History YMMV / MortalKombatDeadlyAlliance

** Koffins in the Krypt can be bought again, if you select one by accident then the game still immediately saves and takes your money, giving you nothing in return.

* WinBackTheCrowd: ''Deadly Alliance'' brought renewed interest in the ''Mortal Kombat'' brand during the 2000s, thanks to a better transition into [=3D=], some new characters that became fan favorites like Kenshi, Li Mei and Frost, the {{Shocking Moment|s}} of killing off long-time series protagonist Liu Kang and innovative gameplay. Sadly, the [[VideoGame/MortalKombatDeception next]] [[VideoGame/MortalKombatArmageddon two]] entries didn't quite keep the momentum going.

** The narrator for the character endings sounds completely unenthusiastic with what he's given. He almost sounds like text-to-speech program.

* MagnificentBitch: [[NobleDemon Nitara]] is a [[OurVampiresAreDifferent vampire]] whose realm, Vaeternus, was conquered by [[Characters/MortalKombatShaoKahn Shao Kahn]]. Seeking to free it, Nitara finds the Portal Sphere, an orb which, if destroyed, will free Vaeternus. Since the Portal Sphere was being submerged in lava, Nitara decided she needed the cyborg Cyrax to obtain it. Earning Reptile's loyalty with a Saurian artifact, Nitara has him damage Cyrax's teleportation device. Nitara, having the means to travel the Realms, offers to send Cyrax home if he retrieves the Portal Sphere for her. Cyrax agrees and Nitara keeps her word, afterwards destroying the Portal Sphere. One of the few to save her homeworld from Shao Kahn--all by her own cunning--Nitara was willing to use underhanded means, but all to save her home and people.

* EthnicScrappy: Hsu Hao is widely hated for being a bad Mongolian stereotype. See TheScrappy.MortalKombat page for more.

* TheScrappy: Hsu Hao is considered this by many fans and [[CreatorBacklash especially so by the creators]]. While he isn't the only one to have done some reprehensible things, he lacks any sort of [[WellIntentionedExtremist good intentions]] (e.g. [[AntiVillain Scorpion, Reptile, Nitara]], and [[FallenHero Dark Raiden]]), [[VisionaryVillain visionary ideas]] ([[StrawNihilist Shinnok]] and [[TheAssimilator Onaga]]) nor [[DracoInLeatherPants charisma]] ([[RankScalesWithAsskicking Shao Kahn]] and [[TheChessmaster Quan Chi]]) of any other villains to make up for it and thus whenever he meets an untimely demise [[AssholeVictim his fate is given especial emphasis]]. [[MurderArsonAndJaywalking And his design is ugly as sin]].

** Quan-Chi's Fatality is something... ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESiTYQy0ulM interesting]]''. It begins with him jumping onto his victim's shoulders and grabbing their head, he then pulls said head and instead of ripping it off in traditional Mortal Kombat fashion, he somehow ends up stretching their neck, leaving the victim awkwardly waddling around with an elongated neck and suddenly falling to the ground. It simply looks like something that was left unfinished.

** Drahmin is either a character with a lot of potential in the story or an annoying addition to the cast. Ed Boon personally considers him [[CreatorsPest]] the latter, and his very difficult playstyle has given him a hard time getting over with the fans, but he does have a higher fanbase than Hsu Hao at least (AKA more than one non-ironic fan).
