    Mortal Kombat

    Game » consists of 26 releases. Released Apr 19, 2011

    One of the goriest fighting game franchises returns to its roots, introducing a new story that re-tells the events of the first three Mortal Kombat games (with a unique twist).

    90's slang phrase with the word "cool." Oh, and Sub-Zero Kombos

    Every joke I could think of for the thread title seemed way too obvious so I tried to be meta. Or is it self-aware?


    Anyways, I already did Ryu so I figured I'd do Ken as well. Or is Scorpion Ken and Sub-Zero Ryu? In any case, after staying up all night watching Tom Brady's amazing space control at PowerUp I wanted to figure out how to maximize damage as Sub-Zero. He may lack pressure options but Iceball pressure while hiding behind Ice Clones should be enough to open up most opponents for some punishment. If the enemy makes 4 mistakes, they're done.
      

    So I've never been a fan of using popular characters in fighting games, especially not marquee characters. In SSFIV I've always leaned heavily on Rose and Dhalsim while in MvC3 my favorite team is Haggar/Deadpool/Anchor(currently Dormammu). The closer we get to PSN coming up, however, the more certain I'm becoming that Sub-Zero and Scorpion are going to be my go-tos. Depending on my mood I can go mixup crazy or troll with endless zoning. I'm getting really excited to hop into ranked mode. Maybe when the time comes, I'll start a new MK video series tracking my progress. Or something.

    Anyways, I better get to bed since it's 4 AM again o_O and I need to wake up in the morning to call MadCatz and bitch at them about the Fightpad I just bought not working aergh! Well, if you have a moment please check out the Whiskey Media fighting game community channel on youtube, send us a message, leave us a comment, thumb up some of our videos and please please please subscribe. I'll be back Monday with some more Kontent for you guys to consume.

    Watching that only made me realize how bad I am in the game by comparison.

    Seriously. I'm getting my ass kicked hard in the three Shao Khan Challenge Tower fight. This game gets impossible.

    I beat Shao Khan in the story mode but I think that was a fluke. I'm not even managing to get past one of these guys.

    Your skills continue to impress. Starting to feel like I'll never be good enough to take on players who know what they're doing, though the game is still to much fun to stop playing.

    Wow, I never even thought of comboing that punch/ice sword followed by the ice blast.  I need to play some more of this...and think more about combos.

    3 Shao Kahn's!! Holy shit that is insane. I just finished the story mode yesterday and found Raiden vs Shao Kahn tricky enough as it was. If you manage to beat that I'll be in awe of you.

    @Jeffsekai I'm pretty happy with the symbolism since the whole reason I'm making these videos is because PSN is down.

    i pretty much spammed Raiden's teleport and flying move just to beat him. not sure if that would work on three of them though D:
