Mortal Kombat 11earned strong reviews when it released back in April, but the game has also had its fair share of criticism. Much of the criticism aimed atMortal Kombat 11revolves around features or characters from past games that didn’t make it to the sequel,like fan-favorite character Mileena, for instance. SomeMortal Kombat 11fans have also taken issue with the game’s removal of a Raiden characteristic that has been a mainstay for the character since the very first game in 1992.
A couple of days ago, Reddit user SuperKasual posted an image petitioning NetherRealm to bring back Raiden’s iconic flying scream inMortal Kombat 11. For the uninitiated, past versions of Raiden would comically scream gibberish when doing his flying attack, but that’s no longer the case inMortal Kombat 11.
While the post does appear to be a joke, it has seen some pretty strong support on Reddit. It has over 4,000 upvotes, with many comments on the thread expressing their approval of Raiden’s flying scream being added toMortal Kombat 11. Others are less enthusiastic about the idea, wanting to create a petition for NetherRealm to add Reptile as a playable character in the game instead of having the studio focus on Raiden’s goofy scream.
This YouTube video by Mitsuownes showcases how Raiden’s flying scream has evolved over the years, so those who are confused about what exactly it is should check it out.
There doesn’t appear to be any legitimate petitions to add Raiden’s flying scream toMortal Kombat 11that we could find, which is surprising considering how many petitions have been made about the game. A quick trip to Change.org shows that there are a ton ofMortal Kombat 11petitionson the site, with most of them demanding NetherRealm add certain characters to the game.
Perhaps the most significantMortal Kombat 11petition was the one toadd Shaggy fromScooby-Dooto the game. That petition is still getting signatures to this day, nearing 400,000 signatures total. Despite this, though, NetherRealm has confirmed that Shaggy won’t be added to the game, and it’s unlikely other petitions, including any that may get made for Raiden’s flying scream, will influence the developers either.
Mortal Kombat 11is out now for PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One, with a Stadia version also in development.
