Line 67:
* [[Perfect Play AI]]: Formerly named [[MK Walker]], both for this franchise being a famous source of examples and for those instances giving the impression of ''walking'' all over players.
{{
* [[All There in the Manual]]: If the info's not available in the game, it's mentioned in some hard to find strategy guide. For example, Kintaro's fate (death at Raiden's hands) was only known in the ''MK3'' strategy guide.
* [[Almost-Lethal Weapons]]: Getting shot in these games really doesn't hurt any more than getting punched.
Line 114:
* [[Gorn]]: Being a series flooded with over-the-top violence, this was expected.
* [[Gosh Dang It to Heck]]: Despite all the violence, ''MK'' has almost little to no swear words uttered at all. So far, Scorpion has indulged in it in ''Shaolin Monks'', which sometimes he'll alter his iconic "Get Over here!" into more profane versions. It's subverted because they (mostly) avoid the phrases where the swears would go, obviating the need for narmy substitute words. Sonya also swears a few times in ''9'', with most of her profanities [[Curse Cut Short|being somehow interrupted.]]
* [[Guest Fighter]]: Since ''9'', the games are notorious for having these characters. They mostly consist of horror film characters and '80s film characters.
* [[Guide Dang It]]: Every [[Secret Character]], and fatalities in the older games.
* [[Highly-Visible Ninja]]: In all the colors of the rainbow.
Line 151 ⟶ 152:
* [[Purely Aesthetic Gender]]: In the early games, while all of the normal attacks looked/were performed the same, moves tended to have slightly different effects for each character. Also, the hitboxes were determined by the poses and body size of the actors who were greenscreened.
* [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old]]: Nearly everyone who isn't from Earthrealm is several centuries old, even if they don't look it. An extreme case are Edenians: Kitana, for instance, is around '''10,000 years old'''. And there's her mother Sindel, too!
* [[Trope Codifier]]: While not the first Fighting Game where the idea was to kill the opponent, this was certainly the one that made the idea of a [[Fatality]] in games like this popular.
* [[World of Badass|Realms Of Badass]]
* [[World of Buxom|Realms Of Buxom]]: Apparently, [[Pettanko|Pettankos]] don't exist in the ''MK'' universe. This is ''especially'' true [[Hotter and Sexier|as]] [[Fan Service Pack|of]] ''Deadly Alliance''.
