Remember the MK9 Hype

So though I love all the mortal kombat games, 9 has yet to be dethroned for me. My friends and I played the hell out of 2 and 3 before 9 came out, but when it finally did and those tour busses came around showcasing 9, we drove hours to get to the nearest one. We were beyond psyched even though I got my ass kicked with Johnny Cage.

We all bought the game, brought it to drinking parties and turned them into gaming parties with insane tag matches. More people bought it and we were all trying to learn the best combos and get the fatalities down.

I found out my girl Sheeva was in the game and I started mastering her clunky style and did pretty good on Xbox ranked! I don’t remember hype for a fighting game like this and still remember when we saw our first X-ray moves.

I love mortal kombat, but 9 for me is still unbeaten.
