I love how controversial Mortal Kombat is for all the various reasons it's inspired anger in people whether for moral, social identity, or nationalistic reasons. the outrage is such a hilarious contrast to the people enjoying it who love it seriously yes, but are fully aware of the tongue in cheek nature of it all. MK basically trolls the self important just by existing

Why all these fucking MK threads lately? Because that collection is coming out?

We all loved it as kids at the time. It was just the same retarded boomers who threw a shitfit about Doom, they saw some clips of digitized sprites doing fatalities and clutched their pearls. They didn't bother learning anything about it beyond that. The infamy just made the games more appealing to kids and teens myself included.

It's funny how the censorship/fun/PC police used to be religious right grannies and soccer moms but now it's liberal late millennial and zoomer that's in their mid to late twenties

Irony is that the term "blue hair" has come to describe both groups

idk what you mean by social identity, and I never heard of people being angry for nationalistic reasons

Yeah I still play all the original Mortal Kombat arcade games with MAME but I'm not buying any other bullshit they come out with. Not until they remove all the ugly gay characters and stupid storyline shit.
>>
>>12131656
MK is still the top two with SF and Tekken is in third place. Nothing else is mainstream popular at all.

And SF is just as woke/Tumblr only difference is they started it first and MK only tried with the most recent game. MK did two things, made Tanya black and made Mileena a gay. SF has more offenses with multiple minority hip hop characters, emo rap Bisons son who's raised by Balrog, 2012 hipster Abraham Lincoln, quirky gay bird man (a big problem with nu SF is the Tumblr humor tone ignoring the edginess of the anime and Alpha 3 that real fans want), empowered sex worker woman, man body wrestling woman, and worst of all TikTok dancing liberal zoomer main character who nobody likes
>>
I always loved MK as a kid because of how cool the characters were. Then I played other fighting games as an adult and realized the MK characters were all kind of assholes. It's hard now to find any to really like because they're all borderline psychopaths. Kenshi's still cool, though.

Those are women, pedo. Ugly rendered women because real actors don't fucking translate to 3D models, but still women. Stop masturbating to children you foreign degenerate. But yeah MK1 sucks nobody cares, this is the Gen X-Millenial board, go back to /v zoomer foreign Faggot. Born in the 80s Americans only

Street Fighter literally has a trans woman character since SFIII
>Only in US gaijing bakoid!
No, in Japan Poison is still trans, just post op
>>
>>12132097
>>12132103
Idk why Asians complain about trannies they literally have bars just for that called "ladyboy" and they're usually underaged because that's legal there, tranny hookers are literally a cornerstone of Asian culture and economy
>>
>>12131867
>It's hard now to find any to really like because they're all borderline psychopaths
Why? Most characters deemed "good" don't even kill or don't do it often. Fatalities are not canon, it's just a game mechanic.

No kill rules are childish anyway, it's why people always relate to anti heroes like Scorpion or Wolverine more than paragons you're meant to look up to rather than relate to. Most people would kill for justice, vengeance, duty, or passion
>>
The real question. What's the better rivalry, Scorpion vs. Sub Zero or Kitana vs. Mileena

You're not American unless you were born here, live in the Midwest, eat cheese without dietary problems, worship Ted Nugent and hate Nirvana, vote right post Bush, and love Mortal Kombat and Twisted Metal

I am, you're not

I'm half European and half Middle Eastern. Specifically Germanic and Phoenician. I might be half white but I'm all American, and all Caucasoid. You're Mongoloid or Negroid and either foreign, coastal (not American), or an immigrant

It's not so much Asians as it is Japanese. China always had a good relationship with the US and most other Asian nations understand that they are subservient to China. Japan has a superiority complex and hates both China and the US passive aggressively

Cool, reads exactly like a /v/ thread, someone post a wojak now

Hot take. MK appealed more to the West simply because everyone was athletic and we don't like diverse body types

I didn't read a single post in this thread. But I'm here. Hey guys, I like Mortal Kombat. The new games are donkey dick DOE

you expect me to read all that shit
>>
>>12133361
Why?

Kung Lao was originally the stoic, cool one while Liu Kang didn't have that distinct of a personality, but he has flashy loud moves and if you go by the movie had a more rebellious attitude

In Shaolin Monks onward, they made Liu the stoic perfect boy and Kung the angsty hot head. I prefer the other way around

MK3 feels Satanic

>>12134067
cause Kitana has no chance when Mileena mogs her so hard all the time
>>
>>12129159
MK had an rad feeling if you were a kid at the time of being something bad and infamous that you probably shouldn't be playing as a child but you were and it was fucking awesome. Just like more adult music and movies, it was almost like a form of rebellion consuming them as a kid and they executed that perfectly, making it all the more appealing. It's hard to explain but if you were a kid at the time the original games were coming out you know exactly what I mean.
>>
>>12129556
That's the one that really riled the boomers up, that's the one they played on the news and at those senate hearings, that and Kanos fatalities. They are the goriest ones in the game but they are so cartoony ny today's standards.

No she doesn't, lmao. She's always getting shit on and left out of games. Fuck that ugly cunt.
>>
>>12132103
Wrong. See >>12134784
>>
>>12134794
Nobody cares about creators canon from a shitty beat em up nobody plays. In SF she's confirmed as canonically "tucking it in" in America and "had it removed" in Japan

Rise of the Triad

It's not. Just a bunch of kids posting the most retarded garbage you can read in a thread made by a spammer.

I liked how it had moody music not typical j jams of funk and jazz
