I'm still not excited. The roster is pathetically small and i'm not seeing enough returning faces. The under wraps story also means they can't excite me with the plot aswell.

Its all very lukewarm. I was super excited and loved MK9 (i bought it 3 times), but this is not interesting me at all. Designs are looking worse and the game is getting a way darker tone that makes the whole thing difficult to see. We need context on why we should care about these new characters and a larger roster is way more important than 3 versions of the same character.
As its looking, i am going to give this one a pass or only get a complete edition on sale. I expect them to get back on track with MKXI.

How is 26 - 32 small? :S


If you think i'm gonna count character versions as different characters, you are sorely mistaken.

I see 24 character slots on the character select. One will be Goro wich is the pre-order character that is probably OP, half complete, banned and useless and the other is the slot for the DLC characters. So... its more like 22. MK9 had 28 at launch and no boss type characters to fill it up.

I would much rather they had ditched the character versions and beefed up the roster. For example you are assuming certain characters will return. I want to know how you will feel if they dont. This shortened cast and what they touted as the biggest number of new characters in an MK game makes me worry that they are pulling a Street Fighter 3.

Stop it, you're wrong. The NEW updated beta character select screen is 26 not 24.


There'll be a box below the 25th, if they don't fully change the screen like I said they did for the past 3 games. (Yet you didn't listen).

MK9 had 27, not 28.

Wow...

I am not wrong. MK9 had 28 characters with Kratos, the playstation exclusive character.

For the rest, nevermind. I thought you wanted to have a friendly conversation, but on that, i was wrong.

My brother is hyped enough now that he's getting it day one.

I added to my post above, it's ridiculous to count Kratos. You keep ignoring the facts anyhow so no point in having a conversation with you.

There are 25 slots currently (26) and will very likely be more when the game comes out.

I am not ignoring facts. I said i reserve judgement for after i see the entire roster and how many new character and returning characters there will be. I dont know what your problem is with this.

Kratos wasnt a DLC character. He occupied the DLC character frame at launch wich was later also used for the DLC characters. There were 28 characters.

Why dont you tell us why its ridiculous to count him? Also, why are you ignoring the post reply i made to you and are still focusing on the first two posts like i said nothing after that? I think you are confusing something.

I didn't see your following post Nem.

If anything I don't think they've shown enough new characters, we've not had any new ones revealed since when the game was revealed back at E3 last year. I can't wait to see Erron Black/Forrest Fox and Takeda, not so keen on Jaquie Briggs tho.

MK9 was fan service, bringing back all the popular characters with just 1 newcomer, this one should be taking a step forward and establishing new characters. I'm hoping for at least another 5/6.

I am not opposed to new characters at all. I just dont get thrilled when some really cool characters get left out and some of the new ones turn out to not be great. For example El fuerte and Rufus in Street fighter 4 really werent my cup of tea.I would much rather have had say... Karin and Haggar for example.

But as i said, its something i can only fully judge after i know the full roster.

Fair enough. What will piss me off is if we have Cage and Sonya in this, they're redundent now we have Cassie Cage.

I'm interested in it, but have reservations. Will probably pick up either this or DoA Last Round. A demo of MKX would be very helpful in making that decision
