00:00We're going to go to them and not talk through their intro scripts.
00:03We will try not to talk through their intros.
00:08Go ahead.
00:09Ok.
00:10We've got a little time.
00:11We've got a bit of a low screen.
00:11Let's do it on the snow forest.
00:14That's all you buddy.
00:15That is all me.
00:16My bad everybody.
00:17And it's actually the dead woods.
00:19The dead woods.
00:19Thank you.
00:20Like we said before, not everything is final.
00:22No.
00:23Living forest, dead woods.
00:25Makes sense.
00:25There we go.
00:27Nope.
00:28Stop talking.
00:29Stop talking.
00:30We know you.
00:33We have fought before.
00:35The memory is gone.
00:38Round one.
00:39Fire.
00:40Alright.
00:41Now, let's go ahead and start with, like we've talked about before, every single Mortal Kombat
00:45character, you still have that flavor that's always been there with characters, and each
00:49variation adds a little touch to it.
00:51So let's talk about the stuff they share with him.
00:53Exactly.
00:54So, common moves with Katana, her probably most signature moves in the series are fan toss.
00:59There we go.
01:00Yeah.
01:01That one's really effective.
01:02You can do the EX version, you get a double fan toss.
01:05And you can also do an air version of that.
01:07The air version is one of her core moves, especially for combos, can suspense characters
01:11in the air for a little while.
01:12Absolutely.
01:13It's kind of some classic Katana combo building.
01:16Right.
01:16If you will.
01:17You also got your fan lift.
01:19Big combo starter for Katana.
01:22Yeah, exactly.
01:22You know.
01:24It's visually changed too, from like the MK9 and the classic fan lift.
01:29It actually looks more like a tornado or a vortex.
01:31I really like the style on that.
01:32Yes.
01:33So that one's really effective.
01:35We are in Royal Storm right now.
01:37Royal Storm right now, yeah.
01:38That one actually has a little bit different variation.
01:42Which we'll get to that part.
01:44Exactly.
01:44But this one will look a little bit different if you see it.
01:46And like we talked with Spearow as well, when it comes to telling characters apart.
01:50This version has the glowing sticks in her hair and it has mask lifts.
01:54Yeah.
01:56Let's go through some other shared moves.
01:57Sure.
01:57She's got her, she's got her, oh, we got the hover, I guess, yeah.
02:02A little hover move.
02:03That move is deceptively complex and really useful.
02:07Because not only can you use it to dodge projectiles when you're across the screen from
02:10someone, but you can also follow some attacks afterwards.
02:12So you can do things like jump in and then float.
02:14So I can do, like.
02:15Yeah.
02:17Exactly.
02:17Or, you know, you can attack and then float and then attack.
02:20Right.
02:20There's a ton of possibilities.
02:22So yeah, it definitely can kind of trick the opponent into thinking you're going to land,
02:25you don't land.
02:26Exactly.
02:27Exactly.
02:27So yeah, a lot of utility in that one.
02:29We also have the laser fan.
02:32Yeah.
02:32That move is very good anti-air.
02:35You can meter burn, of course, to get the, you know, extra damage out of that one as well.
02:39I like to use it when I get knocked down.
02:41I like to use it kind of like a wake attack.
02:44Joel, sorry about that.
02:45I just want to make sure everybody saw his x-ray again.
02:47Yeah.
02:48That's what happens.
02:49Yeah.
02:49I just want to, it's your contribution.
02:52Well, you know, I didn't have much to say there for a second.
02:54So I figured I would just impose it.
02:56That's okay.
02:56Well, let me mention something real quickly before I forget.
02:58All that concept art you just saw on the stream, if you look at NetherRealm's Twitter
03:03right now, our community manager Rego has put up a link to our Tumblr page so you can tear
03:07apart the stuff even more.
03:09Yes.
03:09Which we're excited about.
03:11Am I forgetting anything else for common specials?
03:12There's one more that's a little new.
03:14We got a throat slice.
03:15Oh yeah, the throat slice.
03:16That moves really fast.
03:18It's a really good combo ender.
03:19Yeah.
03:20You can meter burn for a little bit more damage.
