character dying?
I'm sure you guys saw the story mode and most of the good characters died only these lived( Raiden, Johnny Cage, Sonya Blade. ) and from the bad guys who lived ( Quan Chi.) Im not sure if there are any more characters lived. I'm just wandering will all those dead character come back into the next game?? Scorp zero 22:16, April 20, 2011 (UTC)


 * They came back in the Netherrealm under Quan Chi's control, so I assume they will return in the next game under his control and part of the story will be to free them. At least I hope so, I'm not happy with the amount of deaths that occurred, Kung Lao, Kabal, Jade, and Kitana are all favorites of mine. Especially Kitana. --Azeruth 15:58, April 21, 2011 (UTC)
 * I know that when Raiden disappear with Sonya and Johnny, he takes Liu Kang, so maybe he will be back and we don't know what happened to the Lin Kuei, the Black Dragon, the Shokans, the Tarkatans and Mileena

 * I got a fealing not everyone died. The soulsyou are fighting are fake or that's my guess.
 * Jax, Kabal, Striker,.... it didn't seem like they "died" i mean a punch to the face isn't lethal from a single blow.
 * And who said that all the badguys die? Asterix1997 19:55, April 23, 2011 (UTC)
 * So I'm assuming you missed the part where Sindel stabbed Jax in the throat, broke Kabal's neck, and impaled Stryker?

The only 'bad guys' who die are Shang Tsung, Shao Kahn, and Sindel. No one else.. --Byakuya600 19:57, April 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * I consider Noob Saibot as having been killed since he was dissolved in the Soulnado. And I don't think Kahn died, I think he got carried up for judgment from the Elder Gods...we'll all find out in the next game though. --Azeruth 23:21, May 5, 2011 (UTC)

True. I guess it's just Noob, Sindel, and Shang Tsung then. IMO, they really should've killed off a few more villains. --Byakuya600 23:34, May 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * Motaro died too, though he wasn't really involved. --Azeruth 23:37, May 5, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah I don't really count him, he was only a minor appearance in a few cutscenes. Like you said, he's not involved. --Byakuya600 23:39, May 5, 2011 (UTC)

We can't really say for sure Noob died since all we saw was what appeard to be him becoming one with the soulnado and then it disapearing, he could have joined with all the souls in and then teleported or something. He was revived by Quan Chi, unlike the first timeline, so we don't know if he's more powerful or not. Plus the same thing happened to Scorpion and he was just taken up to the Elder Gods and became their champion. GrimmShadows 10:30, May 10, 2011 (UTC)

Where is the original Cyrax in Desert?
I've looked hard many times, but I still can't find him. Anyone have a pic? --Byakuya600 14:16, April 21, 2011 (UTC)

I heard he was supposed to be on the far left of the stage, I've yet to see (or really look) him but I will look more closely...I've also noticed...I seem to stay on the right side of the stage in every battle xD --Azeruth 15:08, April 21, 2011 (UTC)

Please show me an image.(


 * I jumped all the way left in Jade's Desert and sure enough he's there. Coincidentally, I'm Cyrax. --Azeruth 22:23, April 21, 2011 (UTC)

Can someone please add a pic? I still haven't seen him (It's not that I don't believe you, i'd just like to see it) --Byakuya600 23:25, April 21, 2011 (UTC)

I found him in one of the Challenge Towers with Cyrax. Against Sonya. I didn't take a picture though. --Azeruth 23:26, April 21, 2011 (UTC)

I took a crappy cellphone picture on the pause screen, it's Challenge Tower #63, Fire And Forget...Literally as Cyrax (coincidentally)

So he's only found in the Challenge Tower? That kinda sucks... --Byakuya600 08:09, April 22, 2011 (UTC)

I think him appearing is completely random. --Azeruth 16:59, April 22, 2011 (UTC)

Finally found him today! He looks funny, it's like he's dancing. --Byakuya600 19:31, April 23, 2011 (UTC)

