This man gets it.
A lot of where the original plot line fell apart is what could be only expected. As they introduced more and newer things, it became even more of a stretch of how they all fit into the big picture. By MK4, we were made to assume that Quan Chi was the puppet-master that put everything in motion, including being the one who made Scorpion who he is, and why so many things relating to other khars were all a part of his plan. Yet, things didn't even make that much sense even if you DID play Sub-Zero Mythos by that point. :lol
This retelling actually makes Quan Chi's overarching plan make much more sense. The Shinnok plotline may actually be something worth a damn, this time around.

I've been having those thoughts for a while and honestly.. making your own assumptions, your own ideas on who the characters are... maybe that's for the best. I know a lot of fans are disappointed in say FFVII's compliation retcons and how they are taking away lots of the ambigiuity the storyline had.
So maybe it was best left untouched... I don't know.
I suppose if you look at it as it's own thing, it's fine... but if you liked certain things and you had assumptions. You are going to be disappointed.

Well, I don't know the details but the Compliation retcons lots of thing such as the whole Nibhelheim incident.. I mean, I'm not the biggest Final Fantasy fan so if you want more details ask one of them but I have heard of the retcons.
most of the MK9's story can be viewed here: http://www.youtube.com/user/MortalKombat9channel#p/u/0/G-nnxAMnDDc

I really doubt it, it would require to much work to make him viable in a 3D game, even if its only on a 2D plane they still have to animated him as a full 3D character, it would require a lot to make it look right for him to turn front to back, and even if they did it the lazy way and just gave him his phase teleport instead of true turning, you couldn't do any x-rays to him, which would be silly since you can x-ray the other bosses.
Letting him exist in the cutscenes was enough, no more motaro.

It's official, you suck. The reward for the challenge tower (from a stream of someone beating the 300th challenge) is:
Mileena's FleshPit costume (bandages). No surprise there.
He animates fine in the cutscenes, though (he even fights Johnny from afar in Stryker's story). He also has a nifty redesign like all the other characters and stands next to Skarlet in the scene with Sub-Zero in the colosseum. Not really sure why it'd be so hard to animate him into the game. The x-ray thing would have to end up being a compromise of some sorts.Khezu said:
Edit: Motaro dies anyway. So does Kung Lao, though...

So basically, it's the best dialog and voice acting out of every fighting game ever.

fernoca said:Of the first? yep. Of the other 2..well..
Raiden was drunk and going through an experimental phase...so there are a few casualties..
I still refuse to believe that Liu Kang's goofy ass is Earth Realm's best hope of winning Mortal Kombat.
I got way to involved watching those story spoiler vids....Im just really interested in the fact that they could make a story for a fighting game with so many characters. Actually a pretty amazing feat considering most if not all fighting game stories are 10 sec character opening movie 10 sec ending movie and you have to wait until the sequel to see who actually won.
Also interesting that all of the arenas are interconnected story wise to movement from one area to another actually makes sense.

I think they will do a big DLC package collection in the future, an "Ultimate" MK9, with a disc release later on (like SSF4). I think that single player DLC (maybe new challenge tower stuff) will be included with the extra DLC characters, some of them from MK4.

Nice. Was bummed it wasn't the Keri Hoskins look, but that one looks fine.
And surprisingly, I'm managing to stay free of story mode footage and fatality footage so far. I know about all characters, a bunch of alternates and know a couple stuff that changes in the story.
And yeah, despite being into T&A, even I think Mileena's bonus challenge alternate is lame.
Hope so. They really left the story hanging and it's not like they don't have a Shinnok model encoded into the game (he looked really detailed, in fact, in the end). Definitely expecting him and the whole MK4 cast getting into the game if they're going to adapt it's story in continuation to the current form in DLC form. There's also models for a bunch of post-MK4 characters in some of the scenes that you may not expect like Hotaru, for example.Mr. E. Yis said:

The story was pretty terrible but whatever.
The only worry is that it seems that the team cant get over their terrible expansion of the franchise from mk4 and beyond. they should simply forget of all the terrible new characters and not even mention them at all.
it is also weird that you only play as the good guys when they clearly could have added a bit more fights. there are fight scenes in the cut scenes!!! just make the player take over those fights that way you can also experience some of the perspectives of the evil characters.
honestly... so much effort went into the story mode and it is really just a random sequence of fights with no fatalities or too much damage... not worth the effort IMO.
Some characters are lacking in interesting fatalities...
Reptile, sonya, and kano have pretty boring fatalities. hopefully classic fatalities can be added or have yet to be unlocked. would love to see acid bath and sonya's toasty.
sonya's main costume really is quite awful. the alt is much much better. the main just doesnt make any sense at all.
reptile's alt would be perfect if it did not have the dinosaur feet... worst part of his design.

I actually think it's cheap to recycle that animation and un-characteristic of Shang TsungSalsaShark said:

I actually detest the clown fatality of Shang Tsung's as well.

I actually LOVE Shang Tsung's fatality. That's the only fatality I loved in MK vs DC and thought it was a waste of awesomeness especially when censored.
If I had to change one thing, it would be spawning Joker himself. I mean they're owned by WB; I'm sure they can get rights to Joker shooting the brains. It'll nicely work as a hype for Batman: Arkham City.

Maybe they could get it as DLC? Although to be honest, that seems like a huge waste.shagg_187 said:
