I'm pretty certain Sheeva's TS move and her teleport aren't blockable, as for Rain I've seen a lot of his vids, his lightning move is definitely NOT blockable, you have to either jump or sidestep to avoid it.

Chameleon also has this move hehehe.

BTW, Chameleon has 5 key moves from some of the ninjas just in case you guys are wondering to those who don't know.

Sub's cold shoulder
Reptile's dash
Rain's Lightning bolt(unblockable)
Ermac's green wave fireball
Scorpion's MK:D teleport kick

His lightning bolt will be key and I know some here might disagree with this but the cold shoulder isn't a bad move when used wisely, if the match comes down to it you hold block and buffer it, I think it'll be a great tactic.

I've noticed something interesting with Chameleon's video, I could be wrong.

When Chameleon did Sub-Zero's move, he was blue.
When he did the telekinetic move, he was red.
When he did the lightning move, he was purple.

I was wondering if it was just when he did a certain move, then he changed into that particular color.

Or is it you have to wait to be that color, then you can do the move, like Chameleon in MKT?


Darrius special got parried. I don't know if I like having special moves being parried.

I have to admit I am kind of disappointed that majority the deception characters are pretty much copy and paste.
Especially when certain characters (Sindel) kind of need a revamping. I still can't believe she still has that leg throw..

Ashrah looks really weak in her video.

I think chamelion is like the MKT chamelion. You wait for the color and then you cast, but it did seem like the ermac shot came out really suddenly. Either way guessing from this movie and others I'm almost certain he gets all the male ninjas moves or at least a majority of them, not just one from each. I know i've seen scorps teleport.

You're pretty much wrong.

Chameleon only got the moves listed in previouse post. He won't have a move from Noob or Smoke. And he can do the specials at any time.

Yes he does change to a specific color when he does do a specific special as seen in the new vid of his. Although if you aren't doing any special moves he will still turn different colors throughout the fight.

Ashrah looks, the same...Judging from other videos with tweaks to mkd's system, Ashrah will lose her free throws and her opponent will be able to roll away after being thrown...but it still juggles! Ash is not weak.

Cyrax; I'll take your word for it, mkf, see you online. It just seems dumb that everyone else has a functional projectile and Cyrax has this dumb thing that the opponet can actually just kick away from themselves. Unless its completely unblockable and you can do some creepy zone shit with timing it perfectly from far way, I dunno.

Darrius; m2, its definately not all attacks parryable because plenty of other vids (I think one of the Kitana / Mileena ones show generic low attacks beating properly timed parries. Then again, maybe all the specials are parryable regardless of range, that'd be dumb.

Chameleon; he just changes color to whoevers move you do, meaning, do a subby move he turns blue, do ermac red, etc. He doesn't seem to cycle on his own, and it doesn't really seem to matter much.

And on the subject of Rain's lightning, if you look at his video near the end his opponent literally walks out of the way of the Lightning on reaction, so they must've slowed it down. Wether that will translate online is yet to be seen.

Did anyone else notice that Frost's ground freeze whiff? I'd have to queue up MKDA again but I don't remember it being that easily sidestepped point blank.

-F.

Fenix, like I said, Chameleon will change colors still if you don't do any specials. I've seen it in other video's.

yea shes looking good still. her juggle damage looks to be the same after one hit pop ups (spin, f+1 etc).


sindel poor poor poor sindel i am crying inside i dont get why they wouldnt change her god awful throw. it shows ya they still arent testing stuff indepth. so we may see new kinds of glitches.




darrius df+3 special got parried, but then mileenas roll didnt get parried. im guessing thats proof of the low and high parries. others may of had proof but thats the 1st i seen it.


