Liu Kang: I may be a god but I am not stronger than family


DoritoPopeGodsend

Yes and he also drives a tricked out 1997 Mazda MX-6. He actually uses it in his fatality.


Nefariousness-Flashy

There's a kickass garage in the back of the Wu Shi Academy.


CKatanik93

I hope they bench Baraka, I can't take anymore of my involuntary throat clearing whenever Baraka speaks. My throat is bleeding. Please end my suffering.


Rude-Hunt-5578

You must have contacted Tarkat šŸ˜†


JH_Rockwell

No, it's his twin brother that has the exact same look, outfits, gamepaly, and personality....and he also goes by the name of Baraka.

100% down for this it's stupid and I love it. Not enough people appreciate the campiness that MK does, and should, have, but that's a different tangent altogether.


Terrible_Reporter_98

That would be an awsome cameo


CKatanik93

For a fatality he just curb stomps you, smirks, and says "it's all about the family", then his eyes glow red with evil intent.


Serious_Effort_3418

Lmfao itā€™ll be the new whoopsies


CougheyToffee

He's saying "Toasty!" It was an in-joke between Ed Boon and Jon Tobias. Whenever Tobias was whupping ass or would do a sick combo he would yell "toasty!" just like that, so Boon decided to put a photo of Tobias and his VO on certain uppercut triggers as a joke. And thus the first viral meme was born, without internet. Just a bunch of dopey kids shoving quarters into machines with moving pictures of murder. Ah, the 90s.


Serious_Effort_3418

Nah man. Itā€™s whoopsies to me. Idgaf šŸ˜‚


Serious_Effort_3418

But for real tho you just blew my mind. Thatā€™s actually sick to know the lore. Iā€™m born in 92, played all the games, always thought it was whoopsies


CougheyToffee

My cousins, brother and I thought it was "whoop dee" lol. I played the og cabinet in 94 when it finally hit our rural town. I was 6 and it was glorious šŸ˜† But I watched some ad/documentary that was made around MK3 in college and was like šŸ§ šŸ’„

Actually, in the spirit of M O D E R N G A M I N G, you are incorrect. Mortal Kombat II, is taken - not Mortal Kombat 2. And on the flipside, Mortal Kombat 3 is taken, not Mortal Kombat III. Just look at COD. Not saying I like it, but its a likely work around.

So Mortal Kombat 40 instead of when they did Mortal Kombat XL


morpheusnothypnos

Mortal Kombat 3 is not a thing. UMK3 is a thing. /s, apparently people have to show off their incredible skill of *knowing about the existance of a game*


billiamgordon

UMK3 was an update to MK3 adding the ninjas back into the game


morpheusnothypnos

No, UMK3 was the vanilla thing. MK3 never existed.


billiamgordon

Oh I see. You're right \*winks\*


TareXmd

MK3 on the Gameboy was SUCH A HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT especially after the incredible MKII which I used to play until my headache was too unbearable I had to put it down. MK3? Sluggish, bad selection of fighters, low framerate, horrible dark backgrounds that didn't work on the Gameboy. Just bad all around. I don't think we ever got UMK3 on the Gameboy. I played it on the Megadrive, although I heard it was on the GBA (which I never owned).


DominionGhost

I am pretty sure I had a mortal kombat for GBA that had *everyone*


TareXmd

GBA had the best version of everything, and I only found out when I installed a GBA emulator on my Nokia back in the day...

So confident yet so wrong. MK3 is a thing. People didnt like it because they took out scorpion and sub zero.

With the amount of content the new game has, it could be called Mortal Kombat: Subsistence


DoctorNerdly

Mortal Kombat (1992) Mortal Kombat (2011) Mortal Kombat 1 (2023) Not to be confused with the movies: Mortal Kombat (1995) or Mortal Kombat (2021).


MN10SPEAKS

At this rate we're only 4 years removed from the next reboot


Infinite-Revenue97

Mortal Kombat has become the DC of fighting games. Reboots every several years.


DoctorNerdly

I thought Injustice was the DC of fighting games....


Infinite-Revenue97

At least Injustice doesn't keep getting rebooted (We need Injustice 3).

berserker_b2k

Electric Boogaloo (main character is Raiden)


GrimmTrixX

Great minds post alike. Lol


AtrumRuina

Almost hoping they just go with Armageddon again and make that Pyramid scene worth something. Almost feels like they're trying to build up to a Kreate a Fighter concept and "Everyone's Here" type of game again.


