Okay to start that is volume one blood ties of the comic it's right in the middle of the time between MK9 and MKX and This is starting to fill in the gaps of people wondering what was going on between the netherrealm war and the time when Shinnok awakens and comes back 25 years later Sure, and everyone's got kids like where these kids come from Disemerge fully form right the combat kids say the combat Some people say you can't judge a book by his cover, but I'm gonna go ahead and say yes Yes, you can this is a badass cover score in an awesome awesome book. That's a that's an Ivan Rice cover He's absolutely amazing artist. Can I put it down now? We've had we've been blessed with like awesome covers Oh, I love all the new covers that come out like I just talked to you like yeah I'm like I can't find my cano cover And he had one in the suitcase And I had a suitcase. Yeah, there we go. Yeah, I'm always prepared always prepared So we're just going to talk real quickly about the about the comic book Can I ask you some questions? Yeah, and then we're you're gonna I guess you want to hang out and watch me and Derek And you maybe you can play we can just mess around. Yeah. Yeah, I'll miss online We're gonna we have a belt by battle we do of course every week. Yeah, you guys very important You guys have to have to settle this once we go it would never really settle Until we get cancelled Last week's gonna retire as champion. That's the real question Well Sean already did yeah, he kind of did so he took that glory from us. We have respect for the belt and what it means So first of all, let's just talk about your history as a writer. Yeah Well, it all started in World War one. Oh, wow. My history look great No, my history as a writer. I I studied playwriting at NYU And had some fun making some things that nobody should watch now It's that I'm a different person but no, I was actually really lucky I had some success in college got some got to go to some film festivals and Get my work out to different people and get sort of a little career going that then I Switched away from that to go work at DC Comics Because that was a dream job and you guys know something about dream jobs giant dragon behind us in your office. Yeah But say I had that opportunity and I took it and it was really really amazing to get to be there for for so many games Including injustice Which you know in the work that I was doing I wasn't writing the games. It wasn't making the game So that should be very clear the the people who who? Design and make games are so much more talented than me That's that's a lot and but but they The creation product the creative process of a game is so different from what I was used to writing screenplays and plays And I got to experience that through You guys Rocksteady The team at Sonya that made DC Universe online like all of these this exposure was really instrumental in shaping me then As a creative person to go back out into the world leave DC And do some different work, and that's what's led me and you are now writing Mortal Kombat, which I would say Like I know back at DC. Yeah, which is So so when I left in HR like you have to have your exit interview and I left on good terms I Really loved DC that kind of broke my heart to leave, but I also knew I needed to try different things But they said they're like you'll be back, and it was like they were so confident at each other They're like we know you and your type. You'll be back Here we are here. We are no idea. You lost that bet. I did When I first first started working here It's like, you know like our fans are ravenous for the game and they're ravenous for the story So it's got to be for you like there's some weight on your shoulders to not screw this up to like to really tell The story and when I did screw it up. It was all just terrible I I took that very seriously knowing if you work with characters like Batman and Superman and you get some experience with the fan base and and right and how they're going to react to various Changes and to the things that are familiar choices choices and what was interesting was Getting to you know experience the story of Mortal Kombat X so long before everyone else They're like over a year before the game came out and then write a story set in that world And we dropped it on an unsuspecting public that that just had no idea was going So it was the first time that people saw Kotel Kahn right being Kotel Kahn It was the first time people saw Scorpion and he wasn't just so angry and right raging in vengeance. It's like Scorpion's a teacher What like I feel now I would tell people that I'd be like so what's the new book? I'm like well like Scorpion is you know He's a mentor and kind of a father figure and they're like no I don't believe it So I got to see that side of the community come out and just be like super supportive of these new These new treatments of the characters that was what surprised me. I expected to be roasted and it didn't happen. That's good Yeah, still time. They see us. It's still time So let's talk about like we all have our favorite characters Is there been a favorite character a moment from the comics that you kind of you're most proud of or you most like you Enjoyed the most Yes, several. Okay. I'll boil it down Scorpion's first kill. Yes. It was just like huge for me. Not because I hate Suhau, but Which I know everyone thinks is like oh you killed my favorite character cuz you hate him It's just the best thing for the story sometimes. Yeah, it kills you He's also 14 people's favorite. Oh, right. All right. Well those 14 people matter. They're very buggy Yes, and that's what I've kind of enjoyed the most about like my favorite moments panel in comparison