February 1st - Mortal Kombat

So we started out with good ol' Mortal Kombat on the Super Nintendo. I'd never actually played the original, so this was pretty exciting! I am used to newer fighting games though, so it was a bit rough around the edges. It was hard for me to do combos and stuff and I found myself standing there punching erratically while Rayden (spelled Rayden in this game) sat there and watched me without a clue what to do. The uppercuts were very OP even back then, I see.



The cast of characters was small so I tried them all out. Since I was unable to effectively use any of them, they all felt pretty similar to me! I actually won a few rounds against sharky but he was the overall victor, which we expected. My first win was with Johnny Cage. It was funny playing the same character (Liu Kang) at one point because there was barely any noticeable difference at all!



Afterwards we tried to tackle story mode. I put it on super easy and I think (hope) that it didn't save the settings because we were getting our butts kicked in the third endurance round
