Hi Mothra, random question:

Can you infodump a bit on anything Skylanders? My partner loves it (Especially Stealth Elf) and I wanna understand the pure brainrot he's got going on with it.

Hatefully yours (/silly),

Jayson Gayson

OKAY SURE. so i will tell you a bit about skylanders. the protag of the skylanders games aren't actually the skylanders. since you can swap to any skylander at any time, you can't really give them this unique role. actually, YOU, the player, are the main character. you are a Portal Master who uses the Portal of Power to bring skylanders back to their home dimension of skylands (putting the toy on the portal) after they were banished to earth and turned into statues (toys.) by the villain. so frequently people in the story will refer to The Portal Master. it doesn't actually play a role in the story that much but ive always found it neat that the sort of meta-element in toys to life is there. there's no Infinityster in Disney Infinity, no Amiibo Lord in amiibo, no Dimension Keeper in Lego Dimensions... but for skylanders, the actual act of putting the toy on the portal is incorporated into the story of the game. i think that's such a cool way to do it.

ANYWAYS. skylands is your typical Fantasy Land brimming with magic. there are other Portal Masters in skylands but theyre mostly gone. as of right now the only ones are you the player, this old guy named Master Eon, and a Dark Portal Master who is the villain of the games named Kaos. basically if invader zim was human. i do mean that literally. the big macguffin centerpiece of the magic in skylands is called the Core of Light so the first game starts with kaos destroying that. and it's up to us the portal master to send skylanders back to skylands temporarily in order to stop this looming threat.

throughout the series you also need people to bounce off and follow in cutscenes, so you do get a trio of deuteragonists as well! flynn, an egotistical pilot, hugo, a nervous scholar, and cali, who's spunky and helps train skylanders. they're pretty cute i grew to love them as time went on

(there they are. Trio)

anyways yeah thats basically the story. the Good Guys try to stop the Bad Guy from whatever New Macguffin pops up, which is typically tied into a brand spanking new line of Collectible Toys. capitalism rejoice.

skylanders giants (game 2)- kaos tries to revive this lost ancient civilization full of EVIL ROBOTS (COOL AS HELL) named the arkeyans. some really big skylanders called the giants got banished by the arkeyans a long time ago. i really like the arkeyans, i think the concept of skylands having this fantasy-robot ancient civilization instead of a future civilization is just. chefs kiss. the arkeyans dont exactly go away in the series either, cos even though they never get a major role again, you still see them in setpieces and stuff. my favourite level in the next game is an ARKEYAN GRAVEYARD. LIKE HELLO!! THATS SO COOL

this is the old arkeyan king, with his Iron Fist of Arkus, but FUN FACT, THERE ARE A FEW ARKEYANS WHO ARE SKYLANDERS!!

that first guy, krypt king, is all the way from game 4. so yeah the arkeyans are always subtly there. love it love it.

skylanders swap force (game 3)- the dev studio switches from toys for bob to vicarious visions, and to reflect that, there ends up being an entirely new Locale and Supporting Cast. flynn takes a vacation to the Cloudbreak Islands and meets some new other furries. these islands have these four Elementals who can do a magic eruption thing at a volcano. very powerful-old-magic of them. the swap force are skylanders who can swap tops and bottoms (the NFC tech on these were actually quite impressive) and kaos' plan ties into the gimmick because this magic volcano blast that banished the swap force way back when is happening again and he wants to use it to Turn Everything Evil with evil crystals. lovely

this dude is straight up a chocobo

skylanders trap team (game 4)- NEW GAME NEW GIMMICK. basically back in the day there were these Really Big Bad Villains called the Doom Raiders who get locked in prison with this nigh-unbreakable material called Traptanium. but kaos is an idiot who breaks them out because he knows no peace. the skylanders this time are called Trap Masters because they all have traptanium weapons (crystal weapons that kinda rocks) and another gimmick is that they sold these little plastic traps in stores and had a new slot in the portal where you could capture villains and play with them and theyd commentate on how you did. toys for bob is also back so they went back to the original supporting cast but they did add some new faces

there the doom raiders are ^ thats kaos in the middle btw. neglected to show you him but there he is. i think their designs are pretty cool. i like them :] this is the game that got me into skylanders but my little brother had been collecting them since spyro's adventure

skylanders superchargers (game 5)- so uh. this game's gimmick is Cars?

yeah. but also for some unexplainable reason, the plot this time is about THE END OF THE WORLD. the literal embodiment of darkness (...creatively just called The Darkness yeah i know.) has Reawakened and is basically using kaos as a pawn to destroy skylands to harvest its Surplus of Magic so he can use it as fuel to CONQUER other worlds. greater-good-of-bad type of thing. but kaos is REALLY hung up on that fact. because he really wants to RULE the world, not destroy it. for some reason. almost like he was an unloved child who finds solace in evil and was always seeking that twisted sort of validation and belonging. who knows. who knows. not me. maybe im looking too deep into this. he fires the only person whos ever stuck by him but when the world is Almost destroyed he realizes his mistakes and turns on the darkness and helps defeat it basically. and that means all his dark powers are gone but he says he'll work as the skylanders' Evil Consultant. basically antihero-redeemed. i kinda love that. and i realize how similar this sounds to a plot of a certain movie to Those Who Know. which may explain why i love this game.