to everyone else having a favorite Well, I didn't even know like that time my favorite characters sit in the background And you're like, oh my god, that's okay. We made your day. Yeah, I'm gonna have some of the game like some of the NPCs are like Oh, wow, awesome. You mean Blanche Blanche Will Blanche be in the comic? Uh, I I have actually written Blanche's name into some of the scripts and the descriptions And she never makes it in because I don't think the artists like pick up on it like they think I'm just referring to a generic outworlder No, no, no, no, she has a name She has a family. Blanche is the most important outworld. Yeah, absolutely. She has an achievement. She's only shopping. She's she's uh Well, so you were a tiger. You were at fatal 8. Yes And the fans were losing their minds at fatal 8 because during the the marketplace anytime it the Players were going off in the marketplace like everyone just wanted Blanche to get thrown. Yeah, just like grab the old lady That's what goes her name is Blanche Oh, man, she's so popular but things like that pop up in the book where it's just like I'm trying to mine the lore and the work that that everyone who's worked on world combat has done for over 20 years and and help fuse that into the book and Just makes it stronger. I mean, you know, we just we're just richer. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, okay, so This is Derek you have a question that is a bit difficult to explain. Yes So growing up there were characters that used to just kick my ass. Yeah, I hate it Yeah, is there any characters that used to kick your ass that you're like, I'm gonna kill you off now So that was Goro for me. Yeah In the I never made it to Goro in the snap in the arcades So when it came out on the Super NES that was that was my I'm like, I'm gonna find this Yeah, and he was so cheap Whatever they did to the AI in in that particular version of the game It is horrible. I think it's horrifying how just every time you get near him or you're half a screen away And he just goes grrr and you're like, I'm dead now. Yeah, and so I vowed But I would take him down. I rip his arms off. You did some work. Yeah, you went to work. You did some work I didn't kill him. No, it's not dead. No, well, you took away his forearms On Twitter, we've had a lot of people asking will we see some more of the origins of some of the other characters? Yes, you will we're not gonna go any deeper than that that will be happening. It will be happening I mean and it's not a thing that we do Just to do it. Yeah, right like we we do it because there's something like we had with some zero this week If you haven't read it go out chapter 16 download it now And we're back, you know, okay Sure, they were they were downloading it right but the The the comic will continue to go to places where the fans ask us to go and explain the things that that need to be there and as long as we Keep keep on moving into the future. We'll keep looking back to and seeing what what that holds Yeah, I also wanted to mention something before I forgot, um, you know what after where we're doing a comic book I'm like cool I hope the person who writes it has a good handle on this because they're gonna get skewered if they don't You've proven that you do and you've also proven to me, which I didn't know like you were at the fatal late Like you came to the fatal late and we're there like the whole view over there Yeah, I was screaming my head off There's like really intense. I love what he's doing and I also respect him because he is here watching the tournament. It was great Dude, well, I guess say I mean like pro gaming We live in the future where the end of the movie the wizard is real Right like it's not just a movie with Fred Savage and Jenny Lewis. That is awesome Like it's a real thing and I always I worked in advertising for a little while in between the the DC years and writing this book and What always surprised me was when I talked to people who worked in the games industry who had been to a pro gaming Yeah, event yet because once you go it changes the way that you view the streams It changes the way that you view the games It transforms this experience that we're also used to having a loan and in our space Into a real sports event into a real like they got it's like Roman epic Yeah, that room was loud. Yeah, so I'm glad you're there. I thought that was awesome But oh dude, I already respected the work you've done and then I respected you more as human being Let's go to a few things we got some other information. We're gonna give some people a Key character in the in the in the in the in the situation in the in the bus situation will the situation Will be there will be a character that will be a finish soon. Is that true? Yes Finished finished. Oh finished not coming back. I feel bad about it. It's but actually feel bad about it We don't know. Okay. It's not having Okay, and it's happening very soon a couple of weeks. So just for me I need to know. Yeah. Will Kano be making more appearances in the game. Absolutely in the comic in the game in the game quite a bit You guys yank it from the game. I would be so upset Such a violation of my rights as a gamer. So you we will see some more Kano. Yes.

Oh really? Yeah That's cool. Yeah, that's super cool. And we I think feeling an infiltrator So the comic the comic will keep going. It's going. Yeah, the comics got we've got 36 weeks to go or sorry We've got 36 weeks We're 16 weeks in so so I don't do math, but we've got we've got some more weeks So keep getting the comic book keep breathing.

