First let me say that, in general, I like the new MK. It has a darker, yet more humorous feel to it. (If that makes any sense.) I played only against other people (not the comp.) My impression was that MK2 is a faster game than 1, although that may be due to my inexperience. On the other hand, my friend thought it was slower, choppier and more SFII like. Raiden used to be my favorite character. Not any more. His rendering lacks detail. He looks slightly to big, and a little to cartoonish. I do however like his new throw, and the pillow sound that his dive makes when it connects. I was unable to get Raiden's shocking grasp to work. (Its hold HP and release, right? If not, don't flame too hard...) I really like Mileena (or however you spell it.) I got all of her special moves to work. I loved the fan throw. When it connects, its like a circular saw cutting into the abdomen of the victim. The fan 'lift' was great! When its successful, the opponent is lifted into the air paralyzed, and floats slowly backwards, ripe for an uppercut. (Or maybe a fan throw, didnt try it tho.) I didnt get alot of use from the fan swipe, but when you get it, its nice. Her flying punch looks just like Sonya's. The first cheesines I witnessed was this guy who used to play SZ alot on the old machine. He used repetitive floor freezes against the rest of us who were trying to acclimate ourselves to new characters. What a tough guy. Another cool thing about Mileena is that her fan throw wins out over SZ's freeze ball if they both hit. By the time the fan is done cutting, it was too late for him to get to me!
