Hector's a cool dude and always interviews well with Jeff. So this was quite alright.

looks cool, just a shame DC characters are generally boring. DC vs marvel would be cool, but that would probably never happen

He's been shown for a while now. They've showed his costume and everything I don't think he's been shown actually fighting though.

He looks like the comic version of Bane.

I wasn't really interested in this game but I am now on board after hearing about all the things that they're adding like tagging a move and the different control schemes. Sounds like they're making some smart moves in expanding the accessibility of the genre... to casuals like me anyways.

This is a really great interview. I maybe wasn't that interested in this game previously (even thought I absolutely loved MK9), but hearing them talk about how much they've worked on the gameplay sounds really great. It definitely has piqued my interest.

Very good interview.

I haven't seen much yet that addresses how some of these characters make sense in a stand-up fight. Is that what the armor on some of the characters is about? MK vs DC rationalized it as part of the rage virus or whatnot, right?

All I could think when I saw Superman's special move that knocked his opponent into space was that it would instantly kill half the characters on the roster.

Aside from nitpicky stuff like that, this conversation has definitely made me more interested. I feel like I need to go back and take another look at MK now, too.

I usually don't care about fighting games (almost entirely because I'm terrible at them), but Mortal Kombat had some really great single-player content so I'll definitely keep this one on my radar. Also, Hector Sanchez seems like a really cool dude, makes for a great interview.

After the story mode reveal I did a total 180 and was fully on board for the game. The fact that it has back to block and the option to set it up to play like SuStre has me even more excited. Also, Harley Quinn needs to be in the finals of the "Who would win" thing now ;)

The control scheme thing sounded really interesting. It almost feels like this is one step closer to Mortal Kombat vs Street Fighter.

I am exactly the same way. I don't really like fighting games but the new MK was great and I hope this game will be equally as great.

You're confused with Hawkeye, this is Green Arrow. DC's Bow and Arrow guy. :)

I'm no fan of the old MK games, but it sounds like Netherrealm is turning over a new leaf. In-game frame data is a great feature.

Would really love to see this on PC!