So please treat it that way and Let's do this hashtag season to hashtag season to nice. Well, you want to stick around? Yes, awesome to you, man We thank you first of all time with the comic. It's so awesome to have you here I've loved everything you did and it's great to have you. It's crazy to be here everyone You need to know this room is smaller than it looks. Don't give up the magic man, but in the coolest way It's like but you don't need anything, right? All right. So rock-paper-scissors who goes first. All right One two three shoot. Ha one two three one two ten. I did all scissors all day I know you just stayed the course I was shocked. So here's just a little a little note, too. We're working. We're working on our infrastructure here in the room We don't have a proper like DSL cable line yet Okay, like we have work lines that have to be let go there's secure and whatnot So we have a strict mat so it will take a little longer to find matches And that's just because of the way we have our mat set up That will be changing in the coming weeks when we play against the community. So there may be a little waiting We were sorry for that. So we're just gonna do some player matches search now if you're so start searching So it's gonna take a few minutes. Yeah, not a little bit. Let's talk about where you guys are at in your rivalry. I Think it's like 35 to one Something on there. I'm not positive the exact number. What time? What are you doing to turn this around? You know what I practice a lot and it's just you know There's certain like I get nervous and stream when I'm playing. Yeah, it's and when we play your desk I do a lot better than I do on the street. Absolutely. I'm like, but no one sees that no one sees no and it makes me super sad that I I know I'm supposed to be doing it on stream not also. I talked so you would have to get you know, I do yeah I talked during the stream. So it's a problem for where I start focusing on what I'm doing sure sure So that's a problem and we like when I'll play people online, too Like people are like, oh, hey, how you doing? I don't like I'm doing great, but I don't talk when I fight I Absolutely opposite when I play this community. I talk too much. Well, that's probably why you got losses Right, man. I mean, I don't mean to say you just just went straight to the heart. Let's try this again here Yeah, are we you want to do players start off with I'm gonna rank. Okay. Yeah. Yeah We could do some more rock paper scissors. That was always fun. Yeah, I think I just want to know if you're gonna if You're just gonna rock that rock that scissor What was that? Yeah, every time for you and we could watch the film later to make sure See it is hard to win a game when there's something else going on right man, you can multitask But all right your odds are 99% I don't believe it. We should do each person twice. Yes. Yeah, this is on your account I know it's okay. Oh, no. Oh, they left us. He left us. Oh Back to the thing back to okay. Wait back. We were one of one. It was one one. Sorry. It's all right See, I was I was really respecting how much you Well last week I told Derek what I was going to choose before I chose it and it really messed you up It really did. I didn't think it was possible. Did you actually hope that this one? I did accept. Okay. Good Let's see. Is he going to accept it? I don't know or she. Oh, yeah, good call Texas Havoc I love the little scorpion. Oh, they're so good. The cuties. I got the Kano cutie. Oh, did you finally you've been wanting him? So toys wise like what what do you guys have right now of it that you've just gotten I have no toys You have toys because I'll take some toys. I don't know when stuff's coming out I heard like the mesco figures come out later this summer. Yeah, they look good, too Yeah, they look awesome and like the pop culture shock Stuff that I've seen in some of the conventions. Oh, which if you guys haven't seen these they're like two-foot stach There's a there's like classic ones. There's a classic Sub-zero that has a glowing ice fear in his hand. Do you want to take home the eight-foot tall stick scorpion? We have in the front dude. I it might fit my suitcase. Did you get a picture of it? So I need to get a picture with it. So it's so good. It's so big though. It's ridiculous It's like it's scorpion with termicort. You guys are talking during the intros, but we don't care now, right? Is that the thing? Do you saw it Jen's face? Do you see Jen's face? It just happened. And I said I wouldn't do it That was the one thing I said I wouldn't do before we started I'm so bad at scorpion sometimes Tyler just sewn on him out with those night. Oh Okay, here you go. All right quick boots of space take Thing uppercuts. He's got MK2 tactics. They're just working. You go go for it. Oh Very clutch very clutch. Super scary that time. I was terrified for you I didn't get my cool stuff off. Well, you want me to lose because you're a count No, I don't know. I don't know. I'm just zoned him. Oh, I'm good. Yeah Block and punish. There is Shoot I missed it Are you gonna be at any other conventions too after C2E2? I'll be at San Diego. Nice. Are you coming? I don't know probably not. I'll probably be sitting in the desk working in DLC. I will Before I go I will feel really awesome about going and then when I get there every year at San Diego I get overwhelmed by the second day like I really want to go home. Yeah But you you're on the California area, right? I live in LA. I grew up in New York And so the weather out here is more my Tyler's I missed my brutality. So stop trying to do the brutality. Yeah, we're here for dead. You know, it's a good win Every time the only time I've done a brutality was by accident. Nice, you know, it's a good But like I've been practice I've been practicing this one because you have to do five