The strongest player in mortal kombat x. Factions and heroes of the Mortal Kombat universe

Nowadays there is hardly a person who has never heard of the Mortal Kombat series - this fighting game is rightfully legendary, since it has existed for quite a long time, but during this time it has not lost a drop of relevance. This is a whole universe with its own history, its own characters and the relationships between them. There are computer games, films, animated series, and books, the events of which take place with the same characters. But, naturally, the most popular are computer games, which began to be published quite a long time ago. In 1992, gamers got acquainted with the first part, which instantly captivated absolutely everyone. Many years have passed since then, the games in the series have constantly improved, becoming better graphically, more thoughtfully physical, and also more diverse in terms of both characters and combat techniques that they can use.

The next part will be released in 2015, which promises to be even brighter and more impressive. And it will be called Mortal Kombat X. Its characters have not yet been fully determined, but there is already some information that lifts the veil of secrecy. The title of the game includes the letter X, which implies the Roman numeral ten, but it still reads like a letter. Moreover, it is worth noting that there are already more than ten games in the series - it’s just that some of them are not numbered and are located between other parts.

At the moment, not much is known about this game - the plot, some locations where battles will take place, and, of course, several Mortal Kombat X heroes. The characters are the most interesting thing, so talking about them should be postponed until later . Now we will talk about the plot of the upcoming game. The first announcement of this part of the series was made in April 2014, and since then the project has been surrounded by new rumors. For example, it became known that the events of this game will take place within twenty-five years from the end of the previous one. Even this information mostly refers to the characters that will be introduced. The fact is that this is a fairly large time period, so in the game you will meet both old and beloved heroes, as well as new ones that you have not yet seen in any of the previous games. This will be the main difference between Mortal Kombat X. The characters will become much older, and some will no longer exist at all. But you will be able to get acquainted with other heroes, for example, the descendants of previous characters. Therefore, you definitely won’t be bored. In addition, before the release of the game itself, perhaps some more intriguing information will appear.

Innovations in the game

In Mortal Kombat X, characters will be of primary importance as they begin to tell a whole new story. But there will be other interesting innovations that have not previously been seen in any of the games. For example, it is worth noting the increased interactivity of the environment. Previously, only in some games it was possible to find a single object that could be used during the battle. As for this episode of the game, here in each of the locations there will be a set of objects with which the player can interact. As in previous parts of the game, you will find objects here with which you can influence your opponent to cause damage. But if previously it was just a banal gray stone, now it will be something special - in the forest, say, it will be a branch, and in the market it will be a person from the crowd. Separately, it is worth noting the fact that objects will appear on the screen from which you can push off. For example, in the same forest you can push off from a tree trunk to speed up, and in one of the other locations you will find one that can be used to increase the height of your jump. In this regard, Mortal Kombat X offers fans of fighting games new opportunities and ways to achieve victories.

Scorpion

The first character who appeared at the announcement of the new game in the series was Scorpio. For this hero, age does not matter, so his appearance in Mortal Kombat X was expected without question. After all, the original Scorpio was killed quite a long time ago, since then he has acted as a ghost who was reborn in the Underworld and is always on the side of the forces of evil. As before, he confronts another ninja, whose name is Sub-Zero - he was also present in all episodes of the game, but is not a ghost. As before, Scorpio uses snakes flying from his hands to hit his opponent and pull him towards him, but in addition he has a fairly wide range of abilities that he can successfully use in the fight against the enemy. Naturally, it is not yet known what capabilities X will have. But what the first trailer shows gamers inspires great hope.

Sub Zero

One of the most colorful characters in the series will appear in the new game Mortal Kombat X. Players were able to learn about this from the first trailer, which demonstrated the confrontation between two sworn enemies - Scorpion and Sub-Zero. For the first time in the series, this character was completely different - he had the same powers, but was the older brother. Quite quickly he was destroyed by Scorpio, which is why the younger brother appears in almost all subsequent games in the series. As before, Sub-Zero's main moves and abilities are based on handling ice. He can freeze his opponent, throw blocks at them, create an ice copy of himself, and so on. He was later turned into a cyborg to reduce the chances of Scorpio killing him, like his older brother. As a result, the Sub-Zero storyline is quite confusing, and even the above trailer does not tell exactly who is hiding behind the Sub-Zero mask in Mortal Kombat X. Perhaps some light will be shed on this in the near future, or maybe this will be one of those riddles that gamers will have to solve on their own as they progress through the game.

Di Vora

Judging by the first trailer for Mortal Kombat X, it may seem that only old characters will be present in the game, since those who fans of the series have already seen, and more than once, are fighting there. But in fact, the next presentation of this game revealed the fact that there will be quite a few new heroes in this episode. First among them is Di Vora, who is not just unusual, she is amazing. The fact is that she is a representative of a race that has not previously existed in the MK universe - insect people. For battles, she uses insects, in particular bees, and does it very effectively. Unfortunately, there is very little information available about her and her race, so users will have to wait before they learn more details about this heroine of Mortal Kombat X. The characters, whose images have already spread across the Internet, will appear in the new episode " Mortal Kombat". And it will be an impressive debut.