^these divas

i realize how biased this summary is around my favourite character and im sorry. the good guys are off trying to stop the end of the world its very fun.

skylanders imaginators (game 6)- WHY IS THIS SERIES STILL GOING THAT WAS A PERFECT ENDING. anyways the skylanders brand has for a while now been selling us junk that Arent skylanders figures. in trap team there were the traps in superchargers there were cars. and now. These

now YOU can create your OWN SKYLANDER! WOWWWWWW!! idk im over it. imaginators you are nothing to me. they did also have a line of regular figures to pick up called Senseis. those were cool. kaos finally got a proper figure. that was cool. but the plot has kaos going back to his Old Ways and using the magic you use to create your own skylanders to create his own evil doomlanders. and by the end he goes super saiyan. and he becomes tiny and they lock him in a jar. and that's how the series ends now. thanks imaginators.

they also have a core lineup of original skylanders (like the aforementioned stealth elf! and spyro and eruptor and shit) who would tag along with you on levels to get Synergy with the brand-new netflix series Skylanders Academy. yeah sure who even cares anymore. (IM SORRY I DONT LIKE IMAGINATORS. I AM NOT IMMUNE TO MY OWN PROPAGANDA)

look at this though. these are all the elements skylanders can be.

thus ends my rant

Sharing Some OCs

Hi hey! I have uhh… a Jedi and a handful of half baked clone sketches I did when I was bored (there’s a few more but post is already long)

also this is a real long post and I apologize

——————————————————————————————————

Jedi OC

Dunno how effective his pole staff works but hey it’s cool and does exist canonically -

——————————————————————————————————

Clones - most of my sillies are clones rn. Currently I’m working out a battalion that’ll be my little clone collection but I also have an oddball squad that’s a little mix of canonical characters and ocs

451st Battalion Clones

not all my babes are drawn out but a few are- they are incredibly rough though and we’re drawn when I was just finishing up the clone wars show

Commander Delgado/ CC-8933

Captain Maverick/ CT-4751

First Lieutenant Makeshift / CT-9663

Second Lieutenant Krypt / CT-5769

That’s it for my boys rn, but I’ll slowly start making my way through the rest of them- with my stuff still being fidgeted around I’ll most likely change the 451st boys into being 176th and go under my Jedi OC.

——————————————————————————————————

Marines

I have two marines Port/CT-3742 and Starboard/CT-5065. They got their names because of the directions of the numbers (Port’s are all facing left and Star’s are mostly facing right). But what’s silly about them is they’re always on opposite sides with Starboard seen on the left of Port and vice versa especially when they walk. Why is that you ask? Well it’s because while most clones are ambidextrous they still have preferred hands; for Port that’s his right and for Starboard it’s his left. They’re both little shits that when combined make one half of a braincell and that’s all they got and they definitely gaslight the shinies into thinking they have port and starboard mixed up. They were based off of two orcas with the same names.

——————————————————————————————————

Oddball Squad Clones

so the oddballs are essentially clones that look too different or are deformed due to genetic degradation, you can think of them as being like 99 but being the precursors to the bad batch. As stated earlier it’s a mix between canon and non canon clones. As of right now there are

Two canon clones - Captain Vaughn and Commander Blackout

I have not drawn Commander Blackout but he has aniridia which is an eye condition where there is little to no pupil in the iris, causing vision issues. For him it’s not too severe, he needs some corrective measures in his helmet but can see even without them, but he does have light sensitivity and often gets migraines due to fluctuating pressure changes behind his eyes. He also has incredibly dark eyes and blackout styled tattoos that start from his upper back then go down to his pecs and down his arms, also has some on his calves.

Vaughn I have drawn- he has vitiligo that in the photo mainly collects on his face with multiple different layers of different skin pigmentation showing, but it is a full body thing (it even goes to his hair). But it’s one of the main reasons he keeps his helmet it on for long periods of time

There’s 4 non canon clones right now: Whiteout, Zombie, Caid, and Discovery. Both Whiteout and Zombie have sketches but Discovery and Caid don’t.

Caid (Kade)

Caid’s thing is that he is completely mute due to the fact that his larynx never developed. He’s got some skin warping and scarring over his throat from it. He has quite of a few scars over his face and notably knuckles because he throws himself into every battle. He’s a little spicy and sassy. you can think of him as Bumblebee from the transformer series if you’ve seen that. Right now his backstory is a little wobbly but everyone in the oddball squad usually has multiple facets of training if they can. Caid mainly works as a nursery care taker and watching over the tubies and the other very young clones but he also goes on high stake reconnaissance missions to gather intel. The way he communicates is mainly though GHS (Galactic Hand Signing- my SW version of an international sign language) and he also has short field commands embedded into the com device in his vambrace (he usually has a data pad on him too to type out anything he needs).

Discovery

Discovery has two major deformities that affect his arms; his left arm barely ever developed and ends mid bicep and his right arm stops just after his elbow for a few inches. For this he was given cybernetic replacements but he’s mostly used as a lab rat for testing, he doesn’t like it but it hardly squashes his never ending child like curiosity with the world he’s been exposed to. Usually getting him in trouble with Vaughn and frequently visiting Whiteout, the medic.

