(And again, if you need proof of that, see the movie clip above.) But if we’re impressed by anything, it’s his friendship, in which he autographs a picture of himself for his opponent to admire while they’re healing in the hospital. Plus, his “nut shot” attack hurts everyone – even women. His shadow kick and punch moves are impressive, as well as his glowing fireball attacks. We’ve even included a clip of the film above for good measure.ĭespite an over-driven ego (he is a Hollywood actor, after all), Johnny Cage packs more of a punch than most people expect. Our best memory of Goro, though, has to be from the Mortal Kombat movie. The way he can grab an opponent and pummel them with his upper arms is bad-ass, and we also dig his charging punches. His strength even manages to overcome the power of his tiger-skinned sibling Kintaro and the lamely conceived Sheeva.
The sub-boss from the original Mortal Kombat is still an awesome character after all these years. He also has an Animality that doesn’t look completely lame, as a porcupine that shoots lethal quills at his opponent. Plus, he has one of the coolest fatalities out there, where he transport into his opponent’s body and then emerges, ripping them apart in the process. His chest-activated spear is pretty cool, too, similar in strength and impact to Scorpion’s.
His teleport uppercut punch is outstanding, enabling you to set up a multi-hit combo with little effort. We even like him more than either Cyrax or Sektor, actually. While Smoke the ninja is a great hidden character in Mortal Kombat II, we found the robot version introduced in Mortal Kombat 3 more to our liking. We can’t wait to see what new tricks Shang Tsung has up his sleeves with the new Mortal Kombat game, coming our way next year. Plus, his classic fatality – sucking the soul from an opponent and leaving a withered corpse as a result – never gets old. He’s able to transform into a number of characters, while also launching fireballs out of the ground to send an enemy flying. The end boss from the original Mortal Kombat has come a long way over the years, regaining his youth and powers to make him even deadlier than before. As for his fatalities, hey, who else do you know that can blow up someone’s body with his mind? His teleport is pretty cool too, even with the lame name of “Mind Warp”. Robbed of his eyesight by the evil Shang Tsung, Kenshi is by no means defenseless, as he packs a mean sword and devastating telekinetic powers that could easily send any opponent packing. While our list of Mortal Kombat favorites mostly consists of veterans, we gotta admit that Kenshi is a pretty awesome fighter in his own right. We already know you Kano fans won’t be pleased with us, as he ranked number 11. Choose your hero! – Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3Īgain, this is an opinion piece, and if you think there’s a favorite you missed (or you don’t like how the Scorpion/Sub-Zero ranking ended up), sound off and let us know.
