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

Cool. Lots of great stuff to look forward to next year. I want Stryker to come back. I don't care if he is dead. He was one of my favorites from MK9.

Well I'm fucking pumped! Thous are some very interesting moves right there, and the combat is so fluid! I love the fact that they separated each characters abilities into three different classes. This will make multiplayer so much more fun and interesting! I hope it's just not a 3 to 4 movie variation, I hope the feel of gameplay is completely different ( I know I'm hoping for to much but I just want there to be a significant difference)! Either ways, this looks awesome.

But Holy shit, Raiden will be a tough enemy! Thous fucking moves look really spammable o_O

hot damn, this looks amazing!

Make room for the Boon!

I hope to hear more about this character variation system. Seems like some complex stuff. Wonder how it'll all work out.

The Boon has spoken. So does Richard Epcar, apparently, as Raiden.

I'm liking these character variations, although I'm cautiously optimistic. They might lead into variations that are never used in actual competitive play. I'm also not sure how many more different moves I have to memorize per character.

This new variant mechanic is interesting, but I just hope it desnt feel like youre getting 1/3rd of a character.

Geez' I can't wait for this!

My guess is, this will play just fine on current gen consoles, right? Still can't wait for this especially after MK9 pretty much was my entry point to the fighting game genre. I just really hope they will have better tutorials, challenge modes and versus with CPU's in this one, since MK9 was severly lacking in modes that would have helped new players get into the game.

Interesting. It almost feels like a nod to the fighting styles from the 3D Mortal Kombat games, although it sounds as though this is more a case of just picking one for the whole fight. I like the options to mix it up though, seems like they've struck a good balance of different styles - one focused on offensive abilities, one for increasing mobility, and one which allows you to control space.

Definitely looking forward to trying the last one out and seeing how it functions in practice and how versatile it is. I loved learning Rachel in BlazBlue with her very trap-heavy style that really locks down your opponent's mobility because it felt so different from how I normally approach fighting games. I don't expect this to be quite so extreme as it's just an alteration from his normal style, but it should be fun to try out nevertheless.

I'm also just generally looking forward to playing some more MK. 9's story was a great time.

Wow, This is actually looking like a sweet game. Might actually have to pick this up after not buying a MK game since MK2 :o

Love me some Boon.

MK X looks to 9 as 2 does to 1. It looks like X has a real serious, dark tone to it, very reminiscent of 2, which was my favorite. This is looking better and better.
