Clicky

I made an album covering all the neat stuff that goes on while you're simply picking a character.

I love how much personality this adds to everyone and how much life it brings to the select screen. Awesome job, NRS.

I really love the select screen in MKX, very unique. I can't wait to see some more of Reptile and his variations!

Congrats to the NetherRealm Studios and you sir for sharing the unique and precious animations with us. One more thing I would like to add is that there is another added slot at the end of the screen, that's cool beacause it means we will see one more kharacter as well. I'm totally impressed !

This is the best MK select screen by far, especially now that the fighters do that little walk away to prepare

Now if they would just give them real high Rez art on their character portraits instead of generic front facing profile pictures of their 3d models .....

That would be cool. But I think they're intentionally aiming for a simple, clean, minimalistic look. The fight UI reflects that, with it being more monochrome as opposed to very colorful and bright in MK9.

We have to deal with it guys, it will only be 24 characters + goro and DLC - one Guest character which spoils the spot of one character.

So, this is the final view.

I do agree with the other guy who said that portraits are rather ugly and dull, rather seen cooler portraits.

But the rest of the screen and the behavior is so awesome, especially that walking away part is awesome beyond awesome!

I really would like Mileena and Sektor in this game now, they would look glorious!

I'm hoping for good select music this time. Nothing boring and bland like in MKA/MKVSDC/MK9.

1-6 all had distinct and unique select music.

The select screen is amazing. Loving all the unique animations, so much character. I even love the hard shadows cast on the characters from the background elements.

I just noticed this, but doesn't Reptile's portrait image seem to have a different costume? The mask looks different, and there's no visible bone vest, instead he's got shoulder armour...

You're totally right. Didn't even notice it until you pointed it out. It looks like Reptile's may have been an alternate.

Just because there is one spot doesn't mean anything. They could, as a means of being more secretive this time around, move characters unlocked via story mode (which I'm inclined to believe there will be based on MK9) to that extra spot as well as a guest character, Goro and all upcoming DLC characters. It's not difficult to just scroll through their mugshots one by one in that extra slot and it eliminates the need for any further work to the select screen come time for DLC to be released.
