I had the opportunity of playing MKX this weekend at FanExpo in Toronto. Just wanted to comment as it sure hasn't been in the public at all. This build had 8 characters: Scorp, Sub, Raiden, Kano, D'Vorah, Ferra/Tor, Kotal Kahn and Cassie Cage. I was only able to play 6 matches so take everything with a grain of salt I did not have that much time - hard to absorb it all.
I played as Kano (cybernetics), Kotal Kahn (warmaster), Raiden (teleport), Sub (clone version), and Scorp (hellfire)
The First thing I noticed was that there is absolutely no dash cacelling, dashing is a committment. And I found myself accidently running across the screen at times. Movement seems extremely fast with all characters and manueving with the interactables adds to that. It feels as though mobility and 'getting in' will not be an issue, just based on dash speed. A lot of the buttons were remapped on familiar abilities which was weird for me as well (scorp spear is always gonna be bb1 to me but its bf1 like in IGAU.) also Sub's iceball is df2. One logical remap was kanos roll which was bf1 instead of the 4 directional inputs which were cumbersome imo.
Never saw Raiden's or Cassie Cages Xrays before. They were AMAZING. Raidens sends the opponent into the sky like Shazam and then comes down with a bane knightfall knee and severs the spine. Cassie Cage's x ray has her nutpunch HARD so hard that it actually shows the tesitcles bursting! WTF moment for all viewers. After writing this I realized that I did see Raiden Xray in his gameplay vid ---- it is not at all the same as what I saw clearly. Either they changed it or there are multiple Xrays.
Again it was hard to tell - but most normals seemed fairly slow and seemed to often put both players in long negatives on block- hard to tell though. Kano seemed extremely strong with zoning and faster than most normals. The graphics are beautiful - most notably Jungle which is just a feast on the eyes.
I also noticed that every character has 2 different jump punches and 2 different jump kicks. Also you can uppercut crouching opponents.
Every person I saw who played the game was totally taken with it - so impressed and hype was strong. This is all I got for now.
If ya got any questions lemme know.
