Hearts they would frequently pull out of each others chests to demonstrate their devotion.
There are less lethal ways to show a symbol of love.
Weve trawled Etsy for the best and worst Mortal Kraftworks and paired them off in fights to the finish.
Is every Etsy effort a cheap cash-in?
Or can those of skill still claim flawless victory?
The only difference is Krochet uses yarn instead of your enemies entrails.
Theres also the pleasing irony that this Sub-Zero effort protects you from the cold.
And it faces off against…
But the whole point of bead accessories is assembling them.
Calling a preassembled mask hand made is like calling a game over screen hand played.
Youve missed all the fun stuff and are now stuck with the unpleasant results.
Though their choice of Reptile is wonderfully suitable.
Kandi offer dozens of identical products which differ only in color selection.
Its fitting since Reptiles entire origin story was getting people ridiculously overexcited about a minor color change.
Result: Kiss-ality
Sub-Zero wins by locking Reptile in a passionate embrace.
While Sub-zero is comfortably padded, the things pressing into Reptiles face quickly make him too uncomfortable to continue.
The Battle of Style
These cufflinksmake us happy.
Except these are made of silver and worth real money.
Their only problem is that theyre not calledMortal KombatKufflinks.
Otherwise, theyre a subtle video game fetish for those who cant wear catchphrase t-shirts to work.
Well, actually, in that situation, youre still crazy.
But at least then its because its your job.
And nerd isnt even a problem any more.
All kids play video games.
Wed never mock anyone for making and wearing these.
Thats crafting, thats expression, thats defining yourself by what you love, and thats awesome.
But when you start charging money, youve opened yourself up to review.
Maybe its genius self-defense by the worlds worst but most cunning artist.
Which is truly amazing for a Mortal Kombatant considering some of the clothes theyve worn in public.
The Kufflinks only downside is that theyre twice as expensive for Goro.
The Artistic Struggle
Cupcakes are an awesomely opposite way of shouting GET OVER HERE!
Nobody blocks when you offer cupcakes.
Though we do enjoy the software of art gallery style naming to fan-art.
Result: Cannibality
Mortal Kombat 3s animalities allowed us to consume our opponents.
Cupcakes allow us to do it without ruining our clothes or attracting the attention of terrifying internet fetish groups.
Literature versus Art
This bookshould be the stupidest entry on the list.
They were crudely carving the worst feature of modern gaming before we had the technology to render it.
But it shows a glorious understanding of retro gaming love.
His craft is beachcombing the world, his craft is making sure someone out there gets what they want.
Unfortunately, thats also true of his rival …
Update: Its sold out!
Sonya Blade Eroticais a hell of a highbrow name for this scribble.
Subjecting its entrants to extreme physiological distortions isMortal Kombats entire deal, but it has nothing on this sketch.
And then we have the beads.
Throw some beads in there.
Result: Retrotality
The book embodies our nostalgic love for the games of the past.
The erotica tries to upgrade an old name with new graphics and features.
Heres hoping thatMortal Kombat Xcan do a better job of both.