Whiteout/ CT-8651

Whiteout has full albinism, from his skin to his eyes, and while they aren’t true twins- he and blackout consider themselves ones as they have been in the squadron the longest. Whiteout specializes in being a medic but also does pretty well with a sniper. He’s incredibly soft spoken and sweet and occasionally gets a stutter but he’s trying his best. Especially with Zombie watching over him now he feels safer to stand up for himself.

Zombie

now .. the zombie explanation has to be a little lighter for the sake of ages and tumblr. I cant sugar coat this exactly but I won’t go into the nasty details.. Zombie got his name dude to the fact he was put back together with parts that belonged to other squad members. It was a suicide mission and none of them came back alive but they were used in an experiment by one of Nala Se’s apprentices. He got his name zombie 1) from his lack of talking 2) his usually stone cold or mildly agitated exterior and 3) from the fact his scarring show off how he was literally stitched back together.

He wasn’t originally part of the oddball squad since on his original body his only odd thing was the fact he and green eyes but after he comes back he very quickly gets pulled into it. He has an absolute soft spot for Whiteout and is the equivalent to scary attack dogs with separation anxiety

Whiteout and Zombie as of right now will eventually be tagged on to 104th with Wolffe and Caid might be going into 212th or works mostly under them for missions.

that’s all for now lovelies, thank you for reading!💕

What my ideal modern Mortal Kombat game would be like

When MK's next game does happen, it needs to truly be great and win back the fans who were otherwise turned off by New MK1, or even the NRS timeline in general.

First and foremost...no multiverse or time travel shenanigans anymore. This time, it's a hard reboot that goes back to basics as best as it can while still working on its own.

The actual Mortal Kombat tournament is a big deal again, and similar to MK9, the story mode would cover it along with the Outworld tournament and invasion. There would also be story DLC where Shinnok is the main villain.

Liu Kang is the main character again because nobody can carry the story quite like he can (they tried to replace him with Shujinko, Taven, Cole Young, and even the Cage family, but none of them worked very well).

However, instead of sticking to just the Klassic 2D era, I would actually go with a mix of both 2D and 3D eras. You would have the OG veterans like Liu Kang, Scorpion, Sub-Zero, and Kitana, but also the 3D favorites like Kenshi and Li Mei. You would even get some characters who debuted in the NRS era like Erron Black, and newcomers who could very much fit in MK.

The gameplay would be akin to MKX with its faster speed, but without variations, and with Fatal Blows instead of X-Ray moves. In addition to the single player gameplay, you would also have Tag Kombat, and even Handicap Kombat (2-on-1 gameplay), which would make it similar to games like Tekken Tag Tournament and the Capcom crossovers with Marvel and SNK.

I know that Tag Kombat apparently wasn't played much in MK9, but come on, folks definitely would have wanted Tag Kombat, especially since Kameos didn't fare much better.

The customization would be better (think Tekken or Injustice 2, but without Gear pieces affecting gameplay). You would have Test Your Might, Test Your Sight, Test Your Strike, and Test Your Luck returning too. Towers would return too, and they would be loaded with challenges.

Speaking of returning game modes...The Krypt definitely would come back, and you get so much kontent like different shaders, costumes, gear pieces, concept art, even goodies like fan art, videos, behind the scenes, stuff like promos and posters for the games and movies, etc.

As for guest DLC? Despite guests being such a debated topic among fans, I'd at least bring back Spawn, Jason Voorhees, and Freddy Krueger (actually played by Robert Englund, this time). Beyond them, the sky's the limit.

No random numbering or subtitles, just call it Mortal Kombat again. Fans can still call it MK13 or whatever (depending on what year it comes out in).

If you disagree with any of this, it's all good.

Good fucking LORD that was time consuming.

Platinum #123 - Mortal Kombat 1

Soooo. Lots of thoughts on this one. All under a read more, so I'll just put my mains here because I love them:

Fighters:

- Shang Tsung (obvs)

- Sindel (obvs)

- Quan Chi

Kameos:

- Sektor

- Sonya

- Frost

I stand by it being the weakest to date. It is still boss, but blatantly under construction still and I'm convinced that "accidental" announcement from that WB exec speech or whatever it was wasn't accidental at all. Blatantly putting pressure on NRS to release before they were ready imo. But we'll never know.

The big change this time around is the kameo system. I'm not keen on it. Finding a kombo where you can actually use them to add some spice to it is reeeally satisfying but those moments are a bit too few and far between. A more complex moveset for each fighter would have been a better use of their time, especially when a lot of them still play a little bit basic.

Invasions is essentially just a series of random fights with pretty backgrounds and some konsumables. It's fine. I preferred being able to cycle through 11's Towers of Time browsing what was new, character towers etc., and of course the Krypt, but I understand it needs to change. Can't just repeat yourself forever. I do like the little one shot storylines they have going on each season and the themed skins though. I also like the elemental damage spin they added and how it encourages you not to just steam through the whole thing on your main, it gives you a nudge to mix it up.

Story is flawless. Fucking love it, they hit the restart button perfectly and the world/character changes are superb. No complaints there at all, looking forward to the expansion.

