Shadow Lords Mode

Way back in the day, I remember when Mortal Kombat created this game called Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub Zero where we could basically use his entire move-set as he traversed these cool levels as a side-scroller. I also remember the Team mode(s) from Killer Instinct Gold like the Elimination one where we had to Ultra somebody in order to beat an opponent’s team member. Tapping into any portion of those elements would be amazing. The futurability and replayability of stuff like that is endless. Needless to say, I’m really intrigued by the prospect of Shadow Lords.

It does sound cool, but it looks like MS told you to come up without a mode that would use micro transactions, so they could keep getting money long after the season is over.

I am not bashing the talent of IG, but this micro transaction crap in games is getting out of control

this sounds similar to the weapon master mode in soul calibur 2, no?

I’ll troll the KI characters so hard when making the teams

Team 1: Jago, Omen, Gargos (you can bet they hate each other soooo much)
Team 2: Fulgore, Thunder, Aganos (a.k.a “the chattiest guys ever” team, or “my buddy is a golem and my brother a murderous robot. We stomp faces for fun”)
Team 3: Hisako, Kan-Ra, Spinal (the spooky team)
Team 4: TJ, Tusk, Thunder (roid rage team, alternate names: WWE team, Venice Beach team, Mr. Olympia team…)

My thoughts exactly lets just hope it comes with a separate story mode and then this game will really have substance

I loved weapon master, Id be happy if it was just a close of it tbh with challenges like the bombs and stuff like that or having to hit opponents in the air

Perhaps the items you craft are equippable items with stats (e.g. fire dmg +2, etc.).

What would be cool is if those said equippable items were also cosmetic items as the ones already in the game, a la Tekken and Virtua Fighter.

Last thing I need to see is fulgore with a halo and angel wings…

I’m sure if he were to get wings, they’d be similar to Archangel’s metallic wings, but I digress.

Wouldn’t be the first time they took an idea from Tekken. Tekken has a ghost mode just like the shadow mode

This this this. Because of Shadow Lab, I have left the rest of the single-player content completely untouched, as the Shadow AI is SO VERY MUCH BETTER in every way than the standard AI.

My time to play the game is limited, so every moment I spend with it is precious. I don’t want to spend ANY time fighting the standard AI; I don’t have time to deviate from good habits, so I don’t play anything but exhibition/ranked/shadows. Shadows have become my standard “warm up” and I intend to keep it that way.

I am really excited about what this mode can bring to the table, but I will be really sad if it’s driven by an AI that I refuse to spend my time with.

This is all your fault, MS/IG - you’ve spoiled us with the best AI a FG has ever offered. Now please spread that AI evenly along the rest of your single-player modes!

@TempusChaoti please please pretty please I will buy you a subscription to the Jelly of the Month Club™