How in the hell do you beat Shao Kahn?
I've tried everything from using the fireballs, to using the dragon kick, and trying to let the time go out. But nothing works, its REALLY pissing me off now. Im on a PS3 btw. --Byakuya600 15:52, April 21, 2011 (UTC)

I spammed low fireball with Liu Kang. I'm serious. Jumped over hammers, ducked spears, and just spammed low fireballs. He's ridiculous, all of the bosses are overpowered, they take little damage and deal way too much. They spam everything and just make it no fun. It's a lot of luck. --Azeruth 15:57, April 21, 2011 (UTC)

Every time I try that he charges me, literally making it completely impossible to even attempt to throw fireballs. And since the D-Pad on the controller is stiff, that makes it even more impossible to do. --Byakuya600 16:02, April 21, 2011 (UTC)

Back away from him so you're about a fullscreen away and just spam it. It's a lot of luck, wait for him to taunt you and hit him, etc. It's frustrating, I agree. --Azeruth 16:02, April 21, 2011 (UTC)

Ugh, still not working. I even lowered the difficulty to Beginner aftewards, and the same thing happens. Now I can't even hit him without him spamming something, such as throwing hammers. In fact, I think it got even worse. --Byakuya600 16:10, April 21, 2011 (UTC)

I've beaten Kahn a few times now, and I think I've managed to find openings in his attacks. Obviously, I'm sure you know he doesn't flinch most of the time if you hit him, but he is vulnerable after certain attacks. First of all, find a combo with your character that you like, preferably one that knocks your opponent back. This'll be the one you'll use over and over again against Kahn.

The next step is to wait after specific attacks to attack him. NEVER try to attack him after he does his forward shoulder charge or overhead hammer smash; he won't be vulnerable after those attacks. However, after he does his upward shoulder charge, front kick, hammer uppercut, hammer sweep, taunt, arrow throw, or one-two punch, don't hesistate, and dish out your combo. Don't try to get greedy though, or he will recover and mess you up. Just back off, block, and dodge until he's open again. A quick projectile attack here and there wouldn't hurt either. In the end, just practice, practice, practice until you find a strategy you're comfortable with. Razr459 16:24, April 21, 2011 (UTC)

Shao Kahn is cheap and hard to defeat again? Sweet.  Smoke Sound off! 18:58, April 21, 2011 (UTC)

^ just stay about mid to long range. He will constantly keep taunting all the time at that range. <--- what i do.75.111.47.49 19:32, April 21, 2011 (UTC) Delita

How can I do Brutalities, i mean, is it within a krypt coffin, or it will be a DLC. Naruto.Scorpion 18:02, April 21, 2011 (UTC)Naruto.Scorpion

Well I've only played in my friends house and yes once again Shao Kahn is extremely cheap and hard to defeat. Some tips on how to defeat him would be:


 * Keep your distance (two jumps away from him)


 * Jump over/duck under the spears he keeps throwing


 * Jump over the shoulder charge ( he tends to do two in a row so go as close to him as possible before jumping)


 * Take advantage of his taunts to jump towards him and hit him (MK9 is very similar to MKII so a good way to beat him his using aerial kicks and punches) and then get away as fast as possible


 * Use the timer, if you keep your distance and manage to avoid most his attacks Shao Kahn will keep taunting you (kind of lame actually)


 * Beware that if Shao Kahn hits you with his X-Ray move you're as good as dead


 * If you have your X-Ray meter full and you see an opening get him as fast as you can.


 * Firebals take some time for the character to return to his stance, enough time to get Kahn near you pounding on your head.

