Mortal Kombat Klassic figures by McFarlane Toys

Oh to this day I can’t beat MK2. I get about halfway up the ladder in single play mode and suddenly all of my opponents are attacking me with throws, leg sweeps, jump kicks and they are blocking all of my specials. It’s super annoying.

My games usually ended at Kintaro or Kahn. I rarely was able to beat that one. MK3 (and beyond) was even harder. I don't think I ever legitimately beat Shao Kahn in MK Trilogy.
 
I've beaten the original trilogy of MK games. In some cases a few different times. But I've never been able to beat a -modern- MK game. Ever since controllers evolved and control schemes got way more complicated. I just can't keep track of it all well enough to beat them.

Yeah one of the biggest hurdles in the more recent MK games is the fact that they force players to utilize other characters in order to progress the story. And most of the time they’re not our “mains”

That too. I'm a pretty diehard Scorpion or Sub-Zero guy (yeah, I'm basic and I'm okay with it). The second you've got me playing Raiden, I check out.
 
I was able to make it through the remake that feels new to me, but is from 2011? Damn. I remember there being some parts that really sucked though.

Also one of the biggest obstacles with these games (obviously this has nothing to do with these toys) is that even if you get extra skins or DLC characters, you cannot access those skins in story mode. They are only reserved for ladder challenges and multiplayer towers and it’s kind of bullshit. I don’t want to be forced to grind or wait for drops for new skins just to be forced to play the classic tower modes over and over again. I want to replay the story mode and the dlc campaigns with the new swag. It’s pointless otherwise.

I mean yes it’s obviously weird to play a mortal kombat game as the T-800 or Spawn… but they can’t make an exception for the ninjas in their MK3 costumes??

I mean in the context of story mode since how do you record lines for that and create the setup that would allow for a character like spawn to actually be a main player in the MK universe without creating a myriad of licensing headaches. It’s like what the cast of Fast & Furious movies have to deal with X 1000 since you have all of these competing properties facing of in what is essentially high stakes gladiatorial combat

Just have him standing in the background the whole time, and when it's time to fight Johnny Cage says "my friend here will take care of you." lol

I can agree with it being complicated. But in terms of the basic conceit of the game world, I don't think there's anything weirder about Spawn being in MK than random karate guy or random different karate guy, or undead ninja, or metal-armed soldier guy.

It's about different realms. Anyone could make sense.

We are living in the strangest timeline when it is easier for Spawn to ram up with Batman or other DLC characters in MK11 than it is for Spawn to interact with his fellow image characters

Spawn can't even interact with ANGELA anymore. Hahaha.
 
Yeah it’s so weird. I mean I guess Spawn is technically a Nexus being so he can crossover with whoever or whatever the hell he chooses to. And far be it from me to complain about spawn getting mainstream attention again.

I dunno where this could end up going. There is also the fact that both Ed Boon and Todd McFarlane are peers and they both came up in their respective industries around the same time, so they might be looking to leverage each others brands in some kind of mutual deal. Spawn gets a little more attention in the MK franchise, which helps Ed Boon. And in return, Todd gets a renewed chance at having his characters possibly appearing in their own feature length AAAA game
