Why do they all look like Goro in Kitana's ending? Kintaro anyone? that was just lazy and forgetful for Midway to do.

Mightn't be because they are Goro?

You take this story way too seriously, and you dont know it well enough to. you know bits and peices of the mk story and assume the rest, very ignorant.

How do you know theyre not relatives of Goro? like brothers, brothers look the same. Or maybe they have a system sort of like monks, most monks look alike. Or even how do you know that the shokan race isnt like Dogs where when they breed they usually have many babies that look exactly the same? You need to learn not to knock something that you CLEARLY DONT UNDERSTAND AT ALL

Oh ok I guess it's my fault for not understanding why Shokans look all the same especially since you don't even know why they all look the same either and act like you're defending the other side. Please people, if you have an answer and not some mumbo jumbo fanboy explanination tell me.

I'm not an anti-MK person, I like MK so I don't know why you are getting midway on me.
There is that brothers thing, but also I guess, as they were pushed for time, creating new models for all the shokan that were present in all of those endings, would really be wasted time, as the main thing in those endigs, is what the main character is doing.
So using the Goro models, lets us know that they are shokans, and lets us concentrate on what's really important.
But I also agree with the brother thing grin.

Yes, that's right im getting "all fanboy on you". Excuse me for disliking pesimist people. You supposedly like mk so why has every post ive seen you make you were bitching about how bad it is?

But I guess from me pointing out the obvious, im a fanboy, eh? alright then.

They are just shokans that look like Goro, nothing more, nothing less. They could be brothers, relatives, or just creatures THAT ARE from the same family (shokans) who look alike.

There are three rules for doing scientific research. Unfortunately, no one knows what they are.

I agree, the Shokan in DA look suspiciously like Goro. That they are his relatives would be a nice excuse but you have to admit that it's more logical that Midway didn't feel like creating original new types (for whatever reasons they had).

By the way, I don't see anything wrong with criticising MK! The starter of this topic (forgot the name, sorry) did certainly not deserve to be flamed. Being an MK fanboy doesn't equal trying to find a storyline excuse for mistakes Midway make (although it can be an entertaining thought excercise ;))!

Peace,

Goro was a General in the Shokan Army...so for other Shokan to look like him would mean that they are also part of that Army...that and I doubt that Midway had the time to make a diverse Shokan outing smile

Nuff said.
