So we're very excited today We're gonna you know last time we showed you a bunch of the story mode So today we're gonna give you a ton of gameplay gonna show you some characters that have you've yet to see them fight Pretty excited. Don't say it yet. Derek. I know you're super excited about it. Let's get through some introductions real quick First off at the command tower we have Jen Jen say hi Jen Jen is here. Thank you so much for all your help again Beside me one of my good friends here at the student mr. Derek Kurtzik. Hello. Hello I don't know if you can recognize me without having a stupid hat on but I promise it's me last week Sean wore three different hats during the show to make fun of you Yeah, I noticed it was very subtle burn. Yeah, I felt real good about it. Yeah, you do wear stupid hats Thanks over here. We have a special special guest. I'm very excited to have on the show We want to get you on mr. Steve Brownbeck Aka 16 boot OSU 16 bit everybody Steve. Let's talk real quick just so those who don't know who you are Can find out who you are you are a pro professional fighting game player? Yes I have been a tournament player for many years now Specializing in interest games. I played Mortal Kombat 9 and injustice traveled all over the world Have you ever won a tournament? I did I won so Cal regionals 2011 You've also placed in top 8 at Evo. How many times three times Twice in Mortal Kombat and then once an injustice last year and who do you play in Mortal Kombat? Katana Yeah, I don't know if you all saw we did have a special video with Steve about his love of every Pardon me everything Katana even license plates another thing on your resume that I think you failed to mention is that I have beaten you Twice in a row once so badly that you wouldn't speak to me for 45 minutes Yeah, that's true. You were actually the first person to make me hate Bain my bad He was salty as hell. It was pretty awesome. Let's just do some general some general notes real quick Okay, and always have the Mortal Kombat comic book to go back to and kind of find out what leads up to where we are Absolutely, be sure you buy it at your local comic book store or you download it digitally Mm-hmm. Oh, well, so we always like to say even though we are 25 days from this game being in your hands How many days 25? I felt like yesterday was July and now here we are This game is still work in progress. There are still things happening. This build is not totally current You know we have to show some bills that doesn't give me all the characters quite yet So there are still things happening. So, you know things that happen on screen May change before launch that's what we need to let you know some of the damage will probably change some of the reactions Nothing that you see here is going to be part Definitely part of the final price Okay, another here's a fun little bit of information. We haven't announced yet As you know, we started MK collective at the beginning of this whole process And first of all, we'd like to thank everyone for all the awesome art when we started the thing We knew we'd get some great art. Yeah, we got a lot of amazing We got some stuff to people who care about this game so much and the characters you love just some really wonderful artwork And we always said that we wanted to do something with the collective So what we've done is a fellow in Russia by the name of Sergei who his art name is fear sass Check him out on MK collective has done some amazing stuff. So we actually got in contact with him and Kind of he collaborated with Netherrealm and he's created a scorpion skin that you will be able to get in game Jen if you could show the picture of that It's called Cold War scorpion. So it's a collaboration between us and Russian artist fear sass from the collective So people who put stuff in the collective have shown up in the game and to get that Costing you got to check with your local retailers to see how that can happen But it's very very cool guys and it's yet another additional skin We're not saying how many skins are in this game, right? But there's there's quite a few another interesting thing that I'm very very happy about is we were able to You know Ed and Steve and everyone we were all able to look at I'm Steve not you Steve I'm art director Steve We're able to look at a lot of the art and pick out some stuff that we thought was really awesome or cool And this is the first time we're announcing this some of that can be found in game So we do have some fan art of stuff from the collective that you will be able to look at in Mortal Kombat X We're not saying where we're not saying who but there's some really great art in there Hey, congratulations to those artists too. You guys really blew our minds with a lot of stuff Thank you so much so much unbelievable talent in our community So I think it's maybe time that we kind of get started on something now Derek. I know you're very excited about this We were lucky enough to be given the chance to show Ermac for the first time on the combat cast because you love Ermac and you're super excited I was very excited to show her back as you all know is my main. I'm not I now go by Tyler Mac Yeah, yeah, he has a name tag and everything everyone has to call me that in the studio. Oh I'm not doing that. That's fine. You don't have to okay So Derek. Yes today is Malina day. We're gonna show some Malina Yes, it's been so difficult for us in when we talk in streams because Derek and I've been playing this matchup for quite a while Yes, and we can't talk about no, that's the matchup. We play every single day and when we do streams It's like hey learn this character real quick and we're like, okay, but we're not playing the characters that we normally get To play so today is the day so let's do With your help Steve you willing to help with this absolutely. Do you know anything about fighting games? I know a little bit about fighting games. Okay, so we're gonna do Malina variations Malina variations. Let's get in the game. All right So the first variation we're gonna go over is her ethereal variation and Steve. I don't know if you've heard this Don't talk during the entrance people get kind of mad about that. I watched the stream OSU 16-bit if he does yeah blow him up for sure All right, there is that beauty she looks amazing in this game. All right now For we're gonna go over her common moves To start off with show don't move around a little bit because her movements just really elegant. Yes She look we'll get into that we have plenty of time right so first her common specials She has the straight side she can get to do double size She has her teleport and of