I think this is all of them, I hope this helps. Best regards — Kuro  Selas talk 19:35, April 21, 2011 (UTC)

thumb|300px|rightThis is a video I found on youtube maybe it can help you all. Best regards — Kuro  Selas talk 19:40, April 21, 2011 (UTC)

I know its frusturating, I actually broke the stick on my PS3 controller, but with Liu Kang, all you have to do is stay away from him and when he taunts use Liu's Flying Dragon Kick. Also, if he taunts when you are close use his bicycle kick move. You can be cheap with it, and right when shao kahn gets up just do the flying dragon kick again and again and when he blocks it, go for the bicycle kick. Use the X-Ray, and when Kang kicks him up in the air, dash forward and give him an uppercut. xV DEaD ShOT xV 22:38, April 21, 2011 (UTC)

Well, I agree that Shao Kahn is very hard to beat. Even on team ladders with Smoke and Scorpion, who both are decent boss killers, whoever I'm playing with and I usually end up with two or more retries.. But, we eventually do get him. If you're going solo, I heavily suggest Scorpion. He's fast, powerful, and the spear is extremely useful. Here are some tips:


 * Of course, keep your distance! If you don't, he's going to charge at you and cause very heavy damage.


 * Whenever you can, such as when he taunts you, spear him and use the Doomblade combo. Even with his boss defense, the powerful combo does a lot of damage to him (for a boss). If you mess up and take too much time, go for an uppercut.


 * Do NOT get cornered. He will kick, charge, and massacre you and your face. Plus, it's hard to escape. Should this ever happen, when he's approaching you or he's on you (makes escaping hard), teleport punch him. Go for an uppercut if he blocks.


 * Projectiles can be frustrating. But you can dodge them. Remember to BLOCK or DUCK harpoons and JUMP hammer throws. The hammer throws are much more deadly to get hit by as they stun you for a few seconds, and in those seconds Shao Kahn can continue to throw projectiles at you or even pull off his extremely powerful X-Ray move.


 * Beware of his X-Ray move! No matter how high you health will be, it will be an extremely hard hit to you! Whenever he is charged up for an X-Ray, be very careful and ready to escape his wrath.


 * Use your X-Ray moves! Go for it if while he attacks or during a spear. It's safest to use it during a spear, but it's really damaging if you're able to pull off a spear + Doomblade combo and then an X-Ray.


 * If you just want to kill him, don't switch up your combos. Either Doomblade or uppercut him.


 * Sometimes, when he's attacking, he will have an armor affect when you attack him with certain moves and their effect is canceled out. For example, if he's about to slam his hammer on you, the armor affect may kick in if you try to uppercut him, and he will not be sent up into the air.


 * Scorpion's X-Ray isn't very damaging compared to other X-Rays. If you are doing a team ladder, you should probably save it for your partner. That doesn't mean, however, that you shouldn't use his X-Ray.

I hope this helps those who are still trying to kill Shao Kahn. Good luck on killing that son of a bitch! Scratch my name on his face for me! Gumba johnny 23:18, April 21, 2011 (UTC)

The thing is though, he NEVER taunts, not at all, it's always ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK, it literally is impossible to do anything. I'm thinking about giving up, it's too hard. I don't know if it's different for each game, but if it is, that's f**king stupid. --Byakuya600 11:03, April 22, 2011 (UTC)

Well, I see that when you keep your distance from him, he taunts. You should probably stay across the screen from him. Gumba johnny 12:51, April 22, 2011 (UTC)


 * Shao Kahn taunts often, whether it's him laughing "heartily" or him pointing at you saying "It's official, you suck!" Basically, if he isn't throwing something he's taunting. --Azeruth 17:00, April 22, 2011 (UTC)

FINALLY! AFTER 3 DAYS, I BEAT THAT CHEAP ASSHOLE! And now, I have Cyber Sub-Zero. Thanks for your help guys. Especially you, Azeruth and Kuro, your strategies helped me beat his ass. --Byakuya600 19:34, April 23, 2011 (UTC)

Krypt Kreeper
How many of you jumped when the screamer popped out? He's gotten me twice in the Krypt...I jump easily. --Azeruth 02:01, April 22, 2011 (UTC)

Don't ask me why, but I was wearing headphones when it first popped up. Suffice to say, he got me…good…very, very good. Little bastard made me scared to go into the Krypt. Honestly, who would see that coming on their first visit? Razr459 02:12, April 22, 2011 (UTC)


