Hara-kiri: The loser commits suicide to escape a gory end.Ĭaged: The Cages use movie trickery to pull off gimmicky finishers, such as swapping the opponent out for an obvious dummy/film actor, or performing a showy beatdown for the crowd. Characters include Shang Tsung, Geras and Kronika. Characters include Liu Kang, Scorpion, Shang Tsung, Nightwolf and Kotal Kahn.įriendship: The victor strikes up a friendship with the loser.īabality: The opponent is transformed into a baby.

Heroic Brutality: The character incapacitates the opponent non-lethally. Sonya cannot seriously harm Cassie, Johnny, Jax or Jacqui), but I'm sure that would prove controversial, so maybe not.įatality: General purpose lethal finisher.īrutality: Same as the MKX and 11 version. This also allows for a wider variety of body types than we've seen in recent years.Ĭharacters may be incapable of killing or brutalising their friends and family (e.g. And to that one guy who basically said "You know what you're signing up for with MK" in the comments on the MK11 video, go fuck yourself, you worthless waste of semen. ![]() It's just gross and forcing the artists to look up real gore is still fucked up. Johnny Cage and Liu Kang may entirely lack fatal finishers, opting for Heroic Brutalities instead.įinishers in general are a lot more simple and less detailed with regards to the innards. The finisher types are dictated by the character's personality, particularly with regards to the character's willingness to kill. The length and the level of violence depends on the character's personality Kano is sadistically brutal, while Sonya is efficient and professional. For instance, Erron Black may simply have three Fatalities, while Kotal Kahn may have two Fatalities and an Animality. To help mitigate these issues a little, I propose a few alterations to how finishers are designed and assigned:Ī wide range of finisher types are available, with each character receiving a set number of finishers that can be of any type. Finishers in MK often fall into this trap, with characters like Scorpion getting the better ones, while characters with less unique abilities tend to get generic crap, like Ferra/Torr.Īnother issue is that some finishers seem far too violent for certain characters, such as Johnny Cage's MK11 ones, full of personality, though they may be. Variations could return, but more for the sake of depicting characters at different points in their story, like Zombie Liu Kang having his chains or corrupted fighters having new effects and a more aggressive playstyle.Ī problem often faced by games is when an idea is proposed that will apply to the full cast - such as super moves, finishers, alternate costume themes - but the well of ideas evidently begins to run dry towards the end. Good for you, it doesn't change how I feel about it. While I personally would prefer the series give 3D another go since those are the kinds of fighters I tend to prefer, I'm fine with it staying 2D, as long as it's fun to play. With MK4 being added, more antagonistic lines are given to Scorpion, with more apologetic ones coming with the Deadly Alliance expansion. For example, Scorpion and Kuai Liang initially have intros relating to their MK2-3 dynamic foes who become allies. As the story is expanded, more intros are added as character relationships expand. These wopuld be divided into basic relationship types like: friendly, hostile, respectful, etc. Instead, a handful of generic lines would be used for non-specific pairs. ![]() Naturally, with a roster this large, with unique voices for most (if not all) of them, unique intros for every pair of characters, even if just one each, would not be feasible. If you look at it from the perspective of giving every base roster MKX variation to a different character, it feels a lot more feasible. Monster: Onaga - Armageddon Blaze - Moloch - Motaro - Ferra/Torr House of Argus: Taven - Daegon - Rain - Blaze Royal Family: Kitana - Mileena - Sindel - Jerrodīrotherhood Warrior: Quan Chi - Noob Saibotīrotherhood Assassin: Sareena - Kia - Jataaka - Ashrah ![]() Military: Jackson "Jax" Briggs - Kurtis Stryker Special Forces: Sonya Blade - Cassie Cage - Jacqui Briggs ![]() Kung Style: Kung Lao - Great Kung Lao - Kung Jin Shirai Ryu: Scorpion - Monster - Takeda Takahashi The movesets would look something like this by the end: Base Roster
