Does anyone else think it strange that Young Jax looks younger than Jacqui?
He looks like her younger brother.... complete with baby-fat. Even older Jax looks just as young... with a fake beard.
Just found that trailer too. That Liu Kangs dragon fatality looked nice... very nice. And that seemed Jax very young version. And young Kitana, ... lots to see in this trailer.
Not liking Jax face, too different from his previous iteration. You can only recognize him because of the arms.
More to the end, who is that character that Cassie is fighting against?
Trailer music... sorry, but the music with the trailers are more miss than hit this time.
I think the dragon may be a part of Liu Kang's fatal blow rather than his fatality. this is just a guess but the lighting seems much more in line with the "dimmed lights" of fatal blows compared to the "lights off" of fatalities we have seen so far. Unless something in the background is significantly brightening the scene. I could be wrong.
Cassie is fighting Erron Black I believe but it is a bit odd to see him without his mask
This one is less a direct answer to you but more a general comment but I didn't mind Jax's face. At the very least im giving his face the benefit of the doubt that were still a ways from release and the trailer may not have done it justice.
That was my first thought too... but I think it could be Lui Kang's fatality because you could see Kung Lao's fatality and the background was also bright and not dark. I just hope we saw Lui Kang's fatality there.... I just hope for more magic and less dismembering
Jax your boring as fuck. This guy needs to sit out a game. Waste of a roster spot.
Yeah and Scorpion and Sub-Zero are just the most compelling characters in the whole series. Give me a break dude. The guy (generally) looks cool, he's got metal arms that alone justifies him being a mainstay on the roster next to spear and ice boy. (One of those two is my favorite character.)
I’m bored of those two as well with many others in the franchise. It’s not just Jax.
Didn't notice upon first viewing, but if you take a closer look at Old Jax's attire, he seems to be sporting a Team Kronika uniform similar to Geras & Frost.
This may explain why (like Frost) we've seen and heard so little about Jax thus far. Frost has always been a jerk, but I'm guessing Jax is going to play the role of the dejected hero, unhappy with the way things turned out, who's actually swayed by the villain's vision for an alternative path.
Which would also explain why Jacqui seems sided with Young Jax... who looks ready to punch Old Jax.
You get the feeling Jacqui's third outfit shown on stream was Kronika related? Cuz I did.
NRS trying their best to find shittier and shittier music to pair with their trailers. That being said, I still think the MKX reveal trailer music was the worst.
Inject that Liu Kang dragon fatality into my veins, please.

Metal arms... so Sektor and Cyrax should be mainstays too?
I'm just messing with you. I understand we will have mainstays but it'd be nice to have a little better rotation, and yes even if that does mean not having Sub-Zero and Scorpion in every game.
Despite this, I am ok with this roster. I will also say that with the general story plot of this game you would think they really have the option to have a trilogy/armageddon like cast since time travel is in play.
Some of you all always have something to b*tch about. It is getting really exhausting but to each hisn
In the immortal words of Ken Watanabe,
Let them fight.
True. But it is all so ungratefull.
We are getting a new mortal kombat game. Why b tch and moan about characters being a waste of roster space. I am really hyped for this game. I am even hyped after i found out my favorite character is going to die in the first chapter.
True. But it is all so ungratefull.

Ungrateful? Not really. We're fans, passionate fans. Nothing is gained from everyone always telling someone they're doing great and can do no wrong. Just look at Picassos' later output to see what I mean.
Glad to finally see *some* of Kitana. Out of all the characters, we’ve seen the least of her. Wonder why they’re keeping her out of the spotlight so much?
Save the best for last maybe

There is a fine line between passion and just being an ass about everything. Of course I see things i would do different or would like to see different. I wantend fujin or rain. But if i dont get them i wont Go off onto the whole internet

Sure but I don't see many people going over that line here. Sure it happens from time to time when tempers get flared. Some times people just gotta vent their frustrations and where better to do it than a place that is solely focused on your passion surrounded by people who share it. But more often than not I see most people being reasonably constructive.
I do however understand how it can just seem overwhelmingly negative to someone who just wants to love something. In which case I just recommend you scroll past my dude.

Ungrateful? Has nothing to do with gratitude. We all have preferences as to how we would like a MK game. Not sure how one post voicing an opinion constitutes as bitching and moaning. Not everybody is going to be pleased with everything in this game and it’s okay to voice that. I’m hyped for this game too but there’s certain things I could do without that’s all.

You can still criticize something while also having gratitude that a game is being made. Of course I'm happy that my favorite game series of all time is getting another release. No, I don't think rap music fits well with Mortal Kombat.
"That was easy"
Spoke too soon Lao
Kitana is starting to look like DLC unless she is the final reveal, which would be lame with the kollector (the sub boss possibly) and Cetrion still having no reveal yet. With them out, the leak of shinnok and mileena aren't credible but that also leaves a slot open for rain. We will most likely get the entire roster reveal when the beta comes out minus the kombat pack 1

Which would also explain why Jacqui seems sided with Young Jax... who looks ready to punch Old Jax.
But Older Jax in Team Kronika attire is also seen together with (Good) Raiden, Scorpion and Sub-Zero on the ship. The part were revenant Liu Kang is attacking Raiden.
We don't necessarily know that they're WITH Raiden, Raiden almost looks to be squaring off with them before Liu Kang jumps in. That said, Old Sub-Zero, Young Scorpion & Old Jax do appear fairly grouped which is still an odd mixup, so who the hell knows... I'm sure there will be more than a few "who's side are you really on?" allegiances questioned in this game.
The Cyborgs do seem to be sporting Kronika colors as well. So. I'm guessing she bumps off Triborg (no big loss) and takes the Tekunin as footsoldiers? *Shrug*
I notice there's a scene where Young Johnny is being reckless and Old Johnny says something like, "He's gonna get us both killed" but the interesting part is, Young Johnny appears to have a fresh cut on his cheek, and Old Johnny appears to have a matching scar on his cheek. So I'm guessing they're going to play an angle where the actions of the young characters have potentially dangerous ramifications on the old characters.
Finally I note a scene where Young Jax is beating up undead monks on what appears to be the ruins of Shang Tsung's island. These monks look similar to the ones we saw with the green soul glow in earlier trailers. I continue to have to wonder if Shang Tsung will play any sort of role in the story... we know about the Krypt and the DLC sure... but... how does he play into the story? (If at all)... I'm dying to see his character bio...
Or if the younger version dies then the older version dies as well. I would not be suprised if that is how at least one character gets bumped off. Probably Kano.
It's bad enough we have people constantly casually walking out of hell in this series, but now we have jerks like Geras respawning right on the spot.
Cheating bastard. Lol
Multiple images but zero gameplay still has me concerned that Kitana is just an NPC, lol. I need her reveal. She's my #2 character is the series despite both NRS and alot of people on this forum focusing WAY to much on the "princess" and apparently forgetting her kunoichi assassin-warrior aspects. People hear princess and immediately think she's some prissy delicate European trophy bimbo. They forget she's a warrior princess raised in a place filled with Tarkatans, Shokan, other monsters and their Emperor is Shao F'n Kahn. She needs to be a sexy badass again and not a helpless damsel in distress.
Isn't there another too?
There's 25 selectable characters (not incl. DLC or Kahn). Kronika isn't playable. We currently know 21.
