Mortal Kombat Thread - GET OVER HERE!!!

[Rick The Stick]

Yeah, honestly. Fighting games (especiallly ones with swords like Soul Calibur) in general have an element of attacks never being crippling blows and as you never see the damage you can accept that. It comes from action movies/martial arts movies, which inspired the series, where an attack only is a problem when it needs to be, so you only see the details if they need you to know this person is fucked.

Despite the tons of blood being spurted in the series, nothing ever seems like a serious injury, primarily because the copious blood gives it a cartoony feel. But going beyond that into seeing all the internal damage breaks that disconnect I have.

Incredibly autistic on my part but im sure it makes some sense

100% with you. X-rays and fatal blows also cheapened fatalities to an extent. Some of these xray and fatal blows are so brutal that the fatalities have to be just straight up gore porn in their visuals which leaves very little room for creativity. I can't count how many fatalities between X and 11 had some variation of "head gets shoved into stomach, outer abdomen is ripped off exposing head" or "eyes pop out of Skull and fly towards camera" or "face gets ripped/cut off revealing half a Skull and brain plopping out" type shit.

I feel like the change in gane setting and tone was a retarded move on WB's part to appeal to a wider fanbase. The game didn’t go far enough. We all know Shang Tsung is not a formittable boss.

I miss Jade, Motaro, Kintaro, and Sheva.

Bring on the one being or put your dick back in your pants, Boon.

I miss pre-11 Jade. I know I’ve complained about this before but reducing her to Kotal’s bitch was such a disgusting massacre of her character.

I noticed they’re both mentioned in some dialogues, and I swear to Christ if Boon has the nerve to force them together again whenever they show up next I’m going to throw something.

i'm a big fan about how they can't make up their minds if Sindel is a bitch or a YAS QWEEEEN
MK has been dead for a while now. 9 was the only good modern game.

I didn't like Kotal from the start, him and Jade being a thing was obviously forced, for whatever reason. He was neat in 10 for being a new character, but that's where it ended, didn't really like anything about him.

Kotal had some neat moves but he himself was boring. I think I once heard they paired him up with Jade to give her more character, which is bullshit if true. They neutered her friendship with Kitana to have her thirst over some new guy no one likes. If they wanted to give her a lover that badly, it should've at least made some kind of sense.

I like that they tried to redeem Sindel in this one since she was insufferable as a traitorous cunt, but the "Who's your queen" line in her one fatality is just cringe. Other than that, she honestly wasn't too girlbossy to the point that it bothered me.

he got his ass handed to him by the faggot kombat kid
dude is a massive goddamn jobber and i loved it when shao khan threw his head on to the harbor in Aftermath

For real, I agree. First saw him in cutscenes, I do not really liked his character that much, even in MK11. Nigger got jobbed so hard, it is unreal and funny at the same time.
First got his ass slapped by Faggot Kids; second was when he got his back broke by Retard Kahn; and funniest last shit about Jobber Kahn is when he got decapitated by Shao Kahn. Sheer fucking hilarity.

And even in MK1, Shao Kahn was still a dumb-brained brute force; whilst his faggot bitch Reiko was jobbed much harder than some certain Kombatants in SM.

It was so random, him and Jade. It wasn't even alluded to in the MKX comics.

Just came the fuck out of nowhere. And it took Jade and made her into a nursemaid.

I think conceptually, Kotal was actually pretty cool. He could have been a great character but they fucked him by making him a jobber, then crippling him in his second game.

If anything he got some decent fatalities in 11.

Kotal getting bodied by the Burger King Kids Club ruined his entire momentum. Oh, he was the new Kahn? Well fuck you, here's him getting sacked by fucking Kung Jin of all people.

And I like Kung Jin but fucking hell, that was so lame.

If anything, watching the normie fans lose their shit over X, 11, and Aftermath because "Kotal got snubbed" was mildly amusing,

Imagine paying real money for skins in Mortal Kombat

lol, lmao! cannot be me!
Also, the whole gimmick of movie and cameo fighters is old and done at this point. What made it special in MK9 was that there was only one of them(2 if you played on PS3) and they both fit the MK universe like a glove. Why the fuck would a Xenomorph be in the game, what does it add? If I wanted an autistic mashup of my favorite characters fighting each other, there is already a much better game with more characters. It's called Mugen

I'm especially underwhelmed that they're doing Omniman and Homelander for MK12's DLC. While they're both fun characters in their own universes they still are boiled down to being EVIL SUPERMAN.

MK11 having Rambo vs. Terminator vs. Robocop was fun for the novelty of being the ultimate 80s crossover. This game's cameos by comparison just feels like halfassed marketing for Amazon Studios.

Players want to play as a Xenomorph while players play as a Predator, and even then it's WB Games trying to be desperate by adding characters, which goes double with other video games that try to turn into crossover games. In this day and age, crossovers is one of the niche things that's considered, in a business and marketing perspective, serious business

At this point, this whole schtick is so overdone. Call of Duty is doing this too
I feel like the magic of crossovers is now gone, corpos are adding it into every game now it looks like because they just found out that it prints them free money from memberberries and encourages new consumers into consooming the product.
I think the last game where there was genuine hype over all these crossover characters was Smash Ultimate, now I just die of cringe bit by bit whenever I see yet another franchise crossover in any game

I can give Mortal Kombat a pass because they do tend to put love into their crossovers. Most likely I will buy MK12 when it's like $20 or less in a couple years and yeah I think The Joker was such a stupidly fun character to have in Mortal Kombat that I think he should just be in the main roster. Earlier in this thread there's complaints about the Fatalities being bland in the newest games, well Joker's "Friendship" Fatality was one of the few modern ones that stuck out to me as being memorable.

I think the worst offender was the most recent Tekken having the Governor from The Walking Dead being in the game because uhh reasons?

Cool it with the xenophobic remarks. Xenomorphs are kino. I am absolutely not biased.

Now Yautjas (Predators)? Fuck them, they're the niggers of the alien race. They even have dreads & shit.

Now what about the other aliens such as the Vulcans, the Goa'ulds, Marvin the Martian, Dr. Zoidberg, ALF or Roger Smith?

 

[Xenomorphs Are Cute]

>Vulcans are cool & likeable.

>Goa'ulds exist to make Space Unagi out of them. Fuck them symbiotic bastards (I just hate squiggly fucks).

>Marvin the Martian is cool, & Queen Tyr'ahnee is the best WB animated girl of all time.

>Who can dislike Zoidberg?

>I'm too young to know ALF.

>Roger was great once, but like every Seth McFarlane animated sitcom, I have no faith in him being good anymore, alongside American Dad in general.

Most importantly, they're all made to be eaten & bred by XenoAryans.

Edit: Seth McFarlane, not that kikenigger Seth Rogen.

 

[Xenomorphs Are Cute]

Seth MacFarlane, not Seth Rogen you retard. I know Seth is a common name for most Gen-Xers and/or millennials, but they are very different people. Rogen is a shitty dude weed lmao jew guy

Fucking autocorrect... my bad. It turns any Seth into Seth Rogen.

Kojima is obsessed with Norman Reedus so I assume they just wanted their own slice of the pie too.
