Character Relationships In Battles?

I already thought of the few more for character relation intros:

Liu Kang vs. Kung Lao:
Liu Kang-"Let us fight for the honor of both, the White Lotus and Shaolin."
Kung Lao-"Ok Liu! Let's see which of us, monks is the better fighter."

Sonya vs Jax:
Sonya: "Care to spar with me, sir? And don't hold back on me."
Jax: "Alright. Bring it on, soldier!"

Johnny Cage vs Cyrax:
Cyrax: "I hated you on Ninja Mime. I shall terminate you immediately!"
Johnny: "Whoa, whoa there, mister cyborg! Don't blame me. Blame the Director and the script on that one."

Johnny Cage vs Sonya:
Johnny: "Hey there hottie! Care for me to take you out for dinner after this fight?"
Sonya: "Like dream on! You can't satisfy me, even with all the money and cars in the world."

Kitana vs Sindel:
Kitana: "Mother! Please snap out of it."
Sindel: "You'll pay for betraying your Emperor and Outworld!"
 
There are definitly character relationships in MK9. Remember all the dialogs from the videos?

Scorpion: You are not Sub-Zero!
Subby: I am his family and clan!

I think it is part of the story mode but I think that there could be different intros. I can't hear no more "This fight will be your last" just even because of MK Demo =D

Yeah most of those things are in Story mode...I jhope there's more to the intros and win poses than what we have seen.....
 
Johnny Cage vs Cyrax:
Cyrax: "I hated you on Ninja Mime. I shall terminate you immediately!"
Johnny: "Whoa, whoa there, mister cyborg! Don't blame me. Blame the Director and the script on that one."

Hahaha :laugh: I don't know why but I found this hilarious. Ninja Mime was so bad it actually changed Cyrax's programming.
 
I thought of more intros. Hope I get rep points for these.

Liu Kang vs Kitana:
Kitana-"Hmm. He's an interesting one."
Liu Kang- does his normal intro

Sub-Zero/Smoke vs Cyrax/Sektor:
Cyrax/Sektor-Primary target found. Eliminate immediately!
Sub-Zero-"You soulless machine! I shall end your life by my cold hands."
Smoke-"Monster! I shall give my former clan retribution, after I done with you."

Kitana vs Jade:
Jade-"Are you willing to take me on, Your Highness?"
Kitana-"You don't have go formal towards me, Jade."

Liu Kang vs Johnny Cage:
Liu Kang-"Can you please take this match more seriously?"
Johnny-"Sure....after waving towards my adoring fans."

Baraka vs Mileena:
Baraka-"Ready to fight me, my dear?"
Mileena-"Mmmm! Let's get it on then."

Kano vs Kabal:
Kano-"Hey there, old mate. Coming back to the Black Dragon clan?"
Kabal-"No! I'm more interest in putting your maniac self, out of misery."

Sheeva vs Goro:
Sheeva-"I'll challenge you in kombat, my lord."
Goro- "I, Goro, prince of all Shokans, will accept your challenge!"
 
It would be pretty awesome to have character specific intros and winning quotes, or having a stage specific intro. Like fighting in Shang Tsung's flesh pits and he say, "Fool, you will be my next guinea pig" , or something like that. The current intros and winning poses (for the most part) are all pretty cool and unique though imo.

I can understand them not putting it though, since some characters are on the same alignment, and you are basically killing them at the end of the match lol; so just doing it for characters on opposite alignments would make more sense imo. (Not trying to be a jerk to anyone who posted same alignment quotes, since they all were pretty awesome :) )

I don't know, I see the versus modes as more of a virtual simulator, as story mode is really the only cannon fights. So I think it would still be appropriate to have friendly banter as well as enemy banter.

I think you could even go further and have dialog in the fights! Like Liu Kang takes a Kung Lao hat to the face and gets up and says, "What form of Shaolin was that?"

These wouldn't interrupt fights, the audio would just play over the battle, like an announcer. And it would only happen randomly, hopefully not too often. I think that would be another wonderful addition to character relationships.
 
I like the idea of dialogs during battle when certain things come into play. And now, the remaining intros that I can think of for now.

Kung Lao vs Shang Tsung:
Kung Lao-"I'll make you pay for what you done to my ancestor and for dishonoring the tournament."
Shang Tsung-"Then, you'll join him soon in my body, once I take your soul."

Raiden vs any good guy:
Raiden-"Let's see if you're worthy of facing the God of Thunder, and joining my force."

Raiden vs Shang Tsung:
Raiden-"If the Elder Gods would allow me to in my true form, I will eradicate you and your emperor into pieces!"
Shang Tsung-"Then I dare you to do so and see what happens."

Kano vs Sonya:
Kano: "Here there sweetcakes! I'll take you nice and slow before killing you."
Sonya: "KANO!!!! It's time for you pay the piper."

Sindel: "You'll pay for betraying your Emperor and Outworld!"

Kitana vs Liu Kang
Liu: "Kitana, please. i do not want 2 do this!"
Kitana: "im sorry liu. there is no other way, forgive me."
Liu: "i will have 2 forgive myself first."
 
Noob Saibot:"Finally, we meet."
Scorpion: "Shall we fight the good fight?"
Noob Saibot: "The sorcerer will pay for his mistakes after our match."

Shao Kahn: "There is something dark about you?"
Quan Chi: "I will win and become the Mortal Kombat Champion!"

Kintaro: "Brother in arms we are, but let us see who the better warrior is."
Goro: "Fight me!"
 
Nightwolf vs Scorpion/Noob Saibot:
Nightwolf-"Corrupted soul! I'll purify you and grant you eternal rest in the afterlife."
Scorpion/Noob Saibot- does their normal intro

Shang Tsung vs Shao Kahn:
Shang Tsung-"I will claim your throne, and your soul after dealing with you, my dear "Emperor"."
Shao Kahn-"YOU FOOL!!! After this fight, I shall grant you eternal punishment for as long as you're alive."

Baraka vs Kurtis Stryker:
Baraka-"HAHAHAHAHA! Come at me, you weak, puny human."
Stryker-"What the hell are you? You got a face no one would ever love."

Hey Jion. On the Kintaro part, you forgot to add either 'my lord', 'my prince', or 'your majesty', at the end of the line, since Goro is in royal status. Nevertheless, good intros between the Shokan.

And Goddess, good intros between them. It's just that Liu can't say anymore than one line after the opponent does their intro, if he's already done with their intro.

Plus, to any mod. Would you mind tweaking on the thread title and add "in MK9?", along the line? Thanks.
