Mortal Kombat Honest Trailer

Mortal Kombat X Announcement Trailer

Mortal Kombat X announcement trailer looks pretty badass except for very questionable music choice that feels totally out of place and destroys the atmosphere. I doubt that it shows an actual gameplay footage but I hope they can make it look as close to that as possible. It seems like stages will dynamically change based on the characters fighting.

I really need to get on with my Mortal Kombat 1 playthrough because at this rate, Mortal Kombat X will come out before I beat the first game.

Sonya Wins

"Hold the pose while I take the photo"

In the earlier post I said that I'm not looking forward to playing as Sonya because her special move is a throw and AI always throws faster. I was wrong.  Her leg grab is very effective against AI and I ended up liking her very much. At a time I recorded  the playthrough I wasn't confident enough to use her flying punch but later on I added it to my bag of tricks. Wow, I'm playing this game for over a month now. Gotta step it up a bit and finish it fast. 

Sub-Zero Wins

I got a new job (working 12 hours a day) so I don't have much time for gaming anymore. I will still try to continue with this tho.

That awkward moment...

Sub-Zero Playthrough

I used up all the credits again but with Sub-Zero I beat the game on the second try.
 

Kano Wins

wow, Kano killed Mortal Kombat

I didn't like playing as Kano that much. His spinning attack was kinda awkward to pull off fast on keyboard during the action (I imagine it is really easy to do with a controller or a fightstick) so I didn't use it much in later stages. It's a shame since it can be really punishing timing based attack.

Kano playthrough 

Sub-Zero coming up next, this should be a piece of cake

Johnny Cage Playthrough

Yesterday I found out that DOSBox has a record feature so I beat the game with Johnny again and made a video. Yeah I know, I abused jump kick a lot, especially during later stages and I needed all 4 credits to do it. Kano playthrough coming soon.

Johnny Cage Wins

YES! Finally! It took longer time than I anticipated and a lot of frustration but I finally beat the game with Johnny Cage. Only 6 more characters left to go...YAY! Ugh...I already kinda regret choosing this game to be the fist one to beat. It's pretty damn hard. I play up to 5 matches per day with pauses between them because I start to rage and lose all focus after failing a few times in a row. Getting through endurance stages where you have to fight 2 opponents in a row with the same health bar is the hardest part of the game. I have no trouble with the end bosses. I just wish I could start with endurance matches right away because beating all the other fighters before feels like a time wasting chore with no risk involved.

*cough* MK Annihilation*cough* 

Kano is the next character I'm gonna use and I think this time it'll go faster. On my first playthrough with him I got to the final endurance stage without even knowing how to do his special spinning attack.
