Yeah, on Twitter too. He's saying he used the wrong word, "revoked," in his tweet about his invite...and that because of that *and* him previously discussing names on stream, which were guesses not certainties, people assumed he had insider info and was reprimanded as a result.
To be honest, both him saying "revoked" instead of "I can no longer attend" or "I'm choked I won't make it," and the alternative...he leaked characters, got his invite revoked but is now using this as a cover, sound equally baffling and hard to believe? So I guess we see what shakes out tomorrow! Hah.
I'm such a non competitive scrub I barely even use the dial kombos and end up playing it like street fighter anyway.
I don't need to see them go, but I wouldn't mind it. As long as it's a 4 button fighter with a dedicated block, it will feel like MK to me.
Tinfoil hat/pipe dream time: if MK11 does get a fundamental overhaul, I suspect it would be to nudge it closer to Injustice to make reusing assets and design in another MKvDC game feasible.

Man, if that leaker is right Shang, Noob and Kabal already have me frothing at the mouth with anticipation.
After seeing Ronda's tweet with the invite it seems like she's probably in the game.
That and the presence of Joel McHale are enough for me to seriously cancel my pre-order.
Nothing against those two, I actually like them both a ton. It's just the thought of owning a video game with them as voice actors. I don't know why, but, ew.

Yeah if its true these 3 supposed characters who were not in MKX are coming back for MK11 that would be pretty hype.
I hope we get some gear system explanations. I'm going into it blind, having not played Injustice 2.
I hope we can
color individual clothing/gear pieces, and not have to pick a color swatch for the entire costume? Is it cosmetic only or is there damage stats applied? Is the gear system for appearance parts only, or are moves included? Can you "create a moveset", so to speak? Having certain moves tied to only certain variations in mkx was crap.

In Injustice 2, you pick a color swatch but they are generally really well done. The gear system is not just cosmetic, it applies bonuses to health/damage/specials/defense. Some epic gear pieces/sets do grant modifications to special moves. Special moves are included but independent of the actual gear itself; there's a separate two slots where you can assign bonus special moves (which are found in loot boxes sparsely). Once you've unlocked a few for a character you can mix and match them, although some are "strong" enough that they take both slots and can't be used in conjunction with others. Based on the name of the Kustom Variation thing, I would imagine the MK11 special move system has been changed/expanded on a bit though
Thanks for the info man, I appreciate it. Fingers crossed on not having color swatches, I come from creativity with the wwe games create a wrestler.
So I guess this could be the rumored Krushing Blows?
It's amazing how dumb some people are.

A day before. 1 day lmao. The Darwin Awards for esports.
So what is this like third strike type universal overheads? The mk+mp move.So I guess this could be the rumored Krushing Blows?

I thought Krushing Blows were basically the XRay replacements like we saw with Scorpion's hand being crushed. Just an outside look at everything.
Nah, I think Krushing blows will replace x-rays. I feel every character will have normals, supers and krushing blows (like at the end of the trailer)
Sounds like a sf-ex type universal guard break or a fully-charged focus attack to me
Mortal Kombat has been my favourite fighting franchise ever since playing it on SNES for the first time so it's really nice that it's released on Switch. I already have taken the evening off to watch the reveal/stream and everything.
Yeah, maybe not. The leak which is proving correct listed them separately from super moves, so I'm guessing it's a mechanic of some kind. Major counter hits with X-ray animation, crumple/launcher moves ala the Injustice bounce moves, meter burn normals? Could be anything really. We don't have long to wait now.
I hope nothing like the bounce moves exist in this game. They're what make Injustice suck in comparison to MK.
Scorpion already had a Crushing Blow in MKX.
Yes but maybe they repurposed them, I dunno, we'll see in a few hours
The punch in the MK11 gif already looks more meaty than this one. This one feels weightless in comparison.Scorpion already had a Crushing Blow in MKX.
I'm also kinda wondering because of the trailer if they will do the slow freeze frame thing from IJ2's winposes in fatalities now. Scorpion's fatality from the MKX trailer wound up being real, so it makes me think this one could be too and it freeze frames with the spear going through the head in the trailer. It even thematically makes sense in a way because this game has time travel.
Joel McHale is not in this game.
He's rumored to be involved in the new MK animated show, not MK11.
Dial a combo doesn't have anything to do with quarter circle motions. I am sure specials are still back forward motions like previous mks
Hit stop is love. Hit stop is life:

I guess I just think of the way it is implemented in a lot of fighting games with the action doing a complete pause at every hit. Looks like frame stutter to me.
Awesome CGI there. Nice to see two of my fave characters slugging it out (altho that werent the real Raiden).
