Can someone explain to me what the fuck happened in Jade's ladder mode ending? Who was that woman, and why did she take over her body?

Big difference in what you're implying.
The bosses can already perform fatalities.
The playing as them is done by hacks so far. But i haven't seen a fatality done ON them. Link?

You guys really think everyone's gonna stay dead?
I hope we get an Armageddon-esque release one day running on this engine with every single character(minus Hsu Hao of course) from all the games.

I have only seen a video of a bablity being done on one. I just assumed if it was possible to get a "finish him" on a boss and do a bablity, what's to stop the player from inputting a fatality? We know that the bosses' models have the same structure (bones, innards, etc.) as playable characters.Slamtastic said:

No. Wasn't Raiden the only survivor? I don't even remember but it was ridiculous. Nobody ever really dies in MK.Small Mailman said:

I can no idea you could do the inputs before it says FINISH HIM!Kweh said:

No and no.Small Mailman said:
A similar thing happened at the end of deadly alliance/start of deception. Onaga got quan chi's amulet I believe and resurrected/possessed all the people that the Deadly Alliance had killed (Jax, Cage, Sonya, Kitana, etc) in the final battle to stop them. I'd expect Quan Chi to do the same.
As far as an Armageddon style game, please no. We've had that twice now and both times it's been an unpolished/broken/recycled disaster (MKT,MKA). I'd rather them stick to this roster size and rotate in new characters every game. Having too many characters brings in a lot of issues (balance, redundancies, accessibility, practicality)

I don't think his MK trilogy return was canon. His MK4 one was though. Raiden revived him.GuardianE said:

So who was left standing at the end of MK9? I don't remember.

I am wondering about the opening. In the MKA opening Onaga flew off with Shao Khan and Blaze appeared. In the new opening Raiden and Khan are the last ones. Based on the story line where the hell is Onaga and Blaze? They should be have at least been in the intro since they got it right with Zombie Lou Kang and Shang Tsung at the top of the pyramid.

Maybe NRS realized they were stupid "characters" to begin with!Host Samurai said:

Sindel was always resurrected/turned evil. The only difference is the Shang Tsung soul combo... but Shang Tsung alone couldn't kill all of the earthrealm fighters at once. I don't see why combining him with Sindel would give her that much power.
Regardless, it doesn't change the fact that she's just a stronger Sindel... a mediocre character. It would have been more impactful if Shao Kahn had done it instead. Or a few Outworld warriors with Sindel.

Quan Chi is cool but Shinnok is such a poor excuse for a villain, especially going from Shao Khan to him in MK4. He was a boring, bad designed, generic version of Shang Tsung with no presence or personality. I hope he dies a very quick death in the next game and just revive Shao Khan to lead again.

If they really tried and maybe didn't have boss level characters available at the start it might have a chance of working.infinityBCRT said:

Wasn't it Sindel w/ Quan Chi's magic & w/ Shang Tsung's power + Lin Kuei army? At the end of Deadly Alliance Quan Chi and Shang Tsung pretty much took out all the good guys as well.
infinityBCRT said:
Hmmm, I guess that everyone's power is so variable in this universe that anything's possible. I didn't know that Sindel received any of Quan Chi's power... I thought he'd just resurrected her.
Super Sindel just seemed like a weak secret weapon, in my opinion. I guess I just don't like Sindel all that much.

I hope in the next game they go with Lui Kang coming back as someone evil since a couple of the ladder endings point to that, it would be great for a new storyline.
Host Samurai said:
There's a number of signs that point to that they wanted to do far more with Shinnok, but couldn't do so because time and money started to get tight towards the end of MK4's development.
I mean, how do we go from the "Fearsome Beast" that Shinnok was able to transform into at the end of Sub-Zero Mythos (who couldn't be actually DEFEATED unless you prepared for him ahead of time, forcing you to just run away otherwise), to a guy who basically was little more than a Tsung-composite by MK4?
Needless to say, this time around, there should be no excuses. It's not every day that you get a "2nd chance" in this industry, but the Shinnok Storyline stands to get just that by the next game/story arc. Here's hoping...

I pulled off the Babality as Cyrax on Goro during battle, I wonder if I can do a fatality on him as well.

Count me solidly in the Quan Chi Sucks camp.
So goofy looking. If I wanted Kratos I'd have bought the PS3 version.

Quan Chi sucks. He seems like a cop out character for one, always resurrecting people and shit. And two, he is just bland.
How the hell can anyone say QUAN-CHI is bland? Liu, Nightwolf, Striker, Sonya, even Rayden... Sure. But Quan-Chi? The guy has more personality in this game than the 4 bosses put together! I would put his stance alone against everything Shang has. His winning pose, his funny-ass facial expressions... His VOICE! He has the only cool voice in the whole game (should've been the announcer, if you ask me)!
He actually has an unique body type instead of the one half the cast has. Even his boots are awesome. Every animation of his is all quirky and cocky and affected. I was expecting him to have the Snape thing going on with his delivery (was only familiar with Quan-Chi from the tv series) but they made him even cooler, despite not laying Jamie Pressly every five minutes!
He has a great x-ray, an awesome fatality and the best win-pose too, even better than Shao Khan's. He stomps people in the head! He teleports to avoid walking less than two feet! He tells people they'll serve him in the Netherealm!

Yeah, Quan Chi has always been great.
He's more like a "behind the scenes evil" kind of character, unlike Shao Kahn which is the usual "argh I want to destroy and have everything!!!" or Shang Tsung which is the usual cliche bad guy "oh I'm evil because I look evil and do bad things like...giving orders to kill others".

Quan Chi is the biggest troll in MK, that's for sure. His moves have more personality than any one out there. Sure, we stick to Scorpion or Subzero cause of Nostalgia and familiarity sake, if you don't know jackshit about MK, Quan Chi will be the one who will stand out the most.
