Kind of interesting that Scorpion hasn’t been a part of any demos so far. I thought he would’ve been a must-have, but I guess not. Also, all of Sub-Zero’s ice effects like amazing!

I think it’s because the voice lines and stuff would give away too much of the story they want to keep quiet about. We still don’t know who scorpion is in this game especially considering he’s Bi-Han’s brother now, so the theories are is this scorpion hanzo or is it somehow actually Kui Liang or even someone else.

I mentioned this is another video but seeing Kameo fighters get hit and disrupted makes me kind of wish they had a health bar that took them out after too many hits.

And with it being MK, them having a quick death animation on screen would be sick. Like an old school MK body explosion!

The whole game* needs major updating. He can't be SUPER negative about it or else won't get future test codes or sponsorships. But he IS NOT enjoying the game even slightly. Just compare this reaction to SF6 tests reactions. You can VERY clearly tell that he is just not having fun. It looks flashy at times, but with how slow and clunky it is, it's just not worth shit. Especially THESE days. People want SPEED over all else.

[@UhDewSea]

@@CrustedPork that's whats weird. You can have both. Look at SF6. Without drive system, it's normal SF and it's slow-ish paced but when you layer the other stuff, quickly movement evolves and pace quickens. I agree, I don't see that from MK1 so far.

[@flyingparkinglot1530]

I figured: more creative combos for speed, but me personally I want that MVC2 speed in my fighting games. Maybe on PC you can up the frames to fix this?

Let me slashy slash at light speeds Netherealm…

[@CrustedPork]

Yeah that's cool and all, but it's still slow. People DO NOT like slow. All the bigger games have always been way more fast paced (across all genres) People enjoy speed and flashy shit. If it's slow, it's boring and boring to spectate. Riot games knows this, and they host the biggest tournaments for their games, so at least there is hope for the FGC in the future (maybe) all these hyped fighting games have all been pretty mediocre at BEST. Street fighter was hyped to shit, and it's AT BEST mediocre. In my opinion not even.

[@roundabout468]

​@@CrustedPorkYou're out here thinking your own opinion is fact. Let's talk facts. People don't like slow? I guess maybe? MK11 is slow and one of the best selling fighting games ever, MK is generally slow and is THE best selling fighting game franchise by far (not counting Smash as a fighting game cause it's so different). You say "SF was mediocre and in my opinion even worse than that" like "SF was mediocre" isn't also your opinion lmao. SF6 is one of the fastest selling SF titles and has great reviews all around.

[@notofuse8549]

​@@TimeforceletsgoIt's not that the game is immune to criticism, but the point they bring by mentioning sales is that our perspective from this side of the fgc is skewed and does not accurately portray what the majority of the community wants (the causals).

[@zellorz]

Don't want to be a party pooper since you guys seem to be really enjoying it, but I really don't like what I'm seeing. Didn't like MK11 either apart from the graphics, and honestly they look pretty similar. But my point, and the reason I'm replying you in particular, is the animations! I know they are in a way a staple from the series and a legacy from when they used real actors, but I'm pretty fed up of their jankiness and rigidness and lack of emotion and inertia. Not that fighting games animations must look realistic, but they need some kind of punch. This is just soulless mocap with moves that string one after another with no evident connection. And I could keep ranting for hours. The day MK reinvents their animation style, even if changes the identity of the series, I'll be very happy. That said, I'm glad you guys like it and look forward to the next golden age of fighting games!

[@cell4224]

Bruh... Fights between articulated action figures are less janky than whatever NetherRealm are cooking up.

[@Strider-Ragnarok]

@@zellorz I should've made it more clear. What I meant is the animations on MK1 are better than MK11 and any MK game before it. I pay more attention to animations than anything else and I'm able to at least acknowledge this improvement. I'm not saying this is rivaling SF, Tekken, DoA and certainly not VF, but it's an improvement nonetheless. This has nothing to do with graphics, nor character designs. I recognized that some moves has that signature stiffness, specially noticeable with single button normals that lacks wind up animation and impact. I also realized that some of the jankiness comes from the way NR implements button inputs, which are not responsive nor as smooth as other fighting games. You can't simply look MK9, MKX, MK11, MK1 and not see NR has made some progress in this department.

[@zellorz]

@@Strider-Ragnarok Thanks for the answer! You definitely have a point, and I can also see some of the little improvements here and there. But there is still so much jank... At this point I believe it can't be fixed by simply improving individual animations, the problem lies at the very core. It's something not very intuitive to detect and worth dissecting; some YT channels like SugarPunch have thoughtful videos on this topic. If you're not an animations expert, they really put the words and logic to a problem which is very palpable but difficult to describe.

In terms of dashing its slower, walk speed is faster, animations and frame data seems slower but with the kameos and the verticality i would say the game is more or less same speed as MK11 with the chance of being faster when people learn how to use kameos for other stuff that isnt combos

Just from what I have played, the movement feels SLIGHTLY faster than mk11 but still slower than mkx. Hopefully they increase the speed during beta/release?

I really hope cameos is another game mode just like koth

[@vanilit6532]

the entire game is designed around them. either get used to them, don't use them, or don't buy the game. no one will care whichever one you choose

[@jeffpaez1997]

Is ridiculous how assists had to be the main game. The one game mode I didn't like back in mk11 is the whole game now

[@mappybc6097]

Assist system looks super fun. Only thing I don't like is walkspeed and mobility seem straight up lifted from MK11. But maybe MKX speed with Kameos would be too busted?

[@rickflorida3838]

I really hope that they speed it up

[@DippedInInk]

So I’m the only one that noticed Subs fatality is from the anime Ninja Scroll?

