I don't know if my friend misinterpret the person, but he assumes we will be playing MK9 since the shop is not allowed to open MKX until release day

Either he misunderstood or they're just lying. We opened games up for demo stations early all the time. Best example was our MK9 midnight releases. We did tournaments for MK9, lmao.

The real reason is that it would take forever to set up Xbox Ones/PS4s because of that install and update bullshit. Especially since it requires a stable wireless internet connection (which most Gamestops do NOT have, some no wireless internet at all) and that would take like 2 hours, probably more for multiple systems. And that's assuming the systems are already up to date (which they would not be, thinking about it now).

Right. This is also the same store he went to and it did a Street Fighter IV (vanilla) tournament. And I told him that "Wait, that doesn't make sense...".

Is Kenshi unlocked right off the bat?

Yes. The only one you have to unlock is Shinnok, which you do so by completing the story. According to my friend, it took him 5 hours to finish the story. That's probably with cutscenes, because he actually does care for the story. I'm going to start the story mode later today, most likely.

Then it's settle. I'm Kenshi at Monday night.

Gamestop had a tournament right before the midnight launch.
Winner gets free copy of the game.
I came in 2nd place. I don't get shit.
lololololololol not even mad.

I lost against a Reptile player who clearly had practice before the tournament. Heh whatever, but he still bled.
The majority of players in it clearly never played MK9 before except for the final dude, who dished out a corner trap combo on me a few times but I still 1 and 1 in matches and rounds against him until the last one during our "Best of 2/3".
Unfortunately the button registering, I dunno if controller or the console version itself, but it let me down most of the time. Playstation 4 mind you.
Still a bit playable but I feel so basic, like it feels like I'm playing MK9 online and can't do my combo strings, just only doing basic stuff. I know it sounds weird for me to say that when I never had practice in MKX, but I'm no stranger at all to how the mechanics work, if it's a bit different (which it slightly is), I can adjust very fast.
The controller design of the Playstation 4 is NOT for Fighting games like this with it's shoulder buttons, someone already fucking got the Block button "sticking". Not something you want to experience during your very first match. And my X-Ray didn't register in one my matches on command on a different controller.
So again, I'm going to refer back to the corner trap I was placed in, couldn't even Enhanced my way out of it which would had gave me armor and fucked him.

With that said, I'm heavily curious to know how the Xbox One version feels.

Not sure if I like the run feature, it's weird that you have to hold block and hit forward forward, it's one button too many for me. And I think the wake up attacks have been changed.

Shit was awesome though. I did both of Kenshi's Fatalities and people where like "oooooooooh". Sadly it was against my friend. Yeah, me and my friend was pitted against each other due to some technical error in the bracket. If my friend never said anything to the host, we would had never got in.

Not all is lost though, my friend gave me his pre-order poster.

^ good shit getting 2nd. But it sucks you didn't get squat.

Playing through the story mode. Up to chapter 6 and the bug lady, D'vorah. Quite possibly my favorite of the new characters just in design. Although it can be hard to make out what she's saying. Haven't tried anything yet outside of story and practice. I would rather just get through the story to get Shinnok and then go from there.

Just got my copy, got a good deal on it.

Hefty update today, guys. 15 GB. This includes the first part of the season pass, which will be available on Tuesday. Hoping Jason is at least decent, lol

Also a free Klassic Sub-Zero costume! Yay.

Anyway, started playing with my brother. He taught me a few things with Balanced Kenshi, who's awesome. I have a hard time executing combos when against actual players lol, but damn is it satisfying when you actually know what you're doing.

I agree, the inputs are satisfying when you know what you are doing. Also, do you mean for PC or X1?