course you can do her DX teleport she has her traditional ball roll and If I can remember how to there we go and of course she can That's common across all very. All right What's special to this specific variation is the fact that she can teleport and she can actually Disappear for extended period of time. She can go forward. She can go back So what you can do is do some fun little mix of combos where you actually set yourself behind the player to do more So great and it also be really good for running away from the opponent Playing a keep away game or if somebody's trying to just kind of zone you out You just kind of hold it down and extend it whenever you want to come back and she has a DX version of that Which hides are even faster. It's funny because we played we played this variation and Irmak has his Disappear so there are moments of time during the game where we just both disappear. Yes It's pretty it's pretty and you'll notice her personality is very prevalent in this game as well She likes to play around with the opponents and stuff like that. So I'm really excited to show it off Absolutely, um and for the most part for a theory. Oh, that's it. It's all about the setups in size All right, this is gonna be really interesting to see how some of these people take to this this variation Just starting a combo going behind going the other direction always moving around right? Yeah most mobile version would you say it's definitely the most mobile and properly one of the best for If someone has some good zoning attacks of good projectile attacks hiding from that Then I think eventually people will have setups where they end the combo and then teleport Directly behind them or maybe right in front of them or they don't teleport at all and that'll be kind of a mix up I also like to call it the trolley variation because once you got a life lead you can just keep hiding yourself and getting away from the Opponent so with that said let's go to the next very well twice. Let's finish them off real quick. All right Truly you do mm-hmm girls gotta eat That's right. That's it. Let's uh, let's check out some of the other ones. Okay. Absolutely. Let's do that Now I've that we talk about variations a lot and what we have seen go ahead and pick characters real quick here Is that Everything's so different and I've seen you play with each variation and each variation I have to learn how to combat that. Yeah, um What uh, what I do really like about Melina too is that her combos are pretty much universal except They get a different twist on them, right? So with this version of Melina the raveness. She has bite combos Where she actually will bite the jump on the circuit by them and you can actually do a button input to extend that This my window But in addition to that she also has Some command chain graphs as well. Would you have practiced before the stream? Yeah, and you were doing very well I was so we'll see how I do here a hundred percent success rate So you can do just the normal one and she'll just roll back or you can You can extend it with the side stab Or you can do it again And do a kick at the end so depending upon where you want that placement on screen It's how you're going to extend it or if you want to do the the maximum damage You're going to do all three hits right So if you want to kick them into the corner you could choose to do the final ender But if you want to keep a midscreen or maybe swap positions you can choose to end it too, right? And so for her other one, which is called the low pounce She'll actually leapfrog over the player which We suspect a couple people are going to love to do this to their opponent. You finished matches with me with this Yeah by hopscotching over me because it's so much fun. It's fun for me too. Yeah But of course you can extend this one as well So she'll go into that break their arms, right and then she'll roll away Or you can extend it Did I do it? Oh, I did a rampa. That's all right. You knew this was hard Or she'll just go ahead and sit on her head and just bounce them off the ground All right, and so she gets the the additional bike combo She also gets the the chain grabs in this variation as well And you'll notice that she doesn't have the mask so you can see her create very pretty face So this would you say would be a torment in your face version of malina? Oh, yeah, absolutely. Yeah, exactly. It's going to be really good for mix-ups You'll be able to mix up over or four three overhead attack Or the low grab so when you say just for those who don't play a lot of fighting games When you say something like mix up Mix up meaning you have to make the opponent guess between which attack you're going to be Maybe it's an attack that they have to block standing or an attack that they have to block ducking So you're basically going to put them in a position where they have to guess what you want to do gotcha All right, so for her last variation my personal favorite is the piercing I've seen this one a few times with you. This is uh, this is the one I usually play I'm excited that you're able to talk about malina today is like my day. I'm so excited we get to fight with them The breakdown hopefully all the malina players out there will be super happy now that they get to see her I don't see how they couldn't be The elder gods reward strength Then I will have my do Beautiful And now with her side variation or piercing variation Of course, you can still do the air size, but she also has this low split side that she can do too So you can just kind of zone your opponent out, right? Just be like come ahead and you have to block low Yes, get them. Yeah, um, and of course you can exit where she'll do an additional side attack too And also what's special to this is she has side Combos as well and just like the biting one you can extend this attack So she does additional And then she has this one. It's just kind of like a classic mk2 fatality, right? Um, and one more as well And like we were saying before you can extend a lot of or you can combo Pretty much Real quick before you before you finish off codle. Um, how how much malina gets a meter here? Oh, so we can do her x-ray. I'll do an x-ray and also I think she has a really cool throw. Oh, yeah Wow, your codle is on point. I've never seen such a good codle. So her x-ray She'll go ahead and throw them to the end. Awesome. Yes And I think piercing will be kind of the middle ground where she has improved projectile with a low projectile And then those side combos are going to be really good and your big damaging combos and really stylish too Absolutely So we'll get more into malina later when we do some fights. I'm