This new system effectively eliminates input lag, assuming you have a decent connection. For why it's important, it means that now there is no risk of dropping your combos or missing a move/block because of sheer lag, unlike traditional fighting game multiplayer.
I know that not not everyone here cares about online, but this kinda has me stoked. Anything that can improve the online experience, of a fighting game no less, is extremely necessary. You can sign up for the closed beta to test this new online on the 19th. Prolly won't be doing it myself, but nice service nonetheless.

Yup.
That's supposed to be the pit which isnt out yet.We only have stage brutalities so far.
Kinda have mixed feelings about the Queen fatality the new gameplay is cool liking the acid moves also glad Cyrax has his net.
I'll wait until it's 20, then probably get it. Saves me having to buy all of that dlc.
I'm not a huge fan of Kung Jin; his fighting style doesn't seem as fluid to me as I would like. I like Takeda more. Haven't tried Jacqui or Cassie too much yet, so can't comment on them.
Kotal is all right.
I like D'Vorah, but I've found that I only really have success with her when I play aggressively, and that's not my usual playstyle. Her fatality during story mode was sick, though.
Erron and FerraTor I haven't played much of at all.
Probably Takeda from a gameplay standpoint.

The lameness of that and Jacqui & Cassie cosplaying as Scorpion & Sub-Zero aside, glad to see much more skins for the newer characters, especially Erron Black's. Ermac's getting a steel skin in the vein of Scorpion and Sub-Zero, it seems; safe to assume Reptile will as well.
On a much less fortunate note, seems the PC port will no longer be supported.

With that and the fact enhanced online wasn't shown to be on PC, the PC version is more than likely abandoned. Very unfortunate.
Oh, I agree. WB are who I would blame, definitely.
Just finished campaign. Very satisfying to beat Shinnok, and the ending scenes hint at the future, which I like. I enjoyed most of the story, tbh.
I just hope that we're not going to see less and less of the classic characters when the next game comes out.