 * That must've hurt your ears...I'm not a fan of it, it jumped out at me after about 3 minutes unlike the first time which was about 15 minutes. I checked "Krypt" in the Twitter search bar, lots of people jumped, lots of unhappy people about it. I hope they remove it, I don't like it xD --Azeruth 02:32, April 22, 2011 (UTC)


 * I can get where they're coming from. I hate that thing. Luckily, I did manage to find a way to avoid it. Instead of wandering around the Krypt looking for more unlockables, bring up the map, select the area you want to explore, and select it. You should be automatically brought to the area, and placed in front of an available collectible you missed, no searching necessary. After you buy it, bring up the map again, select the same area, and you should be brought up to the next collectible. Buy it, bring up the map, select the same area, and be brought to the next collectible. Lather, rinse, and repeat until you clean out the entire area. I was able to buy every item in the Hollow of Infestation using this strategy and the bastard didn't pop up once. Razr459 02:42, April 22, 2011 (UTC)

That's what I was doing for a while through the Bloodmarsh (the floating bodies) thinking he only appeared there. Then I read it was completely random...lol --Azeruth 02:45, April 22, 2011 (UTC)

ive heard he gives you 1000 coins when he pops up ive gotten twice doing the map bring up buy bring up map so i kinda want him but i want to clean the krypt out fast Ludacolo 18:35, April 23, 2011 (UTC)

First time I went in there. In like 6 seconds the fucker jumps out at me. I already knew about it but GOD DAMN. First fuckin time. Stop to inspect a grave and BOOOOM! The second time I was doing the strategy on its official page. And yet the fucker STILL came out. I even had the volume down and scared the shit outta me.

When the hell will the demo for xbox come out?
I preordered the game i just wanna have some first taste of it, or will the demo be ended up like Super Street Figher 4? (you know, its demo also only release for PS3 only)


 * Dunno, I have a PS3 so it doesn't affect me, but I doubt they'll make a demo for it. It's out for XBox now right? --Azeruth 02:32, April 22, 2011 (UTC)


 * It's not out, yet. Nathan900130 21:05 April 21 2011 (UTC)

Does anyone know when we will be able to get Kenshi, and Lady in Red (Skarlett)? I really want to play as them, but when? (Sub-Erstryktile4 13:33, May 21, 2011 (UTC))

I think they are still working on the characters, seems like they finished Kenshi fatalities not long ago (a day or two) so they should be available in a week or two I think.

Shao Kahn, Kintaro and Goro as Playable Characters.
For some reason this article and several others on the wiki list Shao Kahn, Goro and Kintaro as unplayable bosses. The game has been out for nearly a few days now and clips show them as playable. This should probably be noted for accuracies sake. Maphisto86 10:36, April 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * What clips? I haven't seen any clips with Shao Kahn, Kintaro, or Goro being playable. Maybe I missed a few. But Ed Boon made it very clear in a twitter post that the bosses would not be playable. 12:09, April 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * Actually, as far as I know, Goro is playable, but only in the Challenge Tower. You first get to play as him in Challenge #150 "Gor-owned". As for Kintaro and Kahn, I don't know yet. Razr459 16:36, April 23, 2011 (UTC)
 * Only Goro is playbe there in #150. Kintaro and Shao Kahn aren't playble there. I have all 300
 * When there whare clips with Shao Kahn and Kintaro as playble characters, they are just a fake or with haks-188.97.12.217 18:52, April 23, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes apparently I was misled by the Goro challenge and I assumed the same for the others. Let's hope they can become playable in a DLC sometime. Sorry about my naive post. Maphisto86 04:41, May 4, 2011 (UTC)

Make your own Kombos?
Maybe I'm just pissed, but who the fuck considers ANYTHING you can do in this game "making your own kombo"? Maybe that might be true if there wasn't a 2 to 3 second delay between any attacks that aren't a part of a pre-defined kombo, but as it stands, it's impossible to chain together attacks without leaving a giant gaping hole in which your opponent can beat the shit out of you.71.20.43.135 23:17, May 5, 2011 (UTC)

That's completely wrong, you'll leave a 'giant gaping hole' if you don't chain the attacks together quick enough. --Byakuya600 23:37, May 5, 2011 (UTC)

How fast do you have to do it? Pressing the next button immediately after the first, before the first strike is even through is apparently not good enough. And while we're on the subject of how ineffectual things are in this game, what exactly is this whole "elder gods' wrath" business at the end? Their wrath is literally nothing. Couldn't they have at least put Raiden on a little less unequal footing with Shao Kahn?