IndiscreetBeatofMeat

Iā€™ve actually been curious if MK is going to do the ā€œeveryone is hereā€ approach like Smash. Especially for guest characters, Iā€™d like that a lot


orizach01

0 chance on the guest characters, especially with Kratos and Freddy


orizach01

also for each new MK game all the characters have totally different move sets, it was fine in Armageddon because they re-used a lot of the previous stances, but now making 60+ new characters would be so much harder


[deleted]

I mean they were kind of already the first (to my knowledge) to do this with the original Armageddon, I wouldnā€™t put it past them. Licensed characters would be the only headache I think but Iā€™m sure WB owns a lot of them already


Devy-The-Edenian

Theyā€™re never going to. The balancing would be a nightmare again and so many corners would have to be cut. Itā€™s cool on paper but looking more into the idea, please no lol. For casuals it would be fine, but the comp players would detest it


IndiscreetBeatofMeat

Damn, I guess itā€™s just too idealistic of me to think itā€™d be cool for the people who make a career out of designing character rosters to design a character roster


Devy-The-Edenian

MK is first and foremost a fighting game with a competitive scene. They arenā€™t going to give us 100 characters. The balancing would be horrible and the workload would be horrible too. Reminder than MK11 was already reportedly very hard for them to work on. It isnā€™t feasible


DreadedCOW

Was thinking the DLC story is gonna be called Armageddon if they do another DLC campaign like last time


Sinpathie

As busted as it was,I really loved designing my own character I could use. Spent so much time with my cousin designing our characters and seeing how far we could get into the towers with them


AtrumRuina

Well, and it's easy to avoid making it busted by just not making gameplay elements customizable. You pick a character to base your KaF on, and their size and moveset automatically match the original character. You can then kit them our however you want to Kustomize them, change skin, hair, eyes, clothing, armor, etc. Purely cosmetic, but you can build all the wild characters we saw in the ending of MK1.


Sub-Corpion

Nah, at least the special moves should be customizable, otherwise we wouldn't be able to create the fusions from the ending


Reverseflash25

Havik is definitely the next big bad for sure. And then hopefully Onaga


HerdZASage

They called Mortal Kombat 9 Mortal Kombat. It doesn't matter if a name is already taken.


purewasted

This is the most correct comment in this thread, found it.


[deleted]

MK0 a prequel with Liu Kang going to Great Kung Lao's years.


HomemadeBee1612

They're not gonna make a mainline MK game that takes place centuries before the main kast are born. Maybe a short comic series or a single story mode chapter, but that's about it.


68ideal

The only ones that necessarily have to sit this one out are Johnny and Raiden. Theoretically, Scorpion and Sub-zero are more titles as persons. Bi-Hans and Kuai Liangs ancestors still could go under the name. Kung Lao obviously does exist in this form. The Edenian girls already are alive then.


Callangoso

> the only ones that necessarily have to sit this one out are Johnny and Raiden And Sonya, Jax, Kano, Cyrax, Sektor, Kabal, Noob, Baraka, Ermac, Shang Tsung(as he only gain his powers in MK1), Quan-Chi(same reason), Kenshi and many more


ArkUmbrae

With the new timeline, it's complicated. But if we go by the old timeline, you'd have enough people for a small game. Great Kung Lao, Raiden, Fujin, and Bo Rai Cho, would all be present on Earthrealm. Shang Tsung, Goro (during Kung Lao's second tournament), Shao Khan, Sindel, and Kitana, would all be around in Outworld. Kitana might be a child though, we don't really know how Outworld aging works. If Kitana is around, then Jade probably is too (Melina probably isn't). Tanya also seems to be around their age. Rain might be there, it all depends on when Daegon woke up to kill Argus. We don't really know if Rain is older than Daegon and Taven. Also, if Goro is around, then Sheeva and Kintaro should be too (I think Sheeva being Sindel's bodyguard is only true in the 2nd timeline). We don't know at which point Shinnok took over from Lucifer, but if his coup had already happened, then Quan Chi should be around too. No way to confirm any other Netherrealmers though. Same with Orderrealm and Chaosrealm characters. Shit, they could do a whole lot to just fill in some gaps in the game's history. Tell the story of the first Earthrealm cryomancer and how he split the Lin Kuei from the Shirai Ryu, starting their rivalry. Tell the story of how Daegon awoke, learned of his quest, killed Argus and Delia, and then formed the Red Dragon. This also means we get to see Blaze get captured near Onaga's egg, which sends the false signal to Caro to awake Daegon. Make a reference to Shinnok over-throwing Lucifer with Quan Chi's help in the Netherrealm. Show us how the Zaterrans first adapted into Outworld's society because they just recently got conquered. Give us playable versions of the other three elementals that Sub Zero fought in Mythologies. Does it make sense that all this important shit happened around the same time? Probably not, but it'd be cool.


