MK Vs Nintendo: Baraka

Bio
Baraka is the fiercest of the Tarkatans, vicious nomadic mutants from the wastes of Outworld. Like all Tarkatan males, he joined Shao Kahn's army once he came of age and survived the brutal Ritual of Blood. He gained the rank of Enforcer after single-handedly defeating a rebel faction. His loyalty and strength make him a favorite of the emperor; his retractable blades have slain many of Shao Kahn's most bitter enemies. As a kontestant in the Mortal Kombat tournament, he will ensure his emperor's claim to Earthrealm.

Special Moves

 * Flying Shard: Baraka fires a spark by scraping his blades together and aiming at his opponent. This is called Spark in MKII.
 * The enhanced version is called Sparked. Baraka fires a bigger spark which causes a knockdown as well as increases the damage.
 * Chop Chop Blades: Baraka slices his opponent up vertically with his blades numerous times. In MK vs DCU, he follows up with his Mutant Blades move. In MKII Baraka repeatedly stabs his opponent in the gut rather than slashing them, and is only called Chop Chop.
 * The enhanced version is called Chop Chop Shop and stabs the opponent two more times.
 * Blade Swipe: Baraka performs a quick, strong swipe at the opponent with his blade. This move is implemented an advancing auto-combo move called Slices in MKII.
 * The enhanced version is called Slicer. Baraka adds an uppercut to the end of the Slices combo.
 * Blade Spin: Baraka would spin like a top with his blades extended, damaging his opponent. Baraka could spin indefinitely in the MKvs.DCU version of this move.
 * The enhanced version is called Spinner and connects with two more slices in his vicious spin.
 * Blade Charge: Baraka quickly lunges at his opponent with both blades out. In MK vs DCU, this move appears after Baraka's Chop Chop Blades connects.
 * The enhanced version is called Blade Rush. This increases the damage and range.
 * Scrape Kick: Baraka releases his Tarkatan Blades and launches at his opponent with his legs. This move is a command attack rather than a special move. Baraka is very vulnerable if this attack misses his foe completely.

Fatalities

 * Head Impalement: Baraka releases his blades and stabs his opponent through his/her mouth. He then uses his other blade to decapitate the opponent. Baraka holds the severed head that is impaled on his blade up in triumph.

Battle Intro
Baraka walks onto the battlefield and sharpens his blades. He then says, “My blades will find your heart!”

Victory Pose
Baraka carves the ground around him like a circle with his blades and crosses his arms, forming an X with his blades out.

Rival
Name: Mumkhar

This is because they have claw-like weapons. Think of it as Tommy Scissorfist.
