Doing MK11 Tower Endings

MD: Lets see what Jacqui’s tower ending is

MD: Always thought she was cool

Computer: I know you’ll never hear this, but goodbye dad

MD: Are you fucking kidding me?

~~~

I love Jacqui because I think she’s cool, so that why I did the tower ending. I wanted to actually strangle myself after I finished the tower. From now on I’m gaslighting myself into thinking that didn’t happen and she got a happy ending where her and her dad live on a farm together taking care of cows

WHO MAKES THESE ENDINGS

[demonsfate]

gaaaaah i wanna do replies but mk may have me roped in again!!! and it made me realize that, as much as i love tek... it's seriously missing content. especially tek7. like i'm unsure about mk1's other modes because i haven't played 'em other than story and versus. but in mk11, i used to play that game for 8 hours straight at a time because there's so much to do. there's so many cosmetics/stuff you can collect. there's the klassic towers to unlock all character endings, and yes - they're longer than one fuckin fight. there's the krypt, which will have you exploring for a long time for stuff, there's the towers of time - which is constantly changing, and even has the "race against time" that encourages you to play more and more bc if you're in the top 10%, you get more special items, i believe there were other modes, too but ones i didn't play so much. in tek7... there's only treasure battle to collect the cosmetics... and that's all you do, just play treasure battle. it gets repetitive fast, and not as exciting to collect things as mk11 was. then tek7 only has story mode (which is ok, but you don't wanna replay it over and over again) and the arcade... like tekken just doesn't offer much if you're a single player / don't always like to play online mode.

i'm REALLY hoping tek8 will remedy this. i'm really hoping tek8 will offer more offline modes so that i can play it for literally all day like i can with the mk games!! anyway... i may do some replies (there's especially some inbox things i wanna get to!) or i may play more mk1 to see how it stacks up against mk11 so far (rn tho i'm REALLY enjoying it! might have to develop a mk verse for my boys more!)

MK11 *NON REVENANT JADE* KLASSIC TOWER GAMEPLAY!! (ENDING)

[evasivaardilosa]

I also did the endless tower

On easy.

It feels like each fight gives considerable less xp than regular Invasions fights do, and they gave me only 50 regular coins (golden) and 100 season coins (silver). I think Invasions fights give 100 of each. But the endless tower fights are two rounds, and the Invasions fights are only one, so I don’t think the tower is worth it. Though having the fights start almost immediately is nice so I may do it again

I also tried the survivor tower, also on easy. I didn’t get to see how much I got for each fight, I hate that it doesn’t just show you a number, but I wanted to see how far I could make it (I never tried it seriously on mk11, I only let the ai do it on super easy for the grind, and went on super easy a few times to get those fatal blows). The answer is, not very far. It was fun enough for me to want to do it again when I am bored of the same Invasions fight

It seems those blogs had a point when they said doing the same (endurance) fight in Invasions was the way to go. It is more rewarding than regular Invasions fight, which are more rewarding than these tower fights, and I don’t have a hard time with them (specially the low level ones, obviously, and the low levels ones don’t seem to be much less rewarding than the higher ones)

I will try the towers on medium next to see if it gives me more coins, and if I can do the fights

Getting some variety is important. I have been so tired in the mornings these days that if I start repeating too much the same stuff, sleep starts to sound better than playing lol

Ah, and I found one Johnny in one of these towers using the JCVD skin, which made me really happy. The ultimate edition of mk11 had a bunch of dlc skin packs but they almost never showed up in regular towers (neither did the kl ones, or the premium shop ones… Some showed up once in a while in specific towers, and I met Cold War Skarlet in a couple different character towers, but I never saw them in the klassic towers)

The randomize didn’t get very creative so far, which is a shame. My Kitana gets that rainbow fan all the time, but with the regular blue outfit. I am hoping to see more of the different looks when I get a second controller to play 2p

[jadesdesert]

So MK11 got some new skins and I wanted to share my thoughts...

1. While I’m a huge fan of the trilogy era skins I was hoping the NRS would give us skins from 3d era, especially because they seem to neglect it so much despite being well demanded.

2. I feel like it’s super redundant to give us another set of pallet swap skins as DLC content when the previous set could be obtained through the game directly (time krystals/towers of time).

3. I want to know what was the point of misleading us with the initial silhouettes.

4. I find it funny how Kitana has a total 3 new skins this month alone (summer heat, current KL skin, and this new klassic skin) and everybody is saying she deserves them. Not gonna argue with that, but when a certain someone got 2 new skins at once everybody cried how unfair it was, how it’s neglecting the other characters who didn’t get one, and how they’re being shoved down everyone’s throats😂.

