Oh nice. Hopefully Goro ain’t hella broken.
Hopefully as the GI hints to, he wont be playable
Actually kind of hoping that’s not true, would like to see what they could do with a Goro who’s not boss level status.
But we already have some one who was made explicitly for that purpose! Her name is Sheeva! :lol:
If you really are jonesing for a playable Shokan that should already be balanced for competitive play, that’s all the more reason you should be hoping she’s in the game. Leaving Goro to stay right in his lane.
MK bosses shouldnt playable. ever.
Turns out that info isnt 100% true. Read this again: TRMK - Mortal Kombat News - European Mortal Kombat Kollectors Edition Details Leaked? - UPDATED
Alright thanks.
I was reading about the MK cast over on TVTropes and man I felt rather bad for how they’ve been handling Johnny Cage after MK2, but after seeing some MK9 footage of him…I guess I warmed up to this change, especially with his infinite sunglasses victory pose xD
Who cares if they’re playable when we have stuff like Superman ground pound infinites, corner shit in MK2 and Bo Rai Cho raping without mercy?
The bosses would be mid tier alongside shit like that…
I remember the good ol’ MKD Online days. You pick Bo Rai Cho and it was automatic disconnect. Guess no one wanted to feel the Bo Staff bad hit detection and puke infinites.
Ugh. I just KNOW some shit like that’s going to slip through into MK9. I just pray they weren’t yanking our chain on the game being upgradable through tweaks on their side.
I agree if they were left in their traditional capabilities, people said the same thing about Akuma a bit back in Alpha and that turned out well. I just don’t see any feasible reason why they should stay bosses if they can make them work as normal ones.
Bosses can be reworked into playable characters. It’s not impossible. Any game is capable of having bosses that are normal. Kahn was simply top tier in MKDC, and was low or arguably bottom tier in MKA. The male Shokans in MKA were also pretty bland characters…even with their boss properties they were so much worse than MOB and a bunch of other characters for that matter that banning them was pointless.
I think it’s more “MK” tradition than anything that Bosses should remain unplayable.
As long as the game is balanced… I am not opposed to playable bosses, but just NOT in MK9. 
I remember laughing and being shocked at the same time - that was the first time I’d heard of something like that. A character so damn bad that he basically made the community fear going online and getting raped.
And don’t forget that throw mix-up game and style change to sumo mode to make combos do crazy damage. Shit was ridic.
MKD…lmao.
For right now, I’m more interested in seeing if NR is up to the task of making a fun and competent game utilizing the game’s 20+ or so “base” characters. If they can accomplish that much, then maybe we can start entertaining the idea of what more they can do, through DLC and other updates.
Otherwise, I’m perfectly fine with Kahn and Goro staying in their lanes.
Not bad but I still miss the Predator masks.
indeed.