The store is the most predatory to date. Okay, kosmetics being paywalled... cheeky as fuck, not really on in a game that cost full price, but okay. Warner Bros etc.. But fatalities?! Announcers?! Absolutely outrageous and it's crossed the line. Either make it free to play and have all that nonsense or make everything unlockable in game. They know we all hate this, they're just banking on some edge lord getting a hold of his mum's credit card. There's just no fucking need. So unrelentingly greedy.

ANYWAY. Overall, fantastic as always, but some fatal flaws hold it back from reaching the dizzying highs of 11.

Played local versus the whole afternoon!

My sister stuck with Reptile, indeed. At the end she gave other characters a chance too, but Reptile seems to be her fav. As a kameo she liked Motaro

I spent many mornings thinking of funny character+kameo combinations, but I had never thought of what character+kameo vs character+kameo combinations would be funny as well. We played two that I really liked

First was me as Johnny+Sonya vs sis as Kenshi+Sonya. The intro was one in which Johnny seems to be quoting something at Kenshi, I didn’t get the reference, but the thing that matters is that he was speaking in a sexy voice. We both scolded him for flirting right in front of both his wives

Second was me as Scorpion+Subs vs sis as Subs+Scorpion. I hadn’t realized that was a thing that you could do. Most aesthetic and thematic fight ever. Also at some point I realized that 1) sis was playing as her main main like in the old times 2) we were playing two siblings again 3) this time I somehow am the youngest sibling. 10/10 want to play this combination again

Finally got to watch some intros, it was really fun

We are all upset that you can’t unlock anything playing only local though. Nothing at all, at least mk11 let you have currency that you could spend in the krypt, and also you could level up your profile. No one else here will be interested in playing Invasions, we don’t subscribe to ps plus and even if it was required who wants to play online versus when you do have people to play local with?? So in short there will never be anything unlocked in anyone’s profile here but mine

(Are local versus only players really so rare that no one thinks of us or do they just don’t usually care about unlockables? We certainly have always cared about unlockables, and we like having a cute kombat card even if we never use it online lol)

Oh, also, I have all my kosmetics set to randomize all, but for some reason every time I picked Reptile in my profile he always had one of the green New Era skins, which made my sister complain about how her son doesn’t get any new clothes like everyone. I wanted her to see the seasonal Light skins because they are so ugly she would certainly appreciate the New Era ones more, but they never showed up

How to Play Mortal Kombat Armageddon Online on PS2 In The Year of Our Lord 2023

So while everyone else is playing Guilty Gear Xrd Rev 2 with that new fancy rollback netcode update on PC my ass is out here playing Mortal Kombat Armageddon online on PS2 and partying like it's 2006.

"How?" one might ask, "GameSpy shut down in 2014 and Sony's own DNAS servers died a few years later". Well my friend who didn't actually ask, the answer is a really cool private server. It's hosted at PS2Online.com and runs on the OpenSpy software that acts as a replacement server for games that originally connected to GameSpy. Since some friends actually did ask how to set it up I've written this little guide. It covers both PCSX2 and real hardware.

Emulator Prep: First off, you're gonna want the PCSX2 Nightly Builds. These make PCSX2 actually a good emulator. Thankfully it's right upfront on their site

Of course you'll also need the ISO for the game. I'm not sure if region matters but to be safe I'll recommend the vanilla NTSC version. Get this wherever you get your totally legally acquired PS2 games. Open Settings>Network & HDD, enable the Ethernet checkbox and set it to whatever network adapter you're using. You'll have the option for Packet Capture (PCAP) based options as well as Sockets. Personally PCAP Switched has worked best for me but your mileage may vary and I recommend jumping between em if one doesn't work. You'll need NPCAP (https://npcap.com/) installed for the PCAP options.

Tab over to Internal DNS tab and click Add to set the following shown in the image. The important part is having the DNS Address of 45.7.228.197 as this will connect you to PS2Online's OpenSpy server. Don't forget to enable the checkbox as well.

In-Game Stuff (Also applies for Real Hardware) First you gotta make your in-game profile if you haven't already. Then just go to the MK Online option in the main menu.

Select "Create Or Modify" when asked for a connection. This will open your Network Settings Menu. -From here proceed with the default settings until you reach the DNS setting. Set that to Manual then input the PS2Online DNS (45.7.228.197) and the secondary to 1.1.1.1 If all is well you should pass the connection test

Save the name and settings and you are officially connected to OpenSpy, the GameSpy replacement service. Exit out back to the BIOS and start the game from in the BIOS. Go back to the MK Online menu and select your newly made network settings. You'll see a login screen where you make your Online Kombat account and then you're good to go.

There's some hidden characters and stages at the start but those can be unlocked via krypt codes.

Would I recommend playing it like this? Ehhhh, these days you can use Dolphin to play the Wii version online with way better netcode but doing it through OpenSpy does mean using custom characters and not having to play Motor Kombat in splitscreen. It also can be played from real hardware, giving the game a sort of crossplay with people playing on PC via PCSX2. Regardless if you're playing on real hardware or not be prepared for some real jank, and have fun!

Annon-Guy: MK11 - I hate Kronika...

