I really hope those aren't the only skins. The DLC characters need 2-3 more skins each (real skins, not joke/theme skins) and the new characters need more alts too.


I heard that on the pit stage, Fujin, Sindel, and two other characters will have their heads on a pit death spike. They better not do that.

where you heard?

also i hear ppl are hearing that cyrax wont have his net most likely. andbody else confirm this yet?

Of course everyone can bitch and others can bitch about the ones bitching; it's TYM.

Everyone knew the original Kombat Pack costumes because the list was leaked. They haven't done that with this one yet, but they will probably do that with all the bitching about it.

Someone asked "who doesn't have Goro?" Well, I don't have Goro; I don't preorder stuff. If it's good, then I buy it. There's been an 8 month window between release and now; A LOT of people don't have Goro. 15 dollars for 7 skins (KW/Brazil/Blue Steel) and a character (Goro) is not worth it in my opinion when you release a Kombat Pack with 4 characters and 15 skins for 30 dollars around the same time. If you paid for that, then it was worth it to you; just like the limited edition was worth it to whomever bought it just for the gold skin.

This is an "additional' bonus. The "actual" bonus are the Apocalypse skins.

They have not said that there will be no more skins besides Apocalypse. That's all speculation.

Repackaged previous dlc?

Still no apology over netcode?

The only way I am buying this is if the price is right. Honestly repackaged is pretty dam shady if you ask me.
they didn't have to, the grateful that they did.
the netcode issue is is getting old, that shit is not going to get fix and we all know it.

I think it's a smart move for them to include previous content in KP2. Not everyone got Goro, other skins, etc because maybe they felt they weren't worth the cost. Now they get it for free by purchasing KP2.

Cyrax variation is sick! No net though? hype nevertheless! Hyped for Bo too! Still holding my opinion. Fuck LeatherFace. Bad choice. Alien, pretty cool.

Here's hoping more than just the pit stage. They didn't say anything about the stage being included in KP2. Hopefully this means there will be more.

If there are more costumes it's fine, if not and its the same price as the other kombat pack then that's bullshit and I don't see how anyone can defend it.

I get drunk enough to want to main Bo' Rai Cho. Triborg is going to be amazing though. Instant main when Lao gets nerfed.

From what I've seen so far (I've seen all the combos showcased in GIF form, haven't got to see the trailer yet), here is what I think:

  • Leatherface: Looks a lot like Jason with his stance and one of the combos showcased. He looks just as boring and bland as I expected. He doesn't look that fun at all, in my opinion -- especially when compared to the other characters in this trailer. He really just seems like a way for WB to try and get people hyped for the new movie and make more money (easily), and nothing else. Still kinda salty that he got in and not another MK character...
  • Tri-Borg: Amazing. I love how all the cyborgs look visually, and their movesets look awesome. I love them all, Sektor, Cyrax and Smoke. I'm glad that they seem to have a MK9-flair to them as well. Tri-Borg will also be adding what felt missing in this game: Robots/Cyborgs.
  • Bo' Rai Cho: Not what I was wanting to see at all. I was hoping that he would still be funny, but would have a more serious moveset. Maybe spilling wine to replace the vomit? I just don't like the whole vomiting and farting thing. I also feel like this is wasted potential for a redesign -- I feel like at the end of the day people will look at him as a joke character nothing more (or at least the majority). WITH THAT BEING SAID! I do think that he looks fun, especially his staff stuff. He animates well, too. And to be fair... after seeing Bo' Rai Cho sling around Liu Kang with a staff like he was nothing, DID almost make me laugh. So there's that.
  • Alien: Glad that they decided to give him Baraka's stuff, it makes him feel more like an MK character. It also takes advantage of the "what-if?" scenario more. Despite me hating the fact that there is two more guest characters in this game, I will say that Alien will probably be the best guest in the game. His moveset looks diverse and crazy, he has Baraka's stuff so he has an MK-flair, he is a "monster" character (which this game was lacking), and his tail attacks brings something truly unique and different to the game.
  • The Pit: GLORIOUS!!! It looks amazing. I felt like MKX was lacking when it came to the "MK feeling". It's style was just gone. But this stage adds that back. Seeing Bo' Rai Cho and Liu Kang fight on that stage made me think "yup, this is MK!". Which is nice... really nice. This is easily my favorite stage in the game, and I haven't even played on it yet. It just adds that MK-flair that was missing from the entire game, in my opinion. Makes me wonder, though... will their be some sort of interactables? Or a Stage Brutality allowing you to knock your opponent of the bridge? Will it be one of the freebies for the Kombat Pack, kinda like how Klassic Fatalities were the freebies in Kombat Pack 1? There is still a lot of info I'm waiting on...
My general thoughts on everything is this: Being honest, it's not quite as bad as I thought it was going to be. However, it is still disappointing in a way. Although I do like how Alien looks and I feel like he does add something that felt missing, I still feel like Leatherface was a wasted "spot" and that we really didn't need anymore guests. I was also hoping that Bo' Rai Cho would still be funny but have a more serious moveset, although he doesn't look "bad" at all. Tri-Borg looks amazing, and The Pit stage is glorious.

