Frost (DLC) Thread - "Could Frost merely be hibernating?"

I have to admit I enjoy the ice based gameplay. I like the defensive moveset, and I am one of the advocators of cyber subzero. I for one would enjoy frost so long as she is unique. She should have her own moveset thats more offensive, as in projectiles instead of another freezing attack. She could be great if she would have a projectile, a teleport, a overhead freezer and some type of physical attack other than the slide.
 
I would be all for Frost, since a lot of people (excluding me) think Sub Zero is too slow, maybe she can be a little faster? Idk, just a thought..
 
Cyber Sub is one of the better characters in the game, I think. Never mind Prima saying he's the worst and has the slowest combos (I want to know where to get the stuff they smoke). CSZ adds a whole new element to Sub-Zero; he's very offensive-oriented and his moves combine the best of Sub Zero with the aggression and speed of Cyrax. If Frost is around I think it will be for fan-service. But, perhaps they can make her a speed-based character with more defensive value (i.e. evasion). Who knows?
 
I have bin thinking about this for a while. Frost is needed as DLC, or in MKX she is pretty much the last human snow-slinger. Big brother went to a muddy dark side, little brother got all techy, frost well, she's human. i like the ice shower idea to freeze maybe amped up with ice sickles with an impaling effect. The dagger toss hi and low (the low pinning a leg to the ground). It would also be nice to see her use the fall back and shatter teleport sub-zero had in MKvsDC.
With this I was also thinking that NRS can solve 3 fan base Problems with one Character. "Smolder" best name i could come up with Basically it brakes down to a female cyber-ninja of smoke. give her robosmokes move set from UMK and maybe some tech dreadlock pigtails for the hell of it (alt would be Human). But that's just one dudes idea, to bad it would never make it into the game!
 
I'd like Frost added. She's not an absolute favorite, but she is a favorite. And if they can differentiate Ermac and Kenshi, or even the two version of Sub Zero enough to justify both, I see no reason why Frost can't be given a good remodeling to make her different.

You are talking about MK10 because in MK9 we still have human sub-zero but im sure that sub zero will be human again in the next game at some point, there is no way they can replace sub-zero with his cyborg form, they would be destroying the character, i think CSZ is just a limited time change. Sub-Zero is Sub-Zero.

Yeah, regardless of whether or not they stick to the story as-is for Sub-Zero, he most definitely will be playable in his human form. Changing him in the story is one thing, to deny gamers that ability to fight as what equates to one of the series' mascots would be terribly unwise.

Not if they include Frost as Sub Zero; He would still be "Playable", just not as Sub Zero.

Frost =/= Sub-Zero. I'm not gonna rip on Frost by saying "she sucks" or "Sub-Zero is pwnzors", but Frost as Sub-Zero would be a simple impersonation. It wouldn't be great if it was another brand new character taking up the mantle of Sub-Zero. If Frost did, there would too many identity issues. She's here own character and a character that has a personality that would not mesh with the title of Sub-Zero. I know not everyone takes story into account, but I most definitely do. Frost is impulsive and immature and needs to develop herself more before she would be even remotely able to take up such an important position. This would also kill her own identity and leave her to live up to "Sub-Zero". I think it'd much better for Sub-Zero and Frost fans if the two remained their own characters.

My opinion has been stated before. Cyber Sub-Zero remains as the canon story version, Human Sub-Zero would return as a non-canon playable fights, and Frost, if she appears, remains Frost, her own character. Just my thoughts.

Oh no, I didn't mean Frost as being called Sub Zero or as her having the Codename of Sub Zero, I just meant that she has the playstyle while Sub Zero continues onward with Robo frozo.

Personally, if she were to make it, I want her to have Sub Zero's Ice Counter from MK vs DCU. While Cybby already has it, I'm talking about the Offensive nature of the Counter; use it in a combo, and she would grab out at the opponent, freeze them, and then hit them. Maybe that could be her freezy move? She grabs them, freezes them, and then you can Combo at your leisure?

