That stick is a ****ing monster.

I think it looks like a solid piece of kit.
I was expecting it to be more flimsy and lighter.I could store me fags and a few cans in it as well

In this trailer I saw a dragon chasing a helicopter, and then a helicopter chasing a dragon. I don't understand how you could want anything more than that:)

Johnny Cage and Quan Chi are already in, other characters are just a bonus.

James Forde · 27-03-2011 4:55pm

Looks good, plays smoothly. Unfortunately if you hit them to finish, the opponent seems to stand straight up and then fall back - wierd!

Never played MK before?

And what platform is that exclusive DLC for? Can't believe they don''t have Kintaro on the disc.

Nah, it's not exclusive DLC, the magazine got exclusive info on the DLC characters.

And sure tomayto - tomahto, Goro - Kintaro :pac:

Hygro · 28-03-2011 8:19am

seems like a half decent game alright, for a guy who's not really into fighters that much I do find myself pining for the days of yore when I was a young buck and able to dish of combo after combo on UMK3 on the PS1. This looks like a likely contender, though I'll wait and see what the story is with the price before I buy it (as well as reading what you guys have to say about the final product of course).

Until then, I've just downloaded MvC2 on the PSN and I'm gonna see if that's any use :pac:

Laaaaame.

Not to say Sheeva was much better

At least she had four arms.

GorySnake · 28-03-2011 8:13pm

Pretty much everywhere I've read, has said that is Sheeva's portrait.

Afro-Smoke is gonna be my main.

Doyler01 · 28-03-2011 10:39pm

Haven't been following this too closely.. but whats the deal with Kratos not being on the character select screen?

Also.. Y NO MONTAURO??

I want revenge on that greasy **** nut.

That's the 360 version

EDIT: No it ain't, He's probably in the DLC slots in the bottom corners

Slattsy · 28-03-2011 10:46pm

This is my cornern with MK :

I loved this is a kid growning up, was like in my top 3 favourite games.. but oldskool Street Fighter was brilliant too, however SF on the PS3 was total gak, everything about the game was such a let down.. (i nearly cried)
Im worried that MK will only do the same.

Will try a game or 2 before i even consider buying it.

I really hope its as good as it was.

Console specific characters?

I see they're hoping to challenge AE for Evo top spot with this one.

Not after you buy Ultimate MK 3 from the XBLA. Then you're afraid to go to sleep again.

ShaneU · 28-03-2011 11:41pm

Tried playing MK trilogy today, no move list and I couldn't remember 90% of the special moves, let alone the fatalities. And the run mechanic is still terrible

Sairus · 29-03-2011 12:56am

Aw, isn't Kintaro's ickle button nose just the cutest?

Also, that's definitely Sheeva at the bottom of the character select screen.

where the **** is the xbox demo
i reckon this will do well in sales, nostalgic factor and kids will like it too

Misty Chaos · 30-03-2011 3:23am

Screenshot of every stage in MK9.

*picks jaw up from floor*

I'll definitely be renting this, I think.

youcancallmeal · 30-03-2011 9:12am

Thats an awful lot of thrones :pac:
Some very nice looking stages there, have they said if they are interactive? Like uppercut your opponent into the acid pit?

Yep, most of them are interactive. Uppercut off the bridge, through them back into the man eating trees, hold opponents heads in front of subway trains, etc.

You'll need to buy an online pass for 800MSP this as well if you intend renting it longer for 2 days and want online play.

Warner Bros are going the way of EA, so new purchases of the game come bundled with an activation code allowing online play.

So if you buy 2nd hand or rent, you get 48 hrs of online play free. After that you'll need to buy a code for 800MSP to play online.
Apparently there's no reference to this on the box either, sneaky sneaky. A lot of 2nd hand buyers are going to get stung with this.
