We love taking on guests. If you love the fightans and wanna guest-host on the show get in contact with the hosts, or leave a comment expressing your interest. Specialists are in demand. Whatever series you're most in love with, let us know and we may be able to arrange an episode with you in mind. Do not worry if you can't make it Monday nights. The hosts may be able to find a suitable time if you think you can contribute.
Due to a low episode count there won't be a July Music Contest. Senisan and MatCD have won the June contest. We'll be re-vamping the rules come next time we do this.
Today is a very special episode with some very special guests. We've got three moderators and tournament players from three Mortal Kombat websites. They came on to discuss the classic games, the potential behind the Mortal Kombat reboot, and the recently growing Mortal Kombat tournament scene.
Your friendly neighborhood Wry Guy is running short on time, so you won't be getting any extensive notes. Be warned though. This episode is very, very long and is largely controlled by our guests. Don't worry, we're still there to talk bullshit. Unfortunately we were TOO WEAK against the incredible knowledge these guys throw at us.
Episode Highlights - Bulkmailer and Char Aznable get their listener questions answered by the MK pros
- Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, the tournament worthy Mortal Kombat we never knew about
- The growing Mortal Kombat tournament scene
- Analysis and fears of why the Mortal Kombat reboot may not be good
@smurfee mcgee: The thing is very few people ever knew that it was a game that could be played competitively and hold up. Mortal Kombat in general has a bad reputation, it was really nice to hear from some guys who knew more about what was going on and could tell you what was good and what was bad and why.
Yeah that seems to be the case. I guess I only did because MK is what got me into fighters in the first place. UMK3 is the shit, and I wish it would get back on XBLA. It's the best 2D one.
I will definitely listen to this one soon.
Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?

So much nonsense.
Needs more Motaro.

Best UMK3 matches I've seen.
ESPECIALLY if you've never given a fuck about Mortal Kombat.
Anybody that's ever played a Mortal Kombat game should listen to this.
I will definitely listen to this one soon.
I also find it funny that I could tell the guests apart, but for the regular hosts, the only voice I ever recognize is Bloo. =P
Anyway, very informative show.