[@novarunner34]

I agree they just gotta speed up the movement of the game a tiny bit more and it would be fun

[@ylobenz]

“A tiny bit” bro they need to speed it up wayy more than that😭

[@LandofBrickForests]

6:43 Yeah, it does seem slower than MK11. I was honestly hoping that NRS would take the gameplay in a new direction. More towards a traditional style while keeping all of the trademark gory combat. But it didn't happen. Maybe next time.

[@michaelbush1374]

There's no way it can be slower than mk11

[@LandofBrickForests]

@@michaelbush1374 it looks slower, but maybe the feel is different. The combo potential looks a lot better in comparison to MK11, that's for sure.

[@michaelbush1374]

@@LandofBrickForests If it's as slow as MK11 I might just wait. MK11 did a lot of cool things, but it also had a lot of garbage on top of being perhaps the slowest game since before the 3D era. If they have no Konquest mode and the game is slow, I might wait for the ultimate edition to drop down to 20-30 bucks in a few years 😅

[@LandofBrickForests]

@@michaelbush1374 Honestly? I might do the same.

[@Vasculio]

That's so cool! 😂 "Feel Deaths Cold Embrace!"

[@dr.hasdan]

Is it me or does everything look slow motion?

[@phenom504]

I like Sub Zero but he does seem to feel a bit slower than someone like Liu Kang who’s smoother when playing as him

[@nem3732]

The only thing I don't like about this game is how they changed the unique interactions. That was where MK really stood out from the rest is the amount of interactions their characters have with each other and the banter that it provided. Now the interactions only has two lines of dialogue which barely feels like a conversation between the fighters.

[@coryyoung7544]

Just guessing this is probably so they don't give the story away but yea sub not saying something after kenshi says pry it from my cold dead hands feels weird.

[@jonas34ptfernandes38]

Well at least now people cant skip them during matches i guess

[@GlaciusXL]

You said "No controller options in this test... none." I'm actually glad I wasn't included in the test now. I play on stick, and because I started with the original game in the arcade, block always sits in the middle. What a dumb omission. Like when MK11 didn't have any way to use Tower assists when you have no RIGHT ANALOG on the arcade stick. All they had to do was map 2+4+Direction.

[@jinpei05]

SonicFox had some pretty high praise for this game

[@lajeandom]

Did anybody notice the homage to Ninja Scroll with Sub Zero's fatality?

[@ianthorpe1925]

Not until right now, but that is fucking awesome.

[@lajeandom]

@ianthorpe1925 right? It's like one of my fav movies I was so surprised 😮

[@LEWfromdaHOU]

The graphics are nice but I'm not feeling the overall gameplay.

[@robertbouley7697]

Nothing is pulling me from SF6, but I do like watching this. Sound effects are incredible!

[@kruegerpoolthe13th]

Not quite MKX but it does remind me of MK9 which wasn’t quite as fast but arguably more focused on the actual combat Every character had tools to be great in that game If they can make combat just a little bit faster this game can be great

[@ylobenz]

Mk9 was fast as shit

[@ylobenz]

The camera movement and panning in this game is dogshit compared to the last 3 games

[@kruegerpoolthe13th]

@@ylobenz nowhere near as fast as MKX MKX is lightning fast, MK9 is relatively slow in comparison although not to the extent of MK11 which was far too slow

[@MTR_Nara]

This game looks so freaking good!

[@brucenatelee]

YOOO!!! I just noticed something: Kenshi and Ermac arguably have similar moves based on telekinesis and souls, namely a slam attack in previous games. Kenshi is wearing the same pants as Subzero, as well as red leg guards. Is Kenshi supposed to be the new Ermac, aka the new red "ninja" replacement?

[@brucenatelee]

I find it weird that the Kameo throw isn't just it's own thing, but is your forward throw, which I heard becomes a push without them. I always kinda hated how MK never had a feel for "grappling" like other fighters, including Street Fighter. It was usually the same throw animation, but forward or backwards. It's like a fighting game that doesn't "martial arts" it up enough. I think MK11 did change it, but now seems to have went backwards.

[@Flymehomegiantswan]

in the OG timeline ermac taught kenshi how to use telekinesis

[@vivekrserleena]

After seeing Street fighter 6 muscle physics, I was hoping to see something similar with MK1 but no muscle, no cloth physics( loincloth don't count) And most character models look too similarly proportioned body types. Oh change up scorpion a bit and we have subzero, lets make raiden and Kung lao be the same with different hats, Malina and Kitana are already twins no need to change that. I don't know man I'm disappointed.

[@blove88]

That Ninja Scroll fatality they gave Sub-Zero tho

[@matt_r.2510]

This was great. I'm loving the new art style and direction. I hope the combat gets fleshed out but Sub seems awesome so far!

[@Rhyds86]

Apologies but what do you mean exactly? It looks very reminiscent of the previous title, to my eyes.

[@zellorz]

@@Rhyds86 Agreed. At most, everything has a blue/orange tint now.

[@CrustedPork]

Are you high? Barely looks any different. Just looks "better" because of updated graphics. That's it. Also combat fleshed out? Sorry, game comes out VERY soon already. They aren't going to touch combat at this point lmfao. At all.

[@roundabout468]

​@@CrustedPorkI don't wanna keep replying to you but you're legit in every comment about someone hyped for the game being like "QUIT HAVING FUN!". They didn't invite your ass for the stress test and you're salty? 😂

[@DIESEL0725]

I'm wondering how they're gonna explain Scorpion and Sub-Zero being brothers and the backstory on that.
