Mortal Kombat: Armageddon/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Accidental Innuendo: Konquest Mode involves collectable "relics" for each character in the game. Moloch's is the ball and chain he carries around...but it's called "Moloch's Ball". Cue Heh Heh, You Said "X".
  • And the Fandom Rejoiced: Around the time of Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks, many of the fans were aching for Reptile's redesign to be playable in a main MK game. Guess what happened in Armageddon?
  • Crazy Awesome: Havik.
  • Fan Dumb: A lot of fans still can't grasp that the reason Motaro is missing two legs is to accommodate Armageddon's physics. It was either that or not include him at all.
    • Also, apparently since Khameleon was only playable on the Wii version, many fans claim she doesn't exist. Common examples of this are: "how did khameleon come?she dosent exist in ps2 mortal kombat armageddon MESSED UP!" and "um yo guys give me a messge or something but im confused as hell on ps2 i belive the female dude is a guy on the ps2 verison so is there like 2 of them or sometimg????" It's enough to make you want to bang your head against the nearest wall.
  • Game Breaker: Sareena is seen as a high-tier character for one reason and one reason alone: her knives. As Ed Boon best put it, they are among the fastest projectiles in the game. You can also juggle opponents with them, leading a few combos rivaling Kitana's infamous fan lift setup in terms of litigiousness.
    • The air combo system has a fatal flaw: if you drop the 4th hit in a combo after making them spin in mid-air, you can leap right back up and do it again, resetting the combo and trapping them in an infinite loop unless they have a Combo Breaker.
  • Harsher in Hindsight: Shao Kahn's position in the poster featuring the cast of the game, showing him directly under Blaze, dead center in the top row. Now, consider who won the final battle.
  • Nightmare Fuel Station Attendant: Mileena, again.
  • Rescued from the Scrappy Heap: Stryker got a new look and some cooler gadgets.
