CaligulaKangaroo posted:Nah... Roman Reigns is the best choice for MKX. I haven't played Immortals, but that Centurion costume looked really strong. Mortal Kombat had this bland hero character, Liu Kang, who for years constantly won all the time despite being surrounded by far more interesting fighters. Then when they finally decided to take him out of the top spot, fans were all into them making Scorpion, the popular guy with the cool catchphrase, the main hero. Then instead, they shoved Shujinko down our throats and had him beat the big, unstoppable end boss, causing Scorpion to fall down the card. Even though Shujinko is totally lame and people like Scorpion more. What I'm saying is that Shujinko is Roman Reigns.

Real talk: It's probably going to be the faction kill. I kinda hope it's hara-karis all over again, though.

Mortalities. Your character whispers to your opponent about the futility of life and the relative indifference the universe will remember them with, despite their level of excellence, their long lives, their multiple resurrections, their deityhood. The match ends. Their character is staring out at stars, countless, endless stars, all ignorant of their life's achievements, of their struggles, their joys and woes. The event center clears out, the would-be champions go home, the hosts pack up all the machines and fighting sticks and televising equipment. Eventually they unplug the machine. The game does not save. The match is forgotten. That person, that moment in time is gone forever, and no one looks for it ever again. No one replicates it, no one cares. It was a drop of water in a sea that yawned with endlessness, as are we all. Which makes it pretty great for totally dissing n00bs. Lol, who's the megafaggot now!?

Friends Are Evil posted:Real talk: It's probably going to be the faction kill. Probably, but I would really love for Babalities or Friendships to come back. Or some kind of super-goofy thing where your character goes to do a finisher, and it becomes some ridiculous gag instead. Like Scorpion goes to rip off his mask and burn his opponent, but instead of revealing a skull under his mask, it's just another mask, and then he just... like... chases off his opponent by hitting them with the mask. Just go nuts with it.

Banality: the winner fucks up the loser with the loser's own fatality. Reality: it turns out MK is just a dream the winner had, and now they must return to their boring life.

Musicality - The winner slips into sweet freeform jazz. But in all seriousness, I really want to see some HD, current gen Friendships. Sure, the best one is just Johnny Cage's non-fatal victory pose, but that leaves room for him to have a second one.

I can only imagine Kidd Thunder came into being because Raiden is Mortal Kombat's version of Zeus and he only uses his god powers to bed mortal women because he sure isn't using them to save Earthrealm. When they ask for chat questions on tomorrow's Kombat Kast, we need goons asking who Kidd Thunder's mother is.

Instead of the winner performing a thing while the opponent is just a dazed background character, the opponent gets in on it and they're all happy and they skip off together holding hands.

That's only one of them. Each Friendship would be unique, like Cassie would share her earbuds with the loser and they'd each listen to one with their heads together or Sub-Zero would make snowcones for he and his new friend to share or Quan Chi would give the other guy a ride on his Dreadsteed.

In a rare show of humility Johnny Cage apologizes to Sonya for messing up their marriage, Sonya forgives him, they share a hug and agree to bury the hatchet, the disembodied ghost of Shao Kahn groans and rises from Hell just to say "Friendship? Really?"

I watched the Iron Man match between Scorpion and Ash live. It was awesome.

To be fair, mind control/really hosed up parenting was involved throughout most of that. Kung Lao/Liu Kang, Liu Kang/Raiden, or Sonya/Jax were always the really strange ones.

Jerkface posted:Yea, Liu Kang & Kung Lao are basically brothers. Sonya & Jax. Any of the good guy characters beating each other up. Kitana vs Mileena. Sindel vs Kitana. Yeah but come on. It's not like Sindel lovingly nurtured Kitana through infancy and childhood, Sindel is the murderous bride of the former emperor of Outworld. Same with Mileena and Kitana, there's clearly no love lost there. They weren't sharing bunk beds and staying up late talking about boys they liked. They fuckin' hate each other. And poo poo, I didn't even realize that Liu Kang and Kung Lao were related. But Johnny Cage is likeable as heck, and Cassie seems to take after her dad in that regard, so the thought of Cassie ripping her dad's jaw off and taking a selfie with his dying corpse creeps me out way more. I kind of see the Jax/Sonya thing but I guess it gets a pass from me because they're not family. Lots of the Kast are friends or colleagues or partners, but Mortal Kombat is Mortal Kombat. I don't think we've ever seen Earthrealm heroes brutally dismember and humiliate fellow family members in this series before. Rookersh posted:To be fair, mind control/really hosed up parenting was involved throughout most of that. Liu Kang/Raiden is not strange to me at all. Raiden might as well have tried to kill Liu himself with all the loving up he's done, and it sounds like Liu Kang trying to kill Raiden will actually be cannon in this MK, as it probably should have been long ago with all his bumbling.

Like someone punches Jax so hard he wakes up and he's a desk jockey at the police office and he fell asleep eating a donut. I have never really spent much time with a Mortal Kombat game outside of playing it in arcades a few times and getting an Injustice Steam key on a shady third-party site if that counts. I think depending on how the DLC characters shake out I might sink for MKX. (My #1 wish is for playable Art Lean)
