Kombat Kast #6 - WEDNESDAY 03/27 3PM CST

[xXRagingFlameXx]

Didn't they say last week that they'd be playing the Beta? I could've sworn Tyler said that and Derek was like "Huh, I didn't know that."

 

[Raider]

I wonder if they’ll play the beta live on stream (against fandoms of course) for a few matches. Would be tough though since they’ll be showcasing a newer build, so they’d have to switch games. So okay probably not. I talked myself out of the idea while typing this post, lol.

I think that they confirmed Beta stream during the last week's KK?

 

[tim amesquita]

I don't think there'll be any panels of the kind there. Kind of doubt we'll have a trailer at all from that event.
The only MK11 related thing I know is going to be there is the Nintendo Switch version of the game, which'll be playable on Nintendo's booths.

with not alot wednesday they could have fighter trailer that day then do the in deph look the follwing week

Kitana, Liu Kang , K̶u̶n̶g̶ ̶L̶a̶o̶ Erron Black please

 

[BlackShade]

it's probably going to be Liu, Lao and Jax. I am happy about that. Lao is one of my favorites and eventhough i am not the biggest Liu Kang fan, i am curious to see how he has turned out. Never played much of Jax in the past but i liked what little they showed of him in the recent story trailer.

Alternatively i suppose they could show us Kitana instead of Jax. That's also fine with me. But i rather see Kitana alongside daddy Kahn in a later Kombat Kast.

 

[xenogorgeous]

the KK tomorrow probably will be better than all the previous 5 events did before ..... lots of very interesting remaining characters to know about regarding gameplay .... would love to see Erron, Cetrion and Kitana, but probably will be Liu, Lao and Jax, what is fine to me.

 

[LawAbidingCitizen]

Triborg/any cyborg or at least more depth on the whole Tekunin storyline. I mean Triborg is the current leader of the Tekunin.

Cetrion & Kollector would be cool to see more of. Mostly wanna see Cetrion.

D'Vorah since she is so unique. And has the potential to be a long range neutral fighter with Dots and hopefully cancels.

I am kind of excited to see the new Liu Kang with his nunchucks and how he uses them. Will they offer multiple hitting strings? an option select command stance? Pressure on block? How far will his attacks reach with them?
I've always loved the Bruce Lee connection and hope there is a tribute costume for Kang. I'm betting he has done seriously awesome mix-ups and get in moves that are the fastest normals in the game.

Mileena has been lightly hinted at but so far hasn't been part of the trailers.

Jax is another who could be showcased and I'm sure he is a grapple monster to be feared with fake out cancels like his daughter.

What if Shang Tsung is shown?

If any of those characters are shown I'd be content.

 

[LeoMK29]

I wanna see Kitana. She’s kinda basic and not as cool as Mileena but she’s the closest we will probably get lol

But how is Triborg canon?

Cyber Smoke does not exist in the current timeline, and Sektor was destroyed and his remains are in Sub-Zero's hands. How was Triborg made?

Although I don't believe we know whether Triborg is canon or not, it should be noted that a non-canon variation doesn't mean the entire character is non-canon. Case in point: Mournful Kitana.

i think shao kahn is going to be last wednesday beofre the game comes out all to himself to hype preorder

Cetrion & Kollector would be cool to see more of. Mostly wanna see Cetrion.

i those those two might be our secret characthers to unlock

Ahem. From Triborg's bio:

Years ago, the Lin Kuei Grandmaster determined that his assassin clan would be more effective by eliminating their human weaknesses. They would adopt cybernetic bodies and technologically enhanced minds. In preparation, the Grandmaster ordered all members to submit to tests, during which their physical and mental data was secretly recorded and stored in an offsite database.

Triborg's consciousness is derived from this data, prepared well before anyone actually became a cyborg, not from the minds of the deceased cyborgs. I'm not saying Triborg is canon, but the Smoke aspect of the character is not a hurdle or plot hole if it were.

 

[Cassie Cyrus]

Triborg is a slap in the face for Sektor and Cyrax fans.

 

[stokedAF]

A Shang and Shao stream would be my preferred stream.

Thanks. I like this lore

 

[Siy_voidwalker]

I really want to see the Kollector.
Someone told me he isn't shokan, but I wish he was that would be cool to see a slim, relaxed shokan.

I hope Kollector is from Chaos Realm.

How so? I'm a Cyrax and CyberSmoke fan and I loved Triborg in MKX and it lines up with the lore. Since the Cyber Initiative is carried on as Tekunin after Sektor lost.

Triborg is literally the new leader of the Tekunin and Sektor relinquished athority. With Triborg you can get any robot you want. The Cyber Initiative (Tekunin) has every Ninja's person saved in the database which allows any of them to come as Cyborgs via Triborg or individuals.

The only thing I ask is that each variation/cyborg in Triborg gets individual normals and movement. Which can be done. I'm still waiting to see if Triborg appears in the story or if Cyrax and Sektor do. They could add Triborg to the roster that let's us choose between Cyrax, Sektor, Smoke and CyberSubZero even Hydro and it will only take up one roster slot and all of them can be unique. I think it's a great idea and it would work similar to how Cyber Sub Zero did in MKX unlocked by pressing U,U,2/D,D,2 ect for each individual cyborg.

@Raider
Of course you can, but it kinda is off topic though, my gallbladder needs to be removed, I had much trouble and almost had some serious infections in December, then they removed a stone, but the pain has returned since a few weeks and I probably/hopefully can have my entire gallbladder removed this thursday.

I can't wait till the docters pull a fatality on that annoying painful thing!

I've had that surgery! Hope all goes well. Gallbladders suck.

I think it was a treat for them lol. Surely it was better than them not being in the game?

 

[HeavyNorse]

To people who just wanted to play as the cyber ninjas, yes, Triborg worked well for that. For people who care about them as characters though, Triborg isn't it. Because he's not Sektor. He's not Cyrax. He's not Smoke. He's a "function" character. Not a fan, tbh.

Hopefully he won't return or be made canon.

I don't understand why people keep saying he's not canon. He's clearly canon.

No, he's not been shown as part of the main story mode, nor been confirmed to be canon otherwise. So far he's just an added DLC, a means to an end to use the variation system in MKX to make the cyber ninjas playable.

By this standard, do you feel Tremor is not canon?

 

[Kiss the Missile]

Tremor's in the comics.

I don't see why people treat Triborg as non canon either. There has never been a "non-canon" playable MK character, dlc or not.
