I'd like to discuss the importance of these graphics features here and hopefully they will be addressed.

The announcer does not say "FIGHT!" after the first round is finished. When it says Round 2 or Final Round, the match just sort of starts. I was hoping they'd fix this issue, and yes I know they said in the twitch stream that nothing is finalized yet, but hopefully they will change this. MK is not Killer Instinct or Injustice(and boy do I love those games).

Please keep it the traditional way where the announcer always says FIGHT after every round.




I was very happy to see that they fixed the order of which the announcer says the name of the character who wins, and then FATALITY. In every MKX build before this version, he'd say Fatality first.

If you noticed, the word FATALITY was also a bigger and bolder font than the previous ones in the current build. I like it. Then the white bar above the word and under the characters name has also been upgraded, looks better IMO.

New FATALITY font:


Old FATALITY font:



Up next, the winning round indicator icon under the stamina bar.

Winning icon indicator:


Currently, it looks like you get half a circle for each round, and a full circle for winning 2 rounds. The shape resembles the amulet, circle outside with a small square hole in the middle. What do you guys think, should it stay the way it is or should it be changed? I believe in the past they used skulls. I could go either way I guess, this stuff doesn't bother me too much.

The Lifebars, stamina, EX or X-ray meters all look great! I'm glad this will not be changed, everything looks perfect there. The white transparent color is a nice change of the old green meters. I think it goes well with the overall direction of the game.

There are only 2.5 months left before the game is out, and now is the time to address and correct these issues. I remember during Deadly Alliances build up to the release, a lot of these issues were there too, if anyone else remembers, were fixed in the release version of the game.

I'd like to know your opinions on these matters, as it is important for me personally to help make this game the best it can possibly become, because as it stands, MKX is going to be the best Mortal Kombat game ever released, and possibly for a long time in years to come.