sure you're going to see some malina very shortly. Yeah, um You know this and just so you guys know I hope you're having a good time This might be a little bit of a longer stream than we've done before I hope you don't mind hope you don't mind We just kind of want to blow it out and play a lot of just to show you some characters and have some fun We have steve here plays a great katana. So just showing you some gameplay We're 25 days out. So let's just do it, right? Yeah. Um, and speaking of just doing it Just do it. Um, let's show another variation Another variation. She only has three of a different character. Okay. Whoo. Honestly, do you know something? No, I don't um, so now we're going to show uh, takeda And steve you'll be uh, can you run through that with everybody? Absolutely cool So takeda fights with these bladed whips and they're used in his normal attacks a lot of his special moves Which one do you want to start with? Up to you Or we'll start with sheer raiju if you read the comic and you know that takeda grew up in the sheer raiju He was trained by scorpion himself and you'll also notice like in some of his costume. There's some there's some yellow So this one no you almost messed it you almost Stop blowing up, man I'm serious. You smell awful Before we start real quick, there's also visual indicators for each of the Yes, I didn't mention with me. I apologize for the visual indicators to show you I mean, obviously it'll tell you in the top what you're playing as but what is visual indicator here for takeda? His ninja mask So what uh, let's go over his common moves. All right, so commonly as I said the bladed whips are a big part of a lot of his normal attacks He's got some of the best reach in the game You know a lot of these normals have huge range so he gets to play this ground game at a very very far distance But he's still does he still have an up close game as well? He does and that's what's cool about him Is these whip attacks have long range, but they're a little bit on the slow side But then his ninja training kicks in and he's got some Kind of fast ninja type moves if you want to close the distance or if you're stuck up close So he doesn't he's not only good far away He's pretty well rounded so then his universal special moves. He has uh this torpedo kick Which you can control the distance you can do it close or medium or far you can do it in the air So there's a lot of options with that and you can use this to you know close the distance as easily or You know if you think the opponent's going to do a projectile You want to go through projectile? Then he has this really cool ninja dagger Which You can use as a projectile or you can use it as a mix-up option like we were saying you can do an overhead Into this low and the ex one's especially cool He holds out three and you can charge it and then you can let it go whenever you want So you can kind of hold it out and get in there for some more combo Run up to them Or maybe try to threaten them and then you jump in or whatever you want to do And they have to sit there and be scared of the right ex ones right Then his other universal move is this combo starter. It's kind of dash punch And it's like a combo filler move. You can do it To get some damage Right and the ex one is a combo starter So can you give me a little bit bar? Okay, that one pop them up Which that was not that was not Fortunately, that's the first drop of the day. It surprisingly didn't come from you surprisingly Yeah, all the fans are like can you get somebody who doesn't drop combos? Yeah, I guess we can try it Um, and then what's special to this variation so the she were ryu to kata he gets Uh, some whip moves that are kind of inspired by scorpion. He has a grounded one And then he has a jumping one Now normally they don't go into combos, but if you do the ex version He will get a combo like you can see it kind of pops All right, hold on That will give me some meter. There you go Reptile x-ray just real quick And then the really cool thing is the quick phase which is a teleport And it's kind of like scorpions. You just do it. It's a quick teleport Let's restart. Yeah, let's restart that match real quick and watch another intro. We can yeah, this is not talk Reptile you will rip out your throat Settle down We have no sound on the tv so that could have been the same intro. Yeah, we have no can it was different It was different. I think you did so normally you just have your quick little teleport But then the cool thing is he can charge it And choose when to let it go or it can not let it go at all. Oh, so you can cancel out. Yes, great And then the ex one is a combo starter and looks awesome Then the air teleport are also told he has an air teleport He does and check this out very fast and it recovers. So if they're jumping they'll get hit Can you jump up? Yeah, I can't Apparently you can't But if not the more interesting thing is you can let it Miss and then if they try to do anything you can you know combo them or whatever It's like very tricky and the ex one is even trickier because he goes the other way and then doesn't overhead attack I didn't know what was happening there. I was totally lost. Yeah, I was lost So he has four really cool teleport moves and the spear moves So that's your right. We should throw it away Oh, he has a cool throw That's gonna sting. So should we go into the next one? Yeah Next one's gonna be lasher where his whips are electrical charged and it's Gonna be more of a long range Combo heavy You'll see in a second. His special moves are pretty cool in it. So we're seeing a student versus master here Yeah, I felt it was appropriate. Nice job going cannon here. That's going to war. That's good stuff. Yeah, yeah I always think you're you know, you can't do it, but every time you prove me wrong. Yeah. Yeah, thank you very surprising What have you become? Then the sheer eye right you are your enemies I don't know what scorpion said, but he seemed angry. Oh, yeah I've never seen really a happy scorpion. That's all your truth He doesn't even like teddies Yeah, that's true. He doesn't like teddy bears, but so lasher is all about range. He gets some really good new normals The slow poke here. Oh, that's for that's long He gets that fist of fury punch move. Mm-hmm gets turned into this Much more range Oh man, he gets kind of a low scoop move. It could trip you up And if you ex it They get bounced up more And then he gets a really strong anti air whip Which can also be used in combos as like a combo ender or combo extender Or you can end the ex one in a splat and kind of run up to them and mix them up Why don't you show us something there? All