Ed Boon Explains How Raiden's Changed in Mortal Kombat X

He was tellin' me bout moves and I was all "SHOW ME THE FATALITY, SON!"

And they delivered.

MK9 is still a decent game, no need for this IMO.

Raiden's got such an eye-popping style to him, how can anyone compete?

I was starting to worry no one would get that. Thank you for knowing about strange SNL comedy from 20 years ago. :)

Lookin' good. The three variants for each character'll will hopefully add some new depth to the game. Even my wife is excited for a new Mortal Kombat game.

It'd be nice if it was balanced, but in reality their will always be tiers. Anyway, I play Marvel, so I'm used to a little bit of unbalance gameplay...or a lot.

...stupid Virgil...

I'm so ready for this. GIVE IT TO ME BOON. GIVE IT TO ME NOW. *cries and pouts in the corner*

... I'll give them the benefit of the doubt since MK9 was so good, but this 3 styles thing seems like the worst idea for the series I've heard since the awkward transition to 3D in MK4. Not saying anything that hasn't already been said, but this reeks of always playing as 1/3rd of a character.

When I first heard about this I was hoping maybe it would just be past and present versions of characters or something. Young Cage would be faster, old Cage would hit harder or whatever. But this video just makes it look like an overcomplicated version of "OK, pick the 3 special moves you like."

Unlike some people here I think this will be great. Can't wait for the final game.

I find this disappointing. I thought each character would come with unique appearance and abilities for each version of them. Like you'd get a masked subzero, unmasked sub-zero and a cyborg sub all with different skillset. Or a Scorpion in MK1 outfit without swords vs fancy new scorpion with swords. Old Johnny Cage vs Young Johnny Cage.

This thing where it's just Raiden who looks identical regardless of skillset is just dumb. He might as well have all the powers then instead of splitting it up.

I'm a little disappointed that only raiden's hat seems to change, was hoping for more.

also i need my stryker and kitana man.
