The current kombat pack sounds like a ripoff, unless I'm missing something. $30 for 4 characters and some skins. Is that all there actually is in it?
What more did you expect from the season pass of a fighting game though? Price aside, the question should be whether the characters in it themselves are worth your time/of interest to you.

Wont be getting Tanya and cant care about the skins....Otherwise I agree.
edit: And to this game's credit, it's at least giving us free skins like klassic Sub-Zero, klassic Reptile (still the best version of Reptile), and presumably more to come.
Speaking of Tanya, her variations apparently are Pyromancer, Dragon Naginata, and Kobujutsu. Needless to say, kinda like before, I guess she's a female Scorpion in the sense of having teh phire, who happens to wear yellow too...

Come to think of it, yeah. I do wish such kombat packs in the future would consist of more than just the standard 4 characters like in MK9 or Injustice, especially with how they're becoming more and more about adding guest characters from horror series or somesuch anyway. Stages is the only other simple thing I could see them adding as DLC, yeah.
mmm So, apparently there are secret character brutalities in the game not listed in one's finisher list (even if you have all the brutalities for said characters unlocked from the krypt), like this one for Reptile.
I had once did a brutality as Sonya with her x-ray without knowing how I did it which wasn't listed as any of her 6 brutalities in her move list, so guess I should've known there'd be even more than the game's move lists were letting on. Well played I guess, NRS.
And Tanya's release date finally!... Kinda.

Thankfully, it's just speculation, but if Kombat Pack 2 consisted of basically guys who got to be playable in the last game along with goddamn Frost (unique my ass; I've played the games she's in and she was nothing of the sort), I'll have pretty little interest in it. If nothing else, fans of the other NPC's may need to make themselves as heard to Boon on twitter as the Frost fans, I suppose. ermm
In regards to Frost, I just want to point that she only shared like two moves with Sub-Zero in MKDA-MKA. Plus NRS has come a long way with designing fighting game characters since then. There were several characters in Injustice that had similar powers and abilities, yet NRS found ways to have them be unique and play differently from each other. Not to mention it had Killer Frost and she played nothing like Sub-Zero.
So unless NRS started to suddenly lack some imagination, there's really no reason why they can't do the same with Frost.
That's true, I can admit that. However, I just feel anything unique they could come up with Frost, they'd might as well save for Sub-Zero for the next game or so, because at the end of the day, she is still just another cryomancer. It'd be easier to make someone else like Sareena a unique character with 3 variations than it would Frost.
With Frost compared to Sub-Zero, it's the same thing I have with Sheeva too; why would you want to play as her when you can be ****ing Goro? 😛 (I say that with pretty much any female knockoffs of already existing characters, so it's not just a thing I have against Frost)
And if we were to get Frost, should they bring back Kira too then, who was just a mix of Kano and Sonya's moves? 😬
Oh, since you brought her up, I did like Killer Frost in Injustice, but frankly, her special movepool was too barren compared to others in the game... Point taken with her though.
I'd actually be up for a revamped Kira. The concept of a female Black Dragon member is interesting. However the problem was like you mentioned, she was just mainly a mix of Sonya and Kano.
Then again, Smoke initially wasn't very original either. All of his specials in MK3 were just taken from other characters or at least functioned similarly to another character's special.
Yeah well, Smoke, like the other hidden characters at the time, had moves from other characters pulled out of their asses before they became more developed with original movesets later on (Reptile having Scorpion and Sub-Zero's moves in his MK1 debut, etc). But again, point taken I suppose.
Next comic chapter... Enter Shujinko, champion of the elder gods, the greatest hero that never was...!
Getting cheapshotted seems to kinda be a thing or trend for these comics at times... I'm sure that shotgun thing from Sonya was prolly just a flesh wound for Tremor though.
Hope the same for Ermac at least. The in-game story was wanking the newer generation earthrealmers too much in general; Kung Jin beating Kotal Kahn, etc.. Speaking of Kung Jin, still find it funny how he's the only new guy who wasn't introduced or built up in the comics beforehand.
Speaking of Ermac he is so much fun to play one of the most enjoyable and easiest character to master...
Wonder if Hanzo will whoop Havik......they have been d1ckridin him to death...haermm
Finally got my Rain comic background....dancesuperm
Starting to really like Mileena's piercing variation she can do tons of damage.......wanna play other characters as well but having too much fun tearing people apart with Goro.
Imo they should patch him and boost his damage a bit not by much it's not okay that characters like Kano have more powerful combos then him ....😛
ermm
46% with a basic combo...

Huh, interesting..
But yeah, I prefer piercing for Mileena, even though I mostly used ravenous for her at first. Piercing just seems to have the best combo potential for me with them sais (good on those who do equally well with her biting moves, though). It's kinda how I went from using a-list to maining stunt double for Johnny Cage, and how I went from spectral to master of souls for Ermac... MoS Ermac is so dope with all the combos and stuff you can do with the soulball.
I guess now I'm starting to appreciate the variation system more now (even though I still feel it holds some characters back more than it should like Shinnok). Sticking to just one variation with a character forever like I used to I just feel to be the equivalent of shooting yourself in the foot in MK, as they give characters different, and better matchups against other opponents. That's kinda what they're for anyway, aside from keeping someone from having too many specials in one moveset or something.
If an Injustice 2 still happens in the future, it'll be interesting to see how it works for DC characters there.
Mos Ermac is so sweet he is easy to play and with soul ball you can easily pull off 30%+ combos.
One of the coolest characters imo.
Wanna get good with Tigrar Fury Goro been using dragon fangs his triangle ,square ,d,b+triangle+r2 then uppercut combo is an easy 30% damage. But he lacks the fire ball range attack.
Reptile nimble version seems cool as well he has a pretty easy 40% corner combo with the reflex special.
Oh yeah, with how much you said you used Goro, was actually gonna ask if you knew any decent combos with dragon fangs next time I was able to get on, so thanks for that one there. Will try it. 👆 That variation is the only one of his I hadn't really touched since I wasn't that good with it upon first impression, but then when I learned or realized it was more combo focused than his other two, it kinda got my attention more recently.
Goro in general usually doesn't really need to be combo heavy though, as he gets by well enough by being a rush and grab kind of fighter, along with a number of his specials (in tigrar fury or kuatan warrior, both of which I've used a lot, but the latter a little more). The idea of using combos with him more kinda appeals to me too though, as it's not something one would really expect too much from a Goro player, so much as being cheap with his specials.
Dragon fang ex special is Goro's best "launcher" imo it does good damage as well.A simple triangle,square,d,b triangle combo does 21% damage which is not bad imo.
With this variation you cant spam the b ,triangle launcher as fast with the other 2 though.
Cool thing about Goro is that you if you finish your corner combo with an uppercut pt which flings the enemy to the oppsite side you can still catch him with the d,b,f+x command throw in air.
I wish all combo videos/tutorials like those gave text for the button inputs somewhere on the side when playing. If someone's using their voice to tell how to do 'em then fair enough; can learn it that way too, though I'm able to follow the other method a little easier. But when it's just short videos with random music playing that's "show, don't tell how", then I get a little peeved.
Anyway, will try to pull off some of those when I'm able to play again later. 👆 And nice, should've known that earlier mentioned combo could also be ended with shokan/command grab. Don't know why I didn't think of that. Should make the grab brutality easier to do against good opponents too...
Release date for Tanya....hoping that Predator comes before July.ermm