right Uh-huh. That's where you're gonna go. There's one more kid There's a one So you didn't drop it the game dropped it for now. Gotcha. So, yeah I think this one will be best played at kind of this jump in range and it'll be really good I think this is another one where the combo artists are really going to like messing with it And something, you know, we don't talk a lot about um, but I think it's nice for those You know, I know we have a lot of fans who play in terms with a lot of fans You're very good at the game We also have a lot of fans who don't play a lot of fighting games Just love Mortal Kombat and a term that I think is good for everyone who plays games to use It's kind of what you alluded to there. Uh, it's called footsies and like so where your character wants to stay In relation to like their longest range move. Yeah, the the footsies is basically You controlling the space of your character's best attacks So a perfect example would be this character where this move right here this overhead with tons and tons of range Derek if he was fighting me, he would have to be very wary of this move even from this far out And another one of these moves and he would have to Commit to doing a teleport which if I don't I block, you know, then I could punish it Or he would have to attempt and jump in and that's when I could use this move exactly Yeah, I read a lot of message boards that about people, you know Who love the game and can't wait for Mortal Kombat, but they want to get better And like that's just kind of one of those entry level terms that once you start thinking about You'll start getting better. You just kind of understand that Yeah, and and footsies is a kind of thing where no matter what level of player you do it You might just not know that that's what we call it. Right. Yep. So, uh, is that it for this one? Yep. All right What well, but wait what what what you have full mirror. I think it's time for an x-ray To Kate is this interesting because it's done in the air Was that necessary is my question like the foot to the face after it's his grandmaster to his father figure Yeah, right. It's kind of messed up. Let's uh, let's check out the last uh variation All right, this one is very very interesting and I think the beautiful thing about the variant system Is you'll have maybe one's kind of on the simpler side It's more basic than one could be, you know, like a the opposite of that And then there's a lot of these that are really really Interesting and unlike the other variants at all like it really stands out and this is one of those examples I found myself. Well I found myself with some of my characters I'll have two that I'm really good at and now I'm kind of like well I should probably learn the third one too because you have all of this range and what you can do Yeah, I think that's going to be the really cool part of the depth of the game. Yep I've just started flying with her mac like because I want to learn that I sensed your arrival Because I wanted you to I'm clearly in the presence of greatness So in Ronan In addition to the whips he also gets dual plasma swords and that will change a bunch of his normal attacks Which is something somebody would need Well, why not just have whips because they also have plasma swords, right? And he also gets a bunch of additional special moves. This is the only variant where he has a projectile He has kind of a beam and beam projectiles are not something we've done in mk very often So it's pretty cool and he gets a projectile reflect All right One, two, three, here. Oh, please always work out And then four tries we're fine. We're professionals And then the really cool thing Is he can as you'll see he can drop the sword on the ground And you can choose the distance you want to drop it and then he can kind of play his game and at any time He can summon it back up Awesome So you can kind of do stuff where you throw it down and maybe you know You're trying to throw your projectile. You're trying to get those out. Nope Ah I wish when he dropped the sword on the ground the person in the background just came up and grabbed it and ran away What if the dog picked it up in its mouth and ran away that'd be awesome And you can you can do full combos. Yes the ex one He gets a full combo if it hits And he can do it in a block string So if meaning if the opponent's blocking and you think they're going to continue to block That would be your chance to throw the sword out and have it active You can use it offense. Like I said defense with projectiles or offense You can have it out and then Derek's sitting there scared blocking. Oh, I'm so scared and I can kind of run up Go for combos or throws or whatever you feel like doing The world is your oyster. It's your oyster. Okay, it is I uh, I think oh, we're also using the uh, master of storms. I love you on twitter. I actually wanted to see so That's cool. Derek, nice job. Well, you know, I listen to the people You want to you want to finish me up here? Let's see what you're sure you want to show that I think we do we're gonna do that Do we want to do that? I want to do it. Oh, let's do it. I don't know if the stream wants that though. They do I'm gonna go ahead and say I'm even a little disturbed as one of my faves Um, that was that was different. I think now we should go through some uh game modes game modes Sure So Derek, I think this would be a time for you to kind of talk about what we have here Absolutely. So we're gonna play test your luck today. So why don't you give that controller over to tyler? Let's see how he does Um, and you'll know that test your luck. Uh, it was originally an mk9 Uh, the previous mortal combat and we're bringing it back here. There are over 100 different modifiers for test your luck Um, and of course you can select how many you want to have active during the match So we're just gonna go ahead and get into it. I'll be uh fair Okay Lacky going back to your grappling roots. I am so yeah, you can uh the number Default is five, but of course you can select five six seven three, but Whoa, you know, it's just let's let's four. Let's do four. Let's see how four does Once you start getting into seven it gets really chaotic This is great. This is one of those kind of really great game types of the guys like when you're having You know the party having the guys over and you're gonna like sit on the couch and play some fun stuff This can get ridiculous and fun And it's just you're always laughing and you never know what's gonna happen No, it's the best part and the cool thing that I really like is there's a lot of modifiers that aren't just difficult They actually can help you