March 28th-31st BETA Characters Revealed!

[Marlow]

Darn, I was hoping for Sonya.

 

[Vslayer]

No Sonya ? No Johnny ? C'mon NRS !

Sad day.

I hope at some point (in the full game, since we only get 3 versions in the beta) we can get her revenant look with her in human form cause I love the armor and mask.

The flash of her second fatality looked pretty good too

Yeah that would look freaking sweet! I love her first outfit, but not a fan of revenants.

 

[legion666]

I was at least hoping for Sub-Zero and Raiden(( guess Sub's intro dialogues give out something about noob, and Raiden is obviously heavily involved with the overall plot.

 

[FoughtDragon01]

I will admit, I was hoping to get a taste of the new dashing speed, but at least we know it is coming. In the meantime, I'll just keep abusing Barakas as Skarlet.

 

[Vslayer]

Darn, I was hoping for Sonya.

I feel you, I really wanted to try a mixup heavy character.

 

[WhamBamThanxSam]

Kabal works for me. I was hoping for some Sub and Cage as well but looks like it will be 100% Kabal. Though I did enjoy Skarlet surprisingly in the Stress Test.

 

[pure.Wasted]

That is an unexpectedly tiny beta roster. I wasn't hoping for any particular characters, and I'll enjoy the shit out of Kabal, but that is an unexpectedly tiny beta roster.

 

[DragonofDadashov24]

No Sub no pre-order. 3 days doesn’t cut it either. People have jobs on Thursday and Friday.
Just my opinion.

 

[DixieFlatline78]

I was expecting the original seven. I really want to try out Sub Zero and Raiden. I'll probably go with Kabal but he doesnt seem particularly interesting in this game

 

[M.D.]

I am really curious about Kabal, was thinking about picking him up and now is my chance. Great

 

[Eddie]

Yay! Jade's is in the beta! I guess I have to pre-order now lol

 

[fireborg]

M confused so the beta, if you pre-order is only 3/4 days? i thought that's for everyone and when you pre-order you can from end of march to the release...

 

[Marlow]

Interesting. So if Sub was in the beta, you'd have pre-ordered? Does pre-ordering cost more or something?

 

[Vslayer]

That is an unexpectedly tiny beta roster. I wasn't hoping for any particular characters, and I'll enjoy the shit out of Kabal, but that is an unexpectedly tiny beta roster.

I don't want to seem ungrateful or anything, but yeah, we saw enough Scarlet, Baraka, and Scorpion, they should have given us other characters. If anything, they could have disabled the intros all together.

M confused so the beta, if you pre-order is only 3/4 days? i thought that's for everyone and when you pre-order you can from end of march to the release...

No, that info was false, the beta is only the 3-4 days, and then we have to wait until the release on April 23rd.

 

[TheJaquio]

Sub-Zero nooooooo...

Sigh. Well I guess I'll be playing more Baraka.

 

[Marlow]

M confused so the beta, if you pre-order is only 3/4 days? i thought that's for everyone and when you pre-order you can from end of march to the release...

Nah, they said from the start that pre-ordering gave you access to a beta. I don't ever remember hearing that the beta was end of March to release. That'd be pretty wild for a beta.

 

[John Grizzly]

Adding Kabal and Jade. Nice!

Everyone complaining about the selections, just think - you'll be playing the FULL GAME about 3 weeks after the end of this beta.

But I want to play the full game now!!! (insert Willy Wonka meme)

That's true, I think one or two more characters wouldn't have hurt though.

 

[Marlow]

It was more an expectations thing. I was assuming that at the very least the characters from the initial reveal, plus 2-3 others, would have been ready for the beta. The beta's still going to be nice, either way. Just hoping for more variety of characters to see before the game officially launches.

 

[AIM_Dopeness]

Yeah, but we need to understand that characters have intro dialogues that can spoil some story mode. Like yesterday they didn't want to show Jacqui vs Kotal intro. Probably they chose characters based on that what they talk to each other before fight.

That logic would make sense except Subs, Raiden, and Geras were in the reveal build and the people who went probabaly heard all of the dialogue options. Unless the addition of Kabal and Jade REALLY give something away when talking to the 3 characters I just mentioned. I mean a beta is a beta and I’m very grateful to be able to play this game a second time. But I was hoping for atleast one more character. Oh wells. *shrugs*

 

[hatyr]

Definitely want to try Jade but thinking I may stick with Skarlet to build on what I was able to take away from the stress test. Choices, choices. It's a good problem to have on a roster so small.

 

[santanabar]

I think this might be related to gear available. I don't remember any customization options for Raiden, Sub-Zero, Sonya, etc

 

[JagoMIH]

Awesome to hear...Jade and Kabal are the ones I've been looking forward to playing the most, and Shao Kahn too.

 

[Blizer]

3 of my likely day 1 pick ups in the Beta

fucking neat
