re: MKX Initial Reactions/Impressions Thread (SPOILERS)

For some reason in the first chapter, Scorpion and Sub Zero can take out 3-4 helicopters, hordes of soldiers, AND Sonya, but when they both fight Johnny Cage at the same time they get their asses handed to them.

Johnny Cage takes down Shinnok at the end of chapter 1.

The good thing about this game is that they finally show how truly nasty of a villain Shinnok really is and not that pussy version in MK4.

Think about it this way: Shinnok is basically the Elder God of death. He took down Raiden and Fujin rather easily, but it took a descendant of a Mediterranean war cult bred specifically to confront Shinnok in order to defeat him.

Shinnok is THE big bad of the Mortal Kombat story. Not Shang Tsung, not Shao Kahn, not Onaga...SHINNOK.

You'll see what I mean when you finish the game.