Ferra and Torr

Naturally, Di Vora is not the only newcomer to the game. Mortal Kombat X's characters, who have not previously appeared in the series, are not yet very diverse. But the fact that four new heroes have already been announced raises hopes that there may be even more to come. Only fans of the series hope that this will not be done to the detriment of old and beloved characters. So, the next hero, or rather, a team of heroes, is Ferra and Torr. Torr is a huge giant who has incredible power. On his neck sits a dwarf named Ferra, who commands him during the battle, and can also help him in battle with blows of daggers. They also have a rather original move - Torr can throw Ferroy at the enemy, which is also impressive. Who these two are, how they are connected, why they are in the new episode of the game is a mystery that still remains unresolved. But it's nice that in Mortal Kombat X the list of characters is growing and not remaining the same.

Kotal Kahn

Kotal Kahn will most likely be of great importance. As it became known, he is the new ruler of the Outer World, the successor of Shao Kahn. Of course, all of the new characters in Mortal Kombat X play important roles, but Kotal Kahn is still one of the most significant, as he replaces the main villain of the previous games. Many fans have decided that Kotal Kahn is the son of Shao Kahn, but in fact this is not the case at all. Here Kan is just a title, and there are no family ties between these two characters. Little is known about this hero yet, except that he has quite impressive dimensions, an unusual skin color and Indian elements of clothing. These are the interesting characters in Mortal Kombat X. Fans have already installed wallpapers with them on their desktops for a long time, and now they live in anticipation of new information about the upcoming game.

Cassie Cage

The Mortal Kombat series, of course, is not without romantic lines. From the first episodes it became clear that Sonya Blade was destined to be together. In Mortal Kombat X, the characters Kotal Kahn and Cassie Cage are the ones who have some connection to previous heroes in the series. But if Kotal is only the heir of Shao Kahn without blood relationship, then Cassie is the daughter of Johnny and Sonya. This implies that this character's fighting style includes advanced techniques from both Cage and Blade. Unfortunately, Cassie's story is still unknown, as is the purpose of her introduction into the new game. As you can see, there are even such characters in Mortal Kombat X.

Smoke, however, has not yet been announced. Although, undoubtedly, it is one of the favorites of many gamers. Therefore, now it’s worth talking about those characters who have already been announced for the new game, but this will not be their debut.

Raiden

Raiden is the god of thunder, who is known to all fans of the series from the very first episode. He is skilled in both martial arts and lightning, which cause serious damage to opponents. Naturally, he has changed quite a lot in appearance, like many others in Mortal Kombat X. The characters, photos of which can already be found on various resources, are very different from how they looked in the first games in the series. Naturally, the answer here is very simple. Still, twenty-five years is a long time. Therefore, it will be even more interesting to watch old characters in the new game.

Kano

It also became known that in the new episode of MK gamers will meet one of the villains who has appeared in almost all games - Kano. This is a former criminal who lost his eye and part of his face, replacing them with technological implants. He is the sworn enemy of Sonya Blade, as well as her partner Jax, who caused such damage to him. Over time, Kano became more and more powerful, being a mercenary of Shao Kahn. And for the money he receives, he will diligently improve his implants.

Goro

Prince Goro is one of the most famous characters in the series. He is huge in size and has four arms, making him an incredibly dangerous opponent. That is why in the very first game of the series he was not a playable character, but was the main boss with whom everyone had to fight in arcade mode. And this was a real test. Since then, Goro has become a playable hero, and all fans of the series can try the power of his four arms - the same opportunity will be available to those who play Mortal Kombat X in 2015. But he is a bonus hero, so you'll have to pre-order the game to get your hands on him.

Quan Chi

Quan Chi is one of the most powerful sorcerers in the entire universe. It was not available until the fourth part of the series, but since its introduction it has become one of the most popular and in demand. He is an adviser to Shao Kahn, but this character most likely will not appear in the new game, so we can only guess what role the developers will assign to him. Considering the presence in the game of Scorpion and Sub-Zero, who became ghosts thanks to him, the plot may take an unexpected turn. In any case, there is no information yet about all the characters in the game, so all that remains is to wait for news and its release itself.

When Mortal Kombat was first released in the 90s, it quickly became a cult classic. The one-on-one arcade fighting game has since grown into a dominant franchise that continues to push the boundaries of the genre. The lion's share of the franchise's popularity belongs to unique characters who are capable of doing amazing things, for example, releasing deadly spears and ball lightning from their hands, manipulating electricity, stealing souls, etc. This brings us to the main question: who is the most powerful character in the MK series?

We present to your attention a list of the most powerful and powerful characters in the Mortal Kombat series of games.

