max I consider a casual MK fan, he has some concept of MK but isn't as informed as we are.

IGN one is just laughable, the fact that they keep saying "pretty sure this is Mileena" shows they have no clue regarding the story lol or that Kitana died in the last game apparently...

And the Raiden/Shinnok part them saying "whos this blond guy?!" lol Did they like forget who Johnny Cage is or looks like? lol
