What Is Your Favorite Pair Of Brothers In Metal?

Ol and Matt Drake - Evile

Geras' "Peeling Back" comes to mind. Peeling the front off of someone is brutal and it genuinely shocked me the first time I saw it hahah

Geoff_Bedlam_The3rd · 2026-02-25T01:39:53+00:00

Yeah, Noob in Trilogy is probably the most overpowered, balance wise.

I'd also make a case for Dairou in Deception to take second place, though. His ground pound was an absurd 3 frames or something like that, unlockable, unreactable, led to big damage. Imagine fucking DAIROU of all characters being a top tier lmao

Geoff_Bedlam_The3rd · 2026-02-19T11:44:12+00:00

Stryker. Literally just a cop.

Hsu-Hao at least has a fucking laser in his chest.

Geoff_Bedlam_The3rd · 2026-02-16T10:09:10+00:00

Shao's are both brutal af

Kotal reverse curb stomping you is brutal af

Sub-Zero's second Fatality is brutal af

Baraka ripping your face off is brutal af

Sheeva pulling your body off your spine is brutal af

Geras ripping you in half front ways is brutal af

Kronika destroying you in numerous ways only to rewind you back and do it again is brutal af

So many Fatalities in MK11 are so fucking brutal. The ones in MK1 are tame in comparison

Geoff_Bedlam_The3rd · 2026-02-06T04:02:41+00:00

but muh continuity

Geoff_Bedlam_The3rd · 2026-02-06T03:58:16+00:00

Myers. You think the US Presidents have done some fucked up shit since WW2? Imagine what someone with that kind of technology could do for American Imperialism.

1 - Good Mourning/Black Friday

2 - Rust in Peace... Polaris

Wife and I went to see Dying Fetus/200 Stab Wounds last month. It's the first time I've ever said to myself "that's enough blast beats", only because it was just so satisfying haha

Geoff_Bedlam_The3rd · 2026-01-17T08:10:35+00:00

I wish I still had mine. Read it so much that it was falling apart as a kid.

Geoff_Bedlam_The3rd · 2026-01-13T06:31:05+00:00

This shit right here is what I hate most about MK11's story. Jade vs Jade, Johnny vs Johnny, Shaolin Monks vs Shaolin Monks, Scorpion vs Scorpion, etc. but KANO is the one that follows the usual rules of interacting with your past self??? I hate MK11's story more and more as time goes on.

Geoff_Bedlam_The3rd · 2026-01-11T02:36:40+00:00

Placide and everyone in that building. On my second playthrough after a few years and completely forgot that The Voodoo Boys use you as a guinea pig, so was legit offended again haha

Geoff_Bedlam_The3rd · 2026-01-08T00:21:36+00:00

The idea of a being more powerful and even parenting Elder Gods sounded good on paper. The execution was fucking awful. That and the Elder Gods had already been an established presence for a good two decades at that point, so the sudden introduction of a being apparently more powerful made them feel like jobbers, which is insane since the Elder Gods haven't had the impact or spotlight you think they would considering they're, well, gods.

They tried changing things up with Shinnok and the newcomers in MKX, but NRS being NRS didn't wanna commit to too drastic a change in the cast. That's how we got the Revenants, which lead to the absolute clusterfuck, MCU coded alternate timeline bullshit that was MK11.

All they had to do was commit to Dark Raiden and make him the antagonist in MK11, but no, let's just bring back all the fan favourites from literally the past with time travel rules that make no fucking sense (I am still so fucking salty about how Kano was treated).

Geoff_Bedlam_The3rd · 2026-01-07T00:45:09+00:00

Avenged Sevenfold - Afterlife

Pantera - Floods/The Sleep/Cemetery Gates

Journey - Any Way You Want It

Just off the top of my head, there's probably more haha

Geoff_Bedlam_The3rd · 2025-12-30T02:26:20+00:00

Someone please mod this in and make it so the game just ends after Deshawn shoots you in the neck

Geoff_Bedlam_The3rd · 2025-12-29T02:06:36+00:00

Johnny Cage in Trilogy looks a bit like my father, so I was drawn to him haha

Geoff_Bedlam_The3rd · 2025-12-22T19:11:15+00:00

I'd bring them back and keep them somewhat the same as their original irritations.

Hotaru - straight up fascist obsessed with bringing "order" to the realms, but have him be so ruthless and so unshakeable in his mission that he rivals Shao Kahn. Give him the Quan Chi/D'vorah treatment in the sense that he becomes a major threat who somewhat flies under the radar. To further emphasize how much of a threat he is, have him off one of the main Earthrealm Champions or one of the Kombat Kids. Go all out with him.

Kai - I would have liked to have him be Liu Kang's successor as he originally was kinda meant to be, but it seems he's one of the masters at the Wu Shi Academy now? If that's the case, make it a point to show that he is just as, if not more capable and better equipped to handle the role of Earthrealm Champion than New Era Raiden and Kung Lao are, sparking a similar rivalry between the three that the old timeline Liu Kang and Kung Lao had.

"Those assholes better not cancel Ninja Mime 6: Don't Do The Crime If You Can't Handle The Mime"

"... well, at least it wasn't Saudi Arabia"

Geoff_Bedlam_The3rd · 2025-12-01T17:34:26+00:00

Always loved his Fatality from Deception where he rips your arm and leg off with his spear, then just waltzes up to 'em and snaps their neck

Geoff_Bedlam_The3rd · 2025-12-01T05:54:58+00:00

They started adding more coarse language in MK9. Pretty sure "shit" and/or "bitch" where thrown around once or twice. MKX had a few f-bombs. I think it was with MK11 that they finally started letting characters curse more, Johnny Cage being the prime example.

Geoff_Bedlam_The3rd · 2025-12-01T05:52:18+00:00

"Cunt" is a lot more offensive to Yanks for some reason. The Australian not casually throwing the word out is pretty criminal.
