I’m more concerned with what DLC characters will mean for the larger community. We’ve never seen legit DLC characters in a fighting game. Soul Calibur IV did that lame shit with paying for a simple unlock code and even that threw SCIV players into a tizzy over whether or not Vader and Yoda are tourney legal.
If they do genuine DLC then presumably it will require all participants have the character meaning lots of mandatory updates to download characters you don’t technically have access to until…paying for the unlock code. :mad: Lame.
Nevertheless, I’m all for keeping the game alive if it’s actually good.
Since this is the retelling of MK1-3, thats pretty much your roster right there. There may be some unliked characters cut out (Sheeva, Stryker mainly) and theres a few other guys they could throw in there as playable (Goro, Kintaro, Motaro, Shao Kahn, or some newer characters).
Nice analysis there. Few things I want to add. The 26th character could be Smoke… yes, I know you have listed Smoke but in MK3, he was a robot version, MK 2 had the original smoke. Also, maybe they will put in characters like Quan Chi because although he makes his debut in Myth or MK4, he is the background story during the first 3 MK’s. One more thing… does that mean no new characters?? I highly doubt it… I don’t think characters like Cyrax, Stryker, Sheeva etc. will make it to be honest. Just my 2 cents I guess…
Characters like Noob Saibot, Rain, Chameleon and Ermac should come nowhere close to this game. That is really when MK started getting silly. Just slapping in generic ninjas. Hell, Noob Saibot should be excluded just for his generic “tee hee, our names backward!” ridiculousness. Also leave out the bosses as playable too.
Now putting in people like Baraka, Kano, Liu Kang, Kabal & Cyrax would be fine by me.
Then they also need to exclude Kitana just for her name meaning “dirty” in japanese, and Mileena for her name sounding like “raspberry” sounds in Russian
But Seriously as Bcrt2000 posted I can see the entire roster coming back, from between MK1 and UMK3. Kahn will be final boss (as he should be). Hopefully there’s two modes: Boss Kahn (UBER BROKE. A FINAL BOSS!!) for the singel player mode. And Competitive Kahn (playable and not so broken) for vs. mode. Actually I hope for this for Goro, Kintaro, and Motaro too. Because I’d hate for them to be banned.
Hopefully the final battle vs. Kahn is on the “Pit 3 (Kahn’s Soul Throne Room)”. OMFG I can only imagine the awesomeness of how that’d look with the technology they have at their fingertips. I’m not really a big fan of the Outside Arena (MK2). It should be you vs. Kahn…alone. With the epicness of the Pit below ready to tear you into ribbons. And everytime you lose vs. Kahn he should kill you (either Pit fatality and/or by knocking your fucking block off with the gdlk hammer…with a lil caption below that reads “GTFO” :lol:).
K moving on (I kinda love Kahn a lil too much)…
I noticed they brought back “Shang Tsung’s Throne Room” from MK1. I’m curious of which version of Shang Tsung will be playable. Now that I think about it Kung Lao is dressed iin his MK2 uniform. I wonder will they have all characters alternative outfits (between MK games) available for this game (maybe DLC)? For example: Shang Tsung will have his MK1 (old man robe), MK2 (young man with yellow/black suspenders and epic hat), MK3 (Price…the singer hairstyle, with revealing pants), and possibly MKDA (super hidden costume…and honestly his best one imo) outfits selectable pending on which button you press. Will he actually be able to morph into different characters (since after UMK3 he lost that ability)? They did say characters will have all moves in toe…amirite?
Apply what I said to other characters like Jax (who has two different outfits MK2/UMK3): will he be given moves that support metal arms and no metal arms? It’s a lil hard to picture Jax shooting missiles from his bare hands. Maybe there will be Classic characters like in MKT for DLC (that’d be very cool).
Will Rain be in this game (I really liked his costume from MKA)?
I really think they could do Rain right if they put him into this game. His combos thanks to the Super-round house kick in UMK3 and his levitate orb made him deadly in the right hands. They couldn’t do that in MKA, well because it was a rushed game, with too many characters to put minimum effort into.
They did say that they weren’t gonna have the same animations for some characters, so he’ll probably not have the lightning. But it’s fine, as long as they make him good.
I guess I can agree with that. I can’t say I hated that suit, but I was more worried about how Rain played. If he was utterly terrible with no potential whatsoever, or good like in UMK3.
The biggest problem I foresee is too many people throwing too many lame ideas at the development team and them listening to too many young goofballs in the hopes of pleasing as many people as possible. Instead, all that would do is alienate a vast majority of the paying crowd. I was already a little disappointed when I saw an area solely for DLC and there was already a 26-person roster. That means that we are pretty much guaranteed to see all the schwag, lame characters from the past eventually.
I really hope that since this game will obviously be rated Mature that Boon and company completely ignore any suggestions from people under the age if 18.
you mean the thread where people like you cant even comprehend a childrens manga?
xtg, yamazaki in mk would suck. youd have one totally awesome fucking character in a game with 10 ninjas that all look the same, wear tights but in different collors repping powerrangers. theres people who like masked riders, and people who dont. im the latter.
on the game, it still pretty much looks like mk from gameplay vids. a slower mk which so far only seems to have improved on the fatalities. so instead of 50 arms your opponent now actually has only 2 arms flying around after a fatality. maybe the game is twice as good as mk 2 now, which is pretty much still shit tier. thats even below whp, and thats already low tier. retarded shit like combobreakers and what not being added for even more stupidety.
dont worry peoples, i dont understand the love for mk cause the game plain out sucks. in other words, i wont bother posting shit bout this crappy game anymore. shit, i dont even like mvc. but theres no denying mvc3 is at least a decent to good looking game. im still not seeing ANYTHING remotely posetive about this game. damn, you guys mus be some hardcore fans indeed.