right. There's more assist. Yes. There's a bunch of really fun assist ones And we don't have intros to talk to you No intros okay good. Yeah. No intros intros intros There's more more than there is not more than one So you can talk us through we'll we'll see what with these duties Absolutely, and they might not necessarily apply to both of you. Yep, which is one of the other fun things There's nothing to yell at shen. Okay, so portal combat portals will randomly appear infinite timer, which is good That'll be fine. Uh, no enhanced specials for you And the curse of sloth so that little skull that dropped that'll make one of us slow Absolutely. All right. Cool. So here we go Oh, I was catching the combo. Oh, I'm super slow Oh, I love you could use extra combos out of it too. Oh, yeah, because it changes the command. Oh, no Oh god right into it Oh Through a portal. Oh, yeah. Oh, that was badass from winch. I meant That is so good Oh, thank you. Tyler. God. You brought me to another win. Uh, these don't count. These do not count at all. No, these count Do they count? These are counting 10. Does your luck count? It does not count. No, I'm just kidding. It doesn't count. It's looking good. Oh No, you jumped away. That's true. Oh I wonder if I could block this. Oh, no, that was hubris Of course, you can combo off of them. You can block a lot of the modifiers as well So it's not like you're definitely gonna have it Oh, portal killed me. That's that's a win, but Not a tournament win. Okay. All right, so and you'll notice you can rematch new modifiers You can rematch with the same modifiers if you want to just run it back. Do you just want to do new modifiers? Yes, you Okay So we're gonna show just a couple of these matches off Test your luck. I know we got here Electric fists. So after X amount of hits, it's going to go into electric stun Magnetic floor and a closer combat and close combat. Oh, you got double damage. This could be bad. If I lose this, I'm not ready for the end of it. Yeah Don't coach him. All you have to do is hit me, Tyler. This is fun Legitably I just don't want to talk right now because I'm too concerned. What's going on? Lynch is in play. Lynch is in play. No, no, no. Oh, no I need her Oh god Farrah or Blanche? It looks like both. Oh, Blanche. No, she's like a lie. You had your chance to use me. Oh, Tyler, you made a mistake What's that Farrah? She's just chilling on your shoulder. I love that pose. It's kind of like a parrot Legit. You want to do one more? One more. One more. All right, and then we'll go into our next game mode We're jumping up. I'm going to uh, I have an idea All right, all right So fire rockets. I'm guessing those are rockets made of fire. Yes. Okay. Okay. Luckily, I'm very projectile. It would have been awesome to reflect Farrah back at you Frost touch. Yes All right. So here we go This is so chaotic. I love it Think about if we had eight of these, or seven of these Yeah, it'd be awesome. Let's do that out of the stream. It's crazy. Of course Oh, nice. Can you do the combo? Yeah Oh, is it double damage? For both of us. Yeah. Oh my goodness. I was wondering how it's doing 50% Yeah, oh and that That was really fast. Yeah. Look how mad he is or how I don't know. I think that's I think he's just excited Does he have emotions? That's a question. Yeah, he talks. We just can't understand it No, this is looking really bad. No, perfect No, you're lucky. You can still win. It's double damage. You can still win. Because it's awesome. Another victory. All right Uh, thank you for the help Steve. It was worthless Um, so we'll go into our next game. Okay This would be a good time to say something. Oh, okay Uh, let's see. Yeah, so, uh Just to let you all know Um, for Mortal Kombat X we will be supporting Judd, do you have the camera on us? Yep. Awesome Uh Fight sticks for uh ps4. Yes. So if you have ps4 and you have a fight stick you got the old the Mortal Kombat stick This is the ps3 Mortal Kombat stick. We also have the uh, of course the justice one from Injustice So yeah, so if you have a ps4 we it is supported to use sticks and we thought It'd be fun To play a game with Derek using stick because Derek doesn't use stick and me not using stick It sounds very fair. I think that's fun. I think it's fun. I'll play Johnny Cage I don't play very much. You play him actually quite often. I've actually played your Johnny Cage. Okay guys. Let's be cool So for custom combat, uh, you actually get to pick the modifiers that you want active You can actually select if you want them to affect just the opponent both players or just assist yourself Um, you can go with selecting no modifiers and it'll just select random ones How do you unlock these modifiers you asked? I didn't though. Okay, um, you Complete our living towers the hourly living tower after you complete it. You'll unlock that modifier so Naturally, all of these will not be unlocked, but there are quite a few Pick your stuff. You can pick your stuff too, man. I'm gonna go I'm gonna go with cabal assist. Okay I'm just gonna give that to me That's fine. I'm gonna do the godfist for both of us or just you I'll do it for both of us because I'm generous Sometimes. Okay. So godfist is if a little a trinket will fall. Yes. If you grab it, you can kill them immediately Uh, yes, it is basically an instant kill unless they block it then it just takes 50% of their and it lasts very short Yes, it's only about a second and a half. So I gave you killer jumps Thanks, what does that do? Um, I if it's killer jumps. Yeah, I'll probably kill you with jump attacks Did I do it wrong? Bad jumping. Oh bad jumping that will damage me every time I jump. No, I did the other one. Oh, thank you to the wrong one. Oh, no Uh, okay, then I'm gonna do Double that's dangerous. That's dangerous. Okay. Yeah, you want to get crazy. Oh, oh you're gonna back out You're gonna change your choices. What are you wrong? Nothing. Just go down. Okay. Yeah, just there you go Yeah, I messed up Actually, it's because I didn't confirm. Oh, uh, wasn't you it was me Oops, so I gave him the wrong thing. So I'm gonna get killed pretty quickly here. He his jump attacks will now kill you Yeah, great idea. Well, he's using a stick though. I was trying to tell you to pick the one where his jump attacks will hurt him Right. So every time I jump it it hurts me. So I misheard you. Yeah. Yeah, okay Are you guys teaming up? Yes, like obviously not. Uh, it seems like it All right, here we go. So All right, I have I am buffed I got buffed. So I messed up and have nothing. Yes. Okay, good Oh, okay, cool. Oh, yeah, you didn't look at me. It's doing a sweet uppercut. Oh No, no Just in action.

