*It cracks and when you squeeze through you suddenly feel like you squeezed a gelatinous blob that emitted that light, shortly before it vanished into a poof of smoke*
@RoadkilBanana While you're in there, wanna check the electric for me? 😂
Mortal Combat often turned into actual combat in my house, but I also liked my SNES.

*You begin noticing a sort of pattern in this place, from the little you explored, this is some sort of contorted, logicless, but consistent enough, attempt at replicating the frozen in time colony you arrived in before entering the habitat. You didn't see the interior of other buildings, but whatever liminal pseudo-dimension this place is, has began with vast extended halls of the rooms of the dilapidated habitat, and now this place looks more like a processing warehouse or something... you do remember you saw a sort of vehicle carrying some ore before you entered the building... other than that, it keeps on being too silent and empty and echoy for comfort... never mind the things you saw in the void!*
It's a fun game for sure, it's just that the roster is small, and a lot of the OG characters are gone. It's still fun tho.
I missed most of the MK11 craze since I was still stuck on how good MKX was.

*The cloth sails through the air, illuminated briefly by the flickering light before vanishing into the darkness. A moment passes, and there is no sound of it landing. It's as if the void has consumed it entirely.
The silence is oppressive. Then, just as you begin to consider your next move, a subtle change occurs. The rhythmic clicking in the structure grows louder, more pronounced. It's as if the building itself is responding to your action. The walls seem to pulse, the surface shifting in a slow, hypnotic wave.
Suddenly, the void is no longer completely dark. A faint, almost imperceptible light begins to glow from within, casting eerie shadows that dance across the distorted walls. The light is not natural; it flickers and pulses, creating an unsettling effect that makes it difficult to discern the true nature of the space beyond the hole.
Your senses are heightened. The feeling of being watched intensifies, and you notices subtle movements in your peripheral vision — shadows that dart and disappear when you try to focus on them. The air grows colder, and a low, mechanical hum fills the corridor, resonating through your circuits.
As you watch, the light in the void coalesces into faint, ghostly shapes. They appear to be figures, but their forms are indistinct, as if they are only partially real. They move slowly, almost aimlessly, within the void. The sensation of wrongness, of being out of place, deepens.
Then suddenly, what's more unexpected, for a reploid, you wouldn't think you could cough like a flesh being, but you suddenly start salivating and coughing after the mist reaches you as if you choked on something despite not even needing to breathe... what is going on with this place?
But before you can put two and two together a sudden thunderclap is heard and you are pushed back as in a flash, the hole in the wall is regenerated entirely, while leaving the hulk of metal and circuitry on the floor where you dropped it, as if it just created more wall matter out of nothing. The mist has vanished and you stopped coughing.*

*As you cut through the electronics, causing a brief shower of sparks, suddenly there’s a soft hum as hidden systems activates.
You notice an immediate shift in the environment. The flickering lights overhead stabilize, casting a harsh, unwavering glow on the distorted surroundings. The air, previously stagnant and thick with yellow mist, begins to circulate with a faint hum, as if unseen vents have suddenly activated. A rhythmic clicking echoes through the structure, like the sound of a mechanical heart beating in the depths of the labyrinth.
The feeling of being watched intensifies. It's as if the very walls themselves are observing you, their surfaces shifting and rippling with an unnatural animation. You sense that the building is aware of your intrusion and is responding in a way that is both unsettling and intriguing.
Once through the inner layers, you are met with a dark void. The light from the blade barely penetrates this space, suggesting it’s either exceptionally large or possesses light-absorbing properties. The void is eerily silent, amplifying the unsettling atmosphere.*

I love fighting games too. Mortal Kombat mainly, but Street Fighter forever holds a special place in my heart. Have you played SF6? And if so, how do you feel about it?
