Notes from the original author

Thanks to this game having a linear story path (flashbacks
notwithstanding), everything written is presented in chronological
order – chronological at least with what appears on screen.

A few cutscenes within the game detail quick time events. These are noted
by the phrase [QUICK TIME CUTSCENE BEGINS] whenever one starts, and
[QUICK TIME CUTSCENE ENDS] when they finish. This guide details the best
possible outcome that the player can achieve (in other words, they hit
all the cues flawlessly). Later versions of this guide may or may not
include the variations where you fail them.

In game fights are represented by a paragraph that always begins “They
fight.” followed by a brief description 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 either their first names, or by
their alias if that is what they are better known as (so Hanzo Hasashi
will be denoted by “Scorpion”, but Johnny Cage by “Johnny”).
Generally, if a character’s name exceeds more than 9 letters, I will
refer to them their first name only when they speak. 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 – Kuai Liang
  • Johnny Cage – John Carlton
  • Cassie Cage – Cassandra Carlton
  • Takeda – Takahashi Takeda
  • Kenshi – Takahashi Kenshi
  • Kotal Kahn – Ko’atal / Buluc
  • Jax – Jackson Briggs
  • Jacqui – Jacqueline Briggs
  • Reptile – Syzoth
