That is absolutely fair, enjoy your accomplishments you worked so hard for, it's just that forums are a perfect environment for something like this, so, it's a bit strange, that some people find it... er, strange. I can talk both story and gameplay, i assure you.
I don’t find it strange, just dorky in a good way, as in we are all lucky enough to still play and talk about video games
She beat Shang Tsung, a guy who, up til that point, had only ever been bested by Liu Kang and Kung Lao.
Yes they did, Lao used his injuries as an opportunity to fake his own death, Kahn whooped his ass so bad to the point that he retired, the man benched himself after that ass whooping.
The Great Kung Lao,too. It's not like Shang Tsung tried to kill her lol
He was working on a clone to replace her. I doubt he cared much for her life when she was attacking him.
Nah
Nah, it's actually happened. Characters are caught off balance and such, which would affect things. Whether you like that or not is up to personal preference.
It's not though, stuff like this does happen and Kitana is an example.
Absoltuely. Dude, just beacuse you're an adult with responsibilities doesn't mean you have to give up your hobbies. Like I've mentioned, I'm middle aged and still loving gaming. My fiancee enjoys games too, and MK, and fully supports the hobby. My father's a senior and rocking Halo and Skyrim (and soon _Gears of War). Enjoy and do what you like, so long as you're not neglecting real responsibilities.
That was probably even worse. Kotal sucks. The difference is people don't go on defending it like "but Kotal is an ancient warrior class dude capable of beating the whole roster at any given time". Almost everyone agrees Kotal beating Shao Khan is utterly absurd so there's nothing to debate, and in the rematch Shao Khan gave him the Bane treatment, and in the rubber match he literally decapitated him. So there isn't much to argue there. Everyone knows it was dumb and NRS rectified it in true MK fashion. Pretty much like everyone agrees Stryker beating Ermac/Mileena/Kintaro 3x in a row is absurdly absurd by uber absurd standards. Not much to debate there either. Etc.
Man don't even get me started on that shit. At least Shao Kahn destroyed his ass twice during story mode.
Stryker being able to land a blow on Mileena is so far from the truth it's like the flat earth of NRS.
Kotal Kahn looked so bad ass when they were first dropping MKX trailers. Man. What happened?
You heard it here, folks: Earthrealms chosen defenders cannot defend Earthrealm.
Clearly Raiden was high when he chose a powerless cop to defend Earthrealm.
Powerless? Ha!Clearly Raiden was high when he chose a powerless cop to defend Earthrealm.
OUTWORLD!OUTWORLD!OUTWORLD!
Well, here's a point to consider: In Chapter 2 Shao did beat and was going to smash Kotal, but then Liu and Raiden stepped in and fought Shao. Kotal and Shao were split after that for a bit.
He is, but remember the character himself is centered around being very flawed and very "human." I think Kotal is one of the best new characters because of these flaws.
And grenades.
Even early in the story it had everyone like "oh wow this game is gonna be that dude". Even his voice acoti was GOAT. Then by the time you're playing it you're like "wait what is happening", and by MK11 you're like "wow this guy is trash" LOL. I still think he's a good concept and great design, by he definitely needs a story buff if he arrives at some point for MK12.
I'm not about to replay/rewatch MK11 story right now, but to be very clear here, where in the scene does it say that's why kitana beat him? Because to my memory(and i could be wrong), you're just assuming it was "bad day". And that's fine, but it sure as hell would've been a lot better to actually, you know, build it up in any way, shape, or form, and pay it off as if they had.
Agreed. Kotal losing to Kung Jin doesn’t bother me terribly because Jin is related to Lao, and every Shaolin is a badass. On paper, Jin should be the best new gen fighter imo. Then he gets frozen by Sub-Zero and can’t break out of the ice ball in a later cutscene. I’m a huge Sub fan but he really just essentially one hit the emperor of outworld, and the Lin Kuei chased off his army if I remember right, pathetic lol. He needed SOME real Ws, Tanya and Kollector ain’t gonna cut it.
Kintaro burned Kabal almost to death in an instant and Stryker was like, "I'll take it from here". Stryker is actually so OP that NRS couldn't risk bringing him back and having him derail the stories.
I'm still baffled by this, Shang Tsung trading guns on black market
You make a good point lmao.
Mk 9 explained Johnny's power then mkx happened. Turns out his ending was true. Especially if you look and see that Johnny's ancestors worked for/ with raiden in some capacity. It made hella sense to me as to why Raiden would even bother with him. I loveed Johnny's character arc and all. It was good. He's not regular by any means of the imagination. I do think they failed that momentum in mk11 when he didn't have an outburst of energy when they had the chance to show it off in younger johnny.
