Reminded, I had a thought the other day - will Kenshi still use psychic attacks? Wouldn't really make sense, given the storyline reasoning for him knowing them is that Ermac taught him in exchange for being freed.

Also, he might not even be blind in this timeline.

I think the 360 controller is fine for fighting games until you play with a good controller. Then it's impossible to go back. I've used PS3 controllers and proper arcade fightsticks and still feel more comfortable with a 360 controller.

I'm pretty sure I heard that 360 is getting Skarlett for free as a way to make amends for PS3 getting an extra character. I doubt it, as PS3 owners got Kratos because Sony has an exclusive deal with MK or something like that. It would be cool, but I don't believe it. Right now I'm on Kabal's chapter in story mode, and I'm taking shit over.

They scewed us over with no exclusive character or not giving us the demo, so they better or I'll spread rumors that Bill Gates kicked Boon's ass once.

To be fair, Microsoft themselves is why there's no exclusive character and knowing their greedy practices, I wouldn't be surprised if they stopped Netherrealm from giving out free content.

Did anyone ever elaborate on why MS wouldn't play ball with Boon? Seriously, why do something that will beyond a doubt hurt your revenue?
With that said, I can't think of any first party "MS" character that I'd want to play as. I despise Halo and don't really care about Gears of War...Ninja Gaiden isn't exclusive anymore (nor has it been for a while) so Ryu Hayabusa is out....

I know how you feel, but I have a feeling that if they DID get an exclusive character, they'd bring it Fenix or whatever his name is.

I just don't think that Microsoft had an exclusive character to offer. Master Chief or Marcus Phoenix don't really fit into the MK universe that well. I still think that Microsoft could have offered something. An extra mode or something would have been nice they shouldn't have let Sony have had that big exclusive without something to offer in return.

Who knows, mayeb he'll meet Ermac and help turn him, Ermac is made from souls of Edenian soilders and King Jarrod so their is good in him. And hell in the beginning of the story for whatvere happens next, Raiden needs all the help he can get. Speaking of story, anyone else dissapointed with how much Cyrax's chapter felt like filler and was utterly pointless in the end?

Quan Chi still has his Onaga markings which he only picked up in Deadly Alliance.

But you already had Johnny Cage, Sonya, Liu Kang and Scorpion having their segments in the story. Kano got beaten up in the story so he was out, Sub-Zero 1 was killed by Scorpion so he was out, and Reptile...didn't do much at all in the story now that I think about it. So yeah, they needed someone. And since the other two Lin Kuei were there, might as well toss him into a story segment. EDIT: Also, if you want a fun mind-f*** after playing the new game for a while...go on YouTube and try to watch episodes of "Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm". Specifically the Quan Chi episode. Feels very strange.

Hey hush up, I liked Chess Kombat.... I'm being serious. I want that to return. That's the only "MK minigame" I liked... I was KINDA hoping that, with the Challenge Tower, it'd make a glorious return because, come on, it's not that complicated to code, and it'd be a total non-resource hog...

An extra mode or something would have been nice they shouldn't have let Sony have had that big exclusive without something to offer in return. Who's to say it would have had to have been a "Microsoft" exclusive character? With Microsoft's money, they could have thrown some money around and hey all of a sudden you've got Spawn or Dante (from Dante's Inferno) as an XBOX exclusive character. Might not be your "dream" Kombatant, but it would be an exclusive character. I imagine Spawn could even be coded and run off of the Kratos build, even.
