That bothers me, too.

Yeah, I think a nose piercing is cool but they should have went with a ring.

I also want to punch cute puppies in the face whenever someone complains that Ermac and/or Reptile don't look like ninjas anymore. No they don't, because this is 2015 and they have the technology now to individualize characters. Why do so many MK fans still want half the roster to be ninja palette swaps like in the old days? Which was only the case because of restraints back then BTW.

I mean, there's plenty to bitch about Reptile and Ermac's appearance, but them not looking like ninjas shouldn't be an issue. You'll always have Scorp and Sub for that.

What i don't like:

Horrible UI, select screen is just grey squares, random looking fonts, just seems rushed.

I don't like how short reptile is compared to other characters (based select screen from last stream)

Sub Zeros glowing mask in one of his variations

Ermac floating yet being able to be tripped and affected by ground effects. Tho I think he looks BEAST.

Before you call me a hater this is from someone who preordered the game on steam.

However I do LOVE the towers with enemies appearing as little statues. That is awesome.

After seeing more Reptile videos, I have to say his sling shot force ball definitely makes this list.

I didn't like when the screen turned green in reptiles variation. Not a big deal but I think that could be displayed in a different way.

Yeah, I gotta say I don't love the UI in this game.

Raiden's default hat still looks bad. The rest of his (presumably) primary costume looks awesome.

I don't like Reptile's primary.

Sub-Zero's glowing mask looks silly, to say the least.

Aaaand the only people who dont have any issues is Dvorah, Ferra/Torr and Kotal.

Fuck yeah new people.

Ermac needs more red
Kung Lao looks fine
Subs mask looks kinda dumb
Fuck scorpion
Kitana looks fine
Raiden looks the same
Cassie needs her entire head fixed (hair, face, neck)
Kano looks fine
Kotal looks fine
Reptile looks meh (Could have looked waaaay better)


I think I missed somebody. I dunno. Fuck it
Those are my 2 quarters.

scorpions kunai is fucking stupid, so are his swords, hes meant to be a ninja, and has goth medieval weapons, hes a japanese ninja...give him a real lookin, kunai an a pair of chokuto.

I fucking HATE reptiles fatality of the head split. crush the head, them im fine... I hate the over use of split down the middle slice point fatalities....

Kitana's entire alternate costume. It's so boring. It looks like a reject concept for her or Mileena or Jade from MK9. NRS could have done better on Kitana's alternate.

Ermac's floating looks very awkward. Good idea, bad execution. In this instance, they should swallow pride and take it out.

I guess that force ball is gonna stay that way, huh? My apologies.

Not really a complaint I guess, but from his voice to his appearance, Reptile reminds me of the Green Goblin in the first Spider-Man movie.

Ermac. I don't mind the fact he is showing his face, and while he seemed to have a normal face before, I don't mind it that much. What it does bug me are the changes made to his physique and fighting. Both in MKD and MK9 Ermac body was bigger, and many people don't seem to notice it, but was also a part of his gamplay. His normals felt both heavy,precise, and strong, and even in his specials that seems changed, it's like he makes no effort to use his TK, while he had always accompanied that with his body a lot more. In some ways I feel his gameplay resembles more Raven from injustice than it does Ermac, i mean, the way he does things, not the things he actually does. He wasn't all about telekinesis, I used to be able to see the strong body with the experience of thousands of souls on his gameplay, on most of his strong and precise moves, and that is gone. All that floating around also bothers me, in his stance, in his throw, in his Xray...I just don't think it fits him at all.

Plus, god knows why, he wen't bad.

Now, please, if you do like it, that is ok, but this guy is just too different from the character I liked, at least be able to understand why it doesn't work for me.

Kung Lao's hat and Sub-Zero's unbreakable mask suck.

I liked the idea of Kitana using Jade's staff and glaive, but I didn't think they would give her Jade's moves. It could have been cool if Kitana used it in a different way, but giving her a Jade variation kinda sucks, I don't like that at all. Still think it makes sense storywise, but having Kitana use it differently would've been so much cooler.

What i personally liked about human reptile is precisely that he could deceive/infiltrate by looking like a regular human. I know he is called Reptile and looks like one too, but i hate they stopped doing the incognito/spying part of him that i REALLY liked (He was like that in the first 3 games and the movies).

Anyways, what really bugs me on MKX is how in the Invisibility variation he has his mask taken off and looks really bad. Here's hoping that when u pick the alternate costume his mask stays on at all time.

Yeah the ermac levitation is pretty weird. i don't see how that could be useful in a fight. It's a basic kick and teleport floating around. "Wow out" seems more useful to me but I don't play the flying types so I guess the potential isn't as obvious. Maybe if somebody is spamming quick projectiles I'd use it lol.

My all time biggest complaint about MortaL Kombat is the Flailed Shoulder Pads! It looks like NRS finally gave up on them. But we still have about 15 more characters we haven't seen yet. I pray to the Elder Gods that nobody will have those damn flailed shoulder pads!

Why the HeLL is SubZero armed to the teeth with Daggers when he can just make Ice-Daggers on the fly?!

Scorpion's swords look painfully generic. Especially after the awesomeness that was his swords in mk9 and Injustice.

I absolutely despise that Kung Lao has a whirlwind spin and a teleport. Design-Wise, it's never made any sense to me. But now he also looks a tad overpowered becuz of it.

Kano looks the best he ever has! But his cyber eye is way too bulky. I wish they would've modeled his face and cyber eye after the actor from the MK movie.

Everything about Reptile looks underwhelming, including his design. Sub-Zero's Unbreakable mask also looks pretty stupid.

They also look a bit too big for how quickly he's swinging them.

They look more medieval than ninja. Holding one sword behind back like a ninja would have been cooler but I guess Kenshi already has a similar samurai style.

Or even just making them smaller like in Injustice or MK2011.

Unbreakable Sub-Zero's glowing/frozen mask is meh

Only thing that bugs me so far is Jacqui's name.

I just don't like it, too similar to Jax but also I can just imagine how awful it sounds when the announcer says "Jacqui wins" after a victory.

Ok so everyone pretty much covered the basics, Reptiles acid effects, Subs mask, Cassies neck (its really just from certain angles for me), and Ermacs levitation and body type change that's pretty much it for me. Oh and Jades staff clashes with kitanas outfit but theres really nothing that can be done about that

U forgot Scorpion's swords. I assumed they were just place holders for awhile. But Launch is 2 months out, so I guess not :/
