'''WARNING: THERE ARE SPOILERS AHEAD, BOTH CONFIRMED AND POTENTIAL. STAY AWAY FROM THE LINKS AND THIS ANALYSIS IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE SPOILED.'''

This is part two of a previous analysis. The first part is here. http://mortalkombat.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:80063 Also, this analysis will not feature pictures, and instead will feature a lot of text, but I will supply sources here (http://thekombattether.com/forums/forum/mortal-kombat-x/mortal-kombat-x-discussion/730-exclusive-mortal-kombat-x-story-mode-preview-spoilers?view=stream) and here (http://thekombattether.com/forums/forum/mortal-kombat-x/mortal-kombat-x-discussion/731-exclusive-johnny-cage-gameplay-mobile-dialogues-mortal-kombat-x-london-event)

The first link we will cover will be the first, relating to the Story Mode preview. See, at a special event in London, the first part of the Story Mode was shown to a few people, including those at the Kombat Tether. While I won't be copy/pasting everything, I will make sure to note what interests me.

Jensei, the lifeforce of Earthrealm, is a new element, and one worth considering from here on out. If corrupted, Earthrealm is basically fucked. We see at one point Sub Zero (as a revenant) and Scorpion work together, which is really interesting, to say the least. Speaking of revenants, we will apparently see a lot of old revenants: Nightwolf, Stryker, Smoke, Kabal, Sindel, and Jax. Also, QTEs are confirmed, and they appear to be in the same vain as Injustice, where the button presses change certain things, but do not ultimately change how the story happens. So, likely, these QTEs will let you start with an advantage, for instance. Also, we see that Jax has a variation: Pumped Up. This leads me to believe that Jax will be playable.

We will see that Fujin is helping Raiden deal with Oni when they are attacked by revenants, which they defeat, but not before Quan Chi and Shinnok attack them, but Johnny and Sonya arrive and while everyone tries to grab the amulet (that Johnny knocks free), Sonya and Johnny tag team Shinnok, only for Sonya to be K.O.'d, and for Johnny to fight Shinnok, who has an Imposter variation with the following properties: "Shinnok uses a variety of speedy attacks and a robust arsenal of spells from his amulet in his Impostor variation, some energy rises from the ground like Shang Tsung's ground fireballs and he also has a Amulet blast spell that stuns the opponent for a free hit". Seems Shinnok will be formidable. However, he is eventually imprisoned.

Part Two is more meaty, at least for me. Also at London, Johnny was playable, and many important details are shown. His three variations are as follows: "Fisticuffs", "Stunt Double", and "A-List", and their unique descriptions are as follows, in order: Fisticuffs adds Fist Bump and Flashy combos and normal attacks. To me, it sounds like Fist Bump will put Johnny in a state to be able to do 'Flashy' moves; what exactly that means, I am none too sure. However, Stunt Double adds the ability to create Stunt Double Mimic moves. Now that is what I'm talking about: It seems Johnny will be able to create mimics like Sub Zero's Ice Clones and use them for something... what I am not too sure of. And finally, A-List allows him to charge any of his normal or special moves to boost their damage.

Johnny's universal specials are as follows: Low Forceball, High Forceball, Nut Breaker, Shadow Kick and Rising Kick. I'm glad his Nut Breaker is universal, but that's just me. Finally, before I close this out, I want to talk about Mobile Cross-unlocks. This, like Injustice, will let you be able to use the Mobile game to unlock content in MKX. Here is the confirmed MKX Cross-Unlocks, which will also confirm yet another playable character: Kombat Koins (no idea what these are, probably just currency for a Krypt-like feature), Klassic Kitana Skin, Farmer Jax Skin (This also has me scratching my head, except confirming Jax as playable for MKX), and Injustice Scorpion Skin (no surprise here.)

Thoughts? Opinions? Let me know.
