I hope they implement a tutorial mode ala blazblue.

Any word on whether Kreate a Fighter mode will return?

Kreate a Fighter was terrible, so hopefully not.

Aww... you killed spambot. Now my previous comment makes no sense.

Having never played a MK game. I'm interested in trying this one out. Not really a fighting game guy, but this being the first 2D one in years I imagine they'll put extra care to make it good.

Unfortunately, I have no interest in fighting games; however, I want to hear Hollie talk for a few hours with that accent of hers.

LOL buttons done up in this one, did you finally notice the boob shots?

Great interview Hollie. After watching the new MK9 gameplay that was shown at PAX, I literally had a heart attack that's how insanse this game is.

Cannot wait and thanks for getting the actual date out of him most others didn't.

We learned absolutely nothing from this interview. Why do interviewers insist on not trying to gather new information?

@jfrost it's a beat 'em up to us Brits. Over here, in all of our gaming magazines for as long as I can remember, what Americans call fighting games, we called beat 'em ups - what Americans call beat 'em ups, we call side-scrolling beat 'em ups. Similarly, I had never heard the term "first person shooter" until a couple of years ago, as over here all the magazines called them shoot 'em ups, and what is known as a shoot 'em up in America was called a side-scrolling shoot 'em up.

So, Hollie's quite right to call it a beat 'em up. That's what they've been called here for decades now.

@Ace Flibble

I like that you were trying to educate. But, I'm not so sure your right. I'm also a 'Brit' and I agree that we have pretty much always called fighters beat 'em ups. But, I have never referred to an FPS as a shoot 'em up. Even when I was networking doom in its prime, or playing half-life I don't think I called them shoot 'em ups. To me a shoot 'em up would have been R-type, M.U.S.H.A , SWIV, Xenon II and so on. I'm pretty sure that I have always referred to FPS as a first person shooter.

Yeah when I saw the comment about me getting it wrong with 'beat 'em up' I had to stop and pause, but yeah they have always been beat 'em ups in the UK. I do agree with Ace on the shoot 'em up thing, but since there were so many types of shoot 'em up, I think the whole FPS and 3PS made its way over here alot earlier.

As for the interview saying nothing new, sadly doing an interview doesn't exactly mean 'exclusive' or new information, sadly much the same way a written hands-on does. Alot of the time the stuff we want to know they ain't gonna talk about. I just keep things open and if I see a chance, like with the DLC, I will dive a little further. What I like about interviews is you get a chance to see the people behind the game.

as for not liking my voice and thinking i'm terrible? sorry but you will be skipping alot of videos over the next few days.

@Hollie

Don't be sensitive about peoples comments. Its the faceless internet. The way I would look at it is this:

People may complain about your interviewing technique, or the way you sound, or some other pointless shit. But, when it comes down to it, you work for Destructoid. You get to interview these people in cool places and its you who has the fucking cool job. Most people here would love to do what you do and if they did? Then somebody would be bitchin' about them instead. Whiners are gonna whine.

COME HERE

Oh I do miss the days where you could do the splits, punch a man in the balls and then rip his spine out whilst wearing sunglasses.

Now if someone could just make a game with that in.

i saw a video of someone playing this game on iplaywinner. it looks terrible, just like mk v dc. also that game did have fatalities for those who keep stating nonsense as fact.

@epic-koryuken

"no need to bitch about it." - How very hypocritical of you.
