These info i've got from a guy in testyourmight.com

I've seen that there haven't be posted by anyone, here is the details :


Hey guys,

IMPORTANT - These are just cliff notes for now. They will be doing a full write up afterwards, but it'll be useful to update what's available in the current build as it's discovered, so stay tuned for that!

Our good friends over at The Kombat Tether have travelled to Gamescom from the UK just to cover as much as they can when it comes to Mortal Kombat X.

Here's what they have to report on the current build so far:

"Here are a handful of details we accumulated from today's play session of Mortal Kombat X. We are going to be as thorough as possible with more coverage over the next two days!

- Kano's Fatality: He slices the opponents abdomen open with his knife causing intestines and entrails to spill to the floor. He then gets behind the opponent and laser burns a gaping hole through the victims head with his eye implant.
- Kano refers to Raiden as 'the big cheese' in his intro and then tells him to get his 'crystal ball fixed'.
- Dash-Cancelling is a thing of the past. Runs can be cancelled mid-run however.
- Characters get a wet sheen over them in the Jungle stage when they are knocked into the water.
- Most environmental leveraging can be meter-burned.
- All characters have universal moves like an uppercut and sweep but in their own personalised style.
- It appears some characters have a unique blocking animation. Raiden utilises a column of electricity in his hands.

Plenty more koming! Stay tuned! ‪#‎Gamescom‬"

This is after their first day. They plan on playing every day to find out more information, including an interview with Ed Boon this Friday.


Will update when I can!

Updates:

Cassie's X-Ray - "She performs some swift acrobatics into a cartwheel and then uses an incendiary device, she then goes into the splits and performs a nasty ass ball punch (fully modelled and swinging) which causes them to explode. She then uses the butts of her twin akimbos to crush the opponents skull at the temples.

I missed the beginning of the X-Ray slightly hence 'swift acrobatics' but will make sure I watch it tomorrow with full focus to describe it exactly as is. "

Cybernetic Kano and D'Vorah: "It definitely felt zone heavy, a strong variation for him. I will say that D'Vorah impressed me the most out of everyone. She is also the favourite of one of the guys at NRS and he took the liberty to show off with her and she has some insane reach and combos. Definitely going to be high tier if you go by this early build. She is a beast!"

"All eight characters are available in the playable build. Kano is really awesome. His commando variation is my favourite. High and low counters, chokes, etc. His cannonballs feel weighty but powerful. Cybernetic is a lot of fun, very zone heavy. Eye lasers have sweep range unless enhanced."

Dash Cancelling: "You don't cancel the dash. It is the input command to run, the character hardly has any dash frames as it is instant. I was told point blank that there is no dash cancelling. Whether this changes later in development is anyone's guess, but right now, you cannot dash cancel. I tried it with blocking and it is not possible."

Footsies: "You can't really judge footsies at Gamescom when you're playing with people who are complete novices at a game that is not released yet. Raiden has an awesome anti-air special where he surrounds himself in a lightning blast which hits in the air only. Meter burn hits those on the ground too. Movement flows much better and dashes are rather quick. Overall has a faster pace than MK9 and I would say right now, marginally faster than Injustice. Though as the camera is close to the characters, it feels much more intense

Sounds pretty awesome! smile
I hope this doesn't disappear somehow...
*shifty eyes* Edit: Kano's Fatality is pretty much an inverted version of Scorpion's. Come the fuck on, NRS. You can do better than that.

I think Kano just jumped a few places up into my "Preferred characters" pantheon.

And this confirms that Cassie's split punch and cartwheel indeed are part of her X-ray move, and not actual special moves taken from mommy and daddy.

So any complaint of Cassie using her parents' moves is pointless. ^^

The character select screen looks like returning characters on top and New on the bottom.

I hope the crystal ball Kano is referring to is the amulet. I mean, it's not like that thing wasn't so important in the last game.

Oh shit.
Please tell me that they all still have the same frame properties and hitboxes when they do?
Is Kano all they're fucking doing for Gamescom or what? I thought they would have had a plan or atleast shown something new by now.

I think Kano WAS their GamesCom reveal and it just got leaked early by Eurogamer. Wouldn't be supprised if we got nothing else but I'd be completely shocked if they gave us some more stuffz.

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Hold the phone here! The Kombat Tether? From what I've heard they're a vicious gang of underground criminals. In fact, I think they're associated with the Black Dragon.

In all seriousness though, I'm not sure how I'll feel when I see fully modeled balls breaking in Cassie Cage's X-Ray. I mean, I've never had a problem with any of the other disgusting gruesome acts going on in Mortal Kombat. Even seeing intestines didn't bother me because they were so unconvincing (they might get to me in this game a bit though). I guess the thought of testicles popping strikes me as a totally different kind of painful. I wonder if there'll be a female equivalent to this X-Ray. Some kind of vagina buster or something?

Maximilian_Dood said there was like a "Camel-toe" when it was performed on a female character.

Knock this shit off. If was to be deleted it would have been done so by now.


... Anyways, I'm just excited to know how much detail is going into this. Especially after reading how characters have their own individual blocking animation.

So see, all those who thought the developers are lazy, looks like you could use a nice boink on the head.

This, I guess?

(Taken from their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/TheKombatTether/posts/677273799037462)

- Cassie Vs. Cassie intro: 'Ha, funny.' - 'What's funny is your face' - 'You just insulted yourself.'
- Scorpion is the most damaging character overall in the current build. Likely to change with later builds and patch updates.
- Some characters have button input taunts specific to certain variations. Cassie will perform a salute.
- Kano has 'Air Ball, Kano Ball, Up Ball and Knife Throw as his universal moves across all of his variations.
- Yellowish-green Player 2 colouring for Cassie.
- Increased frame data info in moves-list: Start up, active, recover, block advantage, hit advantage, cancel, etc.
- Kotal Kahn has some of the most damaging command input combos across all present characters.

NRS may be keeping the best for last? I'm guessing the convention runs until Sunday? If so, there is still lots of time.

I don't think so, because I've heard that they are only showing the game behind closed doors to media and such. Seems like they're being a bit more secretive with this one.