I wanted this Kombat Pack 2 be fan service and add what felt missing. I wouldn't really call it "fan service" considering Alien, Leatherface, and Bo' Rai Cho (who is listed in the Top 10 MK chars most of the time) made it in, over characters like Fujin, Sareena, Noob, Rain, Sindel, etc. BUT! I do think it does add some stuff that felt missing. Alien is unique, Tri-Borg adds 3 Cyborgs, Bo' Rai Cho is the joke character, and possibly the best stage in the series - The Pit 2 returns, looking better than ever.

Still wondering what the 4 skin packs will be (if there is anyway). The bonus Apocalypse skins for Takeda, Erron Black, and D'Vorah sounds interesting. I wonder if they will look like Mad Max characters? Not to mention the free skins that we will probably getting. Will it be skins for the past DLC characters (Jason, Tanya, Predator, Tremor) or will it be more Klassic Skins?

Not that I care, but people need to realize that the costumes are not just "included" in KP2. You still have to pay for them and they are included with the initial cost of the pack including Goro. So for some, yeah 30 might be a penny pincher there. The new stage and new kostume pack kinda helps lessen that burden a bit though.

And no, what you see there is what you're getting with the pack. New costume packs will not be included in KP2 just like how the Brazilian and Kold War packs were not included in KP1. Dunno why the misinfo is so apparent here. It's pretty clear. No one said that they're not making new packs for kostumes, but they won't be included in this pack.

Me too. I don't have the other skins, so it's cool knowing that if I buy KP2 I will get them and finally have all the DLC (Goro, KP1 chars/skins, KP2 chars/skins, freebies, and all bonuses). However, even though it's good for me and a lot of other people, I do get why some people are mad: It sucks buying skins only to have them released later as bonuses for KP2 that you are going to buy. So you could have just waited and got them for free when you bought KP2.

How were people supposed to know it would be "free" later on though. Its kinda sleazy tbh
 
Everyone looks amazing except leatheface. So far he looks okay but once we see more of him Its hard to say.


I don't get the hate over bo he seems to be hella hype and robots look destined for inducing major salt :)

To be honest, my favorite thing about this trailer is probably The Pit, but overall it went just like I expected. Triborg looking amazing, Alien looking cool enough, Bo' looking.. well, like Bo'. Not a fan of the puking and farting but he animates really well. And Leatherface is looking just as bland as I expected. Still though, I'm excited. More content is always good.

Also, didn't Boon or someone at NRS confirm that Kung Jin would be getting more skins/a skin in KP2 a while ago? I'm a 100% sure there's gonna be more skin packs than they're showing right now.

But why is Sektor's teleport blue now, instead of green? ;_;

It is better this way
Just seeing characters fighting on the pit was enough. Leatherface looks boring as shit, Alien looks amazing, Bo is stupid but good stupid, Triborg is all kinds of orgasmic.

The real question is will the kombat pack be cheaper if you already bought the skins and already have goro ? Why not just give us new skins instead of old ones. If we wanted them we would have bought them. They need to be all new skins.

Bo Rai Cho looks awesome to me, I love the drunken master parallels there. The cyborgs are neat, with Smoke standing out the most to me. I still say the other two slots would have been much better utilized by MK characters, but it is what it is, I suppose. Pretty excited to play as Bo again. I definitely plan on buying him and Triborg. No plans for purchasing the other two at the moment.

I will kill you for sport.
Look, man. Fucking look.

I don't give a FUCK if you don't like Alien, I jumped up and down like a fucking child when I saw this.



And everything else looks sweet, too. The Pit looks so fucking good.

Take. My. Money.
I KNOW ME TOO! SO FUCKING HYPED AF HAHA
