I know what you posted, and it wasn't the full context of the character. Why are you cherry picking just the original MK? For all intents and purposes, Bo Rai Cho was just one of many of the unnamed masters who taught Liu Kang before the first tournament. Bo then was later fleshed out. What is...

Actually...yes. The White Lotus Society is the organization that Raiden and the Great Kung Lao founded in order to train Earthrealm fighters. Liu left the Organization to represent the Shaolin in the first MK tournament. Humble...yes. Basic...in his look and personality...sure. In terms of...

That's the thing, I don't get my "jollies" for those reasons. Your seeming bias against "power dynamics" clouds your argument. Forget the term power scaling, and just think in terms of storytelling. It was said by Boon years ago that Liu Kang was like the Luke Skywalker of MK early on. That is...

This is VERY true...but...I think many people didn't realize the reality of the situation until it was too late. I think many people were thinking they were taking it seriously (this is me 100%). With an upped budget, upped presentation, I think many people were like “OK, we’re finally going to...

You for get that MK has A LOT of comics.

I find this type of thinking very lazy...and very telling. You seem to cling to the idea that FGs don't need, nor should have decent stories in them. Fine, that can be your opinion, BUT that isn't / wasn't MK. MK actually had a decent story, with actual context and reasoning for why things...

We've never talked about Kotal...and WOW...I've never heard a take like that about him. I'm gonnna have to get back to this take on Kotal later after I re-read the comic as I remember the story beats you are mentioning, but not in the light of how you are trying to portray them. But yeah, Kotal...

Read my above explanation regarding Kung Jin and Cassie. And I didn't complain about the Cage family getting to much development. My only gripe with them is the amount of focus that was put on them. But whatever, as I said before, I love all the MK characters. I remember the conversation...

Sorry for the slight rant, but yeah… Power scaling is just hindsight, looking back at what happened in a story and giving the events and feats within it some type of order. In new stories you can stand to be a bit inconsistent for the story’s sake, but still you have to be believable. In an...

Maybe...but next time you get the chance, really watch the MKX story and take note of all the times they DON'T tell you what is going on, but expect you to know because you were supposed to do the homework. No. Johnny fighting BASE Shinnok, essentially catching him off guard, but holding him...

Nah. MKX took place after MK9, sure, but the overall story was disjointed and broken up over decades, it was interwoven with canon or non-canon material (who knows), and overall just wasn't much of an MK story. To me, MKX was seemingly a second attempt at rebooting the narrative, jumping us...

it is too bad that the civil war plotline wasn't in the game. Lol! The comic was great, and I wish they had kept it going. I can imagine them wanting to do a whole new roster after MKA, but yeah, the fanbase at large would riot if they did that. Bringing in new blood is great, but you have...

I have not played KL, but I also have not seen any info on a fix for anything KL related. Was there a bug fix patch along side the Khameleon release? Regardless, it would not surprise me in the slightest if the Khameleon patch broke more stuff.

I agree with this completely, which is why I believe the OG story had a more organic feel. They took what came before and built upon it, growing the narrative organically. That is not what they do now.

That is why I say sort of hinted at. I'm in the minority about this, but in the OG MK1 comic, it was said that Shang was cursed by "his god" or "his gods" (I can't remember) to age rapidly. While there can only be speculation at this point, I believe that the "god" they were hinting at was...

Off top, the re-imagined Shang in MK1 doesn't matter, nor do any of the other re-imagined characters. They played a VERY small part in the overall narrative of MK1. The only characters who mattered in the story of the new game were the Titan versions of all the old characters. I mean, the...

They LITERALLY didn't re-imagine Titan Shang in MK1. He was LITTERALLY the villain from the previous game. And re-imagining Onaga is just continuing on with what they did in MK1 with re-imagining ALL the characters. Lol I get you are trying to troll, but no. If they are going to bring in a...

honestly, I think you are right. There has been no real progression in the story or with the characters in this NRS era. All this money WB is throwing around, and it's to the point where it doesn't feel like MK any more. It feels like there are just these hollow episodes that "air" and end...

It started with MK vs DCU. I would have preferred an MKA-esque story mode in MK1 rather than the rehash of the MK vs DCU / MK9 story mode.

but you can't call the missile AND shift to old Shang on the same hit/frame can you? Or are you shifting then calling the missile? And have you figured out any Morph combos with Shang and Sektor?
