    I wish the cyborg ninjas looked as they did in MK3. I don't like these new suits, they're atrocious.

    I think DLC is a great option, it gives them time to complete the characters and realising them while the game is already out, they way the put all the characters in armadeddon was a huge fail most of them seem like the halve of another one.
    I hope they add costumes to dlc because i preferred the scorpion and raiden from deadly alliance, and the smoke (whom i bet is gonna be the first dlc character) from shaolin monks was awesome.

    not saying street fighter X tekken is gonna be bad cause im getting both games but would it have made more sense to make street fighter X MK instead cause if you think about it the game would be a lot more balanced cause the MK fighters have fire balls as well as the street fighter guys or is it just me who thinks the and MK vs DCU was not a bad game It was not the best ether but the problem was it was not M Rated i think had it been M rated a lot more would have liked that being said fatalities were garbage but i have to say that The Jokers was one of my favorites in all the MK games

    I cant wait to play this
    but ive always had one problem with Mortal Kombat
    no matter how much i love the game and everythings its about
    i cant get past this one problem
    and thats the difficulty of pulling off some of the character fatalities

    i master Scorpin 100% every MK game
    so hes always easy
    but as far as other characters im like WTF!?

    my thing about fatalities
    is they should be like an enchanced signature move
    like throwing sub-zero's ice-ball or kung lao's hat during the finish him
    should initiate a fatality for that specific move

    if you think about it
    youve already won the match
    why should you have to memorize a ridiculous button combination
    to be rewarded for your 2 round victory?

    This really looks like the turn around for a very old franchise, I mean c'mon we all knew that MK Vs. DC was terrible, but this really looks good and I have been playing these games since the Super Nintendo era. Really looks like a good turn around for this franchise!

    goddamn dlc, why dont they put the charecters in the original game? wouldn't be surprised if they released someone popular like liu kang on dlc, money hungry ********!

    "All I want for the next chapter is a Mortal Kombat V.S. Killer Instinct. It will be way better than the one with DC... guaranteed!!!" that would be so amazing! hell just give me a killer instinct reboot and its a day one purchase for me. What is Rare doing sitting on such a great ip anyways?

    Jax and sonya will be two of the best fighers in the game. I would pick jax and break someones back and grab fools and say gotcha.

    It's going to have stiff competition with MvC3 and SF vs Tekken, but I've always loved Mortal Kombat - so I'm getting this day one and picking Nightwolf, Cyrax, and hopefully Kabal.

    @ChronoSerge
    John Tobias left the MK team awhile ago, I doubt it but it would be pretty awesome if he was on the team again......

    Ed Boon has been a hero of mine since the first MK. However, he needs a hair transplant right about now. He is looking almost grotesque with his hair. Hell, he makes enough money!! WTH? It does show that he isn't consumed with vanity, but come on Ed.. Do yourself a favor, you're a beautiful person. You deserve it!

    Is John Tobias working with Boon on this?
