Actualy if you play mk deception the guy who played both subzeros was different from the guy who played scorpion from mk3+

I was talking about the 2d MK games from where the palette swap = memory limitation thing came in.

Of course its possible that they DID use a palette swap, even with the different stances and character specific poses you can do 8 characters from the space of two.

and 8 from 2 is exactly what they did. It wasn't one guy who did all the ninjas it was 2 guys. When i mentioned deception I ment the videos that talked about the history of the characters. Just so we don't get confused.


scratch that your right sal devita played scorpion in mythologies subzero and some other unoficial stuff and motion capture. So yeah thats what confused me.

This also confuses me. Liu kangs story in mka http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iq36GDgl9JU apposed to his story on mkd I don't get how he could be a zombie still fighting his soul if in mkd it all ended with him completely coming back to life thanks to raiden.

That's because in Mortal Kombat games, not all endings are canonical.
For example, if you beat MK 2 with Baraka, you learn that he becomes king of Outworld, but we all know that has never truly happened.

That part makes sense. Alot of endings only tell what happens if they won, some still ends up part of the story. Luikang not only has this as his ending but as an unlockable costume and that confused me. I am one easily confused individual I know.

Well, Motaro's appearance is indeed the two-legged one previosly posted here. Khameleon is also in!

Can't wait to see how the storyline is gonna be wrapped up. Just don't fucking kill Shao Kahn off for good! I was pissed when that happened in Deadly Alliance, and Onaga has no personality!

Khameleon... I would really like to see how she looks like...

imagine, a female Reptile... *shivers*

Upon closer inspection, it is not Khameleon who is in, but rather Chameleon. Sorry about that.
Sareena, from MK Mythologies, also appears in Armageddon.

nope i wish but it's the male chameleon and he is a clear character with a color changing costume. Although the way character creation looks you might beable to create your own khameleon.


the reason why she is in is because she showed up in MKDA:TE for GBA.

Ed Boon talks about next gen kombat.
Obviously talking about Wii in that one sentence.

yeah thats been the huge talk. All the clean slate brand newness thats going to come with the next gens.

No, he is talking about a block button, or the lack of it. He must be.

Okay I'm starting to get a little worried now. It looks like every character has the exact same fatality. I've seen several characters punch and kick their oppenent and then rip their heart out or rip their head off. I'm hoping all of them have at least one character specific fatality or at least have something only a certain character can do in the KAF. Such as Sub-Zero freezing someone or Scorpion using his spear or flaming someone etc. If not then it's gonna get old quick seeing everyone do the same thing over and over again. Midway I hope you didn't screw this one up.

It's still in developement, so the same fatalities for everyone may just be placeholders.

Of course the MK team is not exactly known for not fucking up things.

IGN has posted the opening intro movie.

Every character will use the KAF system as their fatality. Some characters will have character specific enders to their fatality and that's it. Long story short, the fatalities are pretty generic and will get boring in no time. ;_;

Thats gay. In fact, the game just stopped being interesting. One of the main points in MKT was to watch every animation once (some of the finishers were downright absurd). To me anyway.

Totally agree here. One of the sole reasons I played Mortal Kombat was to execute and watch my fatalities over and over again since, at least, back then, they were all original.

Boon really took a step down with KAF.

I hope they make the xbox verison of this game work with XBOX360, otherwise I have to pick it up on PS2.

We're all disappointed, but it was likely either something new, or just re-using the same fatalities from MKDA and Deception. I think we can all agree that creating new unique fatalities for every single character just doesn't make sense considering how many there are. I'm also still willing to give this new system a chance before declaring it junk.

Though, I personally am much more interested in all the stories and the fate of all my favorite fighters.


Same. It's really unfortunate that it likely won't be backwards compatible out of the box. Hopefully in a future update eventually.

I agree with this one. It is bad enough that they screwed up motarow i doubt they would make the fatalitlies stay the way we all saw them. Although they promise many different moves you can do during a fatality. Either way you do the fatality the way you want so there are many different combos to it. It would be better for each character to have there own little signature moves for the fatalities you do. I am getting scared to but i am keeping faith as a mortal kombat fan and i will see what happens.

Anyone pick this up yet? I've been trying to rent it, but the Blockbusters here haven't gotten them yet. I'm sure I'll like it, but I'd like a few opinions of it before I buy it.

The KAF is defenitly gonna be a dissapointment to you guys. I personally don't mind it TOO much. I haven't played too much yet, but I had fun with the Kreate a Fighter. Not too many options for appearances, but custom movelists = win. This is defenitly not a good game for serious competition though... Oh, and Mortaro SUCKS in this game! Shao Khan is fun though...

KAF can be a disappointment but can sometimes be pretty funny. Konquest is more bizzare than ever but still really fun. Kreate a Fighter is cool too once you get some moolah and the krypt is pretty weak this time.

So, still no real strategy for winning aside from projectiles and button mashing? How's the online play?
