IIRC itā€™s never really stated. I remember getting an MK Comic back in the day. It showed him with out his helmet. He wasnā€™t human.

@Radiantsilvergun3

Which one did you get? Did you beat Kronika without losing a round?

Thanks for the info man. Iā€™m not as up on MK lore and I am SF lore.

I wasnā€™t sure either. Which is why I looked it up. His species just says ā€œFormer Godā€ and his home world being outworld.

One thing that kinda bothered me about Mk11 is they did a lot of retconning. Likeā€¦a lot a lot. Some of it was justified and made sense. Some of it was just silly.

IIRC Outworld is comprised of several realms that Shao Kahn conquered. With Outworld being the name of his original realm.

Onaga captured them first and then Shao Khan murdered him.

Ah so heā€™s a successful version of Starscream :wink:

Summary

Okay. So you watched the ā€œGoodā€ ending.

There are 3 different endings

Bad: Kronika kills God Lui Kang and starts the new era

Good: the one you watched

Secret and likely the canonical ending:
Lui Beats Kronika. Raiden separates from Lui but letā€™s him keep the godliness saying he is now the new protector of earthrealm as well as the master of time itself. Just like the ending you watched. However in this ending Raiden mentions Lui will not be able to do this task alone. Lui mentions he needs Kitana. Raiden agrees and tells Lui this has likely always been their destiny.

Lui summons Kitana to the hourglass and asks if sheā€™s sure sheā€™s ready to take on this task. She says yes and they agree to reshape time to where all the realms will be able to shape their own destiny and not be controlled.

Are the towers as grindy as people are saying in MK11 or is it just bs?

Shout outs to NRS and their tutorial section. They did an amazing job on this. Capcom needs to take a page out of their book for this.

Capcom would look at what they did right in MK, and then they would completely fuck it all up. I mean that is what they did with SF5 online portion from SF4, other than using rollback versus delay based netcode, but they even managed to fuck that up.

I finished MK11 story mode. For the story this game told it felt like a lot of characters were missing

Summary

where the hell was present Erron Black? A couple of characters bring him up but his whereabouts is unknown.

Mileena should have been involved. She gets brought up a few times herself and she could have made for a fun wild card. I want to know if she would have betrayed Shao Khan knowing her future self would be Khan. It was cute how Shao would have seemingly avenged her.

Where did the male Kombat kids go? Kung Jin should have been at the Wu academy and Kenshi kid should have been at the fire garden

Overall, it was better than MKX story at least.

Kronika got a sexy pair of legs.

Mortal Krawdad has always been trash. I was lured in by the shock value when I was a boy. But, after the second game that shock wore away and then I found the game(s) to be trash. Never played another one. But Iā€™ve seen them all and they all look like trash.

Anyhow, been playing lots of Risk or Rain 2 and Risk of Rain. Both games are fun. Iā€™m takinā€™ it kinda slow on Risk of Rain 2 because there isnā€™t much content yet. I dont wanna burn myself out on it then just wait for the full release or whatevers. Some of yā€™all bustas should get it.

Iā€™d love to see the stats on how many people of the Cuphead fans out there actually beat it, because some of this shit is bordering on impossible for realā€¦like you need to have Jesus-level Perfection with your timing to even have a chance at some of this shit. Iā€™ve been fighting that damn blue cuckoo bird all day todayā€¦actually since at least yesterdayā€¦probably died close to 100 times at this point. Out of this entire time, Iā€™ve only made it to the last phase of the fight a couple of times. I forgot how the hell to even dodge the shit going on with his ā€œfinal formā€.

ā€¦and yet the sick thing is Iā€™m still having fun with this game, despite dying trillions of times.

@Million-X Watch TheMexicanRunner on YouTube do speed runs of it. He does various versions of speed runs for the game including a passive mode. He holds the world record for various speedrun ā€œtypesā€ too

Incredible stuff.

Theyā€™re grindy enough that NRS is looking to adjust them in a patch.
