Observing Mortal kombat, noticed some funny errors.

Nothing major, and no complaints. mk is my favorite fighting game, just some minor errors ive found during the time ive been playing, I thought it would be fun to share.

1: The ps3 version, the cd select screen features scorpion holding one of his swords, but you can still see his 2 swords on his back, where did that third one come from?

2: When you select a one round fight shao kahn still says round one, why if there is no round two he can just say fight instead.

3: Isnt shao kang the announcer? I always thought he was, *If so why does he still announces his own fight when youre fighting him, i remember mk2 he didnt announce the fight when you faced him.

4:Why is shang sung morphed as your fighter in the fight intro if he hasnt stolen your soul yet?

5: Why does kintaro has 3 hand fingers and 5 leg fingers, most mammals share the same amount of leg and hand fingers or at least a close amount.

6: Why does scorpion blink if he wears a mask, masks don't blink.

7: in the meat arena there is a prisioner walking to the table, if you put the infinite timer he never reaches the table.

8: Why do all the ninja classic costumes are missing the ass cover ( dunno what those are called) when all the mk movies, shows, cartoons, and games have that part, even the classic robot ninjas are missing it. Looks incomplete in my opinion.

Well, this is mortal kombat, you dont question the world of mk, but maybe some of you have noticed similar errors, would be cool to share.

Because the ladies and the gays need some sort of ass to look at. The straight dudes and lesbians get to stare at every female combatant's ass.

Okay, that's probably not the reason. But I'm going with that.

just oversight or he could have summoned it, why not?

2: When you select a one round fight shao kahn still says round one, why if there is no round two he can just say fight instead.

Still round 1 of a 1 round fight? why not say round 1

3: Isnt shao kang the announcer? I always thought he was, *If so why does he still announces his own fight when youre fighting him, i remember mk2 he didnt announce the fight when you faced him.

It's not shao kahn narrating this time, listen to his voice in story mode, it's way different. Quan chi is the closest voice to the narrator so may be him.

4:Why is shang sung morphed as your fighter in the fight intro if he hasnt stolen your soul yet?

He morphs into other fighters during the match when they are not around. I think it's safe to assume he can morph into anyone at any point but during a fight for gameplay purposes his soul steal will morph him into the opponent

5: Why does kintaro has 3 hand fingers and 5 leg fingers, most mammals share the same amount of leg and hand fingers or at least a close amount.

He's a fantasy creature not of this world, who's to say he has to have the same.

6: Why does scorpion blink if he wears a mask, masks don't blink.


It's the same as reptiles mask in that it looks like a man but underneath is a lizard head. It could be assumed the mask is specially made to reflect scorpions emotions and hide his appearance, therefore his mask is basically a living face but is still just a mask (tbh i couldn't think of a good reason either)

7: in the meat arena there is a prisioner walking to the table, if you put the infinite timer he never reaches the table.

He might just of not wanted to walk to the table, this is probably just oversight.

8: Why do all the ninja classic costumes are missing the ass cover ( dunno what those are called) when all the mk movies, shows, cartoons, and games have that part, even the classic robot ninjas are missing it. Looks incomplete in my opinion.

It's not a exact copy of the classic outfits rather a new rebooted outfit that grows inspiration from them and it's design just happens to leave out that part.
 
6: Why does scorpion blink if he wears a mask, masks don't blink.

The short answer is this - The guy is a spectre, and the mask wasn't bought at Ninja"R"Us. :P

He shows nothing but an empty flaming skull under that mask, yet he bleeds, and x-ray attacks reveal muscles and organs. It'll be one of those things that cannot be explained within reason.

There isn't anything missing in the classic costumes. At least, not in the area you're talking about. You can see that in these sprites:

Ricochetmatt , true lol

Robwill80 youre right, but still both movies, legacy, conquest have that part, and i just noticed subzero is the only one in this game that has it. I still think it Would look a lot better with the ass covered.
 
In the desert arena, If you play as Smoke vs Kano, Sometimes Kano does a weird spam thing where he jumps and grabs, He will do it over and over until you defeat him...

I thought i was the only one, weird enough for some reason my Kano doesn't do his winning showoff sequence in that arena. :shock:

Leg fingers? Haha. This thread is inadvertently funny. Nice finds though, i never notice discontinuities.
Oh, and to answer all of your questions. IT'S A GAME.

Actually your wrong about the "ass covers". The ninjas DONT have them in the original MK1, MK2 and UMK3 games. Screen shots below:
