Ed Boon makes Mortal Kombat. Mortal Kombat's animators keep developing PTSD from all the gore they have to look at when creating fatalities. Mortal Kombat's attack animations also suck total rear end.

I did read a Junji Ito comic once. Everyone's body turns to spaghetti and ketchup, and keeps spaghetti ketchuping for dozens of pages, before someone does something really gross. Then repeat, until rent is due or whatever. Barf yawn.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Mortal Kombat is known for its ultraviolence and finishing moves. Someone got it in their heads that people who work on these games need to be exposed to actual, real-life gore and death so they could make the ultraviolence "better." So people are spending hours a day looking at horrific poo poo and being unable to sleep all so people can look at video game characters killing each other and think "Hah, awesome!"

It's really loving dumb and horrible and obviously not worth it.

TBF it’s a goofy fighting game, it makes sense for attacks to look distinct and easily identifiable even if they look pretty dumb taken on their own.

The core problem is that classic Street Fighter style crouching is not really realistic in a martial art in the first place. A mo-cap based fighting game like Mortal Kombat will always have a hard time with crouching attacks because striking from that position is stupid in the first place.

Even Street Fighter 6 has transitioned to characters leaning down or squatting rather than going to a full crouching position.

I like the stiff animations, they're faithful to the original digitized style. They're free of the constraints of the time but I like that they keep that same feel and spirit alive.

MKX also has Predator in it. One of the othere characters is a cowboy, who has a move where they shoot the other character with a bullet that has their name on it. When he uses it on Predator, the bullet reads "ugly mofo".

What is up with the canned fish?!
Where's this coming from?
My son just made me buy him sardines and anchovies.
We thought it was part of his Project Zomboid IRL thing but I don't know now. We're all just so glad he hasn't been radicalized by the far right we're like sure, son, how's the canned fish taste test going?

LOL that's great. Canned fish is both healthy (in reasonable amounts) and pretty cheap, so it's hard to imagine something more innocuous for the kids to get into.

It's worth mentioning that Joker and Rambo and Terminator and Robocop and the like are bonus characters. They're not included in the storylines of the games, they're just there so you can have stupid fun with them in PvP. They're usually platform exclusive, too (at least they used to be)

The only platform-exclusive was Kratos in MK9. Everyone else has been available across all platforms.
