6 things that piss me off in Mortal Kombat

From the start let me say that Mortal Kombat is a f'ing awesome game. It breathed life into a series that desperately needed it and if you knew the hours I've spent playing this game you would know that I really like it. To put it mildly I'm also known to be an.. angry gamer sometime. I've never broken a controller like some people I know but I think I may have invented some new curse words along the way. These are 6 things I've noticed that straight up piss me off about mortal kombat.

1. No X Ray Variation

The x rays are an awesome addition to the series and are as cripplingly brutal as they should be. Seeing them for the 30th time however they start to get old. On a side note, the crazy spectrum of x ray damage between characters is crazy and its annoying when your 30% x ray is countered by shang tsung's ridiculous 58% damage bullshit! I would love to see x ray dlc where you could choose which x ray you would use from the character select screen a la Marvel vs. Capcom 3 assists. 

2. 2 on 1 battles

Any of the times in story mode when it forces you to fight 2 characters with 1 life bar I knew rage was coming. The best fighting games force battles to come down to whoever gets one last punch in but when the game throws two fighters against you it becomes so unfair that you are usually forced to resort to some of the cheaper ways of fighting or many many many battles until you either get good enough or lucky enough to win.

3. Raidens flying move noise

WHAACHUCKACHIYA! 

4. Spelling everything with a k

Kombat
Koin
Krypt
Kobra
ect...

Not kool guys, not kool.

5. Everyone who uses scorpion

One of the most badass iconic characters in the series and one of my favorites to play as. His move list is so varied and with special moves that teleport, sweep kick, projectile, and a move that homes in on where your standing on the ground he can be everywhere at once. Did I mention hes fast too? I played an online game against a friend recently and he brought out scorpion and kicked my ass but didn't win a single game with another character because he said he sucked with everyone else. Call me a sore loser if you want but scorpion is soo fast and so varied that hes a little OP in my book.

6.Online Lag

Nothing is worse than being in a heated battle online and about to lay that final punch on someone when your game lags just long enough for your opponent to block and break your neck. This isn't because my roommates are downloading porn or something upstairs either, this is a consistent problem I've had with just the mortal kombat servers in probably 70% of all my matches. Takes some of the wind out of my bloody sails in what is otherwise an awesome online system.
