III. GAMEPLAY

A. General Area

-Unreal Engine 3 is being used.

- Everything from the past three games has been thrown out the window. This means no styles or weapons.

- Everyone will have two finishers! MK characters and EVIL DC characters will have Fatalities. Good DC characters will have Brutalities.

- Attacks show permenant marks of damage on the opponent's body. It was shown if Scorpion takes too much damage to the face, his mask will start breaking and eventually fall off.

-RAGE. When fighting, your rage meter fill up. Once it is filled, your character's eyes glow and will have fighting effects. (If anyone can fill me up on this, please do so!!)

B. Advanced Area

-Freefall Kombat is a sequence which occurs when switching from one area of a stage to another. You fight while on the way down to the ground, with one person on top, and the other on the bottom.

-Klose Kombat is a sequence in which the two fighters engage in taking and receiving blows. One person is on the offense and the other is on the defense. The one on offense will throw out hits while the other one blocks. If the defensive player dodges an attack, the sequence ends.

-In certain areas of the arenas, you'll be able to smash the opponent through the wall, resulting in a Test Your Might minigame. The more the attacker taps, the more damage the unlucky victim will take.


C. Pro Moves and Super Moves

-info coming soon. =]

Q. How do I get the T-Shirt???
A. Pre-order the game at Gamestop and they will give it to you free of charge.

Q. WTF HAPPENED TO DARK AND GRITTY????
A. MK 9 will be the dark and gritty version, not this.

V. Credits

Myself for making this.
Patrick McCarron for his thread on trmk.org
EWA Shock & Dreemer for this site.
Tim Static for Release Date and confirming two finishers per person.
RagingStorm for Fatality tips.

Guys, if I'm missing anything, please contribute!
 
Can we list the three finishers we saw? Like Scorp's Toasty fatality, Superman's pound brutality and Joker's gun fatality. They're not really spoilers since we saw them already and the mass majority of the finishers (if massive) were still kept under wraps.

BTW, has it been confirmed that this game has two finishers for each character?
 
Storm, I'll put it in.

Tim, thanks for confirming it.

X820, I'm not sure to be honest. I'll check it out right now.

Come on Mods, sticky this!

lol, I didn't mean to sound like that. It's fine doing mini updates. It's probably more interesting than articles actually since that's what every other site is doing and most of the articles suck ass anyway.
