Mortal Kombat XL

On public tv?

So there was a Bo'Rai'Cho stream yesterday, it seems. Didn't catch it live, did Boon forget to announce it on his twitter?

I could fight you sometime, jetwave. Sounds like we're at about the same skill level and we have on the same system.

They announced during the Leatherface stream that there would be one at the same time both this week, and next week as well.

For the bloke without video access at the moment: What are BRC's variations, and how do they play?

Dragon Breath: gets some fire-breathing moves, it's all about flashy high-damage combos

Drunken Master: gets the ability to drink, giving him new moves for each level of drunkenness. Drunkenness is on a 10-second timer, after which he will go into a puking animation, opening him up, but drinking resets the timer, and several of his moves can be cancelled into it.

Bartitsu: Uses his cane for technical combos. Seems to take some influence from Liu Kang.

Is it true that all of his gross moves are in one variation? Also, the cane thing sounds awesome.

I think all of his puke moves are confined to Drunken Master, except his X-Ray (which starts as an unblockable vomit puddle). But his gas cloud is a common special in all of them. And most of his actions have a chance of just making a fart noise as he's doing them.

Actually, the gas cloud is really cool in Dragon Breath. The metre burn version lingers as a trap on screen, and it can be ignited by any of his fire moves.

Hmm. Well at least I can cut out most of the vomit.

Drunken Master seems to be the variation intended for high-level play, as managing his drunkenness is fairly complicated.

Thinking on it, all of his fart moves are common to all variations, but all the vomit (again, except the X-Ray) is confined to Drunken Master. There was one I wasn't sure of, but it was definitely effected by his drink level, so it was exclusive.

After looking at the Triborg gameplay, I'm definitely excited to use Smoke. A bit disappointed that I can't use smoke away and towards as freely, but it makes sense to limit that.

Bo looks alright too. I'm still unsure if I'm going to pay for the entire pack or not though.

Also, @fighting online: once I get PS Online again, I'm up for it. I still need to get Hotshot Johnny and Revenant Liu.

I just got those two this week, along with Injustice Scorpion, actually.

I'm going to try maining Leatherface, I already main Jason and, while he doesn't quite fit as well as Jason does, he looks fun

Alien Kombat Kast today!

Also people are still apparently finding secrets in the MK games. Guess Boon wasn't kidding.

Actually people have known about the EJB menus in the first three games for a while now. It'd do MUCH better to credit the ACTUAL guys who discovered the menus.

It's time to FIGHT!

Every Fatality from the Klassic angle. Most of them actually still look pretty good from this view.

I can't wait for Alien! I love that they kept him the same yet he has a MK style to him.

That's awesome.

Anyone here on PS 4?

They're killing me with these damn 7 gig updates, man!

Uuuuuuuuuuugh!

I am only 20 respect away from the Respected Fighter trophy, and I can not get a single person to pony up.

By the way, with the latest balance patch, "Mortal Kombat X" effectively no longer exists. The game now refers to itself as Mortal Kombat XL.

That's similar to my dead or alive 5 ultimate game referring to itself as dead or alive 5 last round after a recent update.

Well shit.

Then the original cover box is useless then?
