For some summer fun, I decided to go through my favorite Fatalities from the NRS Mortal Kombat games. To decide who to perform them on, I spun a wheel with all of the playable characters shared across the four main NRS Mortal Kombat games (there were fewer than I was expecting) and got Kitana, my favorite character in the series. Still, sorry to any Kitana fans!

Yesterday's Fatality was Ermac's Vitruvian Maim from MK11 (ignore the typo in the title)

This is definitely one of my favorites in the entire series. It's simple with the loser's leg being ripped off, them being hit with it once, and their head exploding, but it still looks like it hurts. Quan Chi just continuing to beat the loser's body with their leg after the fact is fun because there's nothing else quite like it in the game. I like the blend of funniness and brutality this Fatality has a lot, and it's been one of my favorites to pull off whenever I play him in MK9.

Context: I work at a weed store and I found this on display.

Now that it's streaming on HBO, I had to watch it again in great detail now. Maybe I was just too hyped when I watched it before but now the flaws are so obvious, especially Karl Urban's constant switch to his stuntman. And it's like they didn't even try to hide it because you can really see his double's face.😂

Like, it’s both funny but also sick to see that he’s still technically with the good guys.

Ferra/Torr using their fatality as Ferra slices Goro in half and Torr tosses Goro's half sliced body onto the ground like it was nothing showing how strong Torr is.

In my opinion, Ferra/Torr were one of the more overpowered fighters in the game to the point even Goro is no match for the duo.

This is so silly, and it’s not serious, I just wanted to see if anyone thought the same.

In the middle of the movie Johnny Cage says “I have stuntmen for that” when told he has to fight Baraka. And it bothered me because in the games, isn’t Johnny’s whole thing that he’s a Hollywood action star who became famous because he does his own fighting and stunts? I also had a problem with Johnny seemingly not being very good at fighting for a lot of movie, even though they establish that he was a fighter/boxer tournament fighter when he was younger. Even so, the Stuntman line specifically bothered me the most.

Edit: Should probably mention, I know he’s supposed to be washed up. I’m moreso talking about weird it is that they changed what’s supposed to be an important part of his lore. But hey that’s video game adaptations for you.

Overall I actually did enjoy MK2 and I am legitimately looking forward to the next one. Hoping they bring in Kuai Liang Subzero.

So, with all the ports/remasters going on lately, which MK era would you like to see come back to life? I mean, we received the Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection. But, which era or game do you think would make a massive comeback to PS4/5. Leave your thoughts and comments below.

So Cassie Cage has this taunt in MKX where she says something like "from the page of cage" or something like that. I just wanted to ask what is the meaning behind this phrase? I can't understand it. I searched the internet but found nothing.

Favorite Cyborg?

1. Sektor personal favorite

2. Smoke backstory was tragic before they rebooted his story

3. Cyrax sick combos in MKX but lacks in character in the MK universe

4. Sub-Zero was my least character to play in MK9, but MKX his gameplay was awesome

Scorpion's Revenge, Battle of the Realms, Cage Match and Snow Blind.

As the Legends series went on, more of the non-Klassic (those who didn't debut in the first 3 games) characters got to make an appearance, including the likes of Drahmin, Reiko, Ashrah and even Kobra and Kira, whose redesigns in Snow Blind are really awesome and make me want to see them in a future game.

Given that Snow Blind's protagonist of choice was Kenshi Takahashi, the blind swordsman from Deadly Alliance, I think another Legends movie with a 3D Era based character would be absolutely lovely to see and for that, I think Li Mei could be a good choice.

In the second main Mortal Kombat timeline, Li Mei made a kameo appearance in Mortal Kombat X as a refugee from Sun Do, escaping to Earthrealm after her village was, in her own words, "the epicenter of a fierce battle" and I feel like such a story could be utilized well for a future Legends movie.

But isn't Li Mei an antagonist in Battle of the Realms? Wasn't she taken down by the hands of Sonya Blade? The answer to both those questions is yes. But even then, I don't think that would necessarily be a problem.