Yeah, it feels fine. That's fun. Like you're playing totally backfired. Yeah, I just make the plan See ya I win again. This is this game's great. Well crap. Um, let's do it. Uh, You want to do mod off? That was great. You know, you're much better on the arcade stick than I thought you'd be. Yeah, thank you I don't think you can do with any other character, but all right. Well, I guess I'll try See how that works. I'll do brawler. Cassie cage now. Let's I'm not gonna be a total ass to you. I'm gonna because it backfired completely What do you think Steve? You can't go wrong with, uh, cyrex bombs. Okay. Um, I'm going to do I'm gonna do cyrex bombs for both players. Oh, that is kind of you I will do, um, rain bubbles for both. Oh, nice. Nice. Yeah. Okay, then I'll do I gotta do something that's kind of Oh, do juggle. Do juggle juggle so much fun. Do juggle. How many, can you say how many there are? There's a whole bunch, right? There is a ridiculous amount. I want to say Over a hundred. Cool. Um, and let's do x-ray insta kill Let's see how that works. That's all fine. Okay, good. Yeah. Okay, cool. Okay. Oh, no. Hold on I did this only for me and that's that's not cool. Okay So this is a real good couch combat type of thing to do. Absolutely. And this this mode is only exclusive to local online So you can't, you know, go online and play this. We got some fun Things to go through here. Look how will you feel if I win again? I'm so used to it. Yes Like it's fine. Yeah. Yeah, you don't even get emo anymore. I don't actually you do online Okay, okay day after the last one. Yeah That was awesome. Like you're sad your face was so sad People took pictures of it. I know and they made like little montages and you crying. Oh, so good The best part was how you immediately came to the qa lab to tell me about how you weren't emo right? Oh, you only put it on player two for juggle combat. I didn't mean to you are so such a bad friend What do you mean? Uh-oh. We're friends Get out of here Get out of here. This is so not cool Thanks tyler. Oh, no My upper I've got combos are real I keep thinking that I can run with it. Look up for the x-ray. They'll kill you. Can you go team? I didn't mean to do this for me. I didn't mean to do this for me Team lands down awesome. I really like that Get in that bubble. Nope. Get making that for both of us friends. Oh, I'm so angry right now How you should feel? Oh Yeah, that was awesome Tyler Look how happy it is. That's what winning feels like. It feels great. So what have we learned today so far You are the custom combat champion because you pick things to help yourself I didn't mean to to be honest. I totally didn't mean to yeah We also learned that you can use Arcade sticks or some of the old our older arcade sticks on ps4 version more information will come out about that later So thank you for playing some stick Derek. We're excited for that to happen in mkx. I was real happy to get to do it So whips size and a little surprise Um, I believe we should do One more character. One more character very one more character. Yeah, and and that courage variation. Okay. There we go one more character Yeah, yeah young jinn. Let's do kong jinn Absolutely. Yep Um, I'm gonna play fairytale Something no one has ever seen. I think it's happened. Yeah And also guys, I know y'all see gore in the bottom corner there. We'll be showing gore very soon I know everyone keeps asking gore. Gore. Gore. Gore. We have a lot of special stuff planned for gore So don't worry about that. We know you want him. We hear it every day. We got you Entrance, yes I have to say I love all of fairytore's intros because fair is hilarious. She's adorable She cracks me up every single time. So let's talk a little bit about kong jinn So kong jinn is a shallon monk and uh his his uh universal moves kind of reflect that he has uh Some original stuff of his own. He has this cool flip kick which he can use To end combos or the ex one has armor so you can absorb attack or uses a wake up attack He uses this magical bow here and he has kind of a standard straight projectile That's he doesn't do a lot of damage, but it's pretty quick And then he has an anti air projectile if the opponent likes to jump around and the ex one Will do two arrows at the same time and then his other shallon monk kind of moves are he has a flying kick Reuses his bow to get off the ground and then a classic uh dive kick like his cousin kong lown and then uh Ancestral he is it's all about the arrows. He can do more moves in the air He can do it at different angles. You have like a short one A straight one A long one and then a low arrow So it's going to be more of a projectile battle Far away. It's just a zoning effect. Yeah, and then the really cool thing is he can Power up his arrows with the spirits of his ancestors and they give him different abilities like he can um Have fire arrows which do a lot of damage and knock people down and he can do this You can see the arrow in the back actually turns red and that'll last about six seconds And you can do it as many times as you want or as little as you want So you'll you have those for a time. Yes certain amount of time Then he also has one where he will drain the opponent's super meter. You can see down there every time they hit He loses a little bit of super meter. That is ridiculous And then he has a blue one that is a stun arrow. They'll be In that little magical shield thing and he can run in and get a combo And you can do all of these arrows also in the air. Yes, they