I've been preaching that since the WB buy out. Also, I enjoyed the game(definitely was a step in the right direction gameplay and story mode wise).

QFT,MKVSDC was the game to go,it has its flaws of course but it was PLAYABLE and less broken than MKD/A,shit,Deadly Alliance is better than those pieces of crap games,but scrubs here think that MK "gameplay" is uppercut someone into an acid pool,lol.

I prefer the fiery pits of the nethrealm over acid pools, but THiS IS MK

After the recent update you can see a still under the extras that show one of his fatalities and also he has a render popping up on the load screens.

Whenever I am online, in the bottom left stats, it will give me a number of how many wins with Jason have happened, or how many wins with certain Jason variations there have been. Which makes no damn sense.

Yeah I had the Jason load screen pop up once during a Test Your Luck Tower for some reason lol looks sick

Yup, I'm assuming they're going to be releasing Jason pretty soon.

Supposedly the 25th.

Thread updated with images.

Awesome! Glad the DLC characters get loading screens as well!

Right, but still no alt costumes it seems

He's not as rugged looking as he should be. He's way too clean, not beat up enough.

lamest dlc character we're getting...


what a wasted spot. I'm sure he'll have fans but fuck if I wouldn't prefer to get Fujin/Rain/Baraka/Shang Tsung/Smoke/Sektor/Noob Saibot/Reiko/Kai/Bo' Rai Cho instead...

I don't really care 4 Jason too, I hope he at least brings a lot of money for NRS. We need to support everything MK if we are true fans :P Well I won't pay for Tanya NEVER btw lol I prefer to pay for DLC tele tubie than her!

He'll get beat up plenty during the fight, don't worry.

Also, is he doing what I think he's doing?

pissing me off at how kombat pack holders get him the 25th... we should have gotten him yesterday god damn it, what happened to "a week early"

Tanya and Kira are my two favorite females in the series. I'm looking forward to tanya I need a female character to play in this game avidly.

Rain had his time in the spot light.

REALLY?

The most underused trilogy character had his time in the spot light?

The character that when he FINALLY gets to be part of the main story isn't playable has had his time in the spot light?

You kidding me?

Thank god he's returning as dlc in the next wave. He should already be there on day one, but better dlc than missing the ship altogether.

It still kind of gets me as to why he wasn't in MK9's initial roster, I feel like he should have been there before the likes Quan Chi or Cyber Sub-Zero, unless it was strictly because they knew he would sell well as DLC or something.

I do hope that if Rain becomes DLC that he gets his MK9 costume, I like that one much better than the one he has in MKX, it reminds me of his MKA one with that hair and I hate it lol

Do you just not like Jason or guest characters in general?

If it's guest characters (boy do I hope it is), why the fuck would you want him to bring money to nrs? That's the exact opposite of what you should want. You should want the guest characters to tank HARD in sales. And I mean fucking hard. If they bring money, next time you could get an entire pack with guest characters while your favorite MK characters, who belong in the MK game you just bought, are left behind.

Hell you already saw it happen in this game. Rain and Baraka are clear dlc characters that you're getting in the future and they got left behind to work on shit like Jason and Predator.

Want proof?
Check Goro's ending. Both Rain and Baraka have their mk9 costumes in it while Tanya has a Mk4 esque costume.
All those 3 got redesigned as late additions to the roster and ended up missing the day 1 roster. Pretty obvious to anyone with a working brain. Been saying this for quite a while...
Did get a confirmation last week when my question was asked to Ed Boon, on a stream, and it putted him so on the spot that he kinda confirmed that the story npc fightable characters "might" show up in the future.

You don't redesign characters for no reason...

but I digress.

I liked it.

Does help him get away of the ninja palette swap that he and the other ninjas had going on. What I want to see are his variations and the visual distinctions they have. Hope one of them is him unmasked. All the others get a costume or unmasked variation. He (and Tremor) should too.

you seem a bit overconfident, it's still a toss up whether or not they'll be dlc imo

Contradicting yourself a bit there.

Speaking of DLC, I had them all show up on my select screen once again when I booted up the game today. And same as before...it was just once.

What is this madness?