I too would not like to see Frost take up Sub-zero's mantle, this is her time to shine as a unique character. Even if they gave her a completely new set of moves, I guess I can live with that, just as long as she retains some form of her ice powers. Also as some pointed out, she can be more speed based.

Frost-Special Moves-
Ice Dagger Throw- Creates ice daggers to throw at her opponent. The EX version would freeze the opponent.

Icicle Summon- Forms Icicle spikes from under her opponent. The EX version would launch the opponent.

Ice Slide(Ground or Air)
A variation of Sub-Zeros Ice slide. Could also be performed in the air. Where she would slide diagonally down into the opponent from above.
The Ex version would end with a dagger stab then after impaled she would kick the opponent away.

Ice spikes(Anti-Air)
A small flurry of spikes would be unleashed from Frosts hands
The Ex version would freeze the enemy but not in place. They would still descend leaving them open for a combo.

Kick Flurry
Similar to Kitanas pretty kicks but vertical/diagonal.
Ex Version would end in an air throw.

X-Ray- Ice Scream(Projectile X-Ray)
Frost throws her daggers. They impale and crack bone and freeze organs. Frost slides across screen knocking the opponent air-borne Now at the opponents back, Frost does her kick flurry shattering the frozen organs and launching opponent to the other side of the screen.


Fatality 1- Ice to meet you:
Frost summons two Ice Daggers which she throws into the opponents legs. Opponents legs freeze and frost kicks them off. Then summons a spike throws it up and spinning back kicks it into the opponents head. Head freezes body falls over and the head shatters. Frost Wins Fatality.

Fatality 2- Blizzard Of Frost:
Frost summons a swirling blizzard which she tosses ice spikes into. They shoot across screen and impale the opponents head through the eye sockets. Legs and arms. The opponent flails around screaming. Frost giggles grabs the icicles in the opponents eyes tears the head off and halves it. As she raises them in victory the arms and legs of the opponent freeze and shatter leaving only a torso. Frost Wins Fatality!

Ok, I see whatcha mean. I would still prefer all of them than to lose Human Sub-Zero all-together. He's been my favorite since MKII and when I think of Mortal Kombat I think of him and Scorpion. I don't hate Cyber Sub-Zero like so many others and would actually encourage his presence as the canon character, but I do not want to lose Human Sub-Zero as a playable fighter. I'd be pretty bent outta shape.

Exactly what i gotta say is:

No matter how many ice characterers they include in the next game, even if Cyber Sub is still present it doesnt bother me, the only thing i want is Human Sub-Zero again, if its cannon better but if its not well... still have him in versus mode, and thats the most important thing.

Anyway i prefer Frost not being DLC, i think that in this MK we have enough ice...
 
I dont think the should have Frost as DLC. Im actually a fan of Frost but it would be better if they left her to MK10. There they can develop her fighting skills and special moves (of which i have a few opinions of my own) and give her an 'overhaul' where need be. Then they can set her story line up once again.

I dont think its a good idea to keep adding more and more characters as DLC. Sure there will be a few people who will be disappointed that their fav character isnt there, but each game needs to be different and not the same fighters constantly repeated.

Id like to see some of here moves include:
FROST BREATH - similar to scorpian ripping off his mask and burning you with fire, but make it icy breath that freezes opponents

GROUND ICE - her ice throw used to go along the ground. im all for that aslong as it either disables an opponant (making them slip aroundand have no balance - like bo rai chos spew. Or make in freeze their legs to the ground so you get a free hit.

ICE SHARDS - sends a multiple flurry of ice shards at the opponent

FREEZE BLOCK - a move freezing opponents who attack

X RAY: This would involve her daggers in some way

No need for too many special moves, so long as they get the combos right:)

Anyway,. back to the thread point...
Id much prefer characters to stay game/story specific and limit any DLC. afterall its what really makes each game unique. Itll be interesting to see where they plan to take this whole story line in the next game too:)
