Revisiting a Classic: The Joys of Smoke Mortal Kombat
Bringing the Best of the Best
Revisiting a classic every now and then is something we all enjoy, from the mind-bending Monopoly to the iconic Mortal Kombat. This doesn’t just awaken nostalgia and a sense of familiarity but present players with something entirely unique, albeit familiar. And when it comes to Mortal Kombat, we all know what that means: epic fights, Iconic characters and, most importantly, smoke.
The Joys of Smoke
The trademark smoke that Mortal Kombat was so fondly known for has been making rounds since the early ‘90s and continues to be the franchise’s unique identifier. Its presence in the game makes it irresistible to fans of all types and players from all kinds of backgrounds - leading to competition above anything else to beat your rivals on the battlefield and the enemies on the other side.
The joy one gets from watching their character knock their unable opponent into a cloud of smoke has few equals. It’s an exhilarating experience coupled with all the other tricks the game has to offer. Going into Mortal Kombat expecting anything less than smoke is unimaginable and more than substandard.
That Iconic Sound
Not to mention, the iconic sound effect that comes with it. The sound that instantly transports you back to those days of the 90s when you ran around so excited you were playing the game in the comfort of your bedroom. It is truly fitting that said sound categorizes the game as a game, and can truly be heard a mile away - truly signifying that it is a Mortal Kombat title you’re playing in the here and now.
The Smoke Remains
As we patch our way through the modernized landscape o Mortal Kombat, the presence of smoke continues to remain. A true staple of the game, it has been patched through a variety of internals revisions, but still remains the same. This proves how deeply rooted the smoke is within the game, and the legacy it has forged over time.
So if you’ve been on a hiatus for a while or you’re one of the newer adopters of the franchise, you don’t have to worry about smoke competition being disabled. It remains firmly intact and can easily enjoyed each and every time.
Smoke Signaling Quality
The affiliation between Mortal Kombat and smoke will forever be resilient. As more and more games drop the smoke, or lack the Fear Factor of actually being able to knock down your opponents in one stroke, Mortal Kombat continues to push and implement its own. Ultimately proving that this is one of the few series’s that refuses to go away, or lower it’s standards.
The joys of Smoke Mortal Kombat are alive and well.
