Mortal Kombat brought extreme violence to video games. In 1993 Nintendo, the same company that made Mario Bross was about to release Mortal Kombat for their consoles and Mortal Kombat was know to be the most violent game of that time. With lot of blood, dismemberment, heads and harts getting ripped off and the player killing their enemy after the fight was over, the game was nothing like other games from those times. Many parents were upset by the release and  the media started to link Mortal Kombat with the glorification of crime. Another effect was that Mortal Kombat brought the attention of teenagers and young adults into videogames. Video games were seen as just for children those days but this game was like a violent comic book and had very mature content for the 90's standards. The game was first released in 1992 in arcade machines so the people playing it were mostly teenagers that could go to videogame clubs. Maybe the most impactful thing Mortal Kombat did to the industry was to create laws for videogames. The game was so violent that politicians and the press won't stop talking about how this may influence the children and ask the companies to take responsibility for this kind of videogames. In 1994 the Entertaintment Software Assosiation (ESA) established a system to classify games based on their content. This rating board is still in use until this day and videogames must rate their videogames. This new laws, rating systems and the new public for video games changed the industry forever and Mortal Kombat now it's part of the pop culture itself.]]> 2021-05-02 22:57:11 UTC https://padlet.com/franciscomaripangui/8qym59npfb2jsznq/wish/1483239435 franciscomaripangui https://padlet.com/franciscomaripangui/8qym59npfb2jsznq/wish/1483309036 2021-05-02 23:57:42 UTC https://padlet.com/franciscomaripangui/8qym59npfb2jsznq/wish/1483309036 franciscomaripangui https://padlet.com/franciscomaripangui/8qym59npfb2jsznq/wish/1483311521 2021-05-02 23:59:38 UTC https://padlet.com/franciscomaripangui/8qym59npfb2jsznq/wish/1483311521 franciscomaripangui https://padlet.com/franciscomaripangui/8qym59npfb2jsznq/wish/1483315360 2021-05-03 00:02:30 UTC https://padlet.com/franciscomaripangui/8qym59npfb2jsznq/wish/1483315360 franciscomaripangui https://padlet.com/franciscomaripangui/8qym59npfb2jsznq/wish/1483317796 2021-05-03 00:04:05 UTC https://padlet.com/franciscomaripangui/8qym59npfb2jsznq/wish/1483317796 franciscomaripangui https://padlet.com/franciscomaripangui/8qym59npfb2jsznq/wish/1483323915 Scorpion and Sub-Zero are without a doubt the most recognizable characters from the franchise. These two characters are very similar despite being enemies. Sub-Zero and Scorpion are ninjas. They have been in every Mortal Kombat game since release. In the first Mortal Kombat video game they were performed by the same actor and martial artist Daniel Pesina. Like his enemy, Sub-Zero is an elite fighter with super human abilities. These warriors represent their powers with the color of their suit. Both characters seek revenge. Scorpion wanted to take revenge against Sub-Zero for killing his family, and the 'second Sub-Zero' (Kuai Liang) seeks revenge on Scorpion for killing the 'first Sub-Zero'; his brother Bi Han. Both have weapons and features regarding the asian culture. These two also were controled by Quan Chi in later Mortal Kombat games. And finally, this rivalry between them can be seen again through the 2021 Mortal Kombat movie were both are part of the main characters. As you can see, these ninja enemies have a lot in common and they are by far the icons of the franchise, being the most popular characters.]]> 2021-05-03 00:08:15 UTC https://padlet.com/franciscomaripangui/8qym59npfb2jsznq/wish/1483323915 franciscomaripangui https://padlet.com/franciscomaripangui/8qym59npfb2jsznq/wish/1483441930 Despite having some similarities this characters also have many differences. Sub-Zero's ninja suit is always blue or light blue, but Scorpion's is yellow or golden. Scorpion's powers are primarely his ninja swords, spear and fire, on the other hand, Sub-Zero's powers are all related to the ability to create and control ice, even his weapons are made of ice. They come from different clans. Scorpion is from the Shirai Ryu and Sub-Zero from the Lin Kuei. In contrast to Sub-Zero, Scorpion's clan and original name (Hasashi Hanzo) represent the Japanese culture, while Sub-Zero's clan and name represent the Chinese culture. Also unlike Sub-zero, Scorpion is very impulsive, impatient and gets angry really easy. Another difference between them is that Scorpion already died, he is an undead warrior and it's inmortal, Sub-Zero is a human with super powers. Scorpion's character development has always been deeper than Sub-Zero's and he is the main promotional character for every Mortal Kombat realease. Both of these characters are really different and they clearly are the two sides of a coin, one represents the fire and passion while the other represents the Ice and it's a cold and patient person. For me, both characters are amazing, but I really love how much Scorpion's character has been developed over the years. Please let me know your opinions.]]> 2021-05-03 01:07:49 UTC https://padlet.com/franciscomaripangui/8qym59npfb2jsznq/wish/1483441930 franciscomaripangui https://padlet.com/franciscomaripangui/8qym59npfb2jsznq/wish/1483510461 2021-05-03 01:42:42 UTC https://padlet.com/franciscomaripangui/8qym59npfb2jsznq/wish/1483510461 franciscomaripangui https://padlet.com/franciscomaripangui/8qym59npfb2jsznq/wish/1503835523 Playing MK with frequency will make you a better player.
