I was looking at some pics of the MKDA characters and realised that they could utilise their accessories into Kombat. Basically, they could use them to block attacks without receiving damage, however these would be cut or damaged rendering them useless so you’d have to block normally again. Also, in the case of Sub-Zero and Frost, you can use a special block which uses your powers to guard damage.

Kung Lao could use his hat as a weapon thanks to the rim and he could use it to block weapon attacks without receiving damage.

Raiden could use his hat to block whilst Sub-Zero and Frost create a temporary ice barrier to prevent block damage and maybe even attack damage.

Imagine Kenshi tying the bandana around his eyes around your own during a throw rendering your character blind for a bit. When you attack their attack isn’t direct and you miss without careful aiming.

Jax could use his gun, but if it gets cut in half that special move cannot be used again.

Your thoughts?

Bad ass idea. I love it. I'll think of unique things the characters could do to do this style of blocking. Another great idea that would fit well into MK.

LOL. Well as usual great ideas. The only thing I'm kinda iffy on is Sub and Frost? Would they be able to do this indefinitely? Or would there be some kind of limit? Because if not then they could basically block to hearts content and never take any damage whatsoever. However if it is a limited ability then it is a very good idea.

That's pretty cool. For Sub-Zero and Frost could freeze their arms with a thick gauntlet of ice so they could block with their hands. Obviously when they got shattered Sub-Zero and Frost would be in pain for a short time and couldn't use it agin.

Now see that fixes the whole problem. It will be good while it works but it would come with a price. I like this alot.

LOL. That's great. I would LOVE to see Sindel stop a projectile or attack with her hair. That would be cool.

I like this idea too! And in answer to your question TomTaz, yes there would be a limit! Not taking any damage at all would be really cheap!

TomTaz wanted to know how I'd stop Sub and frost from using the special block all the time. Well, remember the ice bar in MK Mythologies? They'd have that. Using the special block would set it to refill. Until it's refilled, they cannot use the special block again! When they use the special block again, it will recharge once more. However, using their special block does not prevent them from using their special moves.
