Atlantis for best map

Didn't Rain also make the mistake of giving Shao Kahn bad news in Annihilation, causing him to be hammered into a conveniently placed fire pit?

He tried copying Goro's trick if ripping off Jax's arms after Jax had gotten his cyber arms.
It went about as well as a Hollywood sequel that is just the first movie again.

All joking aside, I do not think that Liu Kang will be a secret villain in that he would be resetting every time things go terribly.

But I do think that he will be tempted to once things really start to go to poo poo. And I think there will be a story mode fight or two where someone (Raiden, for maximum irony) will need to try to stop him from turning out the lights and convince him give the world a fighting chance to exist.

I think the eventual plot outcome is going to be 'there shouldn't be any all powerful gods controlling the fate of men at all. Everything should be decided by mortals
.. through MORTAL KOMBAT'

I'm looking forward to MK1 but it's gonna be hard not to be disappointed by the fact that in this new game Shang Tsung won't be portrayed by Cary Hiroyuki Tagawa who absolutely killed it when reprising the role for MK11.

MK9. Sonya explains to Johnny that for years they were trying to track down the Black Dragon and Kano was their informant. Despite losing a crazy amount of soldiers to ambushes, it took a while to realize that Kano was playing them and was actually the group's leader.

same but NRS proved they were incapable of animating a gunslinger or have his best moves be anything other than a flop dropkick or "using the butt of the gun"

Geras and Torr (assuming he is a Kameo as people have said) are cool picks for returning X/11 people.

our every move is the new tradition
I'm waiting to see the actual story of MK1 before I decide how much of a screw-up Liu Kang is now. It does at least look like he voluntarily put Geras in charge of the Hourglass. Liu Kang may not have the ability to casually fix all his problems with time travel, Barry Allen style.

The leaked story mode footage from SDCC has Liu Kang mention that Shao's coup against Outworld is the result of Shang Tsung's manipulation, which fits with the early theory that a lot of what's going wrong is down to Shang Tsung attacking the New Era from the outside.

I'd also note that for all his reputation as a complete gently caress-up, the only reason why Raiden didn't hit 100% victory conditions in MKX was Scorpion going on a revenge bender.

An image of the back of the Brazilian box art for MK1 has been released. The interesting thing is how there's a single-player mode called Invasion. "Travel through the realms of Mortal Kombat facing invasions of each season in an all new single player experience."

Hopefully we get some kind of explanation on Thursday's Kombat Kast.

The success of World Tour would certainly make now the time to bring back Konquest in some form or another.

For all my apathy to kameos as a game mechanic (no shade to those who like assist fighters, just not my thing) I’m super happy for that Reptile redesign and I’m sure I’ll end up picking this up for a bit regardless.

ketchup and mustard got some video capture time w/ the game at evo. there's a lot of cool things about this video but the coolest has to be the clicking noise playing throughout. this is an option in the game where it'll play a clicking noise faster or slower depending on how close or far you are from your opponent. this is for visually impaired gamers who need an audio cue to help with footsies

idk about you but i think that's really sick
