What's new

Do you like anything better about the MK9 version of your character?

MK9 Reptile main
Mk9: had most swag with that acid hand and the forceball combos.
MKX: Stupid ass variations that could all have been ONE variation, weak ideas. Plays nothing like Mk9 reptile and weak damage dropped him on day 2 :(.

I miss everything about MK9 Sonya.

I don't care how many Top 8's she's in, I still think she's garbage AF. Yeah, having overhead and lows are great and all, but nothing could ever replace 114xxMSTackle/F1/4. And her Dive Kick... GOD, HER 6 FRAMES DIVE KICK. I miss that so much. :(

Guys, I need a hug. =(

I actually kinda wish MKX was MK9 with much more minor tweaks. Sure, new characters, but I liked the art in MK9 better, music, and it would have been really nice to not have to learn a whole new game again. I don't really care for the run, I liked dashing better (especially before they took away canceling it).

I really like this version of Sonya but I agree about mk9 sonya. She was nuts. D4 MS F1, safe EX cartwheel that launched into standing reset, 50/50 whenever she touched you. Instant air dive kick or whiff punch to dive kick on cross up lol. But she is def not garbage in this game. Just no where near as crazy as the MK9 version.

I know. I hear you on some of the variation stuff. None of Kitana's IMO look like the original renders due to variations. her mask and boots are black in assasin mode. royal storm she shows her face and I believe in some costumes of that variation she has a different headband. and Mournful of course looks different for obvious reasons. so really Kitana doesn't look like her primary models at all because of this. In all truth it is a minor complaint but still noticeable. It especially impacts her klassic costume. it's too much of a stark contrast. This is partially why I like the Revenant costumes a lot. they all look very good!
If you want, you can select no variation by pressing UU2 when you're in the variation select. Yeah, you'll miss out on a few moves, but concerning Kitana, you'll still have the fans which would be the most important special move.

You could also do that with Reptile and never even tell the difference :DOGE

Stryker and Jade are not in MKX.

For Johnny: I liked his stance animation better and I liked that he said money shot instead of martini shot now lol. Other than that, this Johnny is pretty fun in general and I like his reworked personality and playstyle, reminds me very much of an MK9 character.

For Sheeva (Goro): Other than actually being Sheeva, MKX Goro/Sheeva is better than MK9 Sheeva in every way from solid mids, good pokes, unblockable grabs, pounds, zoning, tick throws, armor, damage and versatility. I really like Goro's voice actor, personality and how powerful he feels to play as.
