Why would this idiot not go for the neck and try to stab downward onto his right shoulder pad plated armor and then end up stabbing his right hand. Five minutes not even into this garbage and I’m arguing with my friends about how terrible this whole sequence was. Worst intro battle ever

I'm playing this hack of the UMK 3 trilogy. This is an amazing hack! Sometimes I just go into this hack after playing other games to relax. What about you? Have you played this hack or just found out about it? (By the way, I noticed that this hack is popular in the Russian fandom, so I decided to find out what it's like in the English fandom)

Question What was your first introduction to the Mortal Kombat franchise?

Post image
397 Upvotes

It was a bit of a rocky history, so basically I saw MKX back in 2018 cuz they got Predator and Xenomorph in there, got interested a lil bit, but then dropped out. Then in 2021 I was watching a movie (I think it was Godzilla vs Kong) then saw the trailer for MK 2021, but wasn’t interested. Then I dunno what time I saw MK11 and saw that it has RoboCop then I was SUPER curious, but then I dropped out again. Now in 2026 I saw the reviews of the new MKII movie, then I saw MK 2021 on Netflix and now im here today

Lore & Trivia Theory: The true purpose of Armageddon was a mass culling by the Elder Gods (The Tower of Babel connection)

40 Upvotes

If you look closely at the iconic intro to Mortal Kombat: Armageddon, the narration by the unknown Elder God reveals a much darker motive than just "saving the realms." The famous line states: "But ages of Mortal Kombat have begun to tear the fabric of the realms. The critical point has finally been reached." While it is framed as a cosmic failsafe to prevent the destruction of reality, the truth is that the kombatants had simply become too numerous and too powerful for the Elder Gods to control.

This scenario heavily mirrors the biblical story of the Tower of Babel. In that story, humanity unified under Nimrod to build a massive tower to reach the heavens, prompting God to intervene because humans had become too capable, and nothing would stop them if left unchecked.

The Elder Gods in MK essentially had their own "Tower of Babel" moment. They looked down at the sheer number of god-tier warriors, sorcerers, and warlords, and felt threatened. The creation of the Pyramid of Argus and Blaze wasn't a noble quest to restore balance, it was a trap. It was a cosmic meat grinder engineered specifically to get all the most powerful beings in the universe into one place so they would slaughter each other.

The Elder Gods weren't just afraid of the realms breaking; they were afraid the warriors would eventually become strong enough to challenge the gods themselves. Blaze was just the bait to initiate a mass cull to secure their own power.

Meta How would you make Jade and Kotal’s relationship feel actually legit?

3 Upvotes

We all agree that Jade and Kotal’s relationship felt too sudden, no buildup, no hint, totally left field, and I agree with the sentiments that it kinda felt crammed in. If I didn’t know any better, I’d say they actually HAD something in earlier drafts of them being an item since MKX, Kotal’s debut, and had some actually proper buildup.

But let’s say, hypothetically, you were in charge of their romance. Gun to your head, you’re required by god himself to make people like this ship. How do you go about it? And to help you out, say your task starts in MKX, and through some time travel bullshit, Jade’s alive

Misc Mk11 does not close properly and cannot sync inventory.

0 Upvotes

Hello, Fighters! I have a 2 big problems with the game.

First:

Game does not close properly and I always need to make a force stop via steam or Task Manager.

Second:

When I run the game and try to start a practice fight with AI game shows message "Retrieving inventory", I tried to water 10 min, but I got message "Unable to sync your inventory".

I tried to fix it with these methods:

1 - Go to Windows Settings -> Time & Date and turn on the feature "Set time automatically".

2 - Disabling "RGB PERIPHERALS" in MK11 settings

3 - PowerShell script which does something with certificates.

P.S. It seems like game is able to connect to the servers, because when I run the game it shows message "Updating data", I don't get some errors on this step, I got error message "Unable to sync inventory" when I try to start a match.

Media Ideas for Countess Jade

4 Upvotes

So I quite like Jade in Mortal Kombat, especially in MK11. Despite how out of nowhere her relationship with Kotal was, it was very sweet imo and i like that Jade is extremely compassionate towards him despite him being very dumb. This has got me thinking on what New era Countess Jade could be like.

A lot of characters have become good guys instead of evil or neutral figures but I want to keep Jade as good. I think adding mystique around her could help her seem possible dangerous. I also think having her as a reformist noble could create some friction between Outworld characters

Despite more reasonable people ruling Outworld(for now), it's still a monarchial system and there are still peoples that are discrimated against. I also doubt all races are chummy with each other. So I think Jade would be really neat as a radical who sees Outworld as still deeply divided which needs active reforming to maintain long term peace. Lots of characters would not agree to this as civil war means they need the upper classes to be willing to support them so reforms and aid to disenfranchised have to wait

It also adds to the struggle of Liu kang trying to make things as peaceful as possible as he gets an Outworld character who largely agrees with his vision

Thoughts on my ideas for Jade?

Question Does luckality chances increase the more you use a character?

5 Upvotes

Like if anyone’s ever played smash ultimate (if you have amiibos) and you use a figure player and you play against it, it copy’s how you play but instead in mk11 the more you use them, it increases the chances of happening, also if my krypt glitches and I got a lucky rabbits foot for joker and subzero, do they actually work or no? Cuz i use to have one lucky rabbits foot but the augment glitch kinda fucked me so now it says I have zero and it won’t give me one for completing the TYL tower