hits. Yeah with commit with subreddit Knoe Into I laser the ghost up meter burn. So I have to do hard. It's I have two bars of meter. Yeah No, I press rematch. I press rematch Damn it. I do it. This is the first time you've done. No, I did it last time. I have a chance now to yeah to do it So we're doing yourself So the retellings are such a pro move to me. Yeah, yeah And I was actually surprised if they laid when people were using them. Yeah, I didn't expect it was so hype It was awesome. It was it will Come out. Well come out search punching. Yeah, he just keeps punching right punches your head off It's awesome something some of them are really hard to do and some of them aren't and some of them come out by accident Yeah, like you never know what you're gonna get. Well, that was how I did it with the With with the codel con No, he's used his Sunbeam right and like the brutality is just the Sunbeam So right hit someone twice with it and I was basically just you know keeping this player As far away from me as I could So close to town. That's awesome. It's suddenly I was doing a brutality. That's awesome Yeah, I mean hitting somebody with the Sunbeam is actually really really fun to do. Yeah, I just keep caging them back You're like sitting my son. That's great. But then I mean I sound like a better player I can speak very Academically about the game, but I would not call myself. That's how I talk. That's how I talk to you Dude Tyler what one you're talking to you're not doing anything when you get close to I'm trying to do I know what you're trying to do anything dude. You guys are coming up against like 16 year old boys Yeah, and why yeah, oh no if you're yeah, they're all out of school now if you're like over 25 Your neurons don't fire fast enough to compete with Sonic fun We sure can try Oh, I love trying and when I pull out the wind it feels it nothing feels better. It's like we're in big gold belt It just feels right Tyler All right I'll show you Come on. Well, I don't know if you keep telling him to do it if he's actually he's probably also watching this He's just okay, let's see how many attacks we can make miss guys. Oh, there. Oh, there Tyler you took your hand off the controller. I got this. He's trying to do it. Oh, he's trying to do it Just wait There But that wasn't the one I wanted But you still got but you still did what I decided to do that time was set up for both Like have the throw and set up in case I couldn't get the other one, right? Thank you very much, Texas Havoc 69 Are you okay? So he moved on oh See you buddy. So we'll have Derek play so let's uh, you know, we're gonna do some searching Do you guys get confirmation during the streams much that that the people that you're playing are watching because wouldn't the lag Throw them off too. Well, that's if they were like playing through their computer, right? I'm gonna look on Twitter real quick and see if it makes anything it is funny though because I will play people online and After I beat them or they beat me. Yeah, they'll tweet and be like be like, yeah You're a good game or whatever. Yeah yesterday. I was playing some guy, right? And I was beating him and it felt good and he goes, you know what your belief is not as bad as online's been saying it is There's people say that's messed up, you know who started that Tyler it was me did I have a fake Twitter account. I believe it. I believe it Whoever it was left us my buddy just texted me and say got Chris Texted yes that 30% combo and brutality Nailed it. Yeah, he did nail it. I'm glad that everybody got to hear that I well, I think it's funny because we talked so much about you not doing the brutality Right, and you stubbornly insisted upon it and prevailed and almost lost I was I am not lying if I say that a Third or more of my losses are because of going for brutality. Yeah, I love taking people's knees out with Malina But you keep doing it and they start learning the blocker if they actually have promises you're just going to lose Okay, this guy's 62 aliens in my closet Man aliens in my aliens leave my closet aliens in my closet in the closet. It's like oh, it's in my closet This is like a oh, it's a Liu Kang Liu Kang's are tricky. That's what I'll say You just unlocked it I know but I don't want to just go straight to it right like I mean I mean you could I was trying to set up for the stream today and Derek's like can I do endless battles? I got to get the condom Malina. I'm like, you just gave off how we get it You don't care so are you guys at the point? We're just revealing secrets. Just like let's just do it Um as Tyler apparently is dropping occasionally is fun for people. Yeah. No, there's stuff They still found you there's still stuff in the game. They haven't found you like most likely All right Start out the meter roll nice and nailed it. Um, I'd also prefer if you didn't talk okay You guys have like clinics here where you You work with the designer directly and figure out Like how to communicate playing with different characters to people or like how like or is it more just You guys play the game a lot, you know, truthfully like when you have like esl Start doing some videos to kind of show you have a scorpion video come out last week to Help plays You know, truthfully like the great thing about the game is there's so many people in the community Who can talk about that so much better than me. Yeah, so they put it up on youtube And there's a ton of youtube stuff that like people who'll do 30 minute long I'm watching. I mean that's it actually to get into the mood of writing comics a lot of times. I just go to watch their YouTube videos or Especially love watching old evo tournaments, right? Yes. Absolutely. That's just