Mortal Kombat Shinobi [WIP]

[borg117]

I am here to present to you some kind of another fan-based mk game.
As you could guess from the name, it will include ninjas (male, female and robots) only. The initial goal of that was to give each of them (formerly clonned since UMK3) an unique outfit (trying to get close to MKA looks). There is a storyline though, which binds them all together to the death of the Grandmaster (after MK4) and ensuring struggle for his title. later the initial idea was improved to make all the chars with unique fighting tactics. All the special moves from previous mk games are expected.
For those who wants to see more - we have a site here - http://mkas.ucoz.ru/shinobi/site.html
For all others i will continue this post, making it wider.
Let me tell you about the additions/changes made to the chars so far.

1. Sub-Zero
seems to be the leading role of the game. his movelist was improved to resemble that of MKMSZ, including Ground ice and Polar blast moves. So, his main ability is to keep the opponent on the place unmoved (freeze), that means he needed larger amount of different combos to strike after freeze. There are some combos which can be performed on the frozen opponent only. Also, he was improved with melee moves to act offensive while the Ice clone or Ice puddle are on (you can't use freezing power while those are acting).
2. Sektor
killing the grandmaster and starting allthis mess, seems to be the main villain. he was improved with various attacks of MKA, which are Flamethrower, Air missile and others. This makes Sektor a strong opponent while fighting in the distance. All these multiple shots may seem useless together, but still Sektor has an unique juggle ability if you combine shooting with melee attacks and your own player skill.
here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vz21Nrp_txA - you can see these two in action.
3. Cyrax
combining his MK3 and MKDA styles we get moves like Spin Kicks and Buzzsaw added. However, Cyrax' exploding ability was improved by adding the command mine (you can land it and explode it later at your will). This makes Cyrax very calculating character - by organizing different traps with bombs, energy net and mines you can form your own strategies to hunt your enemy in the battlefield. The most epic hunting may cost health though.

4. Scorpion
a bit about the design. MKDA shows Scorpion having 2 swords which makes him more samurai than a ninja. this may mean that Scorpion is actually more in Jujutsu than Ninjutsu. This allowed me to make him some kind of "skull samurai" outfit. This look can be hated by many, though. Anyway, Scorpion is kept in the most classic way. Yes new moves from MK4 and MKD are there, and even both swords can be used for melee attacks, but if you prefer classic tactics - you will enjoy it too. MK2 leg grab move is also included.

I will post more info of the chars and their styles later. As said above, you can find more interesting info on the site (like videos and screenshots). I was lucky to be able to draw things, so i will put some artwork into the game. you can see it in VS poses already.

Spoiler:  here's an example too (click to show)

Some say MUGEN is limited and MK is old, but i am just doing what i can. will be glad if someone wanted to see mk the way i see it.

I already heard of this project. But I never know that this project has its own site. I'll check that for future updates. As I see in your videos that you implement a lot of new ideas and moves into your game. I can say this project looks to me as it has the ability to let people forget about mkp5.1.

[interloko]

i love your project man, very unique

[Paraside]

  The BEST MK project that I ever seen so far!

["Bad News" Hoffmann]

i like your scorpion and cyrax spriteedits. great work

[Orochi Gill]

Cyrax's armor looks dislodged from his body.
Scorpion looks like a torsoswap.
Sub-Zero is a recolor and part by groin area looks disconnected.
Sektor's armor ALSO looks dislodged.

BTW, Bigjohn
I saw that crap you deleted.
If you don't want to see feedback, then don't go to forums, simple as that. Don't think I'm going to fucking stop just because you don't want your precious MK WIP critiqued.

[bigjohn72076]

Finally decided to post here. Good job on your project. The character edits are pretty clean too.

can you even DO? something better?

[Orochi Gill]

Does it matter...?
One does not have to create to critique.

yep there can be some little flaws, but i found these acceptable - at least they do not disturb right in the game.
also, actually it is obvious that they all are torso-swap. initially i just thought that changing their torso will make each char look new. however, some of them have other little changes too. As you know, MK was made photorealistic, so i am trying to make new parts on at least the same level of shading.

[RunningWild]

Oh look, ANOTHER full Mortal Kombat game for Moojin with nothing but ninjas.

Man, you're SO ORIGINAL. Like that's never been done before.

[Cybaster]

can you even DO? something better?

[MellyInChains]

I'm pretty defiant in my beliefs that the only all-ninja MK game project that was ever good, ever was Ninja Syndrome

[RunningWild]

all-ninja

MK game project

good

lol.

no.

[borg117]

yes i heard there were and will be all-ninja-MK projects since palette swapping is easy as hell. As i said in the first post, my main goal is to give them ninjas new looks, different from each other. Unaware if that is original or not. Also, graphic part is not the only one to mention, i would try to add every moves that these chars have throughout all MK games, because midway was quick to delete or change moves game after game.
It is not my fault if someone before already Wanted to do such thing, but i did not see if someone succeeded to make all these ninjas at least look different.

[Iced]

Some of those edits have potential, will you try to fix the graphical detailing so that they look at their best?

[borg117]

at first i will leave some parts (like legs or arms of all chars) unchanged. but the work keeps going more detailed, those Sektor and Sub-Zero edits weren't as hard as Scorpion for example. MK always had simple costumes for their actors - Jax or Sub-zero would be a good example. It is because the sprites can't represent the little details. However, i'll try to fix that where i'll find it possible. I find Scorpion detailed enough, drawing those armor plates took accuracy. So i can expect further edits to be detailed as well. So, i try to keep my eye on the details.

[Paraside]

TOTALLY RIGHT!

That's why I said that this is the best MK project of all that I have seen.

[LNZX]

This project is very interesting/unique.))
But still need many time to complete all work.
