Board Thread:Mortal Kombat X/@comment-25163804-20150206204820

The second analysis of today comes from a Got Game video where Steve Masters is talking to Brian Goodman of NetherRealm about Mortal Kombat X. The following (images included) is from that video. Here is the link. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3LGPHw51UQ



According to the interview, one of the first things to note is that the story mode will have players jumping back and forth from character to character AND time period to time period. You may want to keep track of certain events, or else you might be lost in the dark. Asides from similar information on variations that we already know and Kung Lao's X-Ray on Kotal, nothing has really changed in the first two and a half minutes of the video.

Then, things start to get interesting. When talking about hte Living Towers, we see one



example of a Quick Tower, with two new characters on it: Some people have been saying the one below the bowman is Jax, which seems quite possible given how many dead characters are coming back. Speaking of the bowman, this is the first time we see his face, though it is hard to determine who it is; likely, a brand-new character (FINALLY!) will be revealed sometime soon. Also shown is some of the kombat from the Next video, but with more footage to follow up. For example,



when meter-burning Kitana's run into a stab, she pulls out the fan then stabs the foe (in this case, D'Vorah) in the back of the skull. Something to note as well is that D'Vorah's blood is now a sort of turquoise instead of red, meaning they've changed her blood color since the last time she was shown in gameplay (back in November of 2014, if I recall). Also, she now has a counter attack where she, if hit in the counter state, teleports above the foe and stabs them in the back before shanking them again a couple times, then handsprings away. I told you she was stab-happy earlier.

Something also worth noting is that Kitana is wearing all black in the variation where she goes toe-to-toe with D'Vorah, and later Kotal Kahn. This is probably an example of a variation of Kitana's, which there is another worth talking about. Speaking of Kotal, we see Kitana grab Kotal, stab him in the chest, then slash him with her fan to send him flying. The next time we see Kitana, she is wielding a staff. According to Nemesis (who now goes by HellSpawn666 right here on the Wiki), this variation is called Mournful. That staff Kitana is using is actually Jade's staff, and she also uses what appears to be a glaive, which is on her back. She also seems to have a spinning attack that pops up foes, much like Kung Lao. She follows this up with a staff attack that impales Quan Chi, then she kicks him off the staff before it shrinks down and goes back onto her hip. Now, we get some more information about the Faction Wars, but what I really want to talk about is a change that I noticed (thanks to Nemesis) is that for the Special Forces, what appears to be Sonya Blade is shown instead of Cassie Cage in the Next trailer. A possible leak that she's back? Maybe.
