Lol I missed this, this is so disingenuous

From a quick look at Sub Zero and Scorps character models their physiques don't look all that exaggerated and could probably be attained by the average dude with some dedication. It might be the least reasonable fighting game to levy that bad faith argument against

Eating right and exercising isn't really in the realm of Twitter dorks who live off of hot takes and hot pockets though

You gotta respect how they balanced out the amazing Revenant Jade with the bland-as-gently caress regular Jade. Like, goddamn that is a zero-effort design.

Mask-less hood-less Jade in the reveal stream looked a lot like Kassandra, which is no bad thing.

If anything, it calls to attention that this post-return Baraka seriously hit the gym. It's a more fun niche for him than jobber or Mileena's boy toy, that's for sure.

Haven't seen her face, but that sounds okay. Her non-revenant costume is super loving boring though. It's like they put all their effort into her revenant form then just gave up.

Baraka always looked like a dude with a hosed up halloween mask on his head with a mouth that couldn't even close, even in MK9. this is the first game where he actually looks like a hulking monster.

The funny thing about Baraka to me is that he's only really differentiated from the hundreds of other Tarkatan by his white cloth vest and the simple classification of having a name, unless there's something else. In a species of warmongers, this one guy somehow stuck out. He's like Lizardman from Soul Calibur.

it's likely Baraka in his prime a la MK2, so Baraka before he got lazy and started eating too many Steak-Ums and thus got easily slaughtered by fellow returning freak, D'Vorah (who I'm sure was brought back just for this fated interaction)

The outfit they stuck on human Jade in her bouts with Sonya on the stream does look like what Jade wears when she plans to order take-out and watch TV all weekend. It's Edenian yoga pants.

After getting cut from MKX, Baraka took some time off to do some soul searching and find himself. He eventually turned his life around and got back into shape, and now he's ready to prove that he still has it.

Must be very deflating to put all that hard work into getting a revenge bod only to find out your ex had her face melted by a mutant bee. Outworld problems.

Maybe it's nothing but in this intro dialogue vid at around 6:50 Raiden mentions "a dire threat from Chaos Realm" which makes me think Havik is coming

Makes me think of one Raiden vs. Raiden dialogue in MKX where one announces himself as the protector of Chaosrealm and the other's like, "Wow, I REALLY hosed up the timestream."

"That must weigh heavily on your soul. Let me purge it for you."
Link? Google returns nothing besides MK vs DC. Does that imply he's in the console version too? Makes sense to borrow DC characters, even if it's a weird cross promotion thing. Zach Zevi was in New Vegas so he might do the lines.

Edit: but letting him get maimed would be weird branding.

It wasn't trash like the other non-fighting Mortal Kombat games.

I replayed it with my brother a couple years ago and was reminded how awkward it was moving the story forward. It's supposed to be linear but there's a lot of backtracking. We got stuck a couple times because of how not obvious it was a new path opened up in a previous zone.

Otherwise a pretty solid beat-em-up. Finishers were neat but took up a lot of time when you waste them on trash mobs.