that's the community crap right there How you doing Derek? He's not you know what he's trying to do. No, I don't There's I think there's brutality. Yeah Let's just quit. Let's dude. You're telling me Yeah, he talked so much shit on me last week for and you just and you just want twice What is this I've never seen this I mean I've seen that Straight up comboed into it. This is gonna be 40 some percent. Yeah 46 percent. Wow, not cool man Well, I just have any meter. So I got that going for me You can still zone me out Oh, I'm done. Oh, you can teleport Why don't you be quiet? I want to never notice the replay in the background. Yeah, it's a trailer. I've never noticed That's awesome and like like all you but all the levels can be thrown in here with their with their like interactibles. Yeah No I'll play Now you guys do you try to keep it clean cast? Like cussing? How often do you cuss? I will say the s word once in a while Like it's pretty much like when you're sitting in a couch with your buddy. This is it turns into it's something It's something just comes out because yeah, I mean, I'm not gonna be fake about it Like I when I get mad. I will say the s word. Oh, I did rematch. No You tell like so much shit about me You know, it's funny. It's funny about that though. You have to play him again. I know history assumed her to beat us off today See I knew about the interact But that they I think is what I'm playing. I'm never I'm never really like this Right So, yeah, if you don't know where someone are this one this will teach you Oh, that's interesting. He really wants that parry It's it's funny though. It's like we don't we don't play a lot of lukang here in the office, but so we don't see a lot of him It's easy to take lukang for granted because he's been In the oh so many of the games and there's so many new characters like reinvented characters It's funny to me that it seems like every lukang I run to into online is doing it lukang Yeah, like I haven't run into the lukangs who are like not that good. Yeah, I've heard I've heard he's a He's just a good all around He's good. He I feel personally these little he's kind of high execution for me But it's also for like a casual fan if you're good at fundamentals Yeah, like fireballs and doing your your kick. You know, you're uh the far kick. Yeah, you can really keep people out Like yeah using fundamentals. So I've seen a lot of that as well. This guy can have a little bit of both Yeah, I mean he combo into that uh That x-ray was pretty cool. That was really good. He's practiced that. Yeah Oh I thought he was gonna do it again for a second He's got the meter there. Yeah, that's right This back just anybody's game Oh not anymore. Oh, I feel so good Derek It is your account. Thank you. You can't really tell it me I'll leave you at one one. I'm sorry. You're gonna move on. That would be awesome. I was thinking maybe Um So you don't have to go online and get some of the people What would you think about I'll play another match. Okay, and then we can play a game or two of test your luck Will you win to that? Yeah, definitely that because that is that is it even because you know do not rematch again I can't go through that. It was just too much work. That was that was really uh, that was really intense Yeah, I didn't think I was gonna win. Are we defeated? Um, I just lost the time before that. Yeah. Yeah Wow Look at you. Put that on the tee and just all right. All right. That's uh, I like how you correct. That's one of those creepers though Oh, you're right. You totally just They're really into this one Remember last week though. Yeah, you lost a lot. Yeah, not a lot More than me. Yeah. Yeah, you're a very talented player. You're correct I think someone always has to lose right someone does we'd rather not be us. Yeah. Yeah, that's true Yeah, but someone We prefer it to be the community the people that bought the game This is that's the funny thing that I find of the the some of the fan feedback that you get That's so earnestly asking like do you just hate this and you're like No Like there's so much that goes into uh, putting a game like this together like working within the fiction that like What just what do you love and what do you need? Oh What I mean it happens it happens on tv all the time too. Yeah Characters die because it helps the story. Yeah, and I just have to actually sometimes if it is hateable It means it's it's noteworthy right people people actually care. It's really hard to make people care I'll be commando Yeah, do it up. I gotta see how these do I get to play them next time? Like yeah, yeah, we'll do it right this time Will we Uh, they had a random. I don't know. I think he just knows a lot of character. Oh look. He's talking to us Oh, hey there. I'm a boxer. Oh, he's a boxer. We don't have uh, Mike's in but you're on stream. So enjoy that I'm a boxer. I've got I think About what do you think the chances of him actually being a boxer? Good dude, what if that's carl weathers? I I'm 50 50 against jacks. Yeah jacks like Depending on the variation. He's just yelling at us. Yeah, probably I guess probably this oh he's using Oh no, oh no zoning tools. I'm done. I just froze up because it was an intro. I just had a mode of like don't don't even breathe, dude Yeah, that's the gen glare So far so good tyler Um, his blocking is real good. Oh, I have a feeling he's gonna keep doing that. Oh Oh Yes, good job Get up get on him tyler. There you go. Oh, what are you getting away from him for? I missed my foot. Oh, okay. All right. Here you go Pretty awesome waste from me today. Yeah I have a feeling he's gonna rinse and repeat. Yeah, he will I'm beginning to think that this wasn't a choice if I know a lot of