History Of Weapons In The Mortal Kombat Games

by Roy Arkon on Jul 29, 2022 :: 0
The fighting game genre had weapon-based fighting styles being used and showcased across multiple games and across multiple franchises, and the Mortal Kombat franchise is one of them. While it was never a full-on weaon-based series like Soul Calibur or Samurai Shodown, MK had weapons being used for the vast majority of it's games and for a vast majority of characters in the series, with the weapons having their level of usage, visibility and gameplay impact being changed from game to game, and in some cases, from character to character.

In his newest video, Ketchup breaks down everything that weapons have brought to the MK series, from Mortal Kombat II all the way to Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate.

Author's note: Technically speaking, the MK series started to have weapons since Mortal Kombat 1, but it was only with Scorpion and Kano and with only 1 special move each (Scorpion's Spear and Kano's Knife Toss), while MK2 was the game that really gave the signs of things to come for the series as the concept of weapons has been used for more characters and not only way more than just one special move, but Fatalities as well.

Check out the video from Ketchup below, enjoy:

A Hidden Reptile Easter Egg In MK11U (Double Standard)?

by Roy Arkon on Jan 27, 2022 :: 0
The Mortal Kombat franchise is very well known for it's huge amount of secrets and Easter Eggs that were hidden across all of the games in the series. And it seems that yours truly might have just found another one in Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate. And no, I'm not talking about Reptile's cameo in MK11U's Krypt that was already discovered since day 1, I'm talking about a completely different Easter Egg, although it is related to the Krypt in another MK game.

It turns out that in the far left corner of the Prehistoric Age version of the Hourglass Stage, there are several round objects that look like eggs. According to Reptile's Past, which is an Extra that can be found in the Krypt in Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance, the Saurian Race, which is the Race that Reptile comes from, originated from Earthrealm during the time of the dinosaurs, as documented by archives of the Vampire Race which Nitara comes from, before they had to flee to the Realm of Zaterra due to the godly battle between Raiden and Shinnok that caused the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event that wiped out the dinosaurs from Earthrealm.

A Hidden Reptile Easter Egg In MK11U - Double Standard

Since that this stage takes place in the dinosaurs era, this could very well mean that those eggs are actually Saurian Race eggs, with one of them maybe even the one Reptile hatched from. Yes, MKDA and MK11U have been occurred in 2 separated timelines, but there are some events and details that are universal across all the timelines, including the origins of the Saurian Race.

Here is a video from my YouTube channel, highlighting the Saurian Race Eggs. Enjoy. :mrgreen:


So what do you think about these Easter Eggs (double standard)? Let us know in the comments below.
