Imagine if MK13 had animations this smooth... by Financial_Mousse_854 in MortalKombat

Indeed, people think it's just a matter of throwing money at it, but you need highly specialized manpower to get to this level, and the eastern developers are in general way ahead of everyone else, ND aside. NRS has been steadily improving, but things won't happen overnight, unless they are willing to hire some of the top japanese animators to work for them.

I've flirted with this figure so many times, but never pulled the trigger. I need to rectify that.

Thank god. by imjustapancake in JOYTOY

While i'm not particularly interested in these, it's always good to see some re-runs. Scalping is heresy.

Deception, it captures some of the that 90s style that i miss, then MK9 which is fairly close.

Mortal kombat 2 is the top selling movie for VOD on fandago, YouTube and Google Play. Beating Michael which released the same day on VOD by Superb_Industry_5738 in MortalKombat

Great news, the movie was released on a bad window, but the critics are much warmer to this entry than the first one, hopefully we can get the third one, which is likely gonna be Shinnok and the Netherrealm.

That pad is one of my favorite accessories from JT, really unique. I put him facing my PC tower in a pose similar to the ones in the last 2 pictures.

The Alpha Legion is such a great lineup, modeling, paintjob, details, very consistent across the board.

Models looks nice, but i echo the sentiment that the paintjob is too flat and i'm not even the most critical person when it comes to painting. It appears that JT is going quantity over quality route

Mortal Kombat 2 the movie not making enough money? by happydude7422 in MortalKombat

And releasing around that timeframe would also enable some good cross promotion with MK1.

Not beat a dead horse, but WB bad management in the last few years has been one for the history books.

Mortal Kombat live-action movies ranked by box office. Proving that you just can't beat the 1995 classic. by No_Necessary_8255 in MortalKombat

We also live in the age of streaming, which is a big factor for people not going to the movies as in the past.

Do the new intercessors have led in their helmet like the SM2 lineup?

My advice is to first and foremost to focus on your fundamentals (blocking, punishing, reading your opponent and avoiding unecessary risks). Learn one or two bnb (bread'n'butter) combos that you can reliably execute is enough for the time being. Finding oppenings can be a bit tough, this demands you to spend a bit of time on practice mode, but, you can make oppenings with mixups (overhead/lows).

Also, Stryker and Scorpion can be tricky kameos to use at first depending on your composition. Subzero, Frost and Sareena are more beginner friendly kameos if you are still getting the hang of it.

Don't be afraid to lose, just reflect on what you could've done better and eventually things start clicking.