characters Like right just going with whoever has the projectile that I like Okay Here you go. Oh, oh, oh, how he's getting in on you He can hear my comments. He's like I could combo too. Yeah, watch this like a couple all day. Watch me combo, man Oh, oh There you go. Don't forget your little pokes. I really kind of stand on me from What's he doing jumping at you? There you go see look at that get pokes Oh Right you notice There it is. Oh Derek, he has to concentrate. What's your what's your take on interact? Like how often do you use them and like when is the right time to? Um, that was right. Yeah Obviously people are like staying away from you and you're right by one that you can throw Obviously always do it if Blanche is available. She is basically needs to be thrown at all times. Yes Um, she's very needy Um and also getting out of corners because I will definitely get stuck in corners by some people Yeah, this is Tyler was there, but the canoes up ball definitely Honestly, like beating shinok it's sort of Required the use of the Oh, yeah, it was the only way to chip him down because he's got so many Yeah Oh boy Oh boy He doesn't know what to do with that. Tyler Oh It's okay, but you won you don't need a brutality when you got a win. Oh my gosh. Wow Don't don't don't no match man. Are you sweating? Is that a little okay? Good match, buddy. That means the water. Holy crap Buddy you're in it. I have so much trouble with that bazooka and I People zoning you in general just totally I'm getting more patient about it. Yeah, like I'll let some of them. Just block it out you know so don't I'm not pressing anything that was like a dark souls kind of match for you yeah well maybe he wants to leave us if you want to leave us go ahead and leave us like you just get the Malina what are you gonna do come back for more boxer you can do it boxer well now he's just holding us up you've got more than one character just push about buddy press press X all right you can play that game no we're not okay that's fine that's fine buddy let's go bring him he's definitely yelling he's definitely just just it was like oh it's a hatred all of me if you mean to us good no all right he likes the whole Briggs family like to protect I don't think it's family related no no did it do you pick the machine gun one yeah I do I do everybody's got tight yeah except for me I kind of I jump all over playing different characters it's sort of I lay I find someone with the style that I like and then I try whatever is the opposite of that yeah if you want to get a badge for me the easiest way is to find a day that I've practiced a character for ten minutes in the training mode I go right into playing the game yeah because you are like oh I'm good like I did not mess with me once I did pretty good he's really fun to play yeah you saw him feel it like yeah dude that actually that was what inspired me to go back to him and start practicing up a budget to let's see there has never been a Mortal Kombat game but more ways to play yeah yeah there's so many like even if you don't play online there's so much stuff you can just do oh you're talking about game like I tried not to be a show or anything before the game came out because I wanted to spend more time with it myself even and it's just ridiculous how much it's funny how you talk like being a show because there are times I feel like that but then I always go back to the fact that I truly truly you just almost passed out after a match yeah I do love it I'm a shield but I really like play yeah man that guy oh man that was a tough match I'm not at 10 times at least that match that was that was you were like I had the feel of like like playing around in Dark Souls yeah try to beat that boss like I had to figure out what he was doing how I was doing it and how I could fix it and he changed it I would have lost in that situation I would have panicked like there's no way out man oh I'm known for panicking at the end of matches is it the grandmaster with the grandmaster when I when I meet grandmaster so zero yeah just get should I do it I it gets in my head take a leg take a leg I want to get the super leg sure yeah we'll try the other one then all right it's not looking good yeah cuz you can't teleporting now you're kidding he's not walking home today let's play let's put me to shame so good let's play let's play our championship match and we'll call the day all right it's gonna sound terrific oh we have birthday shout outs when we wanted to go birthday while we're giving this also I'll set this up right ahead I'm gonna you want to play Derek you play you play there no you know I'll play I'll play anything all right so birthday shoutouts right so we've got Mark Hackett happy birthday mark Tyler Tyler Barry people from the studio Mark Gossky Gorsky never guys oh really Gossky Gorsky sorry well I can't read Justin Berkey and Marco Neller and how do you say this one Artemis Prime Stephanie all happy birthday happy birthday yeah thank you we can't sing a song no we can't it's not legal we've run out of that room all right so let's do a little a two-player a test you know I love Derek you go first oh no okay no I'm still a little shaky from the last that's good point I'm going to do one of my favorite things I'm going to hidden cursor random select wow really well the great thing about this is like I probably have more experience playing the game than you do so thank you oh I'm doing it too I'm doing it too all right test looks a great way to like even the playing field yeah weird weird stuff yeah do you push it but you put it like right now I don't know what's happened oh we'll do five you find that's good so it gets a little chaotic yeah we play the game a little