What In The World is Goro Doing in Mortal Kombat X?!


Well Goro is the sub-boss of Mortal Kombat X aside from the fact he is DLC only playable (BOO), so what's his possible role in the game?  Now the last time we knew was that, Kotal Kahn defeated Goro, disarmed him and sent him back to Kotal Kahn.  Remember the MK X comics is a prequel to the game.  So what in the world is Goro doing in Mortal Kombat X?  Perhaps he will get his arms back in the comics via mystical means.

Mortal Kombat 4/Gold featured Goro as a sub-boss who you can play as via a secret code.  The bummer was however that Goro would only fight against characters in Goro's Lair even when you use him and two, he has freaking NO character ending.  In his bio, Goro had returned from Outworld seeking to crush Liu Kang in Mortal Kombat.  He also appeared in Kung Lao's ending where he faced his other rival Kung Lao.  He defeated the original Kung Lao in Mortal Kombat, now both of them face a truce.

In Mortal Kombat X, he neither appears in Story Mode nor is his role explained other than that he's the sub-boss of the game.  But unlike previous Mortal Kombat games (save Deception Game Cube version, Unchained and Armageddon), the player can do a fatality or brutality on him.  Unlike Mortal Kombat 4/Gold, we will also get a Goro vs. Goro match when playing as him (which also happened in MK Trilogy, MK Deception Gamecube version, MK Unchained and MK Armageddon).  His biography only reveals he was part of the civil war in Outworld and the canon comics, reveal that he had lost to Kotal Kahn.   To bad like MK4, his story isn't expanded. =(