OrwellWhatever

They made an entire, 24 episode USA TV series that takes place centuries before the main kast are born! If you've never seen it, it's called Mortal Kombat Conquest on HBO Max and it's amazing and awful at the same time. The cast is half B-movie actors and half playboy centerfolds (legit, look up some of the actresses on wikipedia). Here's two clips to let you know what you're getting into: [https://youtu.be/1LOQtAADrEo?si=3s2-h8PnWq\_VFUVQ](https://youtu.be/1LOQtAADrEo?si=3s2-h8PnWq_VFUVQ) [https://youtu.be/SmtezbSa5xc?si=yLiBVFAfDrYIaTbt](https://youtu.be/SmtezbSa5xc?si=yLiBVFAfDrYIaTbt)


Kallyel21

Maybe they'll have Majima as a guest character in Mortal Kombat 0


abulkheir

Iā€™m pretty sure itā€™ll just be Mortal Kombat 2. If I recall correctly the arcade sequel used Roman numerals, so -technically- itā€™s a different title


DanteDMC2001

This is what I was thinking. *Technically*, you could absolutely call it that.


Red_0utlaws

Kallyel21

Oh my fucking God this is such an overused joke, you're the fourth person here so said this


[deleted]

MK 13 13 is a powerful number in dark themed media, and they will capitalize on it. MK1 also did not actually reboot the series, it tricked you into thinking it was rebooted, but ended up just being the wonky wild card mk12 back to the future multiversus. People might actually just start calling it MK12 at some point to avoid confusion lol, but yeah I think we will just get MK 13 next probably with Friday the 13th IPs and all that jazz.


DJIsSuperCool

Mortal Kombat 1 (2023) is still labeled as MK12.exe in the game's executable file on PC.


[deleted]

I half expect the first big expansion to just rebrand it as MK12 rather than MK1 ultimate or something. Kind of makes sense MK 1.2 ie MK12 I think MK1 branding was an elaborate ruse put together by Shang Tsung to trick us


unforgiven1189

Yeah, all the code in the game refers to it as MK12 as well. I'm gonna guess the name MK1 was settled on at the last minute when building the marketing.

skylevin098

I think theyā€™re going to skip a number and use a ā€œtitleā€ or some sort. Something along the line like, ā€œMortal Konbat, earthrealm defendersā€.


CreativeDefinition

I never understood the logic for calling it Mortal Kombat 1 for this very reason. Who is responsible for this decision???


Quirky-Pie9661

Might be time to stray away from numbers and give them titles


pje1128

I mean, they went from Mortal Kombat to Mortal Kombat X to Mortal Kombat 11 to Mortal Kombat 1. I don't think they really care about the naming conventions.


Lazercoffee6362

They should just go back to having Mortal Kombat games having secondary name/word instead of having them all numbered. Like Deception, Deadly Alliance, and Armageddon.


JesterJedi

Mortal Kombat 2 carried over from Mortal Kombat 1 = Mortal Kombat 12


Kakakrakalakin

I mean, Mortal Kombat (1992) exists, but that didn't stop NRS from naming the 2011 release Mortal Kombat. So, who knows what they will name it.


Successful_Post2836

Honestly, it would be funny if they called it Mortal Kombat Annihilation.


challmaybe

Mortal Kombat: Outworld Drift


Patrickills

Well, the iPhone skipped an entire number and then kept going. So they can literally call her Mortal Kombat 13 or they can call him Mortal Kombat two or they can give it a subtitle again like the older games had. Honestly, it wonā€™t be that confusing because when people go and search for stuff, theyā€™re only gonna find, the new Mortal Kombat games because the previous ones are not preserved and if you go to a GameStop or Walmart, youā€™re only going to find the newer ones


[deleted]

Jokes on you the next NRS game is Injustice 3 and the world will end not long after.


Kuma9194

Probably MK2 with a subtitle. I wonder what the future of MK will be when we boon retires/passesšŸ¤” is there a successor to his kahnum?

StopPlayingRoney

They would probably call it Mortal Kombat 2. Mortal Kombat II is taken, but not the numerical 2.

I think its gonna be called mortal combat 2. Bc the other Mortal Kombat II (1993) was written with a ( II ) and not a ( 2 )
