"Meet the Cast of Armageddon"
The Good
1) Sektor's Duel Pulse Blades - These look great. I'm glad that they did not take the easy way out and just swap colors of the blade from Cyrax. Now I am hoping that they will play just like Quan Chi's Broad
Swords.
2) Falling Cliff Level - It appears in the fight with Kenshi and Sheeva, that the Falling Cliff Level is back in the Installment of MKA. This was one of the freshest ideas in MKD, and I am glad it made a return.
3) Jarek's "spear and toss" special - This looks to be one of the best moves so far in MKA as far as I'm concerned.
4) Our first glimpse of Kung Lao in Action - I know I was waiting for it, and from the other post a few other people were as well. He looks great, with faster gameplay he may very well be one of the best warriors in this installment. Now Hopefully he gets his MK2 look for his Alt, and all will be fine.
5) Blaze's Teleport - I could not be happier with a choice for a new boss, fresh meat, big, and QUICK. He looks to pose a huge challenge for a boss, even if the gameplay is on normal, which will make the final fight more exciting nd hopefully less predictable.
6) Cyrax? - It looked to me that Cyrax kicked the bomb towards nightwolf after he backed away, It was hard to tell, but if this is true, then those bombs may be more useful than they were in MKDA.
7) Motaro Charge - This was the first time I noticed him do a special, and it looked great, alot of force, and the best thing going for him since we discovered the disappearing of his other half.
8) Stryker! - These clips are short I know but I was overly impressed with how well that tazer looked in 3-D. It makes it more optimistic now to play as him and see what else he might have in store for us.
9) Shinnok's weapon - Though it will most likely play just the same as a regular staff, I am very glad the did not decide to go with a regual staff and atleast make it visually better for the boss of Mk4.
10) Knocking players up to another level - This looked so well done when Sindel knocked her opponent up to the next level.
The Bad
1) Motaro's Voice - Why does Motaro sound just like a regular human, we know why they had to take off his legs, but they could have easily made up for it with a deeper voice.
2) Kitana's Color - I must admitt, I was not that bothered by it with the other videos, but this video made her look TERRIBLE. Hell, if her name wasnt in the bar, and I would have thought maybe they decided to put Khameleon in afterall
3) Dark Raiden - I do believe now we hvae seen both his costumes, and they are the same from MKD. I was hoping for Nastolgic purposes they could have given him a look resembling his MK1 or 2 look.
4)Spearing Moloch - I dont like the idea of being able to spear someon of that size. His adantage is brute force, so it doesn't make much sense for scorpion to pull him over with such ease.
5) Lack of love for MKDA levels - Besides wanting the Acid Batch again, I thought MKDA had some of the greatest levels in this series, and it is a shame to not be able to see any of these come back(that we know of as of now) There were so many possibilities for Wu Shi ACadamy, House of Peraka, Shang's Palace, Sea Serpent Level and more. They semed to include alot from all the other games, btu yet none from this one.
Thats what I got from this video, overall I am very impressed, as well as the one featuring Arial Kombat. I'm glad Baraka has his MK2 outfit as an alt again as well. I was feeling down about this game for a few days, but after watching these videos I am begining to have a BETTER gut feeling.
