Am I weird for saying that I want to see everyone's unique block animation more than the returning ality?

My gut feeling is that the Friendships are back, despite that we already had humorous Babalities in the last game. Something just tells me its this.

If I'm wrong, hopefully it's Brutalities with a way to control your character during this like in Shaolin Monks.

Sign me up. Anyway back on topic What do you mean? How can block animation differ from character to character?

This whole site needs a complete make-over. The site is outdated as fuck!

I agree with Icebaby, it's a nice small detail to have. But with your question, like Scorpion blocking with fire, Sub with ice, Raiden with ice, Cassie with the green aura, D'Vorah with bugs?, Kotal with idk..but yeah, NRS is more than capable with coming up with very interesting ways for everyone to block in a different manner than putting they forearms up.

The sun.

It was stated in from the guys from the Kombat Tether when they interviewed that this was one information they got from them. Each character has their own block animation rather than just the ordinary block move.

That shows how much the developers are putting into this game, so I better not even see someone post about how the developers are lazy.

Didn't anybody but me notice the unique individual finish him/her dizzy animations?

Hmm it could work with some people but I don't think everyone. Like Sub could use ice, or Quan Chi could create a skull wall (from MKDA intro) but D'Vorah with bugs? It would indeed be a nice touch but I don't think it can be done simply because of how random it would look with some characters' powers.

Nah, unique blocking animations add way more at the end of the day than any finisher ever will. I'm kinda surprised it took NRS this long to do it. I remember seeing unique block animations in MvC1 and freaking out. Seeing venom create a shield with his logo on it every time he blocked still makes me unbelievably fuzzy inside.

And if Sub created an ice shield as a block animation... it's almost too sick to imagine. Do it, NRS.

The forum should've got one ages ago.

I just mean when she blocks, there's bugs. Not a wall of bugs when she blocks, same with them all. Just something very small. Like Scorpions hands have fire, and when blocking some little flares fly off. Nothing big, just a small effect.

In that case yeah, I think it would be a nice little touch. I believe they tried to do a similar thing with the breaker animation and the wake up animation in MK9 but didn't do it with all the characters. Not sure tho.
Nevertheless, if done right it could look awesome with some characters.
Great, now I can't stop thinking about Mileena blocking with her sais.

Agreed.

Individual block animations are great. Its just one more thing that gives characters personality and makes them more different.

Guess this may put my theory thread about this Sub-Zero to rest....

Yes! Finally, someone else notices!
I noticed it too in the Cassie Cage x D'Vorah video (showing Cassie's Fatality).

I love D'Vorah's animation. The bugs leave her and she jerks around in a temper tantrum disbelief.

They could be animalities with a "hemlock grove"-esque transformation.

Each? Or some?

@projectzero00- I'm praying Mileena makes it in! Right now she is the only character that I'm currently rooting for. I can deal with pretty much anyone not making the cut, but Mileena for some reason is one I couldn't deal with. For me she has been the MK poster girl for nearly ten years since Deception, so it'll be extremely odd if she doesn't make it. I'm also surprised we don't see as many Mileena fans requesting her than we do Kitana fans requesting Kitana, but maybe that's just from my vantage point.

Mileena is a MUST HAVE.

Yeah I noticed that a while back, it's pretty damn cool.

I'm looking forward to character reveals at Gamescom. If we don't get any, it'll be disappointing.

I also forgot to add that they have their own individual round loss faint animations as well.

Ed and ken lobb joked on twitter prior to e3 about working out a deal for KI guest characters in MKX. I really hoping this pans out.

As I posted in the twitter thread, "Boon is on his way home", leaving us with very little. When is the next convention and do you think we will see anything for MKX?

Next major gaming convention is Tokyo Game Show. Highly doubt MKX will be there.

Ok, thanks. Ya, it is very doubtful. If nothing will be at that convention, is there other ones after that? If not, we may get reveals/info via Twitter or leaks.