power up all his air attacks Awesome awesome So that's ancestral And we should just go ahead and go to the next one Yeah, all right, let's do it So if ancestral is all about the arrows then Bojutsu is all about the staff part of the bow That's all about that bow. I I knew someone was going to make that reference I'm far too old to understand that reference Really? No, I understood what he was going to say And you'll notice that the bow is glowing as well, right? Yes, and in the other one he has a different quiver And the arrows are white and they have he has a logo on the back of his quiver. Nice. You provoke me? Just want to test myself against you. You are not ready Round one So this one yeah, this is absolutely canon. This one is all about using the bows of staff He gains some really good special moves that are like combo starters or combo extenders. He gets this one And then that allows him to start combos He gets this one which is like a low spin And then he gets A middle spin that you can use To extend or in this combo So I think this one's going to be all about getting up close doing big damage I think this is the one that if you like to do high damaging flashy combos is the one for you And then another really cool thing about it is what he gets one more move, which is this air fireball And the whole use of this one is you can you can tell that his range using a weapon like this is very good Like he has some of the some of the best range in the game And the opponent is naturally going to want to jump in right if you can't beat him on the ground Beat him in the air and that's where the air fireball will come in So you can kind of put out the air fireball And then they're not going to dare jump with that off and then you get to run up and you get to do All your neat little bow moves that you gain from being in this one Let's take a look at his throat. Yeah Give him a little taste of the x-ray to finish it too We have a little code we in the final game where you can actually give us meters We can show you guys a little easier What about his fatality? Um, do we recommend that? Maybe. Okay. Should we should we wait for the last variation? Apparently not. It's too late. Steve holds nothing back Fatality There we go. Whoo. Nice job. Bullseye So we have one more, huh? And and it's what we can see here is There is A range one. Yep. Now the bojicu is a close one So you have you know, if you play him you have a lot of different places you can go with it Yeah, and that'll be really cool for when you're playing online or in tournaments or whoever you're playing for matchups Maybe it's a character that you're fighting. That's really good at keeping you out You can use the arrow one to be like, well, you want to keep me on you can stay out and I'll just use my arrows Or if it's one where they want to be in your face You know you're finding someone like johnny cage or cassie You can meet them attack for attack with bojicu And then he's got Shaolin Shaolin totally kung-jin Keeps a phone in this quiver. So Well, he is a modern. He you're right monk. Then he has Going down on me on that. We're gonna hard on me on that one. Gonna test you jen Gonna get me an a plus plus Or be flat on your ass round one fight So shaolin he gains this chakra which you can see on his hip right there And that's really cool because it's gonna change a bunch of his normal attacks not just combos He gets a bunch of new moves where he uses it Then he also gains the ability to throw the chakra like a projectile. He can aim it up You name it down You can do the ex one which will come back like a boomerang And he gains a low one that he can use and he can do in the boomerang with that too So that's gonna be really good not just for zoning, but it'll be good in offense Like let's say the opponent is blocking I'm blocking. I accidentally opened you up. So let's say let's say they're crouch blocking. Okay. There we go. You gotta give me a little bit of a I don't know what to do. All right Throw it And if it hits you get a combo and if there's blocked Then you can just maintain your pressure Because they're still forced to block and then you can do an overhead or a low throw and it's nice because on hit You get a combo when it comes back to Then the last move you gains is an upgrade to his kind of flying kick where you go up in the air You can do that as like a combo ender or you can do that from full screen and drop down Cool. Um, so that is a con gen So that's our little extra Surprise, um, and there's surprises aren't done. Oh, no. No, we got one more here a little bit one more Um, so I think it's time. Let's uh, let's get some Answer some questions. All right. Let's do it. Let's do it So again, we always try to get questions from you guys for, uh About the game now. We're gonna be totally honest here. Um, the game's out very soon 25 days So we are Going to leave some things that are going to be surprises. So there's some things we just won't answer Please do not be offended on twitter if we don't answer questions We see them most of them try to but we can't answer everything So that's something you need to know also before we get to the questions I want to thank you guys again for just coming out to watch our streams We love absolutely look forward to these every single time we do though And the fact that you guys keep coming out to see it is making us feel great And I hope you're getting to see everything you want to see of the game and there's still more to come Oh, you forgot the like button.

