* [[Game Breaker]]: Certain characters had "impale" attacks with their weapons which would constantly sap life from the opponent until they keeled over. Granted, these attacks could be blocked, but there's a reason they never resurfaced in ''Deception'' and ''Armageddon''.

** Drahmin, although not to the extent of Hsu Hao, also earns a similar reaction from the fans. Ed Boon notes that he's one of his two least favorite characters (the other being Hsu Hao), and he's unpopular with fans due to how newcomer-unfriendly his playstyle is. The flies swarming him and [[Most Annoying Sound|constantly buzzing]] was a rather distracting nuisance.

** Moloch and Drahmin. After Scorpion makes a truce with the younger Sub-Zero and drags Quan Chi back to the Netherrealm (as seen in ''4''), he starts chasing the wizard throughout the lands, beating the white off of his ass as repayment for killing his family (this is shown in ''Deception'''s Konquest mode). The two onis stop Scorpion, allowing Quan Chi to flee and discover Onaga's tomb. ''They are indirectly responsible for jumpstarting a [[Wham! Episode]] that has continued [[Mortal Kombat 9 (Video Game)|to the present day]].''

** There ''are'' other factors, such as Nitara leading Reptile astray (according to his bio, Reptile knew of the Deadly Alliance's assassination attempt on Shao Kahn and would've been able to stop them had he not been sidetracked), but most of the blame can be traced back to the two Oni, as they prevented Scorpion from killing Quan Chi.
