Notes from the original author

Thanks to this game having a linear story path, everything written is presented in chronological order. However, whenever the story switches into an in-game battle, it is denoted by the phrase “They fight.” This is followed up with a brief paragraph of who overpowers who and defeats them. Any specific descriptions of a brawl (ie “Scorpion grabs Sub-Zero”) should be considered part of a cutscene rather than an in-game fight.

When speaking, characters are denoted by their names given in-game either by the chapter they star in or by the announcer, (ie Sonya, not Sonya Blade.) In description, their name may switch. For easy reference, here is a brief (but not exclusive) list of character’s real names and / or aliases (nicknames not included for the sake of my sanity).

  • Scorpion – Hanzo Hasashi
  • Sub-Zero (The Elder) – Bi-Han
  • Sub-Zero (The Younger) – Kuai Liang
  • Johnny Cage – John Carlton
  • Smoke – Tomas Vrbada
  • Jax – Jackson Briggs
  • Raiden – Haokah (The spirit of thunder and lightning in Lakota mythology)
