Can any mother fucker find one thing they don't like about this?

Awesome to hear about the frame data. Anything about training mode/what they plan to do with training mode?
Audio cues during when buttons are pressed would be incredibly a good way to practice timings.

A pretty big yes when i saw the cancel advantage, fuck yeah.


Can they confirm if there is neutral jump kick combos startup?

Fujin and Ermac for MK 11
You know when Boon said they're going to run out of ideas for future MK's, these "talking to yourself quotes" man anyone else foresee alternate Universe MK in the future? lol Can you imagine two Johnny Cages haha.

Cage 1 "You are gonna get caged"
Cage 2 "pfft hey that's my line you cheap knockoff"
Cage 1 "I'll knockoff...your balls"


because the NRS community has more gender issues than other communities
Ha, tell that to the SFC with Chun Li ;) I was actually thinking the reason is MK chicks tend to have the hottest bodies and show a lot(though this game so far the chicks seem rather more conservative with their wardrobe but still sexy)

Some good info + No Rain???!
Turned the link into a working one: http://www.ign.com/videos/2014/08/15/mortal-kobmat-x-ed-boon-on-the-story-returning-finishers-and-mk-vs-street-fighter-gamescom-2014

So the new Ality is either Animality or Brutality. With the unfinished stuff related to Brutalities found in MK9's data I think it is almost a confirmation we're getting Brutalities.
