i mean it can come in the future stage fatalities arrived late after mk11 release at the same time of friendship

I’ll give you an even more interesting fact - MK1 is the only MK game where you cannot interact with the environment in any way whatsoever.

MK - stage fatality

MK2 - stage fatalities

MK3-MKT - stage transitions & stage fatalities

MK4 - stage interactables & stage fatalities

MKDA - stage interactables

MKD - stage interactables, stage transitions, stage weapons & death traps

MKA - stage interactables, stage transitions, stage weapons, death traps & stage fatalities

MK Vs DC - stage interactables & stage transitions

MK9 - stage fatalities

MKX - stage interactables, stage brutalities & stage fatalities

MK11 - stage interactables, stage brutalities & stage fatalities

MK1 - nothing

Every MK that has no Pit stage will always be bottom tier to me, even if it's 99% perfect for the rest.

This is what happening when you rush the creation of a game, its going backwards.

Definitely like MK9, MKX and Injustice 2: base roster unlockables. My bet's on Frost.

I'm pretty sure Frost will be the unlockable character since there's no footage of her, beside those few seconds in the story trailer and Shao Kahn will fill the other spot left. There's no reason to deceive ourselves at this point :/

You talking about charcters or cosmetics

As I've said before, Frost will be unlockable.

Shang Tsung and Mileena are debunked as unlockables.

Play as Reptile: At the Character Select Screen, highlight SUB-ZERO then hold "SELECT" before selecting him!

Play as Goro: At the Character Select Screen, highlight JOHNNY CAGE then hold "SELECT" before selecting him!

Play as Shang Tsung: At the Character Select Screen, highlight LIU KANG then hold "SELECT" before selecting him!

Here's the Whole FAQS Chart:

I'll give it a shot:

Total Mortal Kombat Inspiration from Asian Cultures: The first two games were heavily inspired by Asian Martial Arts and had sort of an esoteric or mystical vibe going on. It's nice to see it again.

Not At All Mortal Kombat The Light and Serene Outworld: I have always seen that gritty and dark mood as something very characteristic to the Mortal Kombat series. MKX was like that and even brought along some horror movie guest characters. MK11 not so much, but still very gloomy. In MK1, however, Outworld is so beautiful and colorful that it feels like heaven. It doesn't match a game where dismemberment and gruesome deaths are the main attraction.

New, But So Mortal Kombat Sorry, there's nothing new that worked in this game for me. Kameos are a lame, as if Netherrealm is trying to shove a lot of characters into the game to appeal to fans without putting the necessary effort into it. Many characters, like Sonya, aren't even mentioned in the story and they didn't even bother to create a new costume for the character. Invasion mode could have been great, but they made it so lazily. Lots of grinding and unfunny fights that don't really offer a challenge.

So Mortal Kombat: Stages Justification: The stark contrast in different realms makes it pretty obvious they are MK stages.

Not So Mortal Kombat: Colour Justificaton: Too much pop. A Mortal Kombat game should feel dark and scary with major horror elements, something NRS did great in MK9-MK11. They seemed to abandon it with the new entry.

New but So Kombat: Invasions Justification: I picked this to be controversial lol. It's not perfect at all, in MK1 it sucks ass and they clearly abandoned it shortly after the community feedback. With more time, and a little bit more love it could be a mainstay. Single Player content is something that is what seperates a successful MK game to a dead one. We need more single player content. Invasions would be great if we mixed it with Konquest style open-world, whilst keeping the seasonal kombatant attacking.

✅ Total : FINISH HIM!! Fatalities, Kameo fatalities, Brutalities & Animalties are IMO the best the franchise has ever had. I can finish an opponent roughly 10 different ways with any character. Take that MK Armageddon

❌ Not: I may not be a big enough fan to comment on this but I hate this version of the Shrine. I feel as though I am never pleasantly surprised; I only get Environmetal art and background cards and it just lacks any depth or cool factor to it. Take me back to the Krypt in Deception

✨ New: Floyd!! Not exactly a feature I know but this one character is the stuff legends are made of, I love the hidden secret character ninja callback. The mystique and potential for new lore is what brings me joy ever since the original MK

✅Storytelling, besides Khaos reigns it’s cool to visual see the story like a movie ❌Micro-Transactions, idk what else to choose. I don’t buy them I like the grind & prefer to earn them for free ✨Invasions/Towers of Time, The RPG esc aspect kinda fits considering Konquest mode from the earlier games. Towers of time lets you play towers & gets you rewards what else could you want

Their for Kombat Kodes in MK3 and UMK3

Something like this:

https://www.dsogaming.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Mortal-Kombat-Trilogy-HD-Remakes-screenshots-1.jpg

In 2 player mode on MK3/UMK3 there were 6 space Kombat Kodes that modified the matchup when inputted. MK Secrets has a list of how they were inputted and what each one did.

