Mortal Kombat X’s Quitality will take your head off

Quitality

We’ve all experienced it before. An online match where the odds are in our favour, the clock is counting down and you’re about to win. Yeah baby, yeah! And then your opponent decides to rage-quit. It’s the digital equivalent of kicking the chess board over when you’re on a losing streak, and something that happened all too often in Mortal Kombat or any fighting game for that matter. Mortal Kombat X has a plan to deal with that kind of behaviour though. And it’s viciously satisfying.

After teasing a new type of “ality” yesterday, Ed Boon came through on the latest Kombat Kast, with the Quitality making a debut. Basically, it’ll make a rage-quitter’s head explode and grant you a victory. Check it out below:

Other details gleaned from the Kombat Kast include variations for Mileena, Takeda and Kung Jin. Mileena has Ethereal (Teleportation skills), Ravenous (Chomp attacks) and Piercing (A mix of projectiles and sais), while Kung Jin can use the Ancestral (Bow attacks), Bojutsu (Bo staff) and Shaolin (Chakram) attack variations. Takeda benefits from Shirai Ryu (Whips and spears), Lasher (electric whip and ranged) and Ronan (dual plasma swords) skills.

More videos of that in action then:

There’s one other nice bit of info that was also revealed: Mortal Kombat X will allow PS3 arcade sticks to work on the PS4 version of the game. Or at least two of them will. The special fight stick pad that came with Mortal Kombat 9 in 2011 will work just fine, as will the Injustice: Gods Among Us peripheral from 2013. No word yet on if such compatibility will be available between Xbox consoles.

    I’m not trying to be funny or anything, but I’m starting to feel like every MK article now is an advert and not an article. It’s great marketing by the publisher, every day there’s a new screen shot or video, so every day there’re new articles everywhere about that because, let’s be honest, we are curious & want to see/know. Then everyone gets excited & preorders roll in.

    Not that it’s just them, only singling them out because this is the 2nd MK article today. Bloodborne has been doing this, and every big game does it leading up to it’s release. Publishers dole out little bits of info with increasing regularity the closer to release it comes, and every bit is dutifully picked up & reported on.

    I’m not really blaming sites for that, because content & clicks & all that stuff. I just think it’s going too far now, like DLC has.

          Shame, they need content man. If you have something better then give it up! Don’t be selfish! http://i.imgur.com/IDoUSzB.gif

            It wasn’t! I chose the gif with the shellfish in mind! The other picture was of a crab about to get cut in half, I thought too shellfish to put that out there on a Friday!

      I feel ya man. You’ve got to remember though, we’re always going to write about stuff that interests us on this site. And I just happen to really, really love Mortal Kombat. Which is why I’m excited for any Mortal Kombat news, that I want to share.

          He WORKS? I always thought he trolls around an office block, and everyone feels too awkward to ask what he is doing there…

        Yeah I’m not bitching about the writers, it’s the general trend from publishers I see & don’t really like. It’s been bugging me for a while. I love The Witcher, but they’re doing the same thing with screenshots & gameplay videos. Just… no. Stop it now. It’s manipulative.

          Don’t worry bud. We have /other/ content coming up that isn’t Mortal Kombat related. In fact, I can promise you that there will be over a dozen articles that aren’t about Finnish hymns!

      Quitality is news worthy, it’s something completely new they’re doing and I love it. The rest is just frosting. I for one hang onto read every article about Bloodborne and MK. But I skip the Star Citizens one for example.

        But that’s the point I’m making. Using MK as an example, today it’s quitality, tomorrow it’s a screenshot, the next day it’s a char vid, then a screenshot again, etc, etc, etc.
