Updated!! NRS Stream recap featuring Mobile MKX & More

[Hexin_Wishes]

Only hype for Ninja Mime.

Also, wow, Jax and Jacqui weren't shown today? That's weird! Why are they the last two characters left to show off?

 

[Neclord]

1. Sonya looks terrible. Manface and tiny breasts.
2. STOOOPID questions.
3. No Jaqui, dafuq.

 

[kabelfritz]

Kenshi"s first variation is "BALANCED" i see what they did there

so the others are op again

 

[kabelfritz]

1. Sonya looks terrible. Manface and tiny breasts.

do people even pay attention to gameplay?

i think she looks fine

I think by this point we can see that some characters have *way* better tools and variations than others. Look at Shinnok's or Ermac's moveset compared to Kenshi's...

Maybe some characters are meant to have more pick up and play ability than others.

i dont know why you mention ermac, but shinnok, kotal kahn, ferra/torr, cassie... well for sure they dont have as much tools as others do. doesnt mean anything though, look at zatanna.

 

[Dwarfmp]

I was bummed we had to play mobile to unlock skins, cause I don't have anything of the sort. But now that I've seen the skins, I'm alright.

 

[Hexin_Wishes]

So Goro's spot will be like in MK2011 where a drop down (err side) comes out with the rest of the DLC right?

No idea what this is supposed to even mean. From the 3 characters you named, none of them look vastly superior to the other so I don't even understand if you were saying they are a lot stronger or a lot weaker than Kenshi.

 

[Rathalos]

Kenshi's Ermac variation looks the most fun.

Also man, Sonya just makes Cassie look bleh all around.
Better moves, animations, model, costume, way more interesting variations.
She even has a freaking Huricarana.

 

[Neclord]

do people even pay attention to gameplay?

I can't play characters just because of their gameplay. I have to like their appearance as well.

 

[Hehateme]

The sky temple stage is the bomb.

 

[Spinky]

It's like they went out of their way to answer the stupidest questions possible today.

Cassie just makes Sonya look bleh all around.

Fixed that for you.

 

[Jeddite]

Sonya looks good, but there is no way I'd go that far. They both look straight baller.

From what i've seen so far Kenshi is a better Ermac. His variations feel more "fleshed out" than other characters is what I meant.

 

[Monox1de]

Kenshi looks pretty cool. Sonya as well. Tyler remains free and I would have rather them played the ermac vs mileena match again than watch that bullshit D'vorah vs ferra/torr spamfest match that we saw.

 

[SaltShaker]

Don't agree. Ermac looks like one of the most improved on characters from MK9, where as Kenshi looks like, well more of Kenshi with some adjustments.

Either way, it's impossible to tell anything without playing the game. Kenshi could be the best character in the game or he could be so "balanced" that every thing he does is ultra punishable and he's bottom tier.

There's literally no way to know at this point.

 

[Elder God]

So the unblockable character in story mode is not on select screen??

 

[kabelfritz]

So the unblockable character in story mode is not on select screen??

maybe its the question mark. ive never seen anyone use it for random select and mk traditionally doesnt have a field for that

 

[Vithar]

Finaly i found a Main for MK X - Kenshi looks insane!!!

 

[Deleted member 5032]

I couldn't tell, are Sonya's grenades unblockable or not? I must be missing something, because I thought she looked like garbage compared to the other characters (gameplay-wise; looks wise, I thought her model and animations were great). The kamikazi drone was pretty cool, but her parries look too risky and only do around 10%. If those grenades are blockable, what's the point of that variation?

Kenshi, though, holy shit. Nightmare flashbacks from fighting him with Kano in MK9...

 

[Lt. Boxy Angelman]

It looked like the "armored" version of the Parry got stuffed repeatedly.

I can't describe how disappointed I am that Sonya of all people got what's essentially the equivalent of Cyrax's bombs ...

I think the idea behind Demolitionist is mix-ups. I think they hit different hit-boxes if activated early, and I bet they hit low at drop, so you can punish block at close range pretty freely.

Also, they didn't show it, but it seems she can string into a free stun grenade. Not bad for additional combos. I bet Sonya is much stronger than Tyler was able to demonstrate.
