Normally i wouldn't comment on leak/rumor stuff because there's always a chance of it being fake and it's better to wait when something is confirmed but the idea of Doomguy ever being in Mortal Kombat is interesting.

He's an iconic character that somehow wasn't in a fighting game yet and both Doom and MK are iconic gaming franchises with roles in videogame violence.

(And i guess both series having digitized real stuff like actors/models being used for graphics or Midway)

I do hope that Doom's portrayal comes off as "series celeberation" in a way and not just based on Eternal.

That was fine in Fortnite because it's clear crossovers there are either promotions or for the sake of memes i guess.

And with Smash, most people had low expectations and accepted the Mii outfit (Which also had the 2016 pistol).

Though you look at how Smash fused both Snakes to represent MGS and a certain mod i don't shut up about and you'll kinda get why i bring this up.

It did made me think: If Doomguy was in a 2D fighting game before, would that serve as reference for a potential Smash moveset?

(Probably not)

Something kinda funny is how people said Eternal's gore was too cartoony/safe yet with the recent MK games, there's people saying they're too realistic/have too much focus and then there's stories of devs being forced to look at real gore for reference (Like with TLOU2).

I remember seeing someone say Doomguy could be an Xbox exclusive as MS' response to when MK 2011 had Kratos in the PS3.

That did reminded me of how Halo in fightning games was either the Arbiter in Killer Instinct or an original female character in Dead or Alive (SPARTAN-458).

(I guess Chief was in Brawlhalla now that i think about it)

(I do still think a Halo and Doom crossover should be an FPS)

I can also see some people not like the idea of Doomguy being "ripped and torned" by other characters because "he's supposed to be the strongest".

Even though 2016 had first person death animations, Eternal brought back the pain noises and you know, classic bloody face, pain sounds etc.

Why else do you think Duke Nukem called him a "Doomed" space marine?

I wonder what a trailer will be like: Imagine a basic sprite animation based off the older MK games where Scorpion's about to do a fatality on Sub-zero before a BFG9000 shows up and kills him instead and then it switches to modern graphics/designs so Scorpion faces up Doomguy.

Ermac just looks weird without a face mask, though I will admit that out of all the returning characters, I didn't expect Takeda to make the roster.

As he was pretty much ignored in Mortal Kombat 11, but hey, he's still more compelling than Cole.

New info about Mortal Kombat 1's story like how Mileena's Tarkatan traits are part of a disease she has and that Scorpion and Sub-Zero are now brothers!

Along with liking that one of my ideas from my MK1 idea literature has come true, I'm intrigued by the new direction they will be going with for the long time rivals.

Though brothers, I can still seem them going though my plot point idea of them being tricked into trying to kill one another, but now I can see the moment when they realize they were set up and go after the real perks, happening sooner.

  What are your thoughts on this news?

Johnny 😎- looking for a kinder, gentler Outworld.

Kitana ⚔️- why? Because I’m a woman?

Johnny 😎- Well, that and you’re banging Liu Kang.

NRS upon deciding that locking content behind microtransactions, the konsumable gimmick, and cutting the story mode in half were a bigger priority than a good base roster, full length story mode, and treating their workers well
