Interesting Questions, Facts, and Information

    Mortal Kombat

    Why was Johnny Cage brought back from the dead?Komplete "Mortal Kombat" (Jabbawocky)

      The fans wanted him back really badly. It was due to popular demand he was brought back after his game model was caught doing unauthorized advertising as Johnny Cage. So when "Mortal Kombat Trilogy" was made they hired new actor Christopher Alexander to play Johnny Cage. To get round the fact of Cage not being in "Mortal Kombat 3" they said he was killed by Shao Kahn's extermination squads and for "Mortal Kombat Trilogy" he came back in spirit and was brought back properly in "Mortal Kombat 4" when the game went 3-D.

    Why does Sheeva hate Motaro?General "Mortal Kombat" Questions 2 (wesker002)

      All of the listed (He is a Centaurian, He tried to kill her, He was appointed head of an extermination squad over her). Shokans are the natural enemies of Centuarians. Motaro was appointed the commander of the Outworld extermination squad during the invasion of Earth realm. Motaro did in fact try to kill her after she attacked him.

    Whose fatality is back, back, down, back + attack 4?Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance #3 (hoodrich119)

      Scorpion. He pulls off his opponents' head with his spear.

    Whose fatality button configurations are the same?Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance (purple_me)

      Sonya and Johnny Cage. Their fatality configuration is Back, Forward, Forward, Down, Triangle. Sonya gives the Kiss of Death, and Johnny gives the opponent the Brain Ripper.

    Whose alternate outfit do you get for 1170 Gold Koins?"Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance" Krypt (generalmbison)

    Whose "Friendship" finishing move involves a disco ball and some very stylin' music?Classic Mortal Kombat (crumbworks)

      Liu Kang. Every character has a different "Friendship", and every one of them involves doing a different sequence of moves necessary to achieve it.

    Who, besides Kenshi, attacks using telekinesis?Mortal Kombat: Deception (hrdcore_jrock)

      Ermac. Only Kenshi and Ermac use telekinesis to fight. It was actually Ermac who taught Kenshi to use telekinesis, which is weird because Keshi has more moves using telekinesis.

    Who's move does Scorpion use to get Quan Chi?Mortal Kombat 4 (jacqui1969)

      Fujin. It's in his ending.

    Who wins the tournament in the end?Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance (purple_me)

      The Deadly Alliance. Shang Tsung and Quan Chi succeeded in defeating Raiden's earthrealm warriors. Then comes the Dragon King once they have defeated Raiden and just after they turn on themselves.

    Who were the two warriors Quan Chi and Shang Tsung had to defeat to make it possible for them to rule the universe?Komplete "Mortal Kombat" (Jabbawocky)

      Liu Kang and Shao Kahn. Yes the current champion of "Mortal Kombat" and the Emperor of Outworld needed to be killed to ensure their plan was going to work.

      Kurtis Stryker. When designing the first ever "Mortal Kombat", the developers had intended for a male police officer named Kurtis Stryker to be in the game.

    Who was Li Mei attacking when Quan Chi noticed her fighting capabilities?General "Mortal Kombat" Questions 2 (wesker002)

    Who sensed that Onaga was being controlled by a greater force?"Mortal Kombat" Plot Twists (simpsonman17)

    Who killed the grand master of the Lin Kuei allowing Sub-Zero to become its leader?General "Mortal Kombat" Questions 2 (wesker002)

      Sektor. Sektor assassinated the Grand Master of the Lin Kuei. He then challenged Sub-Zero for leadership of the Lin Kuei. Quan Chi once hired the Lin Kuei to do his bidding. Smoke and Cyrax were both members of the Lin Kuei.

    Who killed Sheeva?Facts of the "Mortal Kombat" Universe (nwodkcams)

      Shao Kahn. Sheeva belonged to a race called the Shokan. Motaro belonged to a race called the Centaurs. When Shoa Kahn started to favour the Centaurs and aided them in fighting the Shokan, Sheeva turned on Shoa Khan (her master).

    Who killed Scorpion when he was still a human being after the assassination of Takeda? Facts of the "Mortal Kombat" Universe (nwodkcams)

      Sub-Zero. Shang Tsung held the soul of Hanzo Hasashi. Shang Tsung sent a poisonous scorpion into which he transferred the soul of Hanzo to kill Takeda (founder of the Shirai Ryo ninja clan). Hanzo then took over Takeda's body and became a human once again. Hanzo was then known as Scorpion. When Sub-Zero searched for the Map of Elements that showed the way to Shinnok's Sacred Amulet, he crossed paths with Scorpion. This led to a battle in which Scorpion was killed. (The Sacred Amulet was used by Shinnok to enter the realm of Earth thousands of years ago.) Scorpion was given a chance to return to life in order to avenge his death and was reincarnated in the form of a specter.

    Who killed Motaro?General "Mortal Kombat" Questions 2 (wesker002)

      Sheeva. Sheeva is the one who killed Motaro. She accomplished it with the help of Kano. Goro and Kintaro are both Shokan and therefore hate Motaro but they had nothing to do with his death.
