Mortal Kombat XL

You know, people keep SAYING that, but they never actually explain what they mean. Personally, I've never had any issues with the animation in MK 9 or Injustice. I think the problem is that, one, these games just do their animation in an entirely different way than Capcom, given that they use what's basically mocap. That, and you're more meant to play the game at 60 FPS, and most footage people see is at 30 FPS.

Hope Kano sucks a little less this time around, but Commando looks like a ton of fun to play as!

While I wouldn't say that I really noticed the stiff animations MK 9 or Injustice, there's an incredibly noticeable improvement when you look at MKX next to them.

I have a feeling Commando!Kano's AI is going to be an even bigger jackass than Noob Saibot's.

Telep- Kano grabs you and body slams you.

Fireball- Kano grabs you and knees you in the chest.

Low Punch- Kano grabs you, squeezes your skull, stabs you, then throws you back with a haymaker.

That's really going to suck during the story mode. Love that one move where he dashes forward and clotheslines you, though.

Hes gonna be fuckin awesome to play as. I usually hate grapple characters, but he looks fun in his Commando Variation.

Am I the only one who thinks that with his updated older appearance Kano now looks like a cyborg Shang Tsung?

I see the Shang Tsung in him, yeah.

Unfortunately, it also brings along memories of Iron Man 3's Mandarin...

Even the Mandarin didn't like Ironman 3's Mandarin

wait

But Deadpool did!◊

Deadpool is insane, Of course he liked it!

The Kombat Tether has a writeup of the Gamescom build of MKX.

Ferr/Torr's winpose sounds adorable.

Cassie's Xray -topples over in pain- That's what Max meant!

Does anyone wanna try to figure who's here?

The six characters from MK4 who aren't Quan Chi or Meat.

Skull guy is Reiko, calling it now.

I'm guessing four is Tanya.

Does the rightmost foot look like there's a peg leg or a walking stick next to it?

Yeah that's actually what I was wondering.

Also, Goro is a preorder bonus.

Don't suppose there's any chance he'll be available as DLC afterward?

My cousin's favorite character is Goro, and I'd personally love to sic Cassie on him.

I would pretty much guarantee it.

I'm pretty sure every piece of pre-order DLC was eventually made available for purchase for both MK 9 and Injustice.

Hope her dad taught her Goro's secret weakness.

Oh cool Goro's back and actually playable for real this time (Ya know other than that one challenge and modding.)