Wouldn't we all wait? But no. Seeing how far better SF6 and Tekken 8 are going to be had them rush. Genius.

This is the most important feature missing in this brand new fighting game.

As strictly a single player no online, and not someone who will every do those insane multi hit combos, I miss the stage interaction including the uppercut into differnet level, stage fatality, unlocking fatalities when you input them. Saying flawless victory between rounds, now it only says it at the end of match. I don't know about anyone else but I have a huge delay in my controller when entering combos in the tutorial, and even when done correctly, i.e. the moves string matches the demo video still nothing, or how the combo string it wants can't be completed because the opponent has fallen out of the range. I also noticed that the enhanced does not seem to work as fluently as in mk11, and when it does the animation doesn't change. And speaking of tutorials, when you get into the character based ones, first one ok but then it gets into a multi input combo string that even non charcter stage it has a problem properly noting. I forget which game it was but they had something similar, the first few level covered combo specifically for the character and a few special moves and then towards the end it got into the longer combo, this game its like ok stage 1 its a simple 3 input combo, then stage 2 input these 7 commands while juggling the person in the air. And I feel the kameos are way overdone and over used and takes away.

It's weird to list "three line dialogue" as something missing.

1. Yeah, there are some characters that I don't know how to properly use because they're just not explained. Maybe they have a Kombat last but I'd prefer to be able to find explanations in game.

2. Customisation in this game is honestly better in my opinion. There was too much in 11. This simplified way is much better.

3. Three line dialogue isn't really something "missing". They changed it to two lines which provides banter whilst still being short enough to act like a loading screen. What is missing is the option to use them in towers and ranked.

4. That is absolutely something missing that would be useful.

5. Related to point 2, there was too much in 11. And I honestly like the surprise of unlocking new gear pieces. With 11, I'd see a gear that I was like "that's the coolest with this skin, that's what I want" and I've collected so much I just never used. With MK1, I'm changing gear a lot more and using the randomise favourites feature which has worked pretty well for me.

6. Honestly, I can do with or without.

7. See point 1.

8. Loadouts would be nice and more than 5 would be appreciated.

9. There's only so many buttons on the controller. Kameos are better than stage interactables for me since they can be used over and over, whilst most stage interactables were one and dones. They also feel like an expansion of your Moveset rather than "I threw a rock!"

10. Yeah that's just loadouts. You're doubling up points with semantics.

11. This isn't really something missing either. Not every game is gonna have the same amount of characters compared to the previous, especially since this gameplay is a lot more complex than 11s. That being said, Quan Chi and Ermac definitely should've been base with their story importance.

12. Friendships and stage fatalities in 11 and X were also added later with DLC. I feel it'll likely be the same here.

13. Better than Towers of Time.

14. Again see point 3.

15. See point 12

16. Yeah Crossplay should be available at launch with fighting games. Connected with the same player three times last night.

17. Yeah but most games also need QoL updates after the first few weeks as well. 11 needed them too.

They're practically characters themselves with their own back stories as opposed to the usual mundane fighting game stages.

They can even pull off fatalities...

Deception and Armageddon stages have so much unique interactables and are as important as the playable characters in terms of gameplay, I really wish we'd have 3D gameplay again just because the stages were so incredible with that gameplay style.

Stage fatalities could have looked so epic in MK1. Maybe the next game will see them return.

Stage fatalities + interactions 🤌🏻

Other games from that era (Street Fighter, Fatal Fury etc) tend to have bright stages, often with spectators in the background. MK is a lot darker (both literally and figuratively), and have more creepy things in the background - like the eyes and the skeleton in Goro's MK1 stage, the shadow priests, growling trees, portals ... etc.

People already finished the story mode and unlocked a lot of stuff in the Krypt. The Frozen girl is the only unlockable. She's the only blank slot anyway

The only konfirmed unlockable is Frost, unlocked by beating Chapter 4. If there were any others, they would be leaked by now. Perhaps Cyrax?

cyrax and sektor are unlockable

You can add Sheeva to that list.

While I want there to be, no. The unlockable leak list was debunked the second Shang Tsung was announced as DLC.

Frost is the equivalent of Shinnok in MKX, brainiac in IJ2 and Cyber-sub in MK9.

And that’s it, leaving the kyrpt purely for cosmetics and cool side content.

On a similar note, I was wondering if there was any benefit to going back and re-playing the sections where you can pick your character. Do I get more stuff if I 100% story mode?

Do we have to do it twice like injustice 2 from the different view of characters

I wondering about that cause I don’t mind the grind it’s touch time do it again I just finished yesterday with story mode

I checked my PS4 earlier and yeah it’s it’s like injustice 2 we have go back and do it again

No and yes I'm also missing rewards
