TheProphet, GGs my friend. Give'em Hell.
MKDA's was good due to the mutiple scenes, and lots of background info. This was a negative for me in both MKD's and MKSM's, that although fantastic, they left out too much by focusing on the one scene - I mean in MKD, where was the scene of Kung Lao, Jax, Sonya, Cage, Kitana etc. getting beat down by the DA?
Anyways, if I were too pick one of the 3, I'd go with Shaolin Monks. It is the one that left me with the most shocked impression, and most importantly - they really brought back so much nostalgia from MK1.
The best bits:
- The MK scream (though they shoulda used the one from the original MK1 commerical.
-All the fights going on simultaneously
-Liu Kang bike kicking off the guard's staff
-Shang morphing into Kano and using the cannonball
-KUNG LAO's ENTRANCE! (Honestly, how cool was that?)
-evil original Sub Zero kicking ass, then ripping out the guard's spine, then using it to smack Scorpion - lol.
-Shang using Scorp's toasty fatality
-Liu's flying kick (only cus that's how he supposedly beat Shang, according to the MKII intro)
- Goro's entrance, the fact that he is finally portrayed as being absolutely HUGE, and his subsequent laying the smack down on everyone.
So yeah, MKSM was my fave, but I really liked MK4/G's as well. It's so understated, but with the Wind Realm being one of my fave stages in the game, combined with Raiden's great speech and the pouring rain + lightning, really makes it a cool intro - really captured the theme of the game. Oh, and I like how it's only slightly adapted from the MKMSZ intro as well
Where can I find the MK4 intro?
In the PSX or PC versions of MK4, or in MK Gold
Nah, I'll look around - most sites have the endings for DL but not the intro movie...
Where can I find the MK4 intro?
Here is the FMV intro of MK4/MKG and here you can get the real-time intro of N64's MK4.
As for the topic, my choice is the MK:D's intro. I was disappointed when I saw the quality of MK:DA's intro, 'cause I was hoping to see intro of Tekken FMVs quality for example, but unfortunately it was far from it. However, I was pleasantly surprised when I saw MK:D's intro. Just take a look at both intros and compare Shang Tsung characters. Moreover, Deception's intro has this intimidating feeling, which has surrounded you since the first shots and the words: "Raiden's Earthrealm champions had failed to stop the Deadly Alliance...". It was a nice turn after watching MK:DA's endings. There are other advantages of this intro, too. For instance: action of the 'Raiden vs Deadly Alliance' fight and this invulnerable image of Onaga. It was a pleasure to watch that intro, especially because I didn't want to and hadn't seen it until the game came out. And it's still a pleasure to watch it from time to time.
But I like other intros, too. MK:DA's has a good story (famous Liu Kang's plot turn) and MK:SM is all about the nice action. I have to mention Kung Lao's entrance, too. It was really cool combined with the announcer saying his name.
And what the fuck. How the hell Shang Tsung gonna get his ass back up after Quan Chi killed him. These muthafuckas don't know how to die.
