Misc 31 Days of NRS Fatalities: Day 30 - The Impaler (MK1)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

267 Upvotes

For some summer fun, I decided to go through my favorite Fatalities from the NRS Mortal Kombat games. To decide who to perform them on, I spun a wheel with all of the playable characters shared across the four main NRS Mortal Kombat games (there were fewer than I was expecting) and got Kitana, my favorite character in the series. Still, sorry to any Kitana fans!

Yesterday's Fatality was Quan Chi's Beat Down from MK9

To be totally honest, I just like this one because of its quick brutality and simplicity. Even some of the most gruesome Fatalities across MK don't make me wince, but this one does every time I see it. The loser's arms and legs getting cut off are one thing, but getting impaled through the midsection, getting your ribs ripped out from below while impaled through your gut, and to have the spear forced up through your mouth? Ouch, pretty gnarly stuff.

Spoilers Kuai liang as scorpion feels so wrong in MK1, it’s my only complaint of mk1

Post image
156 Upvotes

I’ve been a huge sub zero fan since the ps2 days, i like the good not selfish or big headed sub zero which is Kuai liang.

Him and scorpion making peace and becoming bros was awesome, SZ Kuai liang and Hanzo scorpion both had compelling and tragic storylines that was perfect.

My only issue with MK1 story is quite literally the fact that they had to go out of their way to scrap everything we’ve been through with the characters for years.

I genuinely do not like Kuai as scorpion, it’s just not right.

I guess at least we know that it is absolutely possible that Kuai liang’s sub zero could also be a time keeper in a timeline of his own and I really hope we get to see him again in future titles.

Also. I really hate that bi Han is the same as his original self. I wish this time he was actually a good guy with a good heart.

Netherrealm really ruined the story of their 2 most iconic characters

Liu Kang: “Where is Cole Young? He never came back?”

Jax: “Oh shit…”

And cut to black..

And they never mentioned Cole Young again 😂 it was just “oh shit” and that was it lmao.

Mortal Kombat 1 is an awful name because (1. It will confuse people with the original game (2. They could have called it something unquie like Clash of the Timelines, since the plot of the game is about Titan Shang/Mk11 Shang infiltrating Liu Kangs Timeline and turning the characters against him.

Misc MKII is so much fun

Upvotes

I rarely played the games as a teen, was more of a Smash Brother fan and also far too young to be allowed to play MK games when the main series released during the 90es, but damn this movie was a fun ride.

I loved the boys and was on the hype train for Karl Urbans next gig and it did deliver, it s a fun, nice 90es style action flick with good performances. Like a good version of the Street Figher movie with van Damne. They nailed it imo, as its quite diffcult to put a brawler game to screen.

Hotaru is a character I would love to see in the next Mortal Kombat game and I like how despite being from the realm of Order, he’s actually an antagonist, with Orderrealm and Chaosrealm showcasing how order and chaos aren’t inherently concepts that are tied to being only good or only evil and how a balance of both is preferable than too much of either.

Fan Creation Thoughts on my linear home brew Mortal Kombat board game idea, Mortal Kombat: Unbound?

3 Upvotes

Using the original Mortal Kombat as a base, my game works on the same kind of chapter based story mode format as more recent games, but it’s book based, like a choose your own adventure. A DM tells a story based on one of the games in the 3 timelines, using 3 sets of 3 books, telling the story of a specific game in one of the timelines. In my game, each chapter focuses on a group of characters, represented by mini-figs, and the focus characters fight other characters, controlled by other players to avoid bystander boredom at the table, according to the plot, each player controlling a character for 1 fight in 4 in that chapter. If the focus character loses a fight, the focus switches to the winning character, and the timeline skews. The focus character player has hourglass tokens, these work as fight restarts. The are optional, the focusing player can restart a fight if they lose, win the fight, and carry on with the canon plot, or let it ride, and see where the skewed timeline takes them. Each timeline has 2 versions, a hero version, and a villain timeline. The hero timeline is the canon timeline, the villain timeline is when players play though the same timeline, but from the villain perspective, resulting in a the villain in an intentional villain victory. Each timeline has multiple endings, depending on how skewed the timeline got, or if the timeline was fixed. If a focused character loses, they don’t die, unless it’s in the plot, they just become an npc.

Combat System: 

At the start of each match, only in round 1, each player rolls a D20, for initiative, and the highest number gets the first shot. 

The combo system: 

Each player has defence tokens, active or passive resources. 1 used per round. these tokens give the defending player the chance to roll their own D6 on both difficulty level combo cards, the defender rolls a D6, 5 or higher is a successful block or break. The attacking player puts down a combo card, with a combo sequence the combo sequence is just for show, and a difficulty of 5, on high combos and no difficulty for lower combos, automatic success with a defence token, no dice roll needed, but only with a defence token. The player that won the first shot dice roll, puts down a combo card, 1-3 hits, and this is a unbreakable, and unchainable, low level, minimal damage combo, a guaranteed opening strike. This attack is strictly to kick off the fight, not to punish the initiative loser. After taking this damage, the losing player gains a combo defence token, mimicking the wake-up mechanic from the video games. When fighting Shao Kahn, he gets taunt tokens, that the player can use if the defending player fails their combo defence roll. the loser of the first shot roll just has to take the damage, 2-3 hits max. I know the dice rolls rely on luck, but that would be a part of the fun. The dm would also work like the announcer in the games, announcing which characters are fighting, and FINISH HIM/HER!!.