Absolutely. It's not hard. Thanks, Derek. You're welcome friend. It should be awesome Um, oh also again before I forget earlier. We showed the fear sass Version of scorpion. You can actually see that on our facebook and our twitter So you can see a little closer version of that if you'd like to So let's talk about some questions. Okay. Hello. Hello. Hello Derek. Yes, sir factions. Yes big part of the game Yes, you're gonna be what a brotherhood of shadow black dragon white lotus. There we go. Bam So none of us are together in that the question is Like let's say you play as cassie cage. Uh-huh. Do you have to play a character who is In that faction? No, not at all. You can play any character in any faction There's nobody locked to a specific faction your version of cassie Can be brotherhood of shadow. Yeah, definitely. Whatever character you play We don't want to lock characters out or anything like that. No, right, right If you pre-order digitally the uh tomorrow combat x will goro be available. Will he Everywhere. Yes, everywhere. Goro's everywhere. Everywhere. He's everywhere. He's everywhere. He's pretty big and everything Hashtag Everything punch walk punch walk. Heck yeah punch walk a lot of people after last week when we announced jason everyone was like Show us some jason gameplay Well, we can't no because our dlc as we do dlc here jason, although i've seen pieces of him He is not done. He looks very jason. Yeah, he does. He's not finished yet So all of our dlc is not on the disc. So it's being currently made right now So once we get some good stuff to show you with that, of course, we will definitely but right now He's still in progress. We showed you a picture. We did Uh, let's do people were asked about fatalities. Okay, how many fatalities preach character? There are two But we also saw in a video earlier. We have faction kills. Yes Not tell you how many of those there are We also told you that there are over a hundred brutalities. Yes So there are many ways to finish off your opponent. You can kill your opponent a lot of different ways So two and we've we've shown some two some not some fatalities You will have to wait till you pop that disc in and play the first time. That's right Which is always the first thing I do Before I worked here, I'd always watch all the fatalities for straight fatalities. Um People ask we've kind of mentioned it on twitter before is there 2v2 combat There is not no combat x no tag We really wanted to focus on the 1v1 aspect of the game, which uh Was definitely the kind of the crux of world combat x, right? So that that will not be in world combat x I'm sorry for those who love that game mode, but we've worked really hard on making the 1v1 game as tight and wonderful Absolutely And here is my favorite thing Question to answer today. Okay. Okay. The question is When you're playing online, I do I do too When you're playing online, people quit on you. Yeah, they do and I hate it. It sucks. Yeah, it does So when people quit is there any way that we can punish quitters? Um Well, it's really more of Making the winner Look better. You know what just roll the clip Jen. They shop Kano wins flawless victory Quitality quit alibi. So if you quit Your head blows up and the other guy He kind of just sits in the glory of watching you die, right? So quit all you want I'm sure a lot of people are reposting videos of quitalities of people who continually quit our game. So Yeah, actually that video was uh me playing cash some guy in qa Kevin I don't know like he got real saucy at the end. Oh Man So yes, quitalities are in the game. It's a fun. It's a fun little thing we added to Yeah, because we didn't want to punish people not let them play or put them in some other state So we just wanted to glorify the winner. Yep. Yep. So there it is quitality. Uh, I want to I just want to have some fights Okay, let's fight. I feel like Since steve is here Before we do our belt match We need to see some real cannon katana Versus malia. I feel like you did this on purpose. I'm having him soften you up before the big championship I feel like you brought backup to beat me up. Well, you don't get the belt. He doesn't get the belt. So we're fine So katana. This is a non-title. He's a tournament player You're pretty good too. I like how he's talking himself down. Didn't he beat you before stream? Um, he's he won this game sometimes. He's not bad. See, he wouldn't even say it. He wouldn't even say it It's pretty funny. Oh, all right. Let's do this steve Hey, oh There you go. Oh, I'm player two. Yeah, you're player two. You want to switch? So it's not weird. Oh while we're waiting as well People have asked about alternate costumes. You know what we've mentioned on twitter and such before Probably won't have as many as injustice, but there's a lot of really awesome ones. And will we see classic costumes come back? That sounds pretty good to me. There's a possibility, I would say. So Derek, how does it feel knowing that malina is not a real adenian? And katana's the superior sister. How do you how does it feel that she doesn't actually have a throne to sit on? Her time will come. Mm. Did you guys play of this? No. I need to be in these meetings when you guys make lore chats. I'm so mad at you. Is this two out of three? Make it proper. Sure. Sure. Okay. Tournament format Because you're a tournament player You're unfit to live Shao Kahn disagreed his realm thinks as I do Okay, then I'll do the taco.

Yeah as a tournament veteran. I'll offer you some advice relax Make a few adjustments. You'll be fine. Thank you. Thank you for that.

You gotta watch those. Watch that ball Derek Are you are you feeling just pretty easy right now Steve? How you feel?
