" Hey guys, I heard we have zero faith in our game what can we do to make sure people buy it? QUICK TIME EVENTS THAT TOTALLY BREAK THE GAME AND MAKE IT LOOKS DUMB YAY! "
i am pretty fucking sure its just his grab move. every character has a grab move that is a bit of a lengthy animation, so the devs took advantage of this and decided to throw in a little GOW fun. it does NOT break the game. you're an ass. go back to street fighter ya troll.

" @EmuLeader It's a video for Kratos' gameplay of course they are going to show him doing some sick kombos, doesn't make him overpowered. The reason why he is not allowed at tournaments is to keep parity with the 360 version. It would be unfair for tournaments to allow Kratos and having people who have never faced him or have never even seen him fight him. "

AUTO-CORRECT. IRRITABILITY. ANAL SPELL-CHECKING... WINS.

Except a decent d-pab. Unless you got suckered into buying the remodeled controller. "
I wasn't suckered so much as I walked in to the store and purchased one.  Not that big of a deal when one has disposable income.

The QTE thing seems like something that would be in MVC3. Except this is less crazy.

Like the way they have worked his powers into his move sets, he seems well suited to this genre, the angry little greek.

I guess I have to catch on just how much damage someone can take in MK It seemed about everthing he did involved stabbing or slashing, some bone breaking in the end. 
 
He fits into the MK ethos(for me anyways,being on the outside of it) a bit too well. 
 
And I have to say it  and please I'm not trolling, because I know the dial for MK is set on 11.. What an over the top fucking asshole he is. That roaring routine. Soooome guys might like him.......

Cool. When you try to preemptively post the answer to stupid questions, you run the risk of people thinking YOU'RE stupid for even mentioning it. I love irony.

I always thought the MK games could use an angry, ancient Greek dude. 
Kratos seems like he fits in perfectly with the other fighters.

That's a terrible idea. Kratos at least fits the brutality of MK though he looks OP as fuck.

Pretty much. 360 doesn't get a bunch of scrubby players picking Kratos.

The QTE bit was hilarious: here's hoping there's also a QTE fatality as well.

I don't think I've ever audibly said the words "Fuck yeah" more during a trailer.

@Jethuty: I always assumed evo used the most responsive version of the game, i.e. arcade or 360 version. The controller lag is less substantial in capcom games for the box.

nope its always the ps3, since its the fastest. Like sf4 being 1 to 2 frames faster on the ps3 compared to the xbox 360, which some pros argue that they can feel a noticeable latency with their moves on the 360. 
 
in my oppinion its just a goddamn lame excuse for losing.

@Jethuty: Did some digging found out at least 70% of tourneys use 360, EVO uses Ps3's because they were purchased for use in a prior Tekken Tournament. Plus Sony's a sponsor, I guess. Spent way too much time looking into this, couldn't find a single undebated vid confirming your opine, nor mine on lag differences.

The one thing that I got from this is thinking about the possibilty of a new character for the 360 & the quick time bit which felt very out of place for MK made me think about the one finishing move from Comic Jumper, I think that he'd be a good fit for an additional character & yeah just need more games with that screen clearing Twisted Pixel FMV move.

Is the 360 getting another character? I don't think they have any exclusive character that would fit as well as Kratos, and Kratos doesn't really fit well in the game, IMHO.