03:22Yeah.
03:23That one's a good all-around, like, you know, I'm finishing off our juggle.
03:27I want to threaten space kind of at mid-screen.
03:29It comes out so fast that you kind of always have to be watching out.
03:33So yeah, you can definitely, like, I like to use enders and such like this, which I missed,
03:37so whatever.
03:38Tyler, don't show off all your goods.
03:39Sorry.
03:39You need to stop doing that.
03:40Come on, come on.
03:41We also talk, you know, those who don't play fighting games a lot, there's a term we
03:45use called footsies.
03:46Yes.
03:47And footsies is kind of a way to always be sort of like in the range where your best
03:51move is right near them.
03:53So this move, this move right there, is great when you're just at mid-screen.
03:59and you're trying to fake them out a little bit, and then boom, yeah.
04:02Yeah, if you can predict where they're going to be, that's a very dangerous move.
04:05And if they're trying to backdash on you, you can easily catch them there.
04:08Exactly.
04:08A lot of utility for that move.
04:10Now let's kind of go into Royal Storm's differences.
04:13Yeah, Royal Storm was probably my favorite trait of all three of hers.
04:16Which I think is funny, because everyone's always like, oh, well there'll just be one trait
04:20and everybody likes.
04:21Yeah.
04:22Absolutely untrue.
04:23Yeah.
04:23Because you were like, you like Royal Storm.
04:24Yeah, you like one of the other ones.
04:25My favorite is Assassin.
04:27Because that's sort of how I like to play, although I've found matchups where I like
04:31using Royal Storm.
04:32Exactly.
04:33Exactly.
04:33I think the reason I like this one so much, it has so much utility.
04:36There's all of her new moves in this one kind of have a lot of really different functions.
04:41And so I guess the first one you can show is the new family.
04:44So that one has additional range.
04:46Right.
04:47Regular I can get about mid-screen, but if I'm full screen and I EX it, it is a full
04:54screen.
04:55And then from across the screen you can be throwing fans, air fans, follow up on combos,
04:58all sorts of options.
04:59So that's been super effective.
05:01Then you have the square wave.
05:02Right.
05:03Yeah, square wave attack.
05:04Great for getting in or also getting away.
05:07Yep.
05:08I'd say this version of her has the most airborne moves.
05:12Yeah.
05:12She has the float, she's got the square wave in the air, she's got the fan toss.
05:16You can do a lot of combos that way.
05:18I would say this move really controls everything above you.
05:21Very, very...
05:22Exactly.
05:22She's very threatening if you jump.
05:25You don't necessarily want to jump mindlessly.
05:27She also has this, which Derek I believe...
05:31I picked a character without a projectile.
05:32Picked a character without a projectile.
05:34We can kind of...
05:34Don't worry, we'll see it later.
05:36Oh.
05:38This is one of the best reflects I've ever seen in a fighting game.
05:40Yeah, so you can actually hold it down.
05:41So if, like, you were talking earlier to me about Cassie Cage.
05:43Yeah, Cassie Cage has an EX gunshot move.
05:47Has multiple projectiles.
05:49You don't just reflect one, you can reflect all three back and keep holding it or timing correctly.
05:53And, yeah, it's any character that is throwing multiple attacks at you that are projectiles,
05:57you can be incredibly dangerous looks across the screen.
06:00So this whole build could be kind of effective as a zoning build, right?
06:04If you're, you know, throwing different kinds of projectiles out and bouncing stuff back.
06:08I like to use it as, like, an anti-zoning build.
06:10So if someone's trying to just stay away from me...
06:12By build you mean variation.
06:13Yeah, variation, sorry.
06:14No problem.
06:15Yeah.
06:15So I can use a variation...
06:17This variation to say, no, you can't just stay away from me.
06:20You have to come at me and then I'm controlling the game.
06:22Excellent.
06:22Yeah.
06:23Alright.
06:23Let's move on to the next one.
06:26Oh, and as you can see, in the corner we have Goro.
06:29We are not going to select him today.
06:32I know that will disappoint some people.
06:34Well, we at least put him on screen for...
06:35...
06:35...
