Mortal Kombat: Touch

This is an idea I came up with if Ed Boon, and the rest of the MK Team decided to make a game for the DS. Yeah, they said they wouldn’t, but they also said that they wouldn’t make a Wii game yet, so here’s for hoping.

The game doesn’t have an actual storyline. Just a fun game to pick up and play on the go. That’s what I am writing. Also the game will be 3-D, but will be fought in a 2-D style (Like SSBM.)


Gameplay:

A: Low Kick
X: High Kick
Y: Low Punch
X: High Punch
Hold down Face Buttons: Charged up attack
D Pad: Move
R: Grab attacks (Mixing it with other commands like R+A will make a different throw)
L: Block
L Right during attack: Parry
Select: Taunt
Touch Screen: Special Moves, Bloody Move, Change Characters during Tag

Changes: The combo system won’t be a guessing game, with moves that can be blocked in the middle if the opponent doesn’t pull it off right. There are also chargeable moves that could break blocks. Parries must be done right when the opponent attacks. Parries can also block grab moves. There are multiple grabs in this game. Holding R will do a grab that can’t be parried, but needs much time to charge for the attack. Also different types of grabs can be used. Such as tapping R and A, or R+ Forward XY.

The two different styles method is out. Characters will be given one hand-to-hand style, and that’s it. The character can change positions in order to use different attacks (Like in Tekken with Hworang.) Air Kombat is taken out, but you can still jump higher. Combos have been limited. They won’t be in chains anymore. The speed of attacks is all based on the player pressing the commands. The opponent can block in the middle if the attack is too slow, and can also parry any attack if they press L in time for the attack.

Special moves will be used by the touch screen. Simply tap the move desired with the stylus (or the thumb) and the move will be performed. The moves will have a dark shade if they cannot be pulled at the position you’re in. Also, a special move will be added. This move is called the Bloody Move. A gauge will be placed above it, and fills up when you attack with physical strikes. No projectiles. Certain attacks (like Sketor’s teleport punch) count as physical strikes, and fill up the bar. The Bloody Move can be blocked. If the attack lands perfectly, it can deal up to 1⁄2 of the opponent’s health. But the attack must land all hits. The gauge does not fill up very fast, and you’ll usually only get one filled. Two if you’re a really physical fighter.

Taunting does nothing but humiliate the target.

Mortal Kombat:

Arcade: Self explanatory. Go through fighters to become the Mortal Kombat Champion, and earn cool bonuses. There are 4 different towers. The towers range from Novice to Champion to Master to Flawless. Each one will have a tag team battle in the middle (two on Master, and Three on Flawless) and one endurance round as a “sub-boss” (two on Flawless.) There is also two characters that your fighter fights that are completely original to themselves. For instance, Sonya will battle Mavado after the tag match, then before the endurance round she will fight Kano. The boss of the game is Shao Kahn. When you win you will receive a short clip of the history of the fighter you have won with, their trophy, and also new content (such as a screen shot of your character.) Also this is a way to unlock characters. This is how the tower goes for each ladder:

Novice: Fighter, Fighter, Tag Team Fight, Rival, Fighter, Main Rival, Endurance, Shao Kahn

Champion: Fighter, Fighter, Fighter, Tag Team Fight, Rival, Fighter, Fighter, Main Rival, Endurance, Shao Kahn

Master: Fighter, Fighter, Fighter, Tag Team Fight, Tag Team Fight, Rival, Fighter, Main Rival, Endurance , Shao Kahn

Flawless: Fighter, Fighter, Fighter, Tag Team Fight, Tag Team Fight, Rival, Fighter, Fighter, Main Rival, Endurance, Endurance, Shao Kahn

Note: Shao Kahn battles Sindel and Kitana on Novice mode as a boss, Quan Chi, and Shang Tsung on Champion, Liu Kang, and Kung Lao on Master, and Raiden and Shinnok on Flawless


Versus: Standard versus mode. You can choose to fight a computer, or watch the computers duke it out. You can also customize the match to your liking. Change the time, arena, profile, death traps, and blood.

WiFi: Play online against other people

Practice: Practice by yourself, or get a tutorial.

Tag Team Kombat: Play in a tag match! Select whether you want to be both of your characters, or just one of the characters, and a CPU, or human be the other. Then duke it out against other fighters. To tag simply tap your partner’s character icon on the touch pad. These are the types of tag matches allowed:

1 on 2
1 on 3
1 on 4
1 on 5
2 on 2
2 on 3
3 on 3
4 on 4
5 on 5

While not in the battle, your character will gradually gain health lost, but lose some of the blood attack gauge.

Tournament:

Tournament: Battle in a tournament, or sit back and watch CPU’s fight. There can be 4 , 8, 12, 16, or 32 entrants. You can also earn gold by completing matches. Characters can also be unlocked through this mode. Also this can be played on WiFi.

Tournament Records: Look at your records in battles online, or against CPU’s.



Konquest:

Konquest: This is where the Konquest mode is. Instead of going through the prologue of the game, this goes into the history of characters. So you’ll be going from realm to realm, completing missions, and side-quests with each character. If you’re someone like Shang Tsung, you’ll be in MK1 traveling the island, and fighting Liu Kang, and Raiden. Then go through the whole Shao Kahn saga, and enter the deadly alliance. All the way doing side-missions, and other things to increase the replay value, and earn coins and characters. When you complete a character’s konquest, you earn his ultimate trophy, his second Bloody Attack, and various clips of the character. This is how the game would work:

Top Screen: Shows character in the world

Bottom Screen: Top of the touch screen shows specials, and the bottom half shows a map.

A: Action
B: Punch
X: Kick
Y: Pick up Item
R: Grab
L: Block
D Pad: Move
Start: Information such as amount of quests completed, amount of gold, percentage through the character’s konquest, items, and a map.
Select: Save



Konquest Records: View who you have completed the game with.


Kreate Mode:

Kreate a Fighter: This time all the clothes from other characters are available. Choose how your character looks, then give him combos that you customize. Also create special moves

Kreate a Special: Here you can create a move. This works by giving you a set amount of points, then allowing you to draw your attack, or take one from a list. Then you go from there. Add effects to the attack, and what happens when it hit’s the opponent. If the attack is very tall, and does amazing damage, you won’t be able to create it. You will exceed the points given. You choose the damage it does, the after effect (like freezing, or slowing them down) and decide how far it goes.


Kustomize a Character: Choose which moves a character has. There is a limit to four special moves, and one bloody moves. Change the Bloody Move, and the specials. Each character has eight different special moves, and two different Bloody Moves.



Kontent:

Profiles: View profiles, create one, or delete one.

The Krypt: The krypt works like how the MKDA one did. Simply buy it instead of looking for some damn key. Buy different moves, and other things.

Trophy Case: Look at trophies earned throughout the game. Each trophy gives a brief description of the character, and also the creator‘s view on the character, and the ultimate trophy gives out the fatality, tips on the character, and a real cool design. Also reveals trivia facts like Cyrax’s hate for Cage’s movies.

Videos, and Pictures: This is where you view pictures you’ve bought in the krypt (includes photos to funny character ads.) Also gives videos of the character’s history, and the creator’s view on them. Other things like funny videos are available.

Records: Shows records such as when you unlocked a character, or achieved certain goals.
