(2A) VERSION UPDATES

Dive into the version history of Mortal Kombat X guides, from initial map additions and gambling features to character sub-totals and coin walkthroughs.

Hey there! So, you're curious about how this guide has evolved over time? It's pretty cool to see how things have been added and polished. Let's break down the journey of the AntMag Mortal Kombat X guide, version by version.

Version History Breakdown:

  • Version 1.0: This was a big one! Maps were finally added, the Gambling and Krypt sections were completely finished up, and some general reformatting happened. The creator even mentioned that they were done... but who are we kidding? There are always questions! A FAQ section was planned for 1.1 if the inbox got too flooded.
  • Version 0.7: The Gambling feature was added here. This meant a lot of grinding for Koins to bet, and collecting data to figure out trends. The creator humorously noted they had to buy everything with fixed costs, which involved grinding rank 50 in all factions. Good luck with your wagers!
  • Version 0.6: This is where the version history itself was added. The creator admitted they didn't upload every single version, but this served as a record of their progress. Version 1.0 was held back until the ASCII maps were completed, as they were on paper but not yet prioritized for digital creation.
  • Version 0.5: Character Sub-totals were introduced. This was a lifesaver for players who wanted to focus on specific characters, providing a clear Koin goal to minimize trips to the Krypt.
  • Version 0.4: An Access/Koins Walkthrough was added. This logical step helped players understand that you need Koins to buy Koin unlocks, so spending them on those first was key. It also granted players access to everything in the Krypt whenever they wanted to revisit it.
  • Version 0.3: Excel support was integrated. This meant filtering, resorting, and totalling functions were available, making the guide much more manageable than a massive FAQ with too much information for the average player.
  • Version 0.2: The guide focused on identifying what was unlocked by each item or action. This was crucial for players who had specific purchasing priorities and wanted to know what they were getting.
  • Version 0.1: This was the foundational version, including all coordinates and prices. It was considered the bare minimum, aiming to help players find anything they might have missed right from the start.

It's pretty neat how each version built upon the last, making the guide more comprehensive and user-friendly for tackling Mortal Kombat X!

Hey there! So, one lazy Sunday, I decided to dive into creating a guide for the story mode of Mortal Kombat X. Why? Because NetherRealm Studios really knocked it out of the park with the story – it's seriously one of the best fighting game narratives ever, maybe just shy of MK9's epic tale.

This guide, specifically Version 1.00 of the Mortal Kombat X Game Script, is exclusively for GameFAQs. That means you can't just copy and paste it onto other sites without my explicit permission. If you want to chat or ask about it, my email's under 'The Final Word' section. Also, don't try to pass off any of this content as your own or use it to make money – that's a big no-no.

Just a heads-up, this guide isn't officially backed by WB Games or NetherRealm Studios. All the trademarks and copyrights belong to their rightful owners.

(3B) GENERAL INFORMATION

Get the lowdown on Mortal Kombat X's story, QTEs, and fight descriptions. Learn how the guide breaks down the action and character names.

Hey there! So you're diving into Mortal Kombat X and want to get a handle on how things work, huh? This guide's gonna walk you through the story mode step-by-step, and it's all laid out in the order you'll see it on screen. Since the story's pretty linear, you won't have to worry too much about jumping around.

Just a heads-up, MKX can get pretty intense with its language and graphic scenes. If that's not your thing, you might want to tread carefully. But hey, if you're playing the game, I'm guessing you're already cool with the mature content!

You'll notice some parts of the game have Quick Time Events (QTEs). When these pop up, we'll mark them with [QUICK TIME CUTSCENE BEGINS] and [QUICK TIME CUTSCENE ENDS]. We're showing you the perfect way to nail these, hitting every button prompt flawlessly. We'll stick to the best-case scenario here.

When the game describes a fight, you'll see a paragraph starting with "They fight." We'll break down who gets the upper hand and who wins. If there's a specific move described, like "Scorpion grabs Sub-Zero," consider that part of the story's cutscenes, not something you'll be doing in gameplay.

A quick note on spelling: I'm from the UK, so you might see some spellings that look a bit different, like "colour" instead of "color." That's just the English way! Also, if the in-game subtitles seem a little off from what's written here, it's because I've tweaked punctuation to make the dialogue flow better and match the spoken words more accurately. It's my take on it, and you're welcome to agree or disagree!

When characters speak, we'll use their first names or their well-known aliases. For example, Hanzo Hasashi is "Scorpion," and John Carlton is "Johnny Cage." If a character's name is longer than 9 letters, we'll usually just use their first name when they're talking. Here’s a quick rundown of who’s who:

  • Scorpion — Hanzo Hasashi
  • Sub-Zero — Kuai Liang
  • Johnny Cage — John Carlton
  • Cassie Cage — Cassandra Carlton
  • Takeda — Takahashi Takeda
  • Kenshi — Takahashi Kenshi
  • Kotal Kahn — Ko'atal / Buluc
  • Jax — Jackson Briggs
  • Jacqui — Jacqueline Briggs
  • Reptile — Syzoth