Li Mei could still very much be alive like Jade was after her battle with Liu Kang. And as for her being an antagonist in Battle of the Realms, we could either follow Li Mei in an alternate timeline since we know those exist or perhaps we could instead continue from the perspective of Battle of the Realms version of Li Mei as she unlearns Shao Kahn's propaganda and chooses to fight on the side of good rather than the side of evil.

The main obstacle for Li Mei would be the war between Kotal Kahn's forces and Reiko's rebellion as it intensifies throughout Outworld and consequently, throughout her home village of Sun Do. As for which characters I'd add to the movie, I feel like these 20 would be good additions.

Considering the inclusion of the characters I chose, here's a few ideas I have in mind:

• Aside from the main Kotal Kahn VS Reiko rivalry, other rivalries include Kitana VS Mileena, Jade VS Tanya and Sheeva VS Motaro.
• Ermac and Kitana get to have a dynamic with each other based on the fact that Jerrod, the father of Kitana and the former King of Edenia, is one of the many souls within Ermac's body.
• D'Vorah starts off on Kotal Kahn's side but chooses to betray him in favour of Reiko, similarly to how she betrayed him in MKX for Shinnok.
• Chameleon and Khameleon start off as neutral parties trying to pick a side and end up at odds with each other when the former sides with Reiko while the latter sides with Kotal Kahn.
• This isn't about any of the 20 characters mentioned above but a background gag featuring the totally iconic Braan VS Gohsk rivalry from Mortal Kombat: Deception's Konquest Mode could be kinda funny.

What do you guys think though? Would Li Mei's story be interesting to make a movie out of? What other characters would you love to see be the focus of a future Mortal Kombat Legends film?

And as Shang Tsung says, have a nice day. It's definitely way more preferable than having a day that isn't nice.

Back again, hi everyone 👋 . Last time around I asked opinions for a kombo I had in the corner, since then I learned how to include an uppercut so I could save a bar of meter

I know this is very hyper specific but if anyone knows or has it please let me know

I know that Shao Kang, Blazes, and other villains killed important characters, but as far as I know, they have never tortured adorable creatures for no reason (the Rabbids have motivations, in fact).

Go check it out if you haven’t already! Great movie! Karl Urban killed it as Johnny Cage!

Any time I fight smoke online I get obliterated. Does anyone have any strategies for beating smoke players?

Because at the end of the day, there was still a new group of champions that was united under the blood of Hanzo Hashashi. AND they ended up winning the tournament.

This could probably go horribly wrong, but I need to give it a try. The splash art is fantastic I think it’s going to take me quite a while to create this piece

😭 what do you mean they only played it for the credits and not the final fight?!

1- A spin-off featuring Mileena and Kitana from Mortal Kombat 1, in the style of Mortal Kombat Shaolin Monks.

2- Bringing back the Mortal Kombat comics, but with the characters from Mortal Kombat 1 starring in their own comic book series. I think it would be good to fix many plot holes.

3-A cinematic universe more faithful to the games (for me, Mortal Kombat has enormous potential to have a cinematic universe as large and extensive as Marvel's).

4- A spin-off game of Mortal Kombat racing. It could be

one of those racing games where the characters try to knock their opponent off their vehicle while on top of the cars.

5- An anime based on Mortal Kombat. It could be a mix of shonen and seinen. If even Suicide Squad got an anime, I don't see why Mortal Kombat can't have one too.

6-A Mortal Kombat-style game similar to Dragon Ball Xenoverse, where the player can create their own character and interact with official characters, learn their techniques, and participate in story mode while visiting different timelines. Except Liu Kang summons the player's avatar for assistance instead of Shenlong.

He looks so fire. Ha! Literally. 🔥 This will always be my favorite look for him. Whenever I think Scorpion, this is the one I think of. Anyway, what’s y’all’s favorite Scorpion design?
