Night Wolf Trailer!!

The long awaited Nightwolf trailer is here. Watch him channel spirits and axe stuff to death in the video below. On top of that, we have the reveal of our next DLC costume pack, which looks to be "klassic arcade fighters" pack for parts of the roster.



The hype is real!

 

I can't see the picture for some reason D:

The site couldn't handle the epic Laura cleavage, clearly.

 

I can't see the picture for some reason D:

I couldn't see it either, but I DM'd you an example. lol

And that right there, is why you get me.

 

Why is Nightwolf human again?

All of the other Revenant characters in the game have a human skin also so I'm betting he gets both like Jade, Kitana, Lui Kang, Kabal ect.

in Revenant form "I knew it. I'm surrounded by assholes!"

 

I don't get excited for gameplay montages anymore because of the tournament variation system. It's sad honestly. They're supposed to be hype trailers and they kind of achieve the opposite for me.

 

Nightwolf trailer had me like:

Kano revealed to get something from NRS other than a crippling D2 Krushing Blow nerf on his command grab:

yep , sad but true, kinda like was happened to Shang trailer (much ado for nothing, hehe) .... just as that old saying : "fool me once, your fault .... fool me twice, my fault" .... hehe

 

And that's why a bunch of gear was inaccessible from the beginning; great.

Do stuff proper next time; it was the MK 9 eye gear you should've gated off.

 

So he has:

• lightning strike(low, mid, overhead or unblockable?)
• parry that counters projectiles.
• what looks like multiple arrow moves, possibly a slot ability add-on.
• Wolf Damage Buff
• eagle projectile?
• Axe moves what looks like a Low starter into Mids that seem pretty fast.
• possible Axe restand for 1 bar?
• I didn't see his classic Shoulder overhead but I think he has staggers.
• forward advancing roll that goes under high projectiles into an Axe attack.

All in all I think he is gonna be sick, looks like he is a Rushdown/Counter Zoner with some possible pressure from Staggers, Frametraps, Restands, gap closers, decent zoning and what looks like amazing mids and has sick looking comboabilty from the little we seen.

I am very excited to get my hands on Nightwolf on the 13th and see what he is all about.
Let's hope:

1. He has different helmets preferably headband and feathers or traditional war masks and better clothing more native maybe even bones with leather and a wolf head.
2. He has good Tournament Variations with different but effective playstyle like Rushdown-Footsie and Zoning/Counter-Zoning.
3. Has parry, Lightning, Shoulder and buff in Tournament Variations.

Excited to see what skins he has. Nightwolf has been one of my top 10 characters since the old days but I gotta say his helmet and clothes need to go, I'm not a fan of that helmet or pads but think he looks amazing otherwise.

 

Looking at the trailer keep away zoner similar to Jade imo. I didn't see any pop ups to juggle off of. But they could be saving some stuff for the kast.

I seen a big combo into a restands and it looked like he staggered a low into a fast mid. So I'm more inclined to believe he is a Anti-Zoner with Rushdown and gap closing abilities. That parry, damage buff, roll all indicate rushdown with strong counters to zoners.

 

I... am not nearly as impressed as I wanted to be. I hate being negative, I just saw everything I expected to see and wasnt surprised by anything. Maybe it's me. He doesnt look bad at all, hopefully most of what we saw is tournament legal.

I look forward to giving him a go though, Im just not sure he's the one that's gonna win me back. Those spirit animals are nice in practice but good lord visually they're an eyesore.

Its Sindel or nothing at this point. That and a patch.

 

Inb4 literally every interesting move isnt competitive.

 

Bro why you mad it just his opinion lol

Opinions arent sacred, many are stupid. Im not mad, Im disgusted that someone thinks you can speculate tier placement from a trailer. Its fucking silly.

You even stated he look mediocre from his design to his spirit animals all way to his gunstock club. Stop trying to argue against my opinion which i stated it's not going to change until he drops. You didn't even state which bow, when he used two different versions. The ideal of his bow being plus a million on block is nonexistent. Also if you care that much to say you get off on blocking people then do as you stated. I could give two fucks. It's not the first and it won't be the last.

Dude, save some incoherence for the rest of us.

Yeah same. There were a few things that were really cool like rolling under projectiles, the parry teleport and that fucking outro is easily one of the best. Wasn’t really feeling the rest though.

Has the Kombat kast been announced yet? I think seeing this stuff in real time would make me appreciate it more.

 

NRS making top quality content as usual

 

Reminds me of Sonya, clearly he has solid zoning tools with lightning bolts and arrows while seems solid up close.

I hope one of those animals isn't just a buff but armor temporarily so he can tank a few hits. His fatality is awesome.

I also like that rolly ball counter move. Though no naked shoulder ram? hmmmm

 

I just want all his anti zoning tricks to be in his base kit. But i highly doubt they will.

Rewatching the trailer I see all of that now.

 

I've always felt this way about gear/abilities - if I'm not going to see any of this shit when I watch top players in tournaments, then I don't care about it. That's probably the wrong attitude to have, but that's just the way it's been since these asinine gear moves were introduced back in INJ2.

I hope custom variations (or at least more variations) are implemented in future versions of the game.

they need to just throw the whole system away. it was stupid in inj2 and it's stupid in mk11. just make characters, give them specials, and be done with it

 

doesn't Kano already have this skin? different hair maybe

Yeah it'd different, his belt and the shoulder thingies aren't the same. And he has his beard, which is better. I don't like the 100% bald look and I also don't like his hair on his regular skin so this is gonna be perfect.
