scorpion's alt > scorpions normal
classic is probably better than both, though I don't know about the classic since I can't select it...
my only irritation with the alt is that the swords magically change to normal costume's swords during fatality. probably happens with classic too.
another oops like reptiles acid spit in his classic costume, it seems.

I love little details like this in games.Shakala said:

Quan Chi is so fucking out of place in this game. Why did they feel the need to include him?
Does Ed Boon have that much of a hard-on for him? He's the only character post-MKIII that's in the game.

i agree that Quan Chi feels out of place at first;
the only rational I can think of is that he is there to bridge the next sequel

Seriously I have never seen so many things jumping into and popping out of holes in space-time in my life as I have seen in MK. Chell would get motion sick watching an MK game.
Quan Chi bends dimensions to his will and summons a vortex JUST TO TURN THE FUCK AROUND.
These people were born with wormholes up their bums.
The thing's that even in the original games/cannon Quan Chi was always there.
Granted it was retconned after his introduction in Mythologies/MK4 (he being in Netherrealm with Scorpion, he helping Shang Tsung with the plans to resurrect Sindel, he killing Scorpion's family and putting the blame on Sub-Zero), but seeing he has ties to most of the characters, it was expected for him to introduce him in this game.
The only "big change" introduced in this game was he competing in the tournament, but I saw that as him trying to pass as an "ordinary fighter and feign alliances to hide his true intentions".

Yeah, all the characters that have teleports in this game, had them in the original ones.
Liu Kang was the only one I though was going to have a teleport now, but turned out he just uses it in between rounds, when he's too close to the other player; so is not an actual move.
And many do because many started as pallette-swapped ninjas, sharing moves from Scorpion.

I always fail to see details like that. Thanks for pointing it out, now I can go and appreciate it.Shakala said:
Another cool detail is when you play a tag match and you knock out the first opponent, they will fall off the screen in different ways depending on the stage. On The Pit they fall down screaming, they actually fall into the Deadpool, and get knocked away by a car on the Street.

While doing a fatality on The Pit, limbs and such will actually fall off the sides as opposed to splattering on the ground like they normally would in other levels.Shin_Kojima said:

Took about two hours total but I finally beat Shao Kahn in story. What a cheap little man. Started off with just wailing on him like I would a normal fight and then switched to teleports and uppercuts. Finally beat him when I remembered I had a lightning bolt I could send his way when he stands up.
I know there's always that final boss who's extremely tough but I really enjoyed the story mode up until this part. I would replay it sooner if it wasn't for the Kahn fights I think. Still, even with the cheese this is one of the best stories I've seen in a game in a while. This and Portal 2 has fulfilled my fun SP for a long time.

It's been said plenty of times but I have to repeat it (now that I'm able to), this OP is awesome. Good job.
I'm nearly finished with the challenge tower... up to 255ish or so. Need to get some endings then all single player kontent will be complete. And then the wait for PSN to come up shall commence.

So are stage fatalaties unlocked in the krypt? And how do you select a character's alt after ulocking them and going to the necropolis?
GrayFoxPL said:
Stage fatalities are not all in the Krypt. I have the 100% achievement for the Krypt, even got the 4 secret chests after the achievement, and I still have loads of locked stage fatality commands.
I don't even recall seeing any stage fatality in the Krypt, in fact.

Another one I thought was cool. If you reflect Noob's clone as Nightwolf he runs off into the background of the level, like you scared him off or something. Many lulz were had the first time I saw that.