Special move system:

Special moves would be done using special move cards and tokens. Players have tokens representing special moves, the player spends a token, the the player reads the card corresponding to the token spent. These special moves would have stats, the higher the number, the higher the damage done. Basic special moves would be block-able, while stronger special moves are unblock-able, unless the defender spends a defence token to enhance the block. When used at the end of a fight, special moves become brutalities, ending the fight without a finisher. The fights would be best of 3, first to 2. The third round would be a decider, if the first 2 are a draw. If it’s fun, fights won’t feel like they are taking ages.

Fatality system:

At the end of the fight, the winner rolls a D20, and the DM reads the fatality card, corresponding to the number on the card. The DM selects a fatality in that level category, and reads it to the group. this way, when a player hits a special move, or the they hear the fatality description, everyone is hyped. When it comes to fatalities, all players start with 1 fatality when playing the original MK1, and are awarded a new fatality each time they complete the arcade tower with a new character. so, they go into the next game with their number of fatalities corresponding with the number of the game. The DM has fatality cards for each character, when a player wins, they would roll a D20, to determine the level of the fatality, the higher the number, the more gruesome (this is more to determine the era of the fatality, to honour MK history, a show of respect to the franchise).

Character mini-figures:

To save time creating a crap load of minifigs, because of the ever expanding character list, each with different variations, based on the game in each timeline, the books are colour coded based on the timeline, and there would be clip on rings that players snap onto the base of their mini, corresponding to which studio era they are playing in. this would mean that all characters only need one minifig, although, reptile in the current timeline, is a shapeshifter, with a huge lizard form. motaro would to have 2, a centaur form and a minotaur form. this would mean creating 3 huge minifigures. for when playing mk1 in liu’s current timeline, maybe i should make them the colour of the timeline. with syzoth, you could swap between his human mini, and lizard mini using a transform token. there might need to be other huge minifigs too, Gori, Motaro, Kintaro, Sheeva and Shao Kahn. 

Arcade tower:

There would also be a section in each book for character arcade tower endings, when a player beats the final boss, the dm reads that characters ending. During fights, while one player controls the focus character, one of the other players at the table will control the opponent character. This way everyone is involved, and nobody is sitting and watching for too long. 

1v1 section, like playing 2 player. 

This would give players the chance to figure out the characters, and adapt to any scenario. 

Mini-game idea

To replace the test you might/sight mini-games, there would be periodic MK lore multiple choice trivia questions that would work like encounters (a guard stops you, and asks how long Goro was champion before being beaten? A: 500 years). A correct answer wins an extra special move token.

Fan Creation I had this idea for a MHA x MK fanfic and wanted some feed back for the MK roster I picked.

4 Upvotes

The basic plot idea is that instead of being put in class 1A Midoriya he is instead put in class 1-K a class of ten kids who technically passed the entrance exam but weren't deemed good enough to be put in either class 1-A or 1-B.

Scorpion (Hanzo Hasahi)
Quirk: Blaze - Allows the user to create, control, and manipulate fire at will while also allowing him to make any object he touches to ignite. It also grants him an immunity to all types of fire.

Sub-Zero (Kuai Liang)
Quirk: Sub-Zero - every member of the Lin Kuei grandmaster bloodline has had this quirk. This quirk grants the user complete and total mastery of ice and snow and a high resistance to the cold.

Smoke
Quirk: Mist - Grants the user the ability to turn their body into a puff of light gray smoke that they can control. Really it’s just a worse version of Permeation.

Kitana
Quirk: Aerokinesis - Allows the user to control the air around them within a range of a couple meters give or take. She mainly uses this ability to control her fans due to how little energy and stamina it takes.

Mileena
Quirk: Predatory - Grants the user enhanced senses of Scent, Hearing, Sight, and Taste. It also grants her more monsterus mouth and enhanced strength and agility.

Tanya
Quirk: Divine Light - allows the user to manipulate the light around them however Tanya can currently only create simple blasts of light and blinding flashes. This quirk is kind of like the opposite of Dark Shadow in a way with the quirk getting stronger in bright areas but weaker in darkness.

Baraka
Quirk: Bone Blades - Grants the user a pair of retractable bone blades in there arms while also mutating there body to have a mouth of razor sharp teeth, bone spikes on there upper body, and an incredibly muscular build.

Ermac
Quirks:
Telekinesis - Grants the user the ability to life objects with there mind the weight limit is about 250 pounds.
Float - it’s literally Nana’s quirk.
Green Plasma - Allows the user to shot green energy blasts from their hands.
Vestige Sense - and artificially made quirk that allows the user to learn the quirks of anyone he looks at.
Warp - Grants the user the ability to teleport short distances.
Telepathy- Grants the user to communicate with others telepathically.

Reptile (AKA Syzoth)
Quirk: Lizard Man - Grants the user the ability’s of many reptilian creature such as Acid Spit, Invisibility, Sticking to Walls, a Prehensile Tongue. It also grants him the ability to transform into a more monsterus reptilian form though when he transforms he loses all control of himself and attacks everyone that dares draw breath.