It's been a while since I played Mortal Kombat 11, but from what I remember:

Kronika loves to teleport and spam projectiles, so your safest bets are Jump Kicks and Crouching Punches.

Crouching Punches work well regardless of what side she's attacking from, and they low-profile.

Jump Kicks, (especially kicking immediately after a jump) are pretty effective on a lot of characters in this game, and they're universal, so it applies to any character regardless of movelist).

Last but not least, I only ever fight Kronika in the Towers if I absolutely have to (usually it's the first Tower story phase of each character, and after that it doesn't matter as much, so you're actually better off letting the A.I. auto-fight this battle for you).

Beyond that, once you get past her, for later tougher endurance challenges and no-good enemies, all you really need are a cycle of really good spam projectiles and/or Assist items… you can forge those easily enough in the Krypt (Reddit has Krypt Forge guides, so look those up).

My favorite combination of items is Super Armor/Blood Bat/Shurikens (Reiko's move), these three let you get away with most bosses and they're easy to make… then just spam them with the analog stick or whatever.

After you clear your main's challenges, they'll randomly drop enhancements you can add to equipment and make your character stronger (this doesn't apply as much online as it does offline, but it's more fun offline).

Who does Arrie main in Mortal Kombat?

{ holy fucc it’s a wild anon }{ if anybody comes @ me for picking low tier characters i stg im gonna find out where u live and steal ur fuckin joints }

Okay so since this ask didn’t specify which MK game, nor whether or not I could include DLC characters, I’m just gonna go over every game Arrie would’ve played, counting DLC characters. In theory, Arrie would’ve played MK vs. DC, but ahh... I think it’s kinda weird, considering she’s interacted with DC characters, so I’m just gonna skip that one lmao.

NOW, onto her mains! Arrie didn’t play often, and when she did, it was just among friends and/or her siblings. She’s also not really that conscious of tier lists - she knows they exist, and she definitely knows who the S tier characters would’ve been for each game, but otherwise, she could give less of a shit about them. She’s only ever played for fun.

MK9: Kenshi. Easily one of Arrie’s favourite MK characters in general. She loves his abilities, his story and his aesthetic. He’s also her other main in MKX, and was maybe a bit salty about his implied death in MK11′s Krypt mode. Most importantly though, she’ll juggle a bitch with Kenshi just to make them rage if they deserve it. 

MKX: Alien. Acidic Alien especially, though she’s also really good with Tarkatan Alien (cuz again, juggles for the meme haha), in case it matters to anyone lmao. Part of it is just a personal bias of liking the Alien franchise. Another part of it was that she found Alien’s move set way too easy to pick up, so she was pretty quickly able to master it. That, and she finds it really really cool that the tail’s used in a few moves.

MK11: Kung Lao / Fujin. Kinda cheated on this one, but to be fair, MK11 is the game she’s played the least, and every time she has, she usually picks one or the other. She’s a fan of both characters as well, and every much enjoys the visual aspects of both characters, in their aesthetics and move animations. She’s also maybe a sucker for Fujin’s bioluminescent markings, but shh, we don’t talk about that.

[nothinginlifebutmist]

Ok so is Netherrealm Studios just not gonna make Kronika a playable character in Mortal Kombat 11?

I mean, with the Ultimate edition of MK11 coming out, you'd think they'd try to squeeze in the main antagonist.

And does anyone know if they're gonna expand the Krypt at some point?

What Would the World Look Like Without Mortal Kombat X SOULS Generator?

Functions better if you have a strong tool or spell to dispatch the slimes rapidly. Works finest prior to your kill the area boss as your mankind will gradually boost also.

My Individual Tier List For Mkx Mobile

He is really fast, so de-equiping whatever for optimal speed is best. As you come close to the stairways, go to the right of them and also press your character right into the edge in between the base of the stairways as well as the ledge of the high cliff. As the enemies method, their AI pathing will certainly lead them up the stairs, and afterwards over the side to obtain you. They must after that glimpse off your head and also be up to their ruin.

Is It Time To Prohibit Xmas Presents?

It's likewise the area to fairly state Kenshi's silver, given that, well, he's not a gold. Go to Oolacile Town bonfire, usage dried fingers, wait on invader to generate. Stand near them and use the Rock Greatsword 2HR2 or Tranquill Stroll of Tranquility and complete them o1ff with Dark Grain.

In Anor Londo there are 12 silver knights located in the palace location. When you first get in the palace there is a bonfire on your left with the door. Leave that area at the far end and down the staircases to return to the bonfire. Note that there is no restriction on the amount of times you can reenergize your characters' health, though the boost in recharge expense will certainly top at 100 Souls. All of the provided approaches are effective ways to farm and also get soul fragments inMortal Kombat 11. However, one of the most efficient methods to farm these consumables is the CPU oriented tower technique.

Genuinely, some fire columns are most likely to miss and also you're mosting likely to have to take care of a couple of staying Phalanx with your main tool or re-cast of the spell. If you're not overkilling the last few ones every other run, plus a few included secs, you are still gathering at around 21.000 souls ordinary, on a run lasting between seconds. This method is primarily the exact same technique as the farming for green titanite technique. The obvious benefit is that you obtain shard declines together with the heart farming. Basically go to the bonfire behind the locked door in the midsts kill the 2 hollows as well as sludges in the hallway just outside.

