Hello there,

I've not been on the site for ages, in fact I don't even play video games anymore as a rule, but occasionally the following idea for MK:A's plot comes up in my head and wishes to be told to someone. So, let me know what you think.

As an alternative to the rather bizzare Blaze storyline, MK:A's plot could have run roughly as follows. Building off of MK:D, Onaga successfully intiates the process whereby the Kamidogu begin to merge. As a consequence of this, the various Realms also begin to merge, and slow chaos ensues. the Netherrealm expands into the other realms, thus releasing many condemned/defeated villains. In effect the entire (MK) Universe is thrown into disorder and conflict. Somehow one's character must navigate through it.

This idea presented itself to me as a very likely path for the plot to take when we first heard about MK:A's character roster, and it still seems to me a far superior storyline than the one which was ultimately developed. This would have explained the presence of characters such as Shinnok, Sheeva and so forth, and the chaos of the realms merging -- or, rather, colliding -- would have created interesting possibilities. Conceivably Onaga would have once again been the final boss, albeit in a much altered form; perhaps the One Being would have been regaining consciousness and overpowering the Dragon King's individuality, and we would have had to confront a "transformed" Onaga.

Your thoughts?

This plot concept is great and a better substitute to that clunky storyline presented in MKA. I find MKA's story to be just too absurd to be believable. Also, next time, they should put in some cinematics for each of the characters after every arcade fight like what they do in Tekken and more coherent cutscenes, instead of the characters performing some crappy kata. Put some real substance behind every character's storyline. Chameleon's story in the kata sequence that he was in the tournament during MK II is just plain lamesad
