Apparently there are going to be two reveals on the Kombat Kast this week. Guessing it's going to be Erron Black and Jacqui since we already know they're in but haven't really seen anything yet; only real concrete info is that they aren't ready to show D'vorah yet. Also, there's a rumor going around that... {Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}The Krypt's been expanded into a full adventure side-mode and Shang Tsung, Mileena, and Rain will be unlocked through it. Not sure how much I buy into that but lot of people are taking it seriously. And I would certainly take that particular unlockable lineup over the other rumored one. As long as there aren't any f***ing jump scares... EDIT: Please don’t filter-dodge.

Just posted in the PlayStation thread that I finally started XL (I know...). I only played for about two and a half hours and I'm already pumped for 11! Welcome aboard! One thing I wish I would have done when I started was trick out my Kombat Kard early. More than just looking cool, the background/icon/border you choose for your character offers different benefits that will really help you as you gain points and progress.

No kidding, the jump scare thing is why I never bothered finishing MKX's Krypt. Combining the jump scares with my absolute fear of spiders (even video game ones) pretty much guaranteed that I was never going anywhere with it.

Definitely don't need that screamer bullshit in the Krypt.
Man how I hate those things.

If you could kill the jumpscare creatures, that would be cool.

Something I've not seen talked about much but I really want a broader range of arenas in this game. There's just such a pitifully small amount of them in MKX and Injustice, it makes things feel so much more repetitive.

With this bringing characters from all across time together they need to do the same with the stages
bring Jades desert which was only a cameo in MKX but looked great in MK9
The soulnado graveyard in MK9
the belltower
the subway
the bank from UMK3

Could probably do some really cool stuff with it. Also, I like the falling apart Shang Tsung's Courtyard in 11, but I'm hoping there's also it in its original form.

Hilariously the hint that has people thinking the latter is this - You know, with that hint, it could also be Sindel. Considering she's a major part of the timeline split and how in the original timeline, he resurrection was part of a spell that allowed Shao Kahn to reach Earthrealm, it would make a lot of sense for her to return. Also, while it seems obvious to me that Kitana will return, wouldn't it make more sense for it to allude to Mileena?

It's assumed to be connected to how one of Baraka's intros refers to her as Kitana Kahn.

I'm guessing this is Spawn. Been a bit too much smoke to that fire and it is the perfect opportunity to announce a comic character.
... I really have no idea what the appeal of Spawn is.

I kind of question the logic of opening with talking about dash speeds instead of showing a character, doing all that stuff, and then showing the next one.
Edit: Oh, showing them together, guess that makes sense. Jacqui's Fatality is kind of eh.

Jacqui's fatality looked fantastic, and the screen concept seems like a good gameplay addition for her. Also liking Kotal's mid-match animality.

Think only real reason I'm not big on the new one is I don't tend to be huge on ones where they just keep mutilating the body well after they're dead. Is some pretty awesome gore being done with it, just I tend to kind of prefer the devastatingly quick ones.

... Okay, Kotal being locked in the Flesh Pits the whole time is an absurd retcon.
Kotal Kahn looks... slightly more interesting to play as but mostly for the jaguar stuff. I'll need to see his Fatalities, those were really damn bad in 10.