This method calls for making use of Kenshi's blindfold in order to discover the undetectable ninja.

Among the several methods to ranch soul pieces is with the Reptile make use of.

As stated Kenshi's blindfold is the only way to see Reptile when he is unseen, once in view simply strike him with Shao Kahn's hammer to kill him.

This technique needs players to constantly and also continually eliminate the character Reptile within the Krypt.

Then rinse as well as duplicate till you receive a preferable quantity of heart fragments.

In order to farm Reptile gamers should instantly back out of the Krypt then reenter the game setting and also head to whichever place he will certainly be hiding.

With every one of the opponents dead and also overkilled while wearing both reward things, yield from Phalanx adversaries alone is at ~ 11.800 souls at NG, and 20.192 souls in NG+. This, combined with the Undead you killed at approach and two even more you're mosting likely to eliminate when returning, returns at around 23.500 souls in excellent run.

Be sure to have 99 Repair Powder if you utilize the Stone Greatsword. MORTALKMOBILEGUIDE.INFO Set your generate at the Lordvessel bonfire, you'll be given 20 Estus for the area, and open the door. From the bonfire run directly down the staircase as well as adhere to the path, taking as much time as you require to appreciate the views. All 5 will certainly drop upgrade pieces, titanite, red, white, and blue pleasantly (all upgrade materials will drop 100% of the time at 10 humanity).

When approaching the NPCs in the woodland, run right at the Sorcerer NPC. He will cast Heart Arrow, yet his goal is sluggish and also it needs to go over your shoulder or strike a tree. As you approach the high cliff face, the Priest on the right will observe you as well as begin to strategy. Ignore him and also proceed straight till the Warrior with the Axe resting on the top of the Cliff stands to seek you. Keep the glowing blossom on your left, and run straight in the direction of the stairways once again. You have currently walked around the semi-invisible Thief, and also he should adhere to as well.

It allows for a passive boost in soul fragment earnings and if your CPU is powerful sufficient, it can supply big payouts. Make certain to customize your perfect CPU in order to get one of the most from this certain approach. When you have obtained a huge enough quantity of pieces you can enjoy the extensive globe of the Krypt as you unlock and get intriguing items and also equipment. Despite the fact that it may need time to farm these products, completing your collection of products and gear will certainly be enough to warrant the time spent.

Upgrade To Better Characters:.

If they get stuck on trees as well as turn away, leave the corner and also run out as well as circle them once again to get their focus prior to returning. They will always exit the woodland area faraway from the cliff, thus forcing them to take the stairways as they come close to and also fall when they reach you.This nets 7000 souls with almost absolutely no danger. Even if you stop working, your bloodstain is constantly within running range. If eliminated, the gamer character will certainly often wind up at the first bonfire on the degree in spite of not resting there just recently.

Hiii I'm excited about the contest but I'm a little lost? You're info just says surprise you, but what exactly are we supposed to be drawing? I'm assuming something involving the Miya Twins, but what are the restrictions, is there a theme, is it supposed to be a sketch or a fully-rendered zine piece, can we submit more than one work??

Hello! First of all we apologize for the confusion! 

1. The theme is 'slice of life'. The main focus should be the Miya Twins, while other characters are allowed. Ships can be implied.

2. Restrictions: the piece should be SFW.   

3. The submitted piece should be completed. 

4. You can only submit 1 work per category. 

Hopefully this helps!

Mortal Kombat Akademy

In between my work on the 31 Days of Original Characters challenge, I've begun to revisit my plans for the big Mortal Kombat story I'd wanted to do for awhile; Mortal Kombat Akademy. I've done a lot of character busts with backstory info and I did a sort of "season one" plots but this is something I'm not really satisfied with anymore. I'm gonna spend the new year trying to readjust and rework the overall story and characters to something more workable. Here's a few odds and ends of what I've planned so far;

Story Outline

Shaolin Monks, Lui Kang and Kung Lao, are recruited into the Mortal Kombat Akademy, the secret fighting school located on the island paradise of international crimelord, Shang Tsung. But those who step foot on the island are subjected to terrors beyond comprehension once they learn the true purpose of the school; a training ground for the soldiers of an interdimensional tyrant who conquers by use of a fighting tournaments ordained by the gods themselves. But one of the gods, Raiden, is willing to give Earth a fighting chance by training as many chosen Earthlings as he can so they may finally defeat the forces of evil in the Mortal Kombat tournament.

Kinda bare bones but for plot synopsis go, it helps me sort of make a launching pad for the ideas. Like my original idea, the story is still primarily about Lui Kang and Kung Lao going to the school and meeting/befriending the typical heroes of the Mortal Kombat world, Raiden being their mentor and Shang Tsung being the big bad to overcome.

But the story ideas I had just don’t really cut it for me now. I feel as though I was sort of putting the cart before the horse by putting so much time making elaborate details instead of snowballing one idea to make a big bright idea. I’ve made some titles for them;

Start the Semester!

Tour the Akademy!

Prepare for the First Exams!

Bond Like Your Lives Depend On It!

Learn the Fatalities!

Wills and Testaments!

Survive the Detetionrealm!

Survive the First Round of Exams!

