Mortal Kombat

GORO LIVES...

http://www.mortalkombatwarehouse.com/mk1/story/a02.gif

A 2,000 year old half human dragon Goro remains undefeated for the past 500 years. He won the title of grand champion by defeating Kung Lao, a Shaolin fighting monk. It was during this period that the tournament fell into Shang's hands and was corrupted.

Mortal Kombat Trilogy:

See MK1 Bio

Mortal Kombat Gold

The half human dragon stood as Shang Tsung's protector in the first tournament. Goro took the Mortal Kombat title from the original Kung Lao, only to have it won from him nine generations later by Lao's ancestor, Liu Kang. Seeking Revenge, The Shokan Prince has returned from the Outworld to crush Liu Kang in Mortal Kombat.

Mortal Kombat Deception

Goro had regained control of his Shokan army and fought to cleanse Outworld of the Dragon King's Tarkatan horde. Though the Tarkata are formidable adversaries, they were no match for an army of Shokan, inspired as they were by regaining their Emperor's favor. Baraka's troops were quickly defeated.

Goro had proven himself a powerful ally of the emperor. But Shao Kahn had given the Shokan much in his return to power. Goro felt a gift of loyalty was in order. The Edenian military had been crushed and Kitana herself had been captured. Goro brought her before Shao Kahn and sacrificed her as an offering of fealty to the once and future emperor of Outworld.

Armageddon Ending

Having defeated Blaze, Goro had attained the power of a god. But to the forces of Darkness, this power was not meant for a mere Shokan to wield. Shang Tsung, Quan Chi, Shao Kahn and Onaga all had anticipated victory, only to have it stolen from them. The four surrounded Goro in a vain attempt to wrest the power from him. Goro laughed, raised his arms and let forth an ancient Shokan battle
cry. From out of nowhere an army of Shokan warriors stormed the pyramid and slaughtered the four attackers. The Shokan race will rule Outworld forever!

That first image is a nice freaking GIF.

Also stop hotlinking.

Sure it may be old. But later after work, I searce for old pics of Goro from MK 1 and MK 4 to post here. Goro is the greatness fighting sub boss of all time.

I already know that he has four arms.

I remember when I was in grade school, and when we were playing MK3 or 4, beating Goro was a big deal. I did it.

Grade school includes elementary, middle, and high school.

That's why you're assigned grades.

Good thing you have me around.

I so old I rember when Goro was in the arcades games for MK1. It was pretty wild at the time, Goro would land RIGHT next to you, and he start off with his chest slam most often than not lol.

I think MK is the first fighting game with a "Monster" boss so to speak.

Did SF have a Goro type thing in Sf2??

No.

Blanka?

Dunno if he's a boss, though.

Blanka was never a boss.

He was a playable character from the start.

Blanka was not as scary as Goro though lol. Blanka could just have pass as a teddy bear or something with a weird hair due lol.

Blanka isn't scary at all, especially if he's pink...

Oh yeah I forgot about that color choice in Street Fighter lol.

Yeah, he's amusing when he's pink.

He doesn't look like a threat at all.

Goro got owned by Johnny Cage in the first Mortal Kombat movie.

He's still cool, though.

The movie is non canon though.

In the games it was Kang that brought defeat to Goro. And as it stands, only Liu Kang defeated Goro.

True, but you have to admit that Goro's reaction to Johnny Cage's low blow was hilarious.

Well in the "Games", if Cage low blow Goro, Goro just takes it and thown Cage, or chest pound Cage. The move outside of damage of couse, hardly had no effect on Goro. Goro should be like a tank, and the move did not do that. A low blow, and a few kicks knocks Goro off a cliff?? Thats not Goro.

He just took him by surprise (something you can't really do in the games). That's all.

Well even if Cage took Goro off guard, I still cant belive Goro went out like a chump.

He had it coming.