Death=Non-Canon
Out of blatant curiosity, I just want to know: for every character that died in MK 2011's story mode, should their MK 2011 ending be labled as non-canon. After all, following the story mode, which seems to be canon, they couldn't even face Shao Kahn considering they were a little "deadish" by the story mode's end. Razr459 00:24, May 7, 2011 (UTC)

Most Arcade endings have always been non-canon to the series.GrimmShadows 10:20, May 10, 2011 (UTC)

Cameos Chained Up
Thus far, the only people I've seen chained up in Kahn's Arena are Skarlet, Kitana, and Tanya if Kitana is being played by the player. I know there were pictures of Li Mei and Kira chained up, but any actually see them in the game? --Azeruth 03:00, May 8, 2011 (UTC)

That's what I was wondering, I think that whenever you play as Skarlet they will switch to Kira, or Li Mei. But even when I saw Skarlet gameplay at Kahn's Arena, Skarlet was still in Chains, but I think they'll fix it sooner, or later.

-Sub-Erstryktile

The boss fights take a lot of the fun out.
The whole no flinching, block whenever they feel like it without actually blocking thing is retarded. Shao Kahn is the biggest p.o.s. ever. I cannot beat him. I'm fighting him as Raiden right now at the end of story mode, or near the end, and the fucker will not go down. I haven't even beaten him for one round yet. What is it with these bosses? It's like the goal of the boss battles is to make you give up. First Goro, then Kintaro, then Goro and Kintaro again, then Goro and Kintaro at the same time, now impossible-to-beat Shao Kahn. Can anyone offer some advice? This shit is seriously frustrating the hell out of me. -Rm2kking 08:40, May 8, 2011 (UTC)

Update: I actually just beat him. The strategy was simple but tricky to master. Stay FAR away from Shao Kahn, wait till he makes a move (at that distance it's usually a projectile, which is preferred) Then teleport IMMEDIATELY and uppercut. Then repeat. A lot. It's tedious, and takes a long time, but it seems like it's the best way to deal damage to him while minimizing the savage beating he gives you. Jesus, my fingers hurt...

A Minor Flaw(Anybody else notice?)
I was reading about the gameplay when I noticed it said that the babalities were returning from MK3.

Not sure if anyone else has had this or whether it has already been reported (im on PS3 which is having problems with PSN) but i was just playing Test Your Luck, was on about my 7th retry, as Kung Lao and the arena was the Foundry, The Stage Started off with this loud crackling type sound. It wasnt my TV due to the fact i could pause it, and resume and the sound effect would pause and resume at the right times. Anyone else had this problem? Brotherhood619 20:43, May 10, 2011 (UTC)

No.. sounds like a disc problem. -- Byakuya TALK 07:00, May 12, 2011 (UTC)

The game is awesome and I made a tribute...

Fujin as DLC
remember the skarlet hack? something similar happened with fujin.  GunBlazer  :Shadow Assassin!  13:57, May 19, 2011 (UTC)


 * I heard about it, watched a video, heard the announcer say Fujin, didn't see Fujin at all. This is why I think we need to wait on stuff, but if it's done purposely by the team to throw off hackers? They could have every name stated in the select screen. --Azeruth 13:59, May 19, 2011 (UTC)

What point? --Azeruth 14:06, May 19, 2011 (UTC)

now someone has complained about why i removed his DLC reference. was not it denied? 20:31, June 4, 2011 (UTC)

Later DLC
On twitter, MKUtweets ( MKUnited ) has some info on later DLC.

It consists of these characters

Skarlet, Kenshi, Shinnok and Rain.