more you write the comic book a little more so if we were there you write the comic book well it's funny yeah I got to play the game a whole bunch of times but in every session it was like okay you have this much time go and I was okay every character every special move taking notes like why I watched a lot of fatalities just for for shits and giggles and it wasn't until I got my own character so you're some zero grand master was like my secret weakness so we need overpowered quicker up recovery core ruptures yeah so quick up recovery recovery is ridiculous yeah I think we're good yeah let's do it I'm hollywood cat I don't play this cat but you have there we go oh he's got a string that he's working with he's got that one one string up lasers about to drop on yeah oh what I want to do is get into the corner yeah laser laser that guy ladies are me oh I got oh boy that's recovery service through the wall yeah here it is oh no oh boy it's so close you also have super meter DJ in going on so yeah that's awesome throw that barrel it's unblockable he called it out I mean I probably should have a little more to scream that was awesome I get to lose and keep going yeah yeah yeah man you guys are the best we like losing to still be winning do you get different fighters yeah and picks what you like you know you maybe you like so much here I know he's my favorite like story wise yeah I think he's the one I'm just like because he's so different so I really like it in the story for the game because like there are parts of him that are not like he's not purely an evil man yeah there are there's definitely some there's reason yeah training room all day so I like I like his I like his attitude I never really I don't ever I like his attitude yeah I do like I think of him as the I think of him as a very Tony Soprano character because he's got those two sides he's crazy barbarian brute she gets the job done but he gets the job done and he's kind of a family infant timer striker says everybody's armor so we thought no dashing and weakened yeah all right oh shoot and strike will be shooting a player to it ran to assist oh I got you guys because I suck right well I didn't I didn't decide what you but I have probably played hate twice now and we're to the wise when it's full armor just buttons I have no idea what's going on so everybody's armored so don't get knocked down oh god that was happy yeah but it's like where's it if I'm sad going my favorite part is interesting goes ding ding ding ding oh how am I doing the dings somebody called Nick in I need to know how to do that's okay dude I was like but come as our registry he should be knocked down oh I can't even throw as well where no this is ridiculous if you mean ridiculous as in fun it's awesome it just doesn't make sense I feel like I should be winning oh what I really want to see is if fans of you if you're watching you know tweet at Netherrealm and tell us what kind of game time you've come up with your friends with oh yeah with the modifiers yeah like what modifiers for you guys let's do one more and then we'll be sure yeah I can't talk at the same time it's really hard it's really hard so yeah what modifiers you guys use like what what you have a name for the game things like that yeah respect I'm going to get shock no no I can't on this one yeah I'm gonna get a hold on hold on come Jen come Jen all right I was right one time at your house and we get triggered in random select dude random that's a that's just like the scissors yeah coming back supposed to be random but it's not come well oh no man wrestling combat throws do more damage okay good oh I gotta get that fire we're on fire it will be past fire yeah rockers and oh and you play with scorpion yeah with ninjutsu it is yeah lucky me still works oh thank you rocket oh no missed it but you still got fire audio my hat's out no fire is the most time in these boats it's it's brutal you would yeah let's do a rematch different modifiers okay my Kung Lao is fierce oh yeah yeah probably come out of America what are some of the things that you can unlock and test your walk is there anything specific to test your life mostly coins I think there's all these achievements associated with it yeah but I don't think there's not really anything that you want my skin yeah yeah but if you do the living towers which are all then you get the yeah then you get the unlock really the custom comment that's actually where I've done this my playing lately it's been awesome they are and I love doing the tower battles online I can set up people those are fun that's just you just feel like a madman trying to like jam through and like skip everything skip a little right through before this one run through it do I do a fatality here do I have time that sort of yeah yeah yeah x-ray all that takes too long I shouldn't do yeah oh never do an x-ray highly tactics are oh we have overpowered to blocking does nothing oh really this is my dive kicking working oh yeah oh yeah I'm from LA Mexico yeah so we're definitely close again yeah no come on but that was a nice respectable match for you yeah I don't I I would say of all the characters in the game I might be my worst character absolutely but you did really well yeah with all those modifiers all right so this is it is this it do you want to go go against Shawn one more time I'll do another man yeah I would feel bad cuz he's like you know yeah he's our guest I'm just a lot like one match come in from the cold there was an article I read this morning actually about release check mm-hmm what's that all about it's a good point cuz I fans out there might not know I it's all personal preference so play with them both and see which one you like best I I turn