DreemerNJ and I have an endless list of goofy names and intentional mispronunciations for things in various games, particularly MK. I'll drop a few:

Liu Kang - Wu Tang

Jax - Blax

Sub-zero - Turkey Sub (when played by John Turk)

Sub-Zero - Kaptain Frosty

Liu Kang - Professor Wutah from the royal university of being an asshole! (When I was younger and hyper, I would shout abuse at the character that was beating me. This applied to all games. I can remember telling the Armadillios that they were F*ckers when they killed me in Crash Bandicoot.)

Shang Tsung - Wang Shun

Raiden - Retarden

Baraka - .B.A. Barakas

Kitana - Kitty

Ermac - Error Mac

Sonya - Sonar (don't ask.)

Reptile - Lizardo



Hey, ]{0MBAT, why is Scorpion's spear called the "Van Damme Spear" in your list? What on earth has that move got to do with Van Damme?

There were so many great names for "combos" from MK and MK2. They'd list a bunch of moves to do in a row that in no way combo and give it a snazzy name. It'd be great to hear what some of those are.

I swear, everyone and their brother called it the "Van Damme Spear" back in the day. But now, I can't even find 1 google match for that phrase.

Was it all a dream? Am I going crazy?

I think I vaguely remember some random magazine saying "Van Damme Spear." Could be my imagination, but when it was brought up in this thread it seemed to trigger some distant memory.

Also I remember an issue of Game Informer that had a MKT move list where they inserted these bizarre names for all the autocombos. Like there was a 3-hit kick combo called "History Lesson." Weird stuff like that, I'll have to see if I can find the magazine.

Why "Van Damme" though? Doesn't that imply that in one of his movies, JC Van Damme threw a spear rope like Scorpion? Somehow I don't see JC doing that.

Going through an old MKT strategy guide (one of two 'OFFICIAL' guides I have, how does that work?) I came across a few:

Sonya Fatality - Squash Orb

Classic Sub Zero Fatality - Stalagmite Stab

Cyrax air throw - Air Run

Ermac TKS - Mind Lift

Jade return boomerang - Second Chance

Jax's dash punch - Bionic Rush (I like that one)

Liu Kang's red bike kick - Super Kick

LK's flame fatality - Mental Torch

Kung Lao's spin fatal - Vaccuum Cleaner

Noob Saibot's cloud fatal - Spirit Spin

Rain's water ball - Mind Control Orb (I prefer this)

Scorpion's multality - The Gathering

Sindel's scream - Wave dizzy

Stryker's gun - The Gat

---

If I find more I'll post 'em.

Characters
------------------------------
Baraka - Barakaraka. Sometimes MK2 will lag and say his name like this.
Ermac - Big Mac
Hsu Hao - Sue Hao
Johnny Cage - Johnny Blaze. I heard this one from my cousin.
Kabal - Jamal
Kenshi - Rurouni Kenshin
Kira - Kia (like the cars)
Noob Saibot - Newb Saibot
Sektor - Hector
Shang Tsung - Shang Tea Sung. This was what I used to call him as a kid until I learned the T was silent, rofl.
Shujinko - Pai Mei

Moves
------------------------------
Cyborg running noises - "Unfamilliar with that."
When some characters get caught by Cyrax's net or other moves - "Whoa not so poppin now whoa hey hey hey!"
Cyrax's Fatality - Hairicopter
Liu Kang's Bicycle Kick - Gobble kick.
Noob Saibot's Disabler - Shadow Freeze
Rain's Roundhouse - Ultra Kick
Raiden's Torpedo - "Johnny bought a car!" or "I'ma gunna die!". It kinda sounds like he's actually saying "Flying Thunder God!" in later games like MK:DA.
Shao Kahn's Hammer - Collar Bone Smasher
Cyborg-Smoke's spear - Cyber-Spear or trident. I really liked this move because it looks different from Scorpion's, and has a nice pull-in sound. I hope they bring it back in MK:A.
Sub-Zero's Shoulder Dash in MK:D - "Hai yong gon zitty!". It sounds like he's saying something in chinese/japanese like that, if anyone can translate, thx.
One of Darrius's moves - "Aheem!"