Rain and Shinnok are like 20% done. So they don't know Rain's move set. And they want to wait before finishing them and see how well Kenshi and Skarlet do.

I asked them about any later Klassic Kostumes and Klassic Fatalitys but I have no reply yet.

Oh and Kenshi will be more of a swordsman type character. But his telekenesis will certainly be involved. And he will combine his telekenesis and his sword in gameplay.

They are pretty reliable when it comes to this stuff.

First of all, SIGN YOUR POSTS! Second, proof? -- Byakuya TALK 23:05, May 20, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks for deleting my comment...as I said before it was deleted, I'd rather Ed Boon have tweeted this to consider this reliable. --Azeruth 23:06, May 20, 2011 (UTC)

I didn't delete anything, our edits conflicted and in the end mine came through. -- Byakuya TALK 23:11, May 20, 2011 (UTC)

I'll copy and paste

MKU: Kenshi to have tele kinetic powers but his FOCUS will be that of a swordsman

Me: does he use telekenesis and swords play? And how different will he be to Ermac with powers

MKU: Some telekinesis but mainly swordsman type character. Very much MKD and mkda

Me: But will he also use telekenisis combined with his sword. Couse that could be cool.

MKU: definitely Me: What other DLC info do you know? Rain? Fujin?....I feel like I'm askin to many questionsMKU: Hahah in this order. Scarlet, kenshi, shinnok, rain. You're welcome :) Me: Any possible way you could tell me Rains kombat propperties? Like his moves? MKU: Oh I wanna be clear- scarlet is like 96% done, kenshi 80 and rain and shinnok like 20... Very early stages and they want to do more but Want to see how much income they pull in off dlc content also new costumes are coming for all Right from twitter Smokeman140 23:28, May 20, 2011 (UTC)

Could you give us a link? -- Byakuya TALK 23:30, May 20, 2011 (UTC)

Sure, but keep in mind, the Rain and Shinnok thing is only via messaging so I can't link that. But trust me, they did say that to me.

DLC Page ?
I was thinking we have have a bunch of catergories, like ninjas , glitch characters , and many many more so do you guys think we should make a page just for DLC Characters just wondering 24.243.99.93 18:04, June 1, 2011 (UTC) Flapjak

there is a category for DLC already.      18:07, June 1, 2011 (UTC)

There is ? whats it called 24.243.99.93 18:11, June 1, 2011 (UTC) Flapjak

Oh thanks 24.243.99.93 18:27, June 1, 2011 (UTC) Flapjak

+2 Unkown?
Who added this? 15:12, June 13, 2011 (UTC)

Rain
Someone placed Rain on the DLC character list, I removed as I couldn't find any proof as to whether he is confirmed. All I found was this on Ed's twitter:

"RT @Kwisted @noobde ANNOUNCE RAIN PLEASE! Noobde: Announcing.... RAIN!"

Personally I think he is just taking the mick of this guy, but it's easy to miss read it and think that they had just confirmed Rain as a character. Thoughts? Brotherhood619 14:56, June 14, 2011 (UTC)

I stand corrected... Feel free to add :P. Brotherhood619 14:59, June 14, 2011 (UTC)

Is Mortal Kombat 9 going out for PC?
What about PC? I heard that Mortal Kombat 9 is going to have a PC version that will go out after the console version but were is it?LuxJanuar 15:12, June 18, 2011 (UTC)

They said they were going to consider it, but nothing to this date. 14:25, June 21, 2011 (UTC)

Page Locked
I was trying to edit the page to add July FREE new retro skins for Noob Saibot and Smoke. This info is Confirmed via the The Mortal Kombat Season Pass. You my check the image for yourself - http://www.trmk.org/images/mk9/ms_promo_noob_smoke.jpg

MortalWizard 17:45, June 21, 2011 (UTC)

We know. We just decided to wait for more conclusive proof. Who knows? they might be cancelled or not. 17:48, June 21, 2011 (UTC)

Completely Understandable! I uploaded the image so you guy can use it where ever you see fit. Oh and nice getting back to me so soon.

