When a player is defeated by Kintaro in Kahn's Arena, after Shao Kahn says "Kintaro Wins", the crowd cheers. This exact same Fatality can be seen if the player is defeated enough times while battling against Kintaro.
#GORO FROM MORTAL KOMBAT SERIES#
This is the only time Kintaro was featured in a finisher in the Mortal Kombat series prior to Shaolin Monks. This has been noted as the hardest Fatality to pull off in Mortal Kombat as it requires you to win your final round while holding low punch through the entire fight, then releasing it two seconds after the end of the round. Shang Tsung had a Fatality in Mortal Kombat II where he morphed into Kintaro and punched the opponent's upper-body clean across the screen. The extreme difficulty in defeating him was enough to provoke a comment from Video Games magazine, in their 1993 review of the home versions of MKII, that Kintaro was "the hardest fighting game boss ever.He doesn't just beat you he kicks your ass." He also shot up to three fireballs at a time. This was because he was able to grab someone in mid-attack and throw him or her to the ground, usually followed by a teleport-stomp. In fact, one of the concept renders of his weapon actually makes a reference to the Survivor song Eye of the Tiger when noting the jewel, encouraging players to "blast it loud and hard" while playing.įor a long time after his introduction, he was seen as one of the hardest bosses in all of the Mortal Kombat series. In Armageddon, Kintaro's tiger appearance was played to the limit, including his weapons: his Saber Teeth resemble (in both looks and name) the oversized fangs of the smilodon, or "sabertoothed tiger", and both it and his other concept weapon design (a set of circular gauntlet-mounted blades known as the "Tiger Claws") have a distinct tiger's eye jewel embedded in their center. His unique features, which differentiate him from other Shokan, are explained by the fact that he descends from a rare and ancient family lineage, known for its brutality. Kintaro's appearance since Mortal Kombat II has shifted, with Kintaro growing closer to the initial tiger appearance drawn by Midway he is distinguished from other Shokan by having true feline features (actual fur, digitigrade feet, fangs and a distinctly feline nose). While his size would not be a problem (all the playable characters were digitally resized to be the same height), the impending difficulty of creating an extensively detailed fur-lined costume, however, led to Midway's revamping of the character into the game's four-armed boss in the same way as Goro. Kintaro was originally going to be a playable character (a tall anthropomorphic tiger with two arms). It should be noted that in each new game, his feline features stand out more than the last. According to his Mortal Kombat (2011) bio, this is indicative of the lower-class Tigrar clan of Shokan, differing from the more elite-class Draco clan that Goro and Sheeva belong to, so there are likely more of his kind out there. Unlike Goro and Sheeva, Kintaro has tiger striped markings all over his body as well as sharp fangs, claws and feline-like feet. He is the only member of his race seen thus far to have unique features. Kintaro replaced Goro after Goro was defeated by Liu Kang in Mortal Kombat.
