It may just be me. As far as sounds like him, kinda, but not exactly. I looked on IMDB and it’s showing Greg Eagles (rumored) as Jax. If so, he also did Jax on MK10, so it would make sense.
Greg does have a similar voice to Ernie…around the same pitch for sure.

They could’ve gotten Carl Weathers again. Oh well.
Apparently that’s actually his Fatal Blow, since people pointed out the fatalities have dark lighting in the background.
And just like with Noob I am surprised Jax came back since Jacqui took a lot of his old moves. But he does have a new gotcha grab where he can move freely while carrying the opponent, so I guess they might be giving him all new stuff to replace the things he lost.
Also Noob has always been a wraith, his new voice makes sense. He never sounded death metal even in the older games.
Finally, they need to stop avoiding Kitana already, she’s been shown in two separate trailers already (this and the documentary one from months ago). She’s clearly going to be playable, no point in pretending anymore.

You’re probably right about Kitana. But remember there were characters in MKX who showed up in the story mode, you fought against them, and they never made it to being playable characters.

Welp Jeff and I ended up pre-ordering it, and whatever money I had left we bought Power Rangers Battle for the Grid.
So I cna only hope that Reptile will at least make it in as DLC if not the base roster.

The beta in on.
I’ve played a little bit of it.
Well, nothing really exciting this cast unless you REALLY like Liu Kang, Kung Lao, and/or Jax Briggs. But doing three characters a cast? I’m all for that! Although even at that rate it will be a real tight race to get everyone in by release.
I love all the flourishes they’ve given Kung Lao. Just so many quick punches on moves, which I dig. He also looks like he animates really well and just has a cool overall style; the stuff you’d expect from him, but also turned up to 11. Also love having the Great Kung Lao spirit giving him some moves. That’s a really nice lore touch right there. I think they just did a lot of nice little things to make him feel both familiar but fresh.
Liu Kang got a few nice little add-ons as well, with the weapon stance with a few auto combos and the teleport. I’m curious to see what some of his other options are move-wise, because it felt like they maybe stayed a little too close to home on him, but that’s alright. Still some fun stuff in there.
As for Jax, I’m kinda torn on him. On one hand, I love all the throws he can do, I love the options he has on gotcha grab, but man… The fired up arms being part of his base moveset? Not really a fan. It just feels like there’s too much centering around that mechanic. Also, I tend to be a fan of the Jax without metal arms, so I’m hoping he has that option, even though it might make the glowing aspect look a bit odd.
Either way, it was nice to see them go through three characters today, and while I’m not really that hyped for any of the three, there was enough in each moveset to make me want to use them, especially Kung Lao. Plus, I think all three of them look amazing. The animation team is doing a phenomenal job on this game.
Curious who else we’ll see besides Noob Saibot next week. They said “others” so maybe it’s another week of three reveals? My guess is D’vorah and Erron Black, though Kitana also seems like a possibility. Who else is left besides those three and the two unannounced new characters? Shao Khan? Guessing they won’t show off Shang Tsung all that soon.
Noob Saibot, Kitana, D’Vorah, and Erron Black have all bean revealed but not shown. Kollektor, Cetrion, Rain, and Frost are all yet to be revealed, as well as potentially 2 if other leaks are to be beleived.
Ah right, I forgot about Frost. Good call there. I’ll be surprised if Rain makes the cut, but who knows. I’d have to think they’ll show off Kollektor and Cetrion sometime soon as well, for sure.
Rain was in the Steam Leak
Eeehhhh The beta is well…
Ok at best IMO.
Daaaaang, they actually gave Liu Kang his nunchaku back? That’s what I wanted but I didn’t expect it.
I really liked Misery Blade on Scorpion so I guess I can try using Liu Kang’s nunchaku stance similarly. Not sure what exactly I’ll be able to fit in as a moveset though. Guess I’ll have to see.
love the Asian cgi mk11 kitana
never cared for her much but playable or not, the new look is intriguing

YOur crazy if you dont think MK11 is Epic. Yeah you may not be very good at it but who is around here? Its not KI so it takes time and rpactice…but there is no way anyone can say this gam eis jut OK or Meh. You may not be feeling it and thats ok…but this game if top notch. THe custimization and story mode alone is going to be legendary until the next MK comes out. SF, KI, all of them wish they could make a game this good looking. I wish KI would do soemthing of this calibur.
*** BTW the beta is great Kabals skins …OMG! Kablas custimazations…WOW! I havent even got to JAde yet…sinc eunfortunatley Id rather be playing Swkiro right now.. but Ill get back to MK later since i just play a few towers and customized Kabal a bit… man he looks so good!