10

Sub Zero

Sub-Zero

Even though Sub-Zero was killed by Scorpion (and reborn as Noob Saibot), the character was always playable. He has the innate ability to control ice in its various manifestations, and many of his most powerful techniques are related to ice in one way or another. He can also teleport, splitting into several parts and then reassembling himself in another part of the arena.

9

Goro

Goro is a tall, muscular, four-armed general of Outworld's army. The first real monster of the series, for whom the death of an enemy brings true pleasure. While he acts as a sub-boss, Goro has been the tournament's undefeated champion for over 500 years. Goro has enormous physical strength. Also, for a two-meter giant, Goro is a fairly technical fighter, using various holds to defeat the enemy. In addition, he is capable of firing fiery projectiles from his hands, which cause great damage. But in the early parts of the series, his attacks caused much more damage than in the last games.

8

Scorpion

Scorpion

Playable character in every MK game. Scorpion is well known for his rivalry with Sub-Zero, typically using their epic battles to promote the franchise. Scorpio is completely invulnerable. Even if you kill his body in the world of the living, he will be reborn in the Underworld and after some time will be able to return back to the world of the living. Scorpio's powers depend on how long he stays in the Underworld (the time he spends in the Underworld is directly proportional to his strength). In addition to his manipulation of fire, he has a kunai knife, which poses the greatest danger to the enemy. Among other things, in battle, Scorpio is able to call upon the forces of hell to help him or send the enemy to the Underworld, where cruel reprisals will await him.

7

Shang Tsung

Shang Tsung

The original “bad guy” and final boss of MK1. He has the ability to absorb other people's souls, which allows him to take on the appearance of those whose souls he took, completely copying their abilities, in addition, he receives all the knowledge of his victims. In addition to this, Shang Tsung can also control the powers of fire. During battle, he can release fireballs from his hands and summon them from underground or from the air. He can also teleport and open portals to other worlds.

6

Shinnok

The main antagonist of MK4. Shinnok is a powerful fallen Elder God whose main goal is revenge. He is not as intimidating as previous villains, but has magical powers that allow him to control the Underworld. He no longer relies on brute force or intimidation, but on magic and cunning. Shinnok can imitate the abilities of other warriors, but unlike Shang Tsung, he does not need to take on another form or take other people's souls. With the help of an amulet, he can make himself completely invulnerable to both physical and magical attacks. In addition, he can turn into a huge and practically invulnerable demon.

5

Liu Kang

Liu Kang

The original hero, whose image was originally based on Bruce Lee. Liu Kang is the greatest fighter in Earthrealm, who has incredible agility and knowledge of martial arts. He has powerful moves such as the bicycle kick, flying kick, and fireballs, which are difficult to counter but easy to do. Liu Kang's speed and strength made him a constant threat to Emperor Shao Kahn, but despite his staggering possibilities, he remains human(in MK1 he is the only character without a fatality).

4

Quan Chi

This bald sorcerer is an integral villain of the Mortal Kombat franchise. Even though he was never the main antagonist, that doesn't make him any less powerful. He is ready to team up with anyone if it helps him achieve his goals. Due to his treacherous nature, Quan Chi earned many enemies, including Sub-Zero and Scorpion, whose family Quan Chi personally destroyed. As a necromancer of the highest rank, he is considered one of the most powerful sorcerers in the Mortal Kombat universe. Also, do not forget that he is a very good fighter who masters several hand-to-hand styles.

3

Raiden

God of Thunder, protector of Earthrealm and representative of the Elder Gods. Raiden has appeared in every Mortal Kombat title and, thanks to his enormous abilities, has become one of the most beloved characters in the series. Since MK1, Raiden has complete control over electricity and can fly and teleport. While other characters have gone through notable changes in appearance and history, Raiden remains an iconic and unchanged character in the series.

2

Onaga

Known as the Dragon King, Onaga can resurrect the dead, is resistant to magic, and has the strength to match any opponent in the Mortal Kombat universe. Being a dragon, he can breathe fire, fly, and shoot fireballs from his mouth. Shao Kahn was able to defeat him using poison, which seems to be the only way this character can be defeated. The combined strength of the three characters on this list was not enough to stop him, not to mention the fact that after the explosion caused by Raiden, the Dragon King did not receive any damage.

1

Shao Kahn

Shao Khan

Antagonist of MKII and MKIII, Emperor of the Outer World and brother of Raiden, who does not take off his skull-shaped helmet and destroys opponents with cruelty and without emotion. During battle, he likes to taunt his opponent. Shao Kahn has colossal physical strength, and despite his enormous height and muscles, he is a very agile and speedy fighter. He is also very good at magic. Shao Kahn's signature weapon is the war hammer, thanks to which the emperor's already enormous physical strength is multiplied several times. Speed ​​in battle and a large array of abilities make Shao Kahn invincible for any other Mortal Kombat character.
