Hey, so I wrote this massive article for Den of Geek where I've ranked every single Mortal Kombat character from worst to best.

Mortal Kombat: Ranking All the Characters.

Spoiler: Reiko is the worst.

May I ask what that weird Johnny Cage costume for his picture was from?

Cassie Cage: Raiden, help me summon green energy

That immediately says to me "You have your mother's." Pink energy isn't bad.

Well, he did show up as DLC in 9. There's little reason he can't show up in 10, unless there's story I've missed recently.

Sub-Zero has always been cooler than Scorpion and Subby getting killed in all of the marketing won't change that. It just makes Ed's poster boy look petty, like he can't win in a real match. :colbert:

Even the endings note those two work better together than apart, so who knows.

Recall Defenders of Earthrealm. Also the live-action one. Unless Defenders is the live action and the cartoon was named something else? I forget. 'It wouldn't be the first time', is what I'm saying.

Which really sucks, because that could have been a great reboot and made for an awesome game. :/

They might save it for some other game type.

Not gonna happen. It's a tradition for MK bossfights-indeed, MK AI in general-to be utter bull.

MK3 sucked. NO scorpion, Sub Zero looks lame, they changed the fatality blood sprites & body parts to be shittier. Mk2 was so awesome by comparison :(

This kind of thing makes you realise the bind that game designers have, and how whiny fanbases can be. No one wants anything to change. Then they get slammed for 'not innovating'. And the complaints can be so...petty.

I want this to actually be part of the plot. It's kind of awesome. Have it be the official explanation why Kano keeps coming back after different games keep suggesting that he's been killed off.

Shang Tsung must really rate Kano if he's being given cloning. Then again, he probably needs to get supplies and test subjects, and he's the main contact he has.

I'm watching a playthrough of the story.

I'm interested in how Kano managed to trap Raiden. Travelling through other realms, to boot. A new Mortal Kombat Mythology?

Wow...then right now, if you choose Black Dragon it means Kano is the only in-faction character available for you until DLC is released? And somehow Black Dragon is still more popular than Special Forces.

Obligatory "The Black Dragon Live On!" reference.

I look forward to watching various PC matches of 'Old vs New'. Assuming they don't somehow throw out the old Tanya outright.

Why would they make Cyrax a skin, when they could make him a character? Predator doesn't even have the bombs that make him, him.

I can't wait for all the nerd tears about how it doesn't make sense for the baby alien to have a hat or whatever.

There'll be more over it being allowed on Triborg.

Then again, if they followed that and disabled it, there'd be even worse whining.

Kratos is like Triple H. He can never appear scared or vulnerable.

On the face of it, it sounds reasonable. It's when you actually see it that it looks 'off', barring things like 'when shrunk, he starts yelling instead of acting scared before the boot comes down on him'.

The Year Five Annual, which was recently released, does shed a little light on Injustice 2's storyline. Apparently, New Genesis invaded and possibly conquered Apokalips shortly before the first game.

That's fairly astounding and really, really huge. Sure, Darkseid wanted the Anti-Life Equation, but that's mostly because New Genesis and Apokalips were utterly evenly matched, and neither could defeat each other. It was too wasteful to continue. So the question then becomes; How did New Genesis get the strength and will to pull that off?
