Isn't it fuckin wild how there have been pages and pages of discussion about the story of a fighting game? A Mortal Kombat fighting game?

Maybe? NRS have gone pretty all-out on including story modes since MK9, which while I wouldn't call them thematically deep, closer to convoluted moreso, they are definitely cinematic, so much so that Capcom and Namco felt they needed to follow suit to keep up in their respective fighting game franchises. They pretty much lead the way in that regard for single player fighting game content.

Liu Kang tried to keep the vampires out of Outworld and Nitara was like “lol no” It would not shock me if Liu Kang gave them their own realm only to forget to give them a food source, forcing them to invade other realms just to survive. They're stuck in a realm ripe with all sorts of natural crops and fertile soil but can't use any of it

Liu Kang, agrucultural genius, gave them the most fertile of lands but only sparkling water of which to farm with. Also, do we know which kharacter bleeds something other than red, or are kontent kreators hosed when it comes time to murder

Why does Elder God Luigi Krang simply not create one thousand Shang Tsungs to be tortured/vampire juice packs/training dummies for shaolin monks/trapped in barrels and pelted with moldy tomatos

It'll probably be Reptile, but afaik you can shift the screen to black and white and it's still hit or miss whether or not your stuff gets flagged. The dismemberment will also always be a problem no matter what Only real solution is the game itself having a streamer mode

Mortal Kombat's story both ironically and unironically rules. Blackbelt Bobman posted:Apparently Nitara is from a realm called Vaeternus.

Liu Kang tried to keep the vampires out of Outworld and Nitara was like “lol no” I love that in the previous timeline, her realm was conquered by Shao Kahn and she was the only one left but in this timeline her people just ate everything her world had to offer and is now venturing into other realms to eat them too. Turns out Shao Kahn's bloody lust for power actually staved off other threats. Pretty neat.

Ed Boon did the hot wings show (and apparently paid for the privilege) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZJaYVDfoDE He's a pretty dull interview tbh, but I did like the story of Scorpion's catchphrase

I hate MK's gameplay with all my heart and soul but the lore and characters can be really whacky and funny so it's fun to follow that element.

It's cool that he's chilled out about himself enough to sign off on it, dude used to extremely anal about his image and I guarantee that young Van Damme wouldn't have done it unless fatalities were disabled on him or something along those lines.

Doesn't look like him at all. Thats loving pathetic beyond words if Boon actually paid to be on a loving youtube video, even if it is one of the most popular gimmicks out there right now.

lmao, that looks nothing like how I recall him doing so back in the dayBumper Stickup posted:I do not play Mortal Kombat to fight other people. I play it for the buckwild lore and characters.  It's basically a ridiculous interactive TV show that pops up every few years, IDGAF how 'kompetitive' kharacters are or any of that nonsense. Just give me Johnny being a dick, and Liu Kang sighing as he tries to work out how to stop Shang Tsung loving every thing up again while some newbie jobbers show up and have a good time getting in the way and annoying each other. While SF6's World Tour can't be faulted in terms of tutorials and training, the whole time I played the story missions I was mostly bored out of my mind wishing it was as batshit ridiculous and enjoyable as the last few MKs. Blah blah strength, the big boss is an accountant, loving yawwwwwwwwwwwn.

On the other hand JCVD was always willing to have his character take a full on rear end-kicking in pretty much all of his notable films. fatalities might be a different question, but he might've gone for it. He definitely wasn't as up his own rear end about appearing untouchable as Seagal was, anyway

Hoping for a mod that gives him JCVD's actual likeness. Maybe an older skin is already in the game in gear or something? I expected nothing and was disappointed.

I dunno, I think it looks like Bloodsport era JCVD, but that's just from doing a cursory GIS and quickly watching clips on Youtube.  He just does a lot more smiling and has that Johnny Cage poo poo eating grin half the time in the game.

To me it looks like they didn't get him in the face model rig and either used a look-alike or just tried to match it. The whole facial structure is off whereas in MK11 the face models are all very accurate.