it off for myself mm-hmm so what it means is when you when you hit the button your special move or whatever will come out when you let go of the button when you release the button mm-hmm otherwise it'll come out when you hit it got it it's different for people who use different types of sticks different pads and things so a lot of people find it to be more accurate for them yeah I I don't okay but there's a lot of people who will say that they keep on yep so definitely those sort of just things we do for everyone to give them every choice they can have to have it all I think that's really cool and there's the input shortcut as well which makes it not you have to look a little quicker to do moves but you can also but you in that case do some things might come out that you don't want to so you have to you know right I keep it on so it's all based on how you want to play yeah that's that's I mean who can she that's the part of the game that I think if you don't realize it you miss it but if you go deep in those settings you can make it as fun as you want time decrease I'm bleeding you're bleeding all right so this can be bad cuz you're out you're bleeding yeah yeah not bad they have like my favorite sound effect because they just scream as they fall from the sky I keep slipping on my way to hit you to do that no oh slip slip slip damn he's got work I don't remember any of his fatalities that's all right you can't you don't really do you know it's your luck oh the face crush like the Hilt of the sword is just so your whole face it's not fair oh Sam was knocked the PS4 over there's your heads good win good fun alright are you done or you do it again the Twitter fans episode we should probably play our match okay you guys should play them out all right oh did we show the the social screen with we do have so sorry I forgot to mention that so you're we have your Twitter for you follow me also follow another round fall you can follow me and Derek anybody from the studio falls new B of course oh yeah Ed Boone's always tweeting I'm sure be tweeting a bunch for the next stream which he'll be on actually Ed and I just did DC I'll access the other where you can see if you go search DC I'll access on YouTube you can see me and Ed having a conversation at the DC offices where I used to work nice it's a real like all comes back moment awesome it's very full so that doesn't look for that we'll actually probably posting it somewhere on our Facebook as well yeah and download the comic button control button I my hands are up okay hands are way to override that when it goes to go to online yeah pushes a circle or be so here we go with our classic rundown except Tyler's doing cybernetics and I am gonna go with ravenous all right so for the belt for the belt Jen is gonna win this one it's a toss so do you guys do it in a she doesn't want to say me cuz you guys do it in a single match where we do best of three yeah best of three okay losers that can change character or variation right yeah which so I'll be able to change my variation yeah if you need to this is my new variation I'm working on so well I'm gonna punish for that oh so big good one place Blanche Blanche Blanche she become quite a popular character in this game and someone has to throw her it's sorry about she was on her way to the market spicy fruit he never breaks either no I'm a I'm a meter my spiked and emity what's your favorite brutality so far um oh I don't know if people have done it or got me I'm saying yeah no I have I like all I like most of canoes there's this one he does where he like he'll do the choke move I don't grab your head and pop it there's a shinach one that makes me giggle really absolutely just laughs my ass go about yeah buddy high five huh so if I like broke out a just badass so near I would be amazed because you don't have a badass cano yet he always wonders why why the fans always are happy when I win yeah I think it's because I respect myself and I expect myself do we not treating a friend like that is not I apologize to who myself for not respecting myself that's that makes sense Tyler I think the fans are just building you up to tear you down later that's gonna be inevitable the rock started as a heel he did get that we started as a super baby face as Rocky yeah yeah they hated him so much he turned into a heel and then he became we came like a communistic to see what is cool because she got some of his personality like that so what I saw there was one I won't say who was who but I saw one player playing with discipline and another player playing for a brutality perhaps he was were you know I was just playing to troll ya and I was a little too much the troll too much he did you see what happens when you let your ego get in the way you have to dissolve all of that cannot become one with them I allowed to switch my variation because I play all three care innovations in all of this game if you want to that's why I don't want to say that I played all three cano variations today all right that's fine just for myself no that's fine I'm just trying to figure out if I should stay the ravenist where if I should go to my piercing which one do I do really love the leapfrog so got sucked yeah yeah and then he just didn't just does it to be a dick a training room again random this is this is the day the training room will decide do I just it's better because you make nice nice he wants that belt so I was trying to do my x-ray yellow x-ray but you got the win good good match man good match man good show for your faction man oh thank you I should well I support black dragon but this not right now right now yeah yeah yeah I want to thank everybody for watching the comment cast today I won with all three
