Here's a quick bit of trivia for you: there was a revision of Ultimate MK3 released in Chicago around the Midway HQ called UMK3 Wavenet; it used T1 lines connected to the Chicago HQ for network play. There were a bunch of balancing changes and Noob Saibot was selectable by performing the Human Smoke code after selecting Kano. He had his teleport from the home UMK3 versions and Trilogy. People are still looking for an arcade board to this day...
My favorite of that era is Trilogy and I still can pick it up and play as Chameleon. I also could pull of all the special moves from all the Ninjas, so no matter what Chameleon was colored as I could dominate, which was awesome.
They brought him back in armageddon too, which was amazing

...And they'll do it again after Season Two's done, mark my words.
What with KI2 being pretty much confirmed as being next up, I'm going to wait. Because I swear, attest and aver right now that as soon as the roster is finalized, there'll be some sort of ludicrous all-in-one package that includes absolutely everything, KI1 and KI2. Just wait. It's allll about the nickel-and-diming.
Thats a shame. To have all three of them AND a daughter is quite a lot of generic white people fighting. Waste of character slots, i think. Need more Ninjas! Ermac, Nood, Smoke etc...
So, I tested a few MUGEN remakes of Mortal Kombat, and the one that I loved the most is Mortal Kombat Project Revitalized. This is what Mortal Kombat Trilogy should have been. It's everything an old-school MK fan would want, and then some. It even contains lovingly crafted 2D conversions of characters and stages from MK4 onward. Plus, it's tough as nails, and full of little surprises. It's the Sonic Mania of MK, a true love letter to the classic games, and then some. It easily stands on the shoulders of giants, and in many cases effortlessly surpasses them... Okay, enough gushing. Oh, and it's FREE! Link in the video's description. @Shadaloo , go, go, goooo!
Coincidentally, I've been tinkering with Mugen a little over the past 2 weeks. Gonna make me a version that excludes all the silly fan characters and just adds the MK4 guys, gives Smoke his MK9 moves.
Still playing 11, but giving it a rest for now until Sindel comes out in 2 weeks. Really looking forward to her.
Will do. I'm poking about to find the best fan creations and good looking extra stages, things that really have the good MK feel. I'll let you know
Fighters have always been a single-player-or-with-friends experience for me when I'm at home. Online gaming is no replacement for in-person arcade interaction to me; I don't want to be set up against literal ten-year old kids or figurative ones who use racial or sexist slurs, both of which I was within the first two days of online play.
I can remember getting into an actual fight in the arcades over whether Dan was selectable in Alpha 1, thrown hands and all. Between the childish behavior, lag exploits,empty death threats, awful ranking system....yeah, fuck that noise. I play within my MK discord group and that's about it.
I'm much more fond of MK11's speed than I was X's though. Feels more like an amped-up MK2 than a cracked-out UMK3 and for that I enjoy it much more.
The Kombat pass has been hit or miss for me, but overall I'm glad I got it for movie Shang Tsung with coat, Nightwolf (after I removed that stupid helmet), Sindel, and the MK2 and 3 retro outfits. Kabal seriously needs one too though...

Sindel's backstory has been retconned so now she was always evil and she killed Jerrod.
This is in the same game where D'Vorah claims in dialogue with Kitana that she killed Jerrod
And the Krypt says that Kahn killed Jerrod, which has always been the case.
Why do they hire these hack writers
I would actually buy kk dlc if it wasn't so heavy on guests
$40.00?
Piss off. I’m not buying it.
They should have a discount for people that bought Premium, 40 is wayyyy too much.
I'll be putting down for Fujin because the fanbase, myself included, has wanted him back for years, and because Cary Tagawa as Shang Tsung in a new Story mode is worth the price of admission to me. Sheeva's a bonus, Sub-Zero has his highly-requested Deception outfit, so I'm happy in this case. Plus Dead Pool, Soul Chamber and "Retrokade" (whatever that is) stages.
You'll probably be able to buy the characters individually, that's always been an option.
Fucking Robocop though, why
Who over there is so desperate to revisit movies that haven't had good entries in over 25 years?
I hate their guest characters in this series. He seems like he's part of the story expansion also, ugh.
As for the pricepoint, I blew $100.00 on Ultimate Edition (can't complain as an early adopter blah blah blah) on launch. Then a year later I pay 2/3rds of a $60.00 price tag for a story add-on and 3 new characters meanwhile people who didn't buy upon launch or starting year of game get the new expansion and everything I paid for at $60.00? Not playing that shit. XL wasn't so bad but this shit is overpriced and a price gouge to people like me. I'm buying it at a 75% off price drop or never at all. I don't typically make a stand with stupid "game boycotts" but this is one I'm going to. Also hurts since I don't really like MK11 overall as a product anyways.
Nah, he wouldn't be. They have a policy of not including guests in Story, I'd say the editing in the trailer is just weirdly linear.
I agree the price hurts and there should be some kind of discount if you own the game and the KP. Leave it to WB to bleed their fans dry.
I don't hate the game, I quite liked the combat and the story didn't shit the bed as hard as I was expecting it to, but the game economy, the grindfest of a ruined Krypt and a halfway-useless gear system really bummed me out. I like Story mode okay, but I wish they'd stop trying to pad their games out and just deliver a sane, confident fighter.
I'm not really interested to see what they do with Robocop after the way they represented Joker... that was lame.
I enjoyed a YouTube video of the robocop content. But that’s all I need, a video, for all of the guests really... no need to buy the game