Survive the Second Round of Exams!

Survive the Last Round of Exams!

Party Your Asses Off!

Mortal Kombat Akademy V. The DC Universe: Dawn of Pain!

To give some context to them, I had a storyarc planned; Early on, Raiden would want the Earthrealm class (the class would have Kang, Lao, Johnny, Sonya, Jax, Stryker and Nightwolf) to be friends and allies in order to survive the matches and save the world. Easier said than done when so many personalities were clashing together. And once they learn about fatalities, the class goes through some mental anguish over having to kill or be killed, Kang being the only one vowing to never kill anyone, to the disbelief of everyone else. Things start looking up once the class starts to trust and respect one another and become stronger fighters.

But Kano, on the behalf of Goro’s Class (Mileena, Kitana, Jade, Baraka, Sheeva, Skarlet, Reptile, Tanya and Kano himself) frames Sonya and Johnny for a crime, leading to Professor Quan Chi to exile them to the “Detention Realm” where his goons, Drahmin and Moloch, deal out the punishments. My idea for them that they’d be bumbling and dim so Johnny and Sonya could escape them, bonding while trying to make it to the final exams. Everyone but Kang and Lao have been defeated and since Sonya and Johnny were late, it’d all be up to them to beat Goro. Once Goro beast Lao half to death, Kang faces his fears and manages to defeat Goro without killing him, but not without making him suffer for all the pain he’s caused.

The class’ reward for passing the exams is an-all expense paid vacation to Edenia, which is basically a hellhole built to Shao Kahn’s pleasure. Here, Kang and Kitana get some alone time to romantically connect to one another during the celebratory feast hosted by Kitana and Mileena’s parents, Shao Kahn and Sindel. But really, the feast is for the Kahns to asses the threat that Raiden’s students hold to their long term plans. And finally, the DCU story is just a fun breather where I have the mid-1990s versions of their heroes (Superman with a mullet, Batman Forever styled Batman and the two Wonder Women, Artemis and Diana, for example).

And after rereading what I had for plots, I noticed how little the Lin Keui featured into the stories since I designed a lot of them for the series. Should try to fix that somehow.

Overall Art Style

As I stated in previous MKA concept art, I based the art style on the look of Steven Universe. I still intend for the project to be written fanfiction, but I do wish to have some elements of it to be drawn by myself. Not a full adaptation but maybe a full page illustration of each chapter, along with the general character/environment sketches, or like the ending credits of The Mandalorian series.

But back to the art style, I wish to change it. I can’t really go further on the style of Steven Universe if this story is going to be about such heavy violence and gore. It wouldn’t really look right, might cross over into unintentional hilarity or into the uncanny valley. I’m looking at something like the artist One, the man behind One Punch Man and Mob Psycho 100 whose style is really unique, fast, sketchy and frenetic, all attributes I think will work well. I also love the anime aesthetic of the 1990s so that’s definitely a goal to achieve since I’m setting the story in 1995.

Story Ideas To Keep

* Koins: My idea for an in-canon reason for the koins you win in matches (at least in Mks 9-11, IDK how far back they go) to unlock Krypt stuff will be used as a way for the students to buy things like food, clothing and resurrections due to being killed by another student’s fatalities since its primarily a learning facility instead of a battlefield. Though if you’re broke, you’re not gonna be saved. Koins, like in the games, will be given for performing a fatality and a moral choice comes up when you think “do I do good and be paid less, or do something terrible but get more chances of being resurrected if I die?”

*Profiles: I’ve got to do some rewrites for the characters. Nothing too too major since I do like a lot of what I wrote, but its more to streamline it to fit in the new direction I’m doing. Like, having Sonya, Jax and Stryker being Hall Monitors, I don’t think something like that is gonna be part of my story since I’m trying to take it a tad more seriously. The idea of Detention Realm and having Dharmin and Moloch as lovable henchmen is still canon, as far as I’m concerned. Think the two mice henchmen from the film “Flushed Away”. And on a final note, the newly retconned origin for Sindel...that shit isn’t gonna be part of my story.

Overall, whatever backstories that’ll be changed will likely be on a case by case basis. No telling who or what will be changed right now, but I’ve now thought of some parts to start with.

Diversity and Inclusion

This one is probably gonna be one of the hardest to accomplish since I really want to make the series really diverse with body types, genders and sexuality, race, neurodiversity, that type of subject matter. Inclusion is really important to me, and I’m scared how I might screw it up like how Disney, JK Rowling, SNL, Simpsons, Big Mouth, Voltron so many more screw it all up since they all serve the needs of the capitalist, neoliberal status quo over the voices of the marginalised.

And with that, brings up some more challenges. Will I make so many diverse original characters that they take time away from the canon characters? Should I make more canon MK characters differently diverse?

I'm also planning on having the characters display prejudices and bigotries but I'm scared I'll go in too much of "Bright" territory, if you know what I mean.

Tackling Mature Content

I mean, it goes without saying that the series is going to be full of violence and gore since that’s basically in the DNA of Mortal Kombat in the first place. But there’s much more serious topics I want to try to write. Like the effects of abuse, queer rights, the above themes about diversity and inclusion, the seemingly never ending war and the ideas of the long defeat. Of course, my chapters will be marked with as clear as possible content warnings, those are important.

