So...here's a few things I'd like to talk about before I try reading the story mode stuff and melt my brain.

- Sektor is the Grandmaster's son.

- Smoke has a human name now. He's...um...Russian? Prague's in the former Soviet Union, right? What are people from Prague called?

- Kano's backstory seems to have been partially merged with Hsu Hao's?

- Ermac's souls are all from Edenia now. I told you all Drahmin could never be Jerrod. I should've guessed the reason would be that, because Kahn killed Jerrod, Jerrod's soul would be one of the ones inside Ermac. I feel stupid for never thinking of that myself.

- Kabal apparently left the Black Dragon a good chunk of time before MK3 and worked as a cop with Stryker. Huh. That's weird.

- Sheeva and Sindel: "Until Sindel's mysterious death in Earthrealm." Buh? Sindel was the reason Shao Kahn couldn't travel to Earth? I thought that was supposed to be the Elder Gods' doing. I'm not sure I like that, because then it makes you ask "Well didn't Edenia have an MK tournament too? Didn't LOTS of realms have MK tournaments? What was stopping Kahn from just invading all those times?" Or are we now saying that only Earth ever had the tournament? 'Cause that would be new.

- Kintaro: So to explain his looks, they introduced an ethnicity-based caste system into the Shokan. Awesome, always wanted to see something like that. Also, lol at the terms "draco" and "tigrar".

- Kitana finds out her true backstory DURING MK2 instead of before now. Eh, I guess it serves well enough. Makes the telling of a story more interesting to SEE it happen.

- Nightwolf: So...not a historian at all anymore, huh? Now he really is an ancient Indian man. Lovely. Cool though the way they're referencing something Mythologies first suggested: that Raiden is in fact every thunder god in human myth, we all just worshipped him under different names.

- lol @ Havik and Seido references.

- Sektor and Jax were at the MK1 tournament? I call bullshit!

- Sonya's all about daddy issues all of a sudden. Umm...not a fan.

- "Another mystery is the sorcerer's involvement in the Mortal Kombat tournament. The Netherrealm has no stake in its outcome, which leads some observers to question his presence..." lol, Quan's own bio asks the same question the people who don't want him to be in the game are asking.


I love how the chose a name off of mk conquest for smoke.Really liked the havik refrence for noob,im also iffy on the sonya thing. Also don't worry,you were not alone on the ermac bit.

Damn! I peaked in on a couple.. How reliable is this stuff anyhow? I would have thought that WB would have covered their shit better, considering the other recent demo related nonsense. Oh well. I will read no further. I want to feel the full impact of the game the way it was intended by NRS. Hopefully I can hold onto that thought for the next 40 days.

text I recall fom that document (im dead tired, could be WAY off)

Cy-Sub "why was I created?"

Sek: "to better serve the Lin Kuei"

I dont see that being part of any non-canon "what if". I guess time will tell, I personally dont wanna know anymore, I need to stop coming in here.


Still entirely plausible it is the body of the older Sub-Zero. If he was actually turned into a cyborg in the canon, you'd think the endings would at least reference it but there is nothing at all there.

Jade's background story has finally been revealed, however quite a simple one it is. Her ending seems still quite mysterious to me... I wonder who that woman possessing her is.

Oh, and I love Kitana's ending. Kitana, Mileena and Jade fighting together as a team... Can anyone say Charlie's Angels? XD

Werewolves existed WAAAAAY before Twilight and have always been badass!
Besides, Twilight doesn't have real werewolves, just native americans who can turn into their totem animal which is a wolf. A big one at that, but still just a wolf. Even Nightwolf can do that... Animality! ;)

Kinda hating myself for reading but there isn't anything TOO BIG spoiled here, most of it has been speculated upon for ages and Cyber-Zero was spoiled in the achievements shit.

Story mode is sounding fucking awesome and I am loving everything about Smoke, from his backstory, to his ending, to his gruesome sounding fatality.

Can. Not. Wait.

As for Cyber-Zero, is it possible the Lin Kreu created him as a substitute for Sub-Zero after he left them? Guess we'll have to find out.

Also, surprised to see Nightwolf's chapter is the pen-ultimate in the story mode. Like, really surprised. Maybe they pull a massive swerve and have him as a big game changer in the story.

Smoke sounds awesome. Cyber Sub is canon and I bet it is the old bofy of Bi-Han and Ermac is King Jerrod


But one thing is really good. NO fucking Human Sektor for real

Pretty much the entire story is in the text file, only a matter of time before someone formats and posts it. I'm still really depressed this leak came out. There have been leaks in MK history, but I think this one takes the cake. Very disappointing this couldn't have been kept under the mat just a little longer.

Aww dammit. Story Mode starts with Kahn vs. Raiden during Armageddon, as expected, and then flashes back to MK1 Raiden...but they're already on the damned island listening to Shang give his beginning-of-the-tournament speech. No boat scenes! Disappointment.

I'd like to see a list of stage fatalities if it's possible and anyone can make it happen.

Just watch the first movie. Then you'll have a pretty good idea of what's happening. ;P

Totally. I mean, just from the small portion I read, I like what I'm seeing for the most part, but I was really hoping we'd get the boat scene and a similar intro like the first movie.

Prague is the capital of the czech republic. Someone from there is simply called Czech. Formally czechoslovakia until the soviet union collapsed, then split into czech republic and slovakia.
