Does it make any sense to buy MK on PC? Did they ever fix the issues with MKX? How's the playerbase? Or is there crossplay?

Cassie was a good character by the time MKX ended. That was the whole point. Curious how the new generation is handled in 11.

Although none of MKX's newcomers have been revealed, who do you think will be a lock based on who NRS seemed to like and the players?

25 slots on the roster, but only 12 story chapters.
I imagine some of MKX's newcomers won't make the cut to make room for legacy characters and newcomers, while others are retained. If all 4 of the Kombat kids make a return at the expense of other character chapters in the story, I could see that being a huge issue for some. Although, it's possible they may do chapters with multiple characters in it like Injustice 2. Terra/Forr and Erron Black felt undercooked. Any chance of Black getting a second go around if the writers feel he has potential?

And would having MK11 with just 2 newcomers diminish some of the luster for what is expected in a fighting game sequel? I always thought that four or five was the sweet spot.

They did fix it, yes, a while after they said they weren't. The playerbase is dead though, and no crossplay. As a PC person myself, I'm not sure where to go with MK11.

I think all of them will return in some form. I think the only character that wasn't great was Jax's daughter. She wasn't all that different or even interesting.

That's actually how I was hoping it would work when Boon first mentioned "Fatal Blow". I wonder if Brutalities are still in.

They're in. Scorpion's screen had 2 i think?

London gameplay looked great though! As a filthy casual since the Fatal Blows are pretty the last chance "X Ray moves", are the 4 bars down in the corner the meter burns? I barely saw them used in the one pro match.

is that alexander gustaffson? lol

I'm actually starting to like this whole event, it fits that kinda trashy MK style well
