Regarding the boobs thing, I always found it weird how in SF4 Juri had small boobs, but one of her profiles said she liked big boobs, and then in SFV they just done away with that and gave her a "buff" in the chest department. Maybe she got implants?

Someone should tell NRS that. No hyperbole but Kerri Hoskins has aged better than in game Sonya Blade and it's not even close. Kerri Hoskins vs MK11 Sonya is a 10-0 matchup. Scratch that a 13-0 matchup.

Not going to miss the chance at the joke tee'd up for me. Ask the King of Betas. 
 

Taking away their personality 😡
Nah joke, in RL smaller bewbs usually have more advantages over bigger boobs. So it makes sense. 

How is that bad 

This is fitting lol
 

Regarding titties and MK "tamer" designs: Well, Cammy and Chun have smaller boobs now in SF6. Thanks Ed Boon... 🙄

If I get it great, if I don't great.
 
Not gonna sweat it since I'm sure some nonsense will happen to stop me from being able to play. Tomorrow night my wife has a school event, then who knows what'll happen during the day saturday and sunday might be a blow up.
 
Next weekend the new GG character drops. The day he drops is my daughter's kinder graduation, then the next day its work and my wife's end of year concert, then the saturday I have other shit to do and well all fuck it.
 
😂

I get the joke but what I find more funny is people calling PS5 and Xbox Series "next gen". They are current gen. Next gen is PS6, Xbox (Insert Stupid Name here), and Switch 2.

Honestly? After some thinking I came to the conclusion that the gore and violence would also look better and be cooler if they went for stylization over realism.
 
They wouldn't have to traumatize their own developers by making them reference liveleak tier of real gore and it could be just as effective if not more, because you don't have to look at actual human viscera in order to make cool looking fictional violence. If anything, I thought the violence ended up being actually kind of disappointing in 11, in spite of all the work and apparently misery that went into it. But then again, with photorealism the shock factor is easy to achieve, while with stylization you actually have to work for it and it might fall flat if badly executed, and now they're also stuck having to compete with their own previous entries in terms of intensity.
 
But let's look at the bright side: I remember reading that some NRS developers could never look at their dogs without imagining their insides after being crunched on MK11, but at least they waited until Sindel's release to put those naughty immoral tits back in. Thank goodness for that!

NO

Keep on playing with Misterbee. This is what happened to the last guy....
 

Bee doesn't scare me. Bee would never want the smoke from me. I run this bitch 🙂

JP is is being written to be the most interesting villain SF has in this comic. I called it months ago, he's giving Ken types of scenarios Heath Ledger's Joker would use in the Dark Knight. The sad thing is we already know Ken's going to lose and JP is going to win.  JP is playing everyone like a pawn in a chess game.
 
He's not some Saturday morning cartoon villain like Bison. He's miles above what Seth was when he was introduced. Gill and the secret society aren't even on his level. 
 
I like how technology plays a big part in this comic. I thought it was going to take a more supernatural route but it's staying pretty grounded. Nobody's being brainwashed or kidnapped for experiments and it feels like a psychological crime thriller based in the modern age.

The similarities between G and JP are too much for it to be mere coincidence. 
 
I think ultimately JP used a similar technique to G's absorbtion of the Earth's power to absorb Psycho Power for himself. Possibly from Ed or possibly simply from the corruption of the Earth itself following the Black Moon incident.
 
How they are related remains to be seen. Maybe they are members of the same organization, whatever those Terra Nova guys are.
 
I feel like there's some clues to them being the same person, but it feels unlikely due to the Q connection as well, since three playable characters being in the run for being the same person seems too far-fetched.
 
Considering G styles himself President of the Earth, he has a space hideout, Rose predicts the destruction of the world and now this whole Nayshall ordeal with the Terra Nova guys... everything seems connected.
 
Also, Gill's plan to get everyone on a remote island to save them from the prophecy's impending doom seems like a misrepresentation of what G/JP might be planning: exiling everyone in space while the Earth is destroyed. If they accept willingly they become the masked men and if they go rogue, Q-fy them.
 
Also, Gill misrepresented the propechy to think that Bison was the one to bring about the end of the world and tried to hurry up the process a little to make himself the saviour, but in truth, judging from Oro and Rose's stories in SFV it is "Bison's shadow" that will bring about the ultimate destruction. And what is this shadow? Psycho Power!
 
That still exists even after Bison's defeat in the Neo-Shadaloo guys. The perfect source for someone with a power harnessing ability like G (and JP?) to steal it from, especially since Ed and Falke are too weak to use it. The two might even give it, or at least a harmful excess of it, up willingly, to escape the Bison nightmares. Which is why there might be a connection between Ed and JP hinted at based on the owl symbol.
 

So thoughts on chapter 3 of the SF6 prequel...? All I'mma say is Ken needs to send JP to hell for all eternity.

Master Race all day everyday.
 
Damn, doesn't open on the client and it redirects to the main storefront. This is why piracy happens.

Also seriously tomorrow ima start deleting posts in here that aren't SF6 related.
 
🙂

SF6 thread topic be damned, everybody needs to see this:
 
 
 
Also, how do I get the beta download?
 
😂
 
 

Anyway, is anyone going to get MK12 on the Switch for the real next-gen experience?
 
 

MK11's fatalities may be a bit much combined with modern graphics, but they definitely made me wince more than Jamie's super.
 
I don't think there's anything wince-worthy about it at all tbh.  It's pretty tame by most anime/kung-fu movie standards.

I know it's Mortal Kombat and all but man, they're really uping the gore even more. I have nothing against it, but I really wish they would try to go back to the more simple fatalities of the first 4 games. Quick and to the point always felt better. It would take creativity to actually make the simple finishing moves more grand and cinematic. Kano ripping a heart out bare handed or Sub-Zero ripping a spine straight out always felt more visceral than all this goofy shit.
 
You can do goofy stuff in Story Mode, but of course, in story mode all characters are portrayed as these conflicted individuals who are struggling between good and evil... then next thing Johnny is blowing up a hole in his daughter's chest. Like, either have the good guys be good guys, or go ham with it. It's not like between hordes of monsters and demons invading your home they don't have an excuse to blow off some limbs with they martial arts magic powers.
 
Also, good remider that the original MK movie was great, is a beloved classic and that had 0 gore in it, so the idea that MK wouldn't work if they toned that shit down is assinine.
 
But of course, the easy sell is to up the ante... To have such a cool cast and do nothing cool with it for a decade, except come up with new flashy ways to off eachother while the story has gone to shit is criminal. 
 
Lo and behold, Liu Kang will probably turn evil again, Injustice Superman style, crapping all over the little good that came out of the shitshow that was MK11.