MortalWizard 17:54, June 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * The image doesn't work, but I've seen the video, they spelled Saibot "Saibott". Also, I haven't seen anything completely official in terms of Mortal Kombat saying it so that's why we want to wait. -- AZERUTH 18:00, June 21, 2011 (UTC)

Here is the image 18:28, June 21, 2011 (UTC)

Amount of character DLC?
Is there an amount of characters for Mortal Kombat DLC? I heard there's 2 slots for DLC characters and by this I thought you can only download 2 characters. This would be problematic for me as I plan on buying Rain and everything in the season pack, but not Skarlet (and possibly not Kenshi.) So can I download all the characters and not just 2 like I'm lead to believe?

Goji73 20:10, June 26, 2011 (UTC)

You obviously don't see how this works. Why in the hell would they make you only buy 2? Thats unheard of, and just stupid overall. -- Byakuya TALK 17:54, June 28, 2011 (UTC)

Versus screens
I know we're in the middle of DLC hype (currently, Kenshi), but... is it just me, or the versus screens look completely off most of the time? I mean there are couple of nice ones like Skarlet and Scorpion, for example, but in my opinion the majority of the versus screens are anatomically wrong, shaded and textured like dolls rather than living beings, and they are sadly, ugly. I think the Armageddon vs screens were much better: dynamic poses, nice profiles and quite a good understanding of the 3D. But in MK (2011), it's like paper dolls mashed together from parts, sometimes the hands, the chest and the face are not even in the same plane/from the same view. They just feel weird imo. Furthermore, sometimes the faces are really unattractive as well, like Sonya, Jax, Kung Lao, Nightwolf, Ermac and Sheeva, just for example. Even Quan Chi's head has a really weird shape to begin with. What do guys think? --''Notanmkfan. I hate fatalities, X-rays and stuff.'' 21:26, June 27, 2011 (UTC)

I have no idea what you're talking about, they all look fine to me-- 18:21, June 28, 2011 (UTC)

First of all, it would be appreciated if you could sign your post. (Now it's like a sentence out of blue.) On a second note, I don't think I can explain it more than I did before: they seem unrealistic, their skins are polished like plastic, and the facial expressions are ugly. It's clearly not the work of the same staff as it was in Armageddon, because here the characters don't feel to be real. It's like they're just 2D rendered figures turning their face to us, but if you could turn them around, they wouldn't be real bodies. I don't know the cause of it, because the models are nice. But when I first saw the versus screens, I was like 'ouch, that's awful'. And my opinion is the same now as well, I was just interested if others had the same view or not. -- ''Notanmkfan. I hate fatalities, X-rays and stuff.'' 17:48, June 28, 2011 (UTC)

oops, my bad. Anyway, I'm just saying that I'm not seeing any of the things that you are describing. I personally think they look perfectly fine and are actually a step-up from the VS screens in Armageddon-- 18:21, June 28, 2011 (UTC)

Well, OK, thank you for the answer. Maybe I can conclude something after other comments - if there will be any. -- ''Notanmkfan. I hate fatalities, X-rays and stuff.'' 18:44, June 28, 2011 (UTC)

It think you should have used a blog for this. 18:46, June 28, 2011 (UTC)

Well, I'm quite unfamilar of blog system of the wikia, so that was no option for me. And it's a general talk about the game, or at least a part of it. Why do you think it's inappropriate here? -- ''Notanmkfan. I hate fatalities, X-rays and stuff.'' 19:20, June 28, 2011 (UTC)

Because Talk pages are meant for discussing issues that pertain to the page, while blogs are for normal discussions-- 19:36, June 28, 2011 (UTC)

Ehh, that makes sense, though it was not evident - I mean it really says 'Talk: Mortal Kombat (2011 video game)'. But it's fine with me, admins can delete it, thank you for the info. End of discussion. -- ''Notanmkfan. I hate fatalities, X-rays and stuff.'' 19:43, June 28, 2011 (UTC)
