Hotaru
Havik's official description on the website describes him as being from the Seido, the Realm of Order, in this game. Makes sense that Hotaru would make an appearance if the Realm of Order is featured.

I want this game badly, but I will wait for the edition that has all the DLC, and for a sale. Guess that'll be about two years from now.

That's how I usually handle these too. Solid strategy really. I will probably hold off on purchasing any further DLC and get that version when it comes out. I don't play online so buying a character pack doesn't really do anything for me.

Yeah I don't play fighting games online either. Too old for that shite. The only fighting game I really put a lot of time into online, essentially ever, was Dead or Alive 4 on 360. My God was that game amazing.

Especially if you grew up on SF2 and MK1 and 2

I will mention just because I really got into fighting games seriously including online with Guilty Gear Strive in 2021, to be too old requires you to basically be on death's door
Most of the things people stereotypically assume they need to be super good at to be even remotely decent at fighting games are extremely overblown. Now if you don't want to bother just because it doesn't interest you, that's fine naturally. I just wouldn't avoid it because of your own difficulty perception because it's likely wrong to be honest.
There was a guy who played in Evo over the past weekend, the biggest FG tourney on the planet, who was blind, and he played like a relatively Gold rank SF6 player and actually won his set on stream. Youtube link for those interested.

I simply won’t put in enough time to be good, and that’s because I’m old (ie less time to do so).
Posted on 8/10/23 at 8:40 am to SCgamecock2988
Understandable.
I'll probably play MK1 casually. I'm not looking into it as a comp game since NRS balance tends to be a bit whack for my taste. That and NRS zoners are infamous.

Yeah Cetrion in MK11…MULTIPLE characters in Injustice 1&2. But they updated movement speed significantly and it seems like more characters have abilities to counter zoning this time.
I put A LOT of time into MK11 and INJ2. Still only averaged a 50% win rate. Fighting games take years and years to get good at, which is why I think there are so many casuals. Most of the top tier fighting game players that kick everyone’s asses online have been playing that shite since they were 9 or 10.
On another note: I’m loving a lot of the re-designs and character reworks they’re doing. Still not a fan of Scorp not being Hanzo but everything else they’ve done with Reptile, Baraka, Ashrah, and the Tarkatan disease has been great

I'm just doing the math here. I guess it's too much to hope that fan favorite characters won't be relegated to DLC, but that doesn't mean I have to like it.
Eh. There’s nothing wrong with putting Sonya, Kano, Jade and some of the others on ice for a bit and letting NRS re-design some of the 3D era characters that a lot of NRS fans have been clamoring for. A lot of the 3D era characters look great as well, especially Li Mei.
There’s still plenty of classics confirmed:
Johnny Cage
Scorpion
Raiden
Kung Lao
Sub Zero
Smoke
Shang Tsung
Reptile
Baraka
Kitana
Mileena
Shao
Sindel
Ermac
Quan Chi
I’d count Kenshi and Rain too since they’ve made a ton of appearances since they were introduced. That’s over half the roster with classic characters.

I totally disagree with putting staples as DLC. Leaving Sonya and Kano off the base roster would be nothing more than a cash grab imo. Same as making Mileena a DLC character for MK11.
Couldn't care less about Jade, but I'm pretty sure she'll be announced as a base character since they've put basically every other original palette swap character in the game. They've even got Khameleon as a kameo.
I'm not sure I can agree that Li Mei looks great. She looks like they went out of their way to make her completely unattractive imo. Same with Tanya.

I mean seriously, these are the official character cards for Li Mei and Tanya on the MK1 website. It looks like they spent 20 minutes putting these faces together. These chicks are UGLY.

I've seen a rumor going around that Hanzo is Smoke in this game.
If that ends up being true, I wish they would have kept him as Scorpion and have Kuai Liang be Smoke instead.
I don't really have strong feelings about Smoke's identity being changed, but Hanzo not being Scorpion is just weird.

The open beta for preorders is this coming weekend, 8/18-8/21. You can preload the beta if you pre-ordered the game. My code was printed directly on my receipt from Game Stop.

That article says there will be both online 1v1 and single player towers against computer AI available.

I was able to download the beta today using the code from my receipt. Can open the game, but can't click through the menu screen. Looking forward to this weekend.