No he didnt. Unknown to most people. In the Games, Goro became a good guy for a while, helping Kitana's army defeat whats left of Shao Khan's forces.
Goro is pretty deep. He is not evil. He just wants to look out for the Shokan.

In the movie, he had it coming.

I like the first movie, BUT I wish the fights were more in tone with the games though. I talking buckets and buckets of blood. Subby's head rip ete and all.

The movie seem like a water down version of the game is all.

Why would you want to watch a movie with so much blood in it?

It would have been rated "M" or "R".

So?? And what are the MK games rated?? yep M. They didnt tone down on resident Evil in the movies.

Well, the director of the Mortal Kombat movie may not have wanted a blood fest for each fight.

Come on, we had a lot of great bloody kun fo movies.

Blood Sport comes to mind, most of the cheesy 1970's movies ete.

I think Mortal Kombat could have turn it up a little is all.

Yeah, but less people would want to see it if it's blood everywhere.

I would be one of those people.

Come on , If any normal Human took a punch from a beast like Goro, there would be blood all over the place.

Nobody would want to see that in a movie.

People see movies for BLOOD. I mean thats what made Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street, and other movies so great.

Look at the first Conan movie, non horror, but blood fill up to the rim right there.

I doubt many people would want to see Mortal Kombat if it was filled with bloody battles.

Than explain why people keep playing the games?? Blood is what lured them to Mortal Kombat. OF couse the game play keep them there. But the blood lured them. Like wolfs to prey.

It's a game, so they're in control of what happens.

They can't control anything that happens in the movies.

Its not about control. I have all 7 of the MK games, on the Ps2, and Ps1(MK4) and I still do the over the top finshing moves lol.

I pretty happy they re release these games for the newer sysems.
Now only if Ki gets the same treatment lol.

"Ki"?

Do you mean "Killer Instinct"?

Killer Instinct

Yep. They took evey thing that made Mortal Kombat great, and put it in 3D lol.

Over the top blood, and No Mercys.

And of couse hard to beat bosses in Eyedol.

I think Goro started the monster Boss fights for fighting games.

Back before Goro, you had other human. Ryu had Saget, ete.

A Killer Instinct movie would be interesting.

Who's your favorite character?

MMM

Eyedol was pretty cool.

Sabertooth or Riptor.
B Orchid was great also.

Glacius was my favorite character.

He had some nice combos.

Meh. Guess you're right there...

But yeah. Like Yoshi said, he did have it coming... for breaking Cage's $500 sunglasses. =(

Goro Smash.

Yeah. Basically, except Glacius is from another planet. Of course, the move where he liquifies himself and does an uppercut from the floor is still awesome nonetheless.

E-bay? xd Poor Fulgore...

Thats always pretty funny. Goro is good comic vaule in thsos comics lol.

To be honest, I don't know what's going on in the comic.

That's from after the first MK tournament, when Goro was thought to have been dead. He traps Liu Kang and beats him to the point of death, until Liu gets rescued by one of Johnny Cage's bodyguards, which I did not post. Just thought that was a cool moment for Goro, so I went ahead and posted it.

Oh, okay.

I couldn't help noticing the fact that Lui Kang is missing his right foot in that scan.

Goro as he appears in the MK4 comics (Limited Edition), forcing Motaro's people to give up their land back to the Shokan.

Powerful enough to wipe out The Kombatant (a magical being created by someone from the Chaos Realm, whose infused with the powers of every fighter from the first MK game except Reptile). It's under the "Goro: Prince of Pain" trilogy in the link I posted.

Too bad his downfall was being erased from existence by a character everybody hates.

LOL

I try to forget about Dark Khan.

Well, at least it wasn't canon.

Thank goodness it wasn't. I'm still ticked that they didn't put Goro in that game. Midway told people that the MK characters they have in MKvsDCU, were chosen due to their popularity. So Midway, are you telling us that Goro isn't popular?

Yeah. WTF? I know Cage is pretty damn popular too, despite all his haters.

I guess Midway picked the characters that they assumed were the most popular characters.
