Stating the obvious? lol

Are you disappointed that its a female voice actor? I can totally see a
Barry White low pitched voice for Kitana :p

However in all honesty, the voice acting for Kitana in these later MK's
sort of tarnishes her image - like she is more immature now. Definitely no
Talisa Soto.

@ Nic: Haha, guess I need to tone down with the essay writing - force of
habit from having just done my thesis (which I am still awaiting my results
from - welcome to South Africa? LOL). Yeah I would definitely like to try
the game out. I think maybe you did not appreciate the final fantasy parody
because you never played the game :p BUT I still think she is very
talented.

@ Ashraf: I think the advertisement for MK is top notch and I am sure
there are die-hard MK fans (I use to love the old school 2D MK games. After
the franchise went 3D I felt it kind of lost something). The problem I find
is that with an MK game there is that loyal fan base that kind of skewers
facts and opinions - hence looking for a non-biased opinion of the game. MK
is very promotional (and, maybe not so much today, but also very
controversial). Its this promotion and controversy that in my mind sells
the game not necessarily the depth of the gameplay (but just my opinion).

The head issue/realism: I am fine with them not going the super model
route or even being realistic BUT if you compare their other female
characters (Sonya, Cassie, Jaqui etc.) Kitana and Mileena's heads are just
off to me. I also agree with Saps, Kitana looks better with a Mask on - NRS
do not know how to do female faces (I guess they were lucky with Mileena
:p).

Nice essay Ecco

Kitana is good.
Never really noticed the girl's head size. I'm inclined to agree tho.
Look a bit big-headed now that I think about it.

If you wanna try out the game, I can help you with that.
I doubt it will have the longevity that say SF or Tekken enjoy, but it
does boil down to the community playing it right?
NRS should eek out content slowly if they want to increase the lifespan.

From the final fantasy side of things, I think

Wow that just seems so broken. The brokenness aside, is Kitana any
good in this game - she use to be one of my favourite MK characters (I
know
that mournful is suppose to be her worst variation?). I have kind of been
holding off getting the game, tbh I don't really like the animations of
the
newer MK games - they don't seem to be as smooth as other games. Is it
just
me or does Mileena and Kitana's heads look a little big in proportion to
the rest of their body? It might be some thing else, like Mileena's hair
making her head look bigger than it actually is.

From a none bias point of view does MKX have any longevity/ staying
power - or will it fade out in a couple of months time?


On a side note, I found this youtube video earlier hours of this
morning:

For anyone that played Final Fantasy A Realm Reborn, it's definitely
worth a listen - it is basically a parody "aetherflow" based on the
Disney's frozen "let it go" The lyrics are really awesome and JessPlays
shows off a lot of talent signing it (so it might be worth a listen even
if
you never played the game).

It's basically about the struggles of DPS with long duty finder queues
(in this case a Black Mage) and then she changes to a healer (Scholar) and
experiences the benefits of insta-queues. I think if you ever player
scholar you would really appreciate/ understand the lyrics -- the
highlight
for me is "I'm never going back, except to get swiftcast" :p

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4akl6AUj_JM


She also sings "Do you want to Kill a Titan" but lyrically its not as
good.

You will see Kenshi in tournaments because there are

That said, there are characters who are more

than others at this stage of the game, so top players will

given
NRS's reputation, later patches will probably have a very

very

D'Vorah is stupid technical. All those Wasp Cancel is

strong as hell.
Just need to choose the right variation for the right
matches...swarm queen
vs subz's grandmaster? yeah, thanks SAP for teaching
me that
lesson...all i
did was watch myself die...at full screen range...

Mileena...well, totally different playstyle to her MK9

part.

Cassie is a combo machine.

Goro = fuck all you guys, i'm ex punch walking.

Quan Chi looks so damn good... that fucking bat.
Combo

Orb trap raiden also looks fun

Did some tests regarding ducking command grabs since
it
looked
like Di managed to duck Goro's command grab in some
matches.

Erron Blacks command grab is fully duckable at all
ranges.

Goros command grab is definitely not duckable...
however
ducking
greatly reduces the grabs effective range. If the
opponent
is
ducking then
goro can grab you at roughly normal command range but
if they
are
standing
its slightly(very slightly) less than the distance at
round
start.

And this refers to ducking without block. If you
block low
you
are getting pwnd
