    A hadouken lets you control the game, the other player has to react to it so you have the advantage. If you were having trouble getting in on a player spamming hadoukens it's not the games fault it's just you aren't good enough get through it, no offense intended. To say the game is just fireball spamming is just plain wrong, you'd get murdered by any half decent player if you tried it.

    I also mch prefer the SF method of doing fireballs to MKs where they don't cancel and are too fast and a character like liu kang can spam air and two types or air fireball and be impossible to get in on. It SF there's ways to get in on a fireball character while in MK a good fireball character can break the game.

    Turn that black outfit purple and she's basically Nina from Tekken.

    I think her outfits supposed to be Green. Thank You I knew I wasn't the only who caught that. She does look exactly like Nina from Tekken.

    I'm also surprised that Sonya is not sporting her usual green outfit. Don't think I like the new look to much.

    Anyways, there is a good interview with Ed Boon on Xbox Live today. Unfortunately though, he says nothing that hasn't been said before.

    Kratos may be joining the cast in the PS3 version:

    Wonder if 360 will get an exclusive character? I find these version exclusives most tiresome, even though I was happy to buy the GC version of Soul Calibur 2 back in 2003! Link FTW!

    I haven't played a game on my Xbox since I bought GTA IV and got bored with it but I'm seriously considering going back just for this game!

    lol , i dont see the skill in hadoken , not saying street fighter a bad game , just not a game for me , i own xmen vs street fighter for the ps1 and super street fighter 4 fo rthe ps3 and they were good while they lasted but quite annoying always playing against ryu or ken being on the otherside of the arena and havent to try to get across to a guy you spamming hadoken fire balls at me

    The skill in a projectile is not in the ability to do the move. This is where you're missing it, you're not seeing beyond the act of performing the move.

    The skill in a projectile attack is in using it to manipulate how the other player moves around the screen. It's a style of game play called zoning.

    The countering maneuver us picking correct moment to move around the pprojectile. A game like SF will allow a 30% or so damage punish in general over a poorly executed projectile.

    So every time you fling a projectile, you take a risk, which the other player will be looking to exploit.

    While I hope MK offers a balanced fighting game experience, I don't think it will be giving Irish gaming a moment like this any time soon.

    I'm not really sure how I feel about Kratos being in the game. It almost reeks of desperation on WBs and NRS part.

    Yes to the new additions to the rosters. Nice to hear that Quan Chi will actually be making an appearance. But a big bad NO to guest starring Kratos and god knows whoever else. MK has a huge cast to choose from. We don't need blow-ins from other franchises.

    I'm gonna be pissed if Kratos is broken because the game could have done with out him in the 1st place.

    I didn't even enjoy the God of War saga as much as say Devil May Cry or Ninja Gaiden 2 ones.
