-Hears Ronda Rousey-

Oh Netherrealm, you were doing so well and then decided "How can we screw it all up?"

Well when you think of it, the original MK was supposed to be based on Jean-Claude Van Damme. Ironically enough he went on to do a (horrible) Street Fighter movie.

Also, as cringeworthy as Rousey has gotten, she still thematically identifies with Sonya Blade?s character more than Kerri Hoskins or Bridget Wilson, even though I personally think either are more attractive.

As it is though, Skarlet?s combat looks outstanding even if she herself looks like a feminazi. Can?t wait to see the full roster. Will be preordering since there?s no other way around being able to access all future characters, and this is one series I?ve played from the beginning that has always delivered hundreds of hours of fun.

I was thinking more that she's a transphobic Sandy Hook truther and generally just an unpleasant person. Yech

People be talking about Ronda Rousey as if it was a household name. I never heard of this lady.
She was an UFC fighter known for being a braggart and claiming she was a badass and couldn't be beat, could even fight in the men's tournaments, and was in the Expendables movies, etc...
Then in her big match she lost in the first minute. Took a year off, rebuilt her reputation as a badass, and lost her comeback fight even quicker, and retired basically a laughing stock.

She is to competitive fighting what Michael Jordan was to baseball.

They implemented instant blocking from Blazblue and Guilty Gear, pretty smart of them, that's one of those mechanics where skill is rewarded best. When you see someone who has mastered it you know they're a competent player at the very least.

A lot of people are also excited they took the running out and have the meter fill automatically, which should lead to a vast reduction in spamming certain block strings, projectiles, etc. and matches devolving into 50/50 standoffs. Now only the meter fill speed will be affected by the power of the prior move being used. Having one for both offense and defense, as well as specific moves only being available once per match should lead to interesting situations as well.

This clip [https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-ocVc2A3qcQ] also does a good job of explaining how the ?Krushing Blow? mechanic appears to work, at least at this early stage.

It sounds pretty fun, they're apparently trying for more methodical, grounded gameplay compared to the utter rushdown of MKX.

They also somehow made it even gorier than MKX. Skeletons are officially vestigial in the Mortal Kombat universe.

She did manage a decent initial run, but yeah. She was pretty single discipline, and like some of the mens standouts, once the actual mixed-martial trained folks started coming up went the way of the dinosaur pretty quick.


Now she's in WWE and had a decent starting run. But then they hot-shotted her into the title, and she's kind of floundered by being set up as a babyface anytime she goes against more legitimate fan favorites. Which she hasn't exactly handled with the aplomb or showmanship (I don't know why they wrote her as a face to begin with, since celebrity name coming in and getting hyped into main event status is kind of an obvious heel angle (literally being done by Brock Lesnar right now)).

She could have made a decent heel. Keep the braggart lines and just flounder like she did in her actual fights

I am really not liking the costume design I am seeing, a lot of gaudy pointless crap all over them.

Also fuck all the perverts on MK11's steam forums. YOU DO NOT NEED TO SEE SONYA'S TITS! My fucking god. If you want a porn game pretending to be a fighting game, DOA is right there.

Aren't they also complaining that the most recent DOA has its female character wear too much clothing? I don't think they'll be happy until there's a Dead or Alive: Extreme Beach Fighting.

DoA has been trying to keep a low profile about its sexual content with its latest iteration but according to a recent interview with the creator of the game, he said he wanted to release this content but if people ***** about it on social media it makes it harder for him so he was asking the fans to "quietly enjoy" the sexual costumes and clothing damage. Basically, he hinted at a climate of sexual repression in the western gaming press circles.


He also suggested that despite the game being more toned down in the clothing damage area when it's out of the box, there could be some type of option setting dlc to increase it like how you could tweak the titty bounce physics of older DoA games, so the fans should quietly look forward to it.

If there was ever a most appropriate usage of the the popular term ?low-key?, this sounds like it could very well be it.

"Climate of sexual repression." Wow...I mean, right for the wrong reasons, I guess?

Don't really mind the options being added, though. Customers are customers. Still nice that "playing one-handed" isn't necessarily the default anymore.

Appropriate, but also completely futile and strangely myopic at the same time.

For anyone?s who?s worried the game won?t still have combos... [https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CShq7wrgM5M]

PNDK&M are pretty much the premiere pre-release resource as they?ve been digging as deep as possible for what they?ve had time with. Some early matches... [https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=iZqZvHf_TsA]

I might try Sub Zero [https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-154zuKMe4M] earlier than I originally thought; he looks to have some pretty cool new abilities (no pun).