A Shared Universe

A month ago, I watched a video about Midway trying to recreate the success of Mortal Kombat into other fighting games. The video, “Remember when Midway tried to copy Mortal Kombat?” talked about three would-be franchises of Midway fighting games; Mace: The Dark Age, War Gods and Bio FREAKS. After watching the video and reading about the games, I think it’d be good for lore if they were integrated into my story. Mace and War Gods could be used as part of the backstory of the series. Like the idea of the Earthrealm Kombatants being the descendants of the characters of Mace and War Gods, maybe Raiden was involved with the later, I’m not sure. Bio FREAKS could be latter used if I go into a time travel story. Maybe a mix of the game and the story/characters of Mortal Kombat X. As for Midway’s other successful but overlooked franchise, Killer Instinct, that is probably going to be the most recurring element in the shared universe. UltraTech, the main villains of the series would be the people behind such things as Kano’s cyborg eye, the Lin Keui’s Cyber Initiative and being the rulers of Neo-Amerika in the Bio FREAKS timeline. I also wrote in the profiles of Nightwolf and Sub-Zero that the Killer Instinct universe is linked to my story (one of his divorced parents is dating one of the parents of KI’s Black Eagle and Thunder while Glacius was an alien that helped give Cryomancers their powers).

And on a side note, there is another Midway MK clone called Primal Rage, which I swear I had one of the toys based on it and saw a parody of it on an episode of Dexter’s Laboratory. Its pretty gruesome, its a bunch of savage Kaiju in a post-apocalyptic earth that resembles the stone age. Probably an alternate timeline/dimension if I use it in my series. Who knows, maybe elements of the worlds of Street Fighter and or God of War could make an appearance...

Writing the Damned Thing

Probably the absolute hardest part of this entire thing. I struggle with actually keeping attention to writing since I’m primarily a visual artist and it feels terrible to not even follow through on any idea I have and it just kinda sits and collects dust in my brain. If its sketching and rendering, I can do it. If its writing shit down, I just have executive dysfunction when it comes to it. I never know where to start writing it, how to continue writing it, how to finish it or how to put it all together cohesively.

I can’t do this without at least writing the complete first season, if I do it on a semi-regular basis, nothing is going to be done. Even like, less than a week of non-recurring writing is like a poison to me. I don’t know how, but if I make room for an hour or two of writing a day every day might help me get more prepared for longer writing.

In Conclusion

When will the first chapter be done? I don’t know. When will I start writing? Hopefully as soon as I can. I can try to post updates or work in progresses, but that’s still a pipe dream, in my honest opinion. But I want to make progress in 2020, I need to make a difference and to actually make this coming year worthwhile.

[evasivaardilosa]

The other thing that I want to talk about is the Invasion mode because it is exactly the gameplay thing I was waiting to see since it will replace the krypt

This rant may be a little more personal

It kinda reminds me of the mkm Krypt, which was recently released. It is also a board game thing, with some squares being fights and others being rewards. It seems like it will also replace towers of time as the main 1p mode?

It looks cool, the scenery is nice, I love references (something the mk11 krypt did very well)

It seems like sometimes you fight generic versions of the characters? Like:

“Hatchling”, “Ice fighter”, there were others too

And having little side stories there is amazing, even if they are not canon (idk if they are, we’ll have to wait and see)

And here is where my worries begin

There will be one story per season. The seasons will certainly start repeating at some point, but even so, to see a certain story you will have to play during a certain time. I hate this. I already know I won’t be able to play from the start because no console. Fortunately I can see the stories on youtube, people will certainly post them, but it’s frustrating that I can’t just play at my own pace

And if the rewards are linked to a season and can only be obtained during it… then bye bye dreams of completing them

(I have no idea if I will ever finish the race against time rewards on mk11 for this exact reason, and a good (maybe the only good) aspect of the random rewards is not having to wait the whole year some towers take to show up again)

We also still don’t know if the rewards are set - each one is always in the same chest in the same place for everyone - or random. But if this mode is the only place to get them then it’s already an improvement from mk11, where there are the towers and the krypt, and some stuff could be on either

We also don’t know if it gives you the characters to play as or if you can choose your own, but it seems it’s possible to get rewards for characters without playing them, which would be such a relief for me…

No thoughts on the rpg-like stats, I’m in for anything that could make it easier for me to play but idk if it’s the case. I’m a little worried about the puzzle thing… it seems test your might is back and I hate it so much, both in mkx and mkm. That level with Kung Lao jumping to avoid powers also seems to be something I wouldn’t be able to do

But in the end, despite everything, it looks more fun than anything we have in mk11 right now. I play the towers out of obligation, but I don’t find them fun. The krypt was fun at the beginning but it becomes a bother after you finish the throne room and there is still krypt stuff missing (and it’s not that fun looking for konsumables there either, forge or no forge). This looks like something that is fun to play for its own sake, and it even gives me a bit of konquest vibes

(It is worth saying I never finished the konquest mode in any of the games it was in)

I hope it is not too hard or has adjustable difficulty levels (very unlikely, considering it has bragging material… they would never let someone who plays on easy be able to brag), because I am bad at games

And I’m looking forward to the stories
