Liu Kang Wins

His HERIOCS will always be remembered. Typo on the ending screen, good job.

It wasn't as easy to beat the game with him as I imagined. Fighting against him and remembering him from MK4, I somehow got an impression he's gonna be way OP.

 

Raiden Wins

I already beat the game with Raiden a while ago but I couldn't be bothered to post it. I started this blog at a time when I was between jobs and doing some work from home. Soon after that I got a new job and now I work there for 13 hours a day so it's really hard to find time for gaming. I started playing MK in the end of April and I'm progressing through it at a snail's pace. I already kinda regret choosing such a hard game to be the first one to beat. Honestly, I expected it will take me about a week to get through it. Oh how wrong I was. And even when I finally beat MK1, it's time for Mortal Kombat 2, a game infamous for it's unfair AI that features even more characters. YAY! So it looks like I'll only be playing Mortal Kombat this year. But make no mistake, I am not giving up and I'll do my best to continue on this gaming journey.

I thought Raiden cared for Earthrealm and humanity. What an asshole! Raiden winning the tournament is actually the worst case scenario for us. 

Raiden was pretty fun to use, mostly for his teleport and torpedo. He is not as overpowered as I thought he will be and it was hard to beat the game with him.  Next up is Liu Kang!

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
