She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


I've never been a huge Reptile fan and he looks hideous to me, but somewhat less hideous than his 3D era and MKX designs. So that's progress!

I'm always more fond of when monster characters are more animal than human. It's like the werewolf/wolfman difference in my head.

The latest MK trailer is called "The Banished."
They missed a trick as they could have called it "The Outkasts."

Is he just trying to look cool for the big adventure?

I thought he was wearing that in Armageddon's intro, but that's Stryker's.

Well one, his alt is probably gonna be his 3D era appearance. And two, he's absolutely gonna look more hosed up in a fight.

Honestly they could just flesh out the MK11 Krypt, add some characters to interact with, drop some of the stupid unlocks, and be fine. But I imagine that MK1 was too far along in development to really be influenced by SF6 much.

Tekken 8 will probably be the first true post-SF6 FG.

Besides, NRS's strength in single player is story mode

Is it just me, or are the characters reactions to all the horrific fatalities done on them feel very understated? Like they yell in pain but they aren't screaming in agony like they did in the PS2 games

It is canonical that shattering someone's spine and then stabbing them five times in the eye are just things family members do to show they care about one another.

I don’t remember who exactly, I think maybe Havik’s, explicitly shows the opponent’s entire skull shattering into hundreds if not thousands of tiny pieces. You don’t walk or really exist after any MK super but that one feels particularly egregious.

Reptile looks dope.

Ashrah needs the hat. Sorry, the only thing I remember about her is the hat, so it doesn't matter if you're trying to make her a real character or something she's gotta wear the hat.

At some point they got a physician to review the MK11 fatal blows and he determined that only about 3-4 would actually be survivable.

MK3 established that everyone in the Mortal Kombat universe has spare bones in 'em. Multiple rib cages, skulls, and as many femurs as there are stars in the sky.

In the MK universe, everyone has Wolverine levels of regeneration and the fatalities are one of the few ways to get people to stay dead, and even then those may not be fullproof.

MK world physics go like this :

papercut? Your arm will fall off but you’ll be fine in a day or two (if you’re important)

Stabbed through the eyes,two grenades in the eyesockets and then dragged into a hellpit to be eaten by a scaleyboy? Keep on fighting the match isn’t over.

It's kinda funny how Injustice had the whole subplot with some wonder drug to explain how regular humans could fistfight the likes of Superman without being instantly annihilated. Meanwhile Mortal Kombat is just out here going "yeah that's just how humans roll don't worry about it".

It would be really neat if one day a Mortal Kombat game had characters look increasingly hosed up as the fight progresses. Costumes being damaged/ripped, armor dented and broken, bruises and cuts and gaping wounds etc. so the characters look like they've taken a beating at the end of each round. Would be a huge undertaking and take so much work to pull off, especially if it affected stages as well with blood splatters everywhere but maybe with the way MK is it would inevitably become an excessive gorefest and complete overkill if they went that route.

I think the Fight Night games had something like that, though? I vaguely recall playing Fight Night 3 and having to tend to cuts and swelling between rounds.

Last one to do it was 9 and it focused on ripping clothes to expose cleavage or organs hanging out of the men.

Havik's bio has been released. Instead of being the top guy of Chaosrealm, he's instead a lowly citizen of Seido (Orderrealm) with no rights who starts a revolution due to how oppressive the realm is. He wants the whole world to burn down in chaos.

I'm fuzzy on Havik's time period on the franchise. Is ChaosRealm another whatever Outworld is or is it like the NetherWorld which is Hell sort of, maybe?