Overall, I’m happy for the skins (can’t wait to equip Jade’s on all my loadouts😁) but I have mixed feelings on the timing of its release. That was my Ted Talk🙂

almost everyone’s mk11 klassic tower ending is just fuckin around with the hourglass and making themselves gods meanwhile Jax ended racism... his mind...

MK11 *SCORPION MK9 SKIN* KLASSIC TOWER GAMEPLAY!! (ENDING)

I just find it hugely entertaining to watch my boy (one of my favorite designs is MK9) kick ass and be badass, but that ending does not spark joy ;_;

[doobler]

Can you tell us about Jax??

He's the all-American babe! He was a Major for the special forces and like I missed a LOT of his backstory BUT--

Essentially he had his arms ripped off by this living collection of condemned souls named Ermac. Jax got cybernetic prosthetic arms and a loooot of PTSD. Then, he died in a battle and was resurrected as a Revenant, an undead evil zombie dude, controlled by the sorcerer Quan Chi. He eventually had the spell broken and tried to retire but tough times call for total badasses and he was roped back into the fray

In MK11, he aligns himself with the enemy, Kronika, because she promises him a new chance at life, one where he believes his daughter won't feel obliged to join the special forces. He gets his senses knocked back into him though and rejoins the good guys before the end

In Klassic Tower mode, you get to see what everyone's perfect ending is once they get their hands on Kronika's all-powerful hourglass. Sub-Zero redeems his fallen brother, Cassie Cage revives her dead mother. What does our beloved cyborg Major do?

He rewinds time and erases slavery, creating a Wakandan-like paradise where Africa thrives, raised up on a pedestal upon riches and technology.

He's so kind, so powerful, with a strong moral compass and a great sense of humor. Jax Briggs is the fucking all-American hero

Here's the Actual Issue behind the bad progression system: Uncertain Goals

Give me a second to explain my point here: I've seen a bunch of posts discussing how "it's going to take so long to unlock everything." But I think many people aren't really understanding why they are having such an unenjoyable experience with the krypt.

It's about goals. You've probably heard of SMART Goals. It's super common in business jargon, but it extends beyond that. Everyone set's goals for themselves, and Players setting a goal for themselves in a game is what most developers want. I want to beat the Klassic tower on Hard. I remember setting that goal for myself in MKX and spending hours in the lab just playing against a AI on hard until I finally was able to beat him.

I'm sure you are getting tired of my shit, so here's my Core Point:

Cosmetic Unlockables are Goals, and in MK11 they are objectively Badly Made Goals

If you aren't in for a long read or if you already understand my point you can stop here. The remainder of the post is just justification for my claim using accepted information

So a good goal has these characteristics:

1. Specific (simple, sensible, significant). 2. Measurable (meaningful, motivating). 3. Achievable (agreed, attainable). 4. Relevant (reasonable, realistic and resourced, results-based). 5. Time bound (time-based, time limited, time/cost limited, timely, time-sensitive).

Got MK11 chapter 1 done before work.

I'm still getting comfortable with fighting games. It's a whole other world from playing a RPG with at least one companion in tow to heal you. However, I seem to have a slightly easier time with input in MK11 than in MKX. I'm still learning combos.

First chapter is Cassie's spotlight. I like Cassie, but I cannot play her well for whatever reason. I'm currently maining Jade and Kitana in 1v1 and the Klassic tower.

The chapter itself was okay. Sonya, oddly, was the hardest boss for me, though I barely defeated Liu Kang. I'm just happy not to be dealing with Shinnok again.

Next chapter focuses on K0tal. Not looking forward to it, seeing as 1) I have never even done a practice round with him and 2) I don't particularly care for someone who makes the Pillar Men look like a serious research paper. It's not his own fault that the writers made him poorly based off indigenous culture; but the whole genocide thing is off putting. Imposwtor approves.

If you do the klassic tower in mk11 as Noob, he will become edge lord supreme.

