YOU SUCK
NetherRealm has finally unveiled footage of Outworld Ruler Shao Kahn inMortal Kombat 11and he looks great. All of his overheads, charge attacks and soul-crushing taunts are present and accounted for. He looks to be bringing the BS factor and I’m now dreading fighting him in story mode.
Thankfully, he doesn’t look as basic as hisMortal Kombat Trilogycounterpart. For one, Kahn now has combo strings. Secondly, he isn’t based solely on overpowered moves, but more like brute force. His fatality is also very fitting, if a little basic. It’s very becoming of a character known for his overwhelming power.
Shao Kahn has always been the most ball bustingly brutal boss inMortal Kombathistory. Regardless of which difficulty you put the game on, reaching the end of a tournament ladder means you’ll be in for a rude awakening. I have a particularly fond memory of playingUltimate Mortal Kombat 3at my friend’s house and taking around an hour on the Kahn battle alone.
Shao Kahn is still a pre-order bonus forMortal Kombat 11, but you have roughly a week to nab him. I don’t know if the video above is enough to entice me, but he does look like a ton of fun to play. Sometimes you just want to utterly dominate the opposition and Kahn seems to deliver that.
