I clicked the report button and I ain’t sorry.
A bold statement yet with no explanations. Hmmm..... I wonder why?
While I know people in the thread are reacting to it in their own way for their own reasons not endorsed by me, let’s be sure to keep it constructive here
fair enough. Apologies for the rudeness
Wasn't an underdog fight. You just don't know the match-up. It's 10-0 in David's favor. Goliath always struggled against zoners and there's no way to get in on David when he's using The Lord Almighty kameo. Goliath was outmatched from the start.
Another comment with no actual way of debunking except one (if you can even call it debunking), also with the quote mocking of "just shut up it doesn't" when I clearly did give a reason and a legit one.
Dude it's a motif you entirely fabricated in your head. This is you asking me to debunk your Bigfoot theory. You have invented this 'motif' entirely and are reaching crazy far to justify it as some kind of theme when there's nothing suggesting that other than your imagination.
Firstly, Hanzo Hasashi is featured in Smoke's Arcade ending. Smoke found him and he recruited him to the Shirai Ryu, and as confirmed by Dominic Cianciolo from NRS, all Arcade endings in MK1 are fully canon. Meaning that Hanzo will be back in MK13, the only question is if Hanzo becomes the new Sub-Zero since Bi-Han is once again Noob Saibot or if Hanzo and Kuai Liang will return to their previous roles as Scorpion and Sub-Zero respectively. Also having Scorpion not being Hanzo is actually not new, because in the MK Conquest TV show, which was was prequel to the MK 95 movie, it's reveled that Scorpion in the movie canon isn't Hanzo either, but a warrior named Takeda (an no, not Kombat Kids Takeda).
Do you even know what a "motif" is? Better yet, do you even know what "nuance" means? Or even better, do you even know how a Mortal Kombat fight in the games go mechanically"? Because judging by this response you don't seem to know, or perhaps, you try to project yourself onto me, saying I dismiss any responses when you basically exactly that, both regarding the story and Invasions. Or maybe, it's all together at once. Truly a mystery indeed.
I have to be honest with you. Nobody cares about that tv show. And we'll see if the arcade endings will be canon or not. If I were a Scorpion main I'd be very pissed that my actual character is basically non existent. I don't understand why are you defending everything about this game,. Would you be ok if Reptile was randomly Kobra for this game ?. Just a green ninja.
Yes and simply declaring that one exists to headcanon it into existence is the height of cope. This goes beyond death of the author. This borders on authorial necrophilia.
Actually MK Conquest was very popular at the time, it got very good ratings.
Dude, seriously. You only keep projecting yourself onto me so you can justify your denial of what's really going on with the story. That motif does exist, and all the other "stuff" that you mentioned like "destruction of stakes" and whatnot do not appear in MK stories at all including MK1. All of these things actually true to any other fighting game story aside from Mortal Kombat and Injustice, in fact.
Yeah, I also love Invasions and I barely go online in MK1, despite the gameplay and depth being amazing as well, not only because how good Invasions and TOT's are, but also because after playing MK11 Kombat League for two years with all of these lag switch cheaters and toxic jerks, I'm already burned out from going to online in any fighting game, including MK. Like I said in my main post, MK1, just like MKX, IJ2 and MK11, have single player content that can last for months and years, and therefore take the place of the online for those who don't wanna go online at all, rather than just take a break from online. And yes there's no such thing as a perfect game, but any major you could've find in Invasions even at launch was so tiny that it doesn't matter, especially since it did it's job properly from the start.
Here lets put to rest right now why your 'motif' is absolute invented post-hoc bullshit that doesn't even slightly hold up
"we the players basically defeated Shang"
You sir have once again proved that you don't know what you're talking about.
LMAO. Whatever, dude.(literal incoherent gobbledygook about stuff he made up like a schizophrenic to justify some bogstandard story being 'deep')
"The other times Shang appears doesn't count because....IT JUST DOESN'T OKAY?! Because it's not the Shang question! Which is a thing I invented so I can make rules regarding it because...I JUST CAN OKAY?!"
My plan to glance over the rest of this gibberish produced this gem
Unsurprisingly, you can't accept the truth and can't back up what you're saying, because you're too insecure and too proudful to admit that you're wrong. So your resort to keeping the childish tantrum going with a bunch sad insults just to pretend that you got a gotcha on me even though you know you didn't,
Except that none of you said contradicts what I've said. I didn't say there were no other RPG's before Pokemon that used similar elements, or that were not other games that used these elements after being inspired by Pokemon, including other monster catching games or IP's like Digimon and such. All I did was to show how MK1 uses these elements and how it compares to for SF6 and Tekken 8 using elements form Pokemon, which you so conveniently ignored of me mentioning as well.
Oh yes, the typical interent "potential" line.
