Give the actual link that shows this is true before you get a whole lot of users in here screaming "bull shit."

its right on his twitter.

Hoping the MK team doesn't have to remove too many violent features to reach the E-10 rating goal. Fingers krossed !!

@Pilcrowdesigns sorry bro, I disagree. An E-rated MK will reach more players! Plus we can replace Fatalities with Babalities & Friendships!

You do know that if it's rated E+10, it won't be a fighting game anymore. Since toned down fighting games can only be rated Teen. Nice try, still not buying it.

Guys, check the date. lol

That's why I'm not buying it either, but I thought the other reason why I'm not buying the news was more important than the date... Since the date should be the first thing to notice on a Twitter board.

I call Bull Shit! :D

Hmmmm..I guess that it's april fools everyday for Boon! lol

All of his posts on April 1st were April Fools Day jokes/gags. The whole "starting his first day at Capcom" and the one about Ken and Ryu etc. He's just having some fun and joking around, as I'm sure many of you have guessed by now.

April fool's.

Since I don't check Twitter accounts, I wouldn't have seen this, is this my fault? Yes, and no.

But, isn't kind of too late to still host April Fools?

I seen this and payed no second thought to it. It was obveoiusly april fools. How was anybody tricked? LOL that made me laugh.

Тhat's April's fool, fool.

I am amazed at how seriously some people take Ed Boon.

I mean, I dont even think you can make E-10 beat em ups... unless you put auto-friendships in after every round...

Fighting games can't exist if the game is rated E. Mild violence is the only violence the ESRB labels and since MK is pure violence, it can only be rated Teen for a toned down MK game.

Icebaby, in all due respect, as people have mentioned many times in this thread, it was obviously an April Fool's joke. Despite a fighting game not being able to be rated T, that has nothing to do with the fact that it was an April Fool's joke. If anything, it just enhances the joke itself.

Please don't take this as me trying to argue or say you're stupid.

*lol* april fools

Wow, I can't fathom that you actually believed that the rating was going down. This thread should be closed. It was obviously an april fools joke. E-10+ wouldn't even be a fighting game.

I wouldn't have bought it anyway since he questioned pushing the M rating over the summer

Oh no, I understood it was an April Fool's joke when someone mentioned it. See, I don't check Twitter, so technically I wouldn't have gotten that this was a joke. I know that since I don't check Twitter, I'm in for a joke. So, yeah, I'm saying myself that I got fooled but, I'm very gullible, that's a weakness.

Ed Boon posted it on 1ST OF APRIL! XD I can't believe someone believed it xD

Technically, the guy who made this thread posted it after April Fools, kinda lame to keep the holiday going after it passed. And I don't check Twitter. It's not my fault I don't stalk Ed every day on some website for news.

Yes, go ahead and laugh, I really don't care, I already admit I'm a very gullible person since I fall for pranks all the time with my friends so. I don't care.

Of course we shall laugh, it's hilarious when these pranks work, that's what they're for!
You need to lighten up a bit sometimes

I've been pranked a lot of times before in my life that I don't enjoy them anymore. One joke kind of went to an extreme, therefore I have a hard time getting over the fact that I was pranked.

Even though it was funny, still, I just don't like pranks in general.

yeah hector stated they wanted a rating between M and AO awhile ago...i actually had a discussion with icebaby that got a bit raw on the thread we spoke of it on. but yeah this thread should be closed.