MK11 *MASKLESS JADE* KLASSIC TOWER GAMEPLAY!! (ENDING)

[evasivaardilosa]

I found fanmade maps of the Invasions areas. They aren’t even that complex, just branch a couple of times, but I got completely lost in Sun Do and my hopes for the Tarkatan camp are low

One less worry

The scenery is beautiful and I love the random people messing around

I don’t get talismans. I made it far without using them much, because as predicted I don’t want to waste them, but there is a very low inventory size for them so I keep being asked to drop one. I have no idea of how to choose because I haven’t used them much. And there are so many different possibilities that I just can’t guess what will be useful later

Konsumables also have a small inventory and I didn’t realize that, so I dropped some of those potions that make you more resistant to one element without even realize their effect is permanent. I could have just used them right away 😫

The fights are surprisingly chill so far, even without me stopping to level up. I didn’t beat them all at the first try, but I didn’t get stuck so far

That “survive” mode is also pretty chill. I usually get hit a bunch of times but still manage to survive

I still hate Test Your Might but I am learning. At least I can still progress in the short towers even if I lose

I love that most fights are one round only

I need to learn how to do the kameo fatalities. I managed to do a regular fatality but the kameo ones are giving me trouble. I didn’t find them in the tutorial mode when I checked

I can still do the klassic brutality as easily as in mk11 and it seems brutalities give you extra xp so guess what I keep doing. I am not a big fan of the animation here though

I think I have played as everyone now (except Havik and Motaro bc locked) but still not sure of who I will have as main. If I even will pick someone. I want to unlock everything so I will have to level up with everyone. Ashrah+Sareena are a strong option but I also liked playing as Kenshi. I suck at playing as Bi-Han and Kitana rip

Also how does Shujinko even work

[darth-revan-dark-lord]

Bought MK11 today. Sadly all I have time for was finishing the tutorial and beating the novice klassic tower because I have to go to work soon. I was playing as Kitana, whom I mained in the last two Mortal Kombat games, and I lost against Kronika the first time...on easy >.< I'm out of practice and getting used to the newer play style. Plus, SEMI SPOILER ALERT, I didn't expect her to chicken out to send in minions to battle for her!

Shaping History

I thought it’d be fun to write a little drabble on how a prospective narration for Mileena’s tower ending would go.  Now, this is just my own idea for what she’d do, and if, by some miracle, she’s added as DLC and gets her own “canon” ending, I’ll almost certainly be happy to toss this aside.  But like I said, this is just for fun!  Visual details will be described in brackets.

MK11 Spoilers: Not necessarily anything that happens in the canon of the story, but more the setup for what happens after you clear the Klassic Tower with a character.

[First shot: Mileena standing before the Hourglass, fingers tracing along the frame. Kronika’s body lies in the background.]

Those who had betrayed me, thought they could get rid of me so easily...their undoing was within my reach.  With the Hourglass under my control, I could reclaim my rightful place and bury them before they could even think to turn against me!  Yet as tempting as this was...I could do so much more.

[The image of Shao Kahn appears reflected on the surface.]

Father...he was Outworld’s greatest leader, even greater than I, but his time was cut so short.  Time that I could put back into his hands.

[Second shot: Shao Kahn standing before his throne, hammer raised in triumph. Sindel and Mileena stand close by, as do Baraka, Reptile, Ermac, etc.  The camera slowly pans out to show Liu Kang, Kung Lao, and other Earthrealm warriors dead as Raiden is executed before a crowd.]

He and mother would live on far past where they had before, no merging of the realms necessary.  Outworld would triumph, and I would get to stay by their side the whole time, watching how a true konquerer reigns over his people!

[The image darkens, desaturates slightly, with only Mileena retaining her color.]

Even so...I had once tasted that power he held.  A taste so strong, so addictive, that I would never get again so long as he held the throne.  So I watched his reign as long as I was able...then I watched it again, and again, learning everything I could about holding onto that power with an iron grip...and once I knew all I needed to...I struck.

[Final shot: Mileena, now in a variation on her Kahnum outfit, stands atop a high balcony with her throne upon it, pointing forward to direct an army marching down below.  Tanya and some of her allies from before stand by, as do some of the former traitors, properly subjugated as she desired.  The rest- among which D’vorah is included- have their heads on pikes surrounding Mileena’s throne.  Shao Kahn- not wearing his helmet- and Sindel are close by again, but they are restrained and chained up, looks of shock on their faces.]

I wish it had not come to this, father...but now you can watch.  Watch as I use what I learned from you to rule properly this time, bringing an era even greater than your own!  No usurpers, no civil wars- all resistance will be choked out entirely!  Perhaps you and mother will be free one day...one day when you are content to live with power in the hands of another, and are satisfied in knowing that your legacy will live on in your daughter, Mileena Kahnum of Outworld!