Daegons Fu Jow Pai's new combos are DANCOCK approved!!

i always had an issue w/ the 1,1,13,3 combo now they made it a 1,1,3 combo there was also another 1,1 kick combo maybe 4? but it looks worthless!! he may still have the 1,1,1,3,3 combo but pfft fuck that when theres a nice 1,1,2,cs combo still havent seen a fireball type of move :-/ i pray he has one and that its super fast not sure about using that rolling uppercut move much, it left him open for a long bit. the charging move is nice tho. his throw better be GREAT so ill be marching on over to midway screaming!

meat throw damage over 24% O_o yea his foe was in weapon but still O_o why have soem characters throw do 10% an others do over 20% ?? the damage should be the same for every character if you ask me.




WTF any one see Sonya do a 33% combo after the kiss move??? WTF is that shit Kira gets handcuffed w/ super lowered damage and sonya dishes out regular damage WTF

Kira is a n00b that's why.

Also,

You can NOT parry low attacks.

You can see Kitana trying to parry but Mileen's 4 (a low) still hits.

Yes you can...Darrius' df3 was parried...where does that hit?

Yes you can...Darrius' df3 was parried...where does that hit?

Special moves with body can be parried.

Read Master Malone before you go smart ass on me.

Thank god for that, low parries I was against a bit because that makes pokes virtually pointless if you ask me.My opinion.

It's not necessary, with high parries, te's and wake up in there now.

Fenix, yeah man he won't be that bad if you know how to use him.HIs moves aren't dumb if you know how to use them.


BTW, I know it wasn't in recent vids but one about a month or so ago with Kabal.Some of his hooksword combos altered a bit and now has juggle starters for air kombat.

Is it possible there actually is a low parry? I'd imagine you would press one direction and whatever button to do high/mid parry, and press like down and whatever button to do a low parry.

I'm just saying that the Mileena and Kitana thing isn't proof that you can't parry low. Though I'm not saying that you can parry low. Maybe you can parry any special that uses their body like Darrius' df+3 no matter where it hits? Or maybe df+3 isn't low in MKA???

I'm juss sayin'....

Question: What looks so good about Sareena so far? Ba Shan Fan isn't all that great of a style is it? And I forget how good her Demon Feng is (Li Mei's sword)? But is it her specials taht are makeing her look pretty good? She does have one crazy fast projectile.

Hmm,so low special moves can be parried by the parry,but not normal low moves?

This makes no sense.

or it could be a low parry being don eon darrius and a high one being done on mileena. simmer down, not even malone knows 100% for sure. its all speculation.



mkflegend~ kabal has 2 pop up comboc in MKD hook swords. b+2 and 2,1,4. where did you see the new pop up attack? are you talking about the new cs combo that pops up?

I couldn't see any new pop-ups for Kabal's hookswords. By the by I think Mavado's moveset will be exactly the same as Kabal's.

The likely absence of a low parry reinforces my impression that this game will be all about turtling and poking.

That's maybe the case...........

simmer down, not even malone knows 100% for sure. its all speculation.

I would love to do that, if only I knew what "to simmer down" means lol

I think the parry countering special low moves make sense IMO.Like the darrius move.

Reasons is because if the special move was a plant or broken that lead to FT's or infinites like in Darrius's case, you couldn't do shit.NOW you can thank god.

If the high parry works on both low and high special moves as long as there's no magic involved then hey, I'm all for that.As long as it works.

As for Liu Kang's post, well dude I can be wrong but I just think that if there was a low parry it would have been announced by now.

Don't you guys think?

But who knows, last year as malone told us they pulled a last minute move with the QR that was apparently a last minute decision for their wake up as it wasn't seen in ANY MK:D guides.

So, who knows if they decide to have the low parry in there.

If it's in there, what ever I'll use it if it's not I'll still enjoy this game regardless and believe I have enough now to help my game.

are harakiris still in MKA? I haven't seen one in any of the videos i watched lately.

are harakiris still in MKA? I haven't seen one in any of the videos i watched lately.

No.

did mokap steal scorpion backflip kick?

Mokap had a similar move in MKDA, where ot was also introduced to Scorpion, so I wouldn't exactly call it stealing.
