Despite what everyone says about MK4 I liked it and I still remember all the cutscenes to this day even the Reptile ending. They always do him bad in every game for some reason.
Reptile is the eternal jobber, he reminds me of Scorpion in Marvel, for some reason, they just designated him the universes b***h boy despite him starting as something you'd expect to become a bigger deal. Not quite great for one of the more popular characters of the series, the third ninja, and the first ever hidden boss

honestly the only MK character more overrated than reptile is takeda. but if it makes you feel better they did make him a good guy in MK12 with a supporting role in the story and a demon waifu.
Reptiles place in the story is very underwhelming and he rarely shines, so in that way he could be overrated, but his concept itself was cool to me because I simply like reptiles, the only thing I like more is arthropods, which made me favor Scorpion as a kid even though it's just a namesake and he has little to do with actual scorpions, but I also love Hell so it worked out anyway
>but I also love Hell
Repent!
Jokes aside though, I always go bonkers for the militant christian church kind of guys. But MK doesn't have those, so I went for Sektor becase I like flamethrowers. And I feel like Sektor nevet had much love either, especially in later MKs. Hopefully MK12 will treat him right.
Yeah Sektor is cool, he has a bit more of a cohesive theme I think than Cyrax, being just balls to the wall armament and firepower. I suppose you could say Cyrax's nets and bombs are more of a.......tactical thing, maybe? Idk. >I always go bonkers for the militant christian church kind of guys.
Ky Kiske comes to mind
>I always go bonkers for the militant christian church kind of guys. But MK doesn't have those
ashrah from deception, armageddon & MK12 technically counts as that.
she's a demon who found a holy sword in hell which purified her and now is on a quest to kill as many demons as she can in order to go to heaven.
What exactly was going on with MK4? They turned the cheesiness up to 11 on this one. That being said, I still enjoyed MK Gold. First release is a buggy mess but the release from a month later takes care of most of the nonsense. Fricking MK always being broken at release.
>They turned the cheesiness up to 11 on this one.
They didn't. They cut dumb things like Babalities, Friendships and Animalities, they made the game darker and the character designs more serious.
But the shit animation and the gibberish made the game look ridiculous.
>But the shit animation and the gibberish made the game look ridiculous.
Sorry, that's precisely what I meant in terms of cheesiness. You're right about the other goofy chaff being cut.
I'll agree with you on the MK3 animalities, but UMK3 introduced stuff like Scorpion's animality. The series started to have a bit of an identity crisis after MK2.

Animalities were a goofy but cool idea, some things are cool/make sense like Liu Kang dragon, Nightwolf wolf, etc. But yeah....it's like they couldn't decide if it was supposed to be cool, or a funny gag
I thought mk4 was pure shit but my friend had it for N64 AND the fricking game boy version which was even fricking shittier! This is coming from someone who grew up with umk3 on snes because my older brother bought it for me in preschool KEK
arright

Reptile gets a bad rep

Animalities were arguably the darkest aspect of these goofy fricking games.

IMSOGAYYYYYY
best ending in any fighting game ever. also the best scorpion voice, perfect sinister scorpion voice.
Sometimes i watch videos people play MK gold on fightcade and the game doesn't seem awful, fun even.
Too bad nobody but 3 people play it.
