And Kittelsen is why you NEVER let people who never collected a paycheck from Midway write the MK story.
Kittelsen is a fraud and a liar.

You're barking at the wrong tree.
I think this game is a massive fraud: the story, the technical execution, the gameplay, the fatalities, the political pandering, just about everything about it. The story, if you really think about it, makes absolutely no sense. Kadell is asking about Sindel's sleeping preferences, and yet you have Kano dying twice because he got shot in the eye. Okay, then why the hell didn't JC get hurt from slapping his past self? If you get kicked in the nuts in the past, does this mean your future self will also feel it? Don't know, but remember: "thanks for reminding me of the rules!".
The gameplay is boring, with handholding mechanics such as auto meter regen and free xrays for getting shit beat out of you. These cutscenes happen way too often during the fight, breaking the flow and just becoming tedious and annoying. All wrapped with soul destroying pseudo-MMO grind and microtransactions.
The fatalities? It's the same krap we've been seeing ever since NRS became NRS. Some of them are okay, most of them are incoherent garbage. They suffer from the same problem as the previous games: you watch them once or twice, and it just becomes repetitive and boring.
From a technical standpoint I have a lot to say but at this point it's just noise. Needless to say, this game will age like shit. Same with political pandering, lots to say, but this brings up to my last point...
NRS doesn't care. They have a different target audience now. People are angry at Sindel's retcon, but MK11 retconned pretty much everything. Even the last game which is only 4 years old got retconned. The NuFans however, eat that shit up and ask for desert. They even go out of their way to say krap like "well Sindel's behaviour and outfit matches her new story! she's a gold digging slut and I dig that!!", which as with everything NRS does is basically huge irony that sends my sides into the orbit. :rofl:
I was checking out PerfectLegend playing some MK9 yesterday. Guess what? People on stream had no idea about this game as they never even tried it. That's a 9 year old game, and yet you're concerned about the Arcades? Come on... You might as well take Kittelsen's advise and start pretending it's "headcanon".
