Re: Skarlets Release Date And More!

I Have No Problem With new characters.

Neither I ..... I think people should stop a while and think :

"They (NRS) just put every single character from MK1 to UMK3, in this game. They did not put Rain at first, because Rain was not a playable character in UMK3, neither a secret figther as Noob or Smoke. It was a decision of NRS to let Rain out, but, they are aware about Rain fan base, so, Rain is on DLC plans, he will be here, this year, probably.

So, all classics characters are here, the characters we ,overall, like the most, so, we should stop to act as ungrateful spoiled babies regarding NRS and MK 2011 ..... in fact, we should thank a lot for this game for being released, otherwise, we could be stuck until now discussing about MK 3D games, and how boring they are ...."

MK 1 had Reptile as secret character.
MK 2 made Reptile playable, and next, we were introduced for a lot of new characters, and they put out Sonya and Kano, and , even this way, MK 2 is one of the most sucessful games in the franchise.
MK 3 they presented at least, half of the roster as new characters. MK 3 was a fail ? Never

So, what the hell Skarlet, who is a new character, cannot be here ? Ermac rumour was started in the very first MK, god damn ! Ermac took 3 years to be a real character, in 1995. Skarlet rumour has at least, 15 years, and now, finally NRS and Ed want to make her a character, and people still complain about it ?

Ed Boon enjoys urban legends and characters rumour build by fans, the red color is cool to use for characters, since they invest on Ermac, who started as a pure rumour, everyone, everyone always mentioned Ermac as a red ninja, and NRS made what fans wanted : put him as a red ninja in UMK3. Once the fans pleased, they worked in Ermac appearance and powers, improved him along the franchise, and now, he is a respectful character, he come from a pure palette swap to today a complete individual and independent character. So, the same with Skarlet : she starts now , and , the next games, she will be improved. So, it's unfair to demand perfection for her by now, since she was never a real character before. Only time can enhance and improve characters appearance, moves and all, because first, you need the first step, what NRS is doing for Skarlet now.

The reason we want her is because for 1 look how many male fighters there are compared to female.If you dont want her dont buy her.But dont complain cause for one i know i want her and alot of other people want her.
 
Re: Skarlets Release Date And More!

This argument is sadly reaching the point of irrelevancy (if it wasn't already there when this started lol). The people who would've preferred a more tried and true character instead of Skarlet aren't really going to give her much of a chance. Maybe once she comes out, they will, but until then...not really. The people who are interested in her or are looking forward to seeing what they do with her aren't going to get their hopes smashed by this thread and started wishing she'd be shelved.

Skarlet is going to be released. Period. No one at NetherRealm is waiting to see what the forums are saying before they decide if Skarlet gets the go-ahead.

If people wanna sit on their principals and not play as her because she's taking the first DLC character slot, a slot that could've been given to say, Rain or Tanya or another fan requested character, that's their business. They may save themselves some money on a dicey character or they could also miss out on a well-developed addition to the MK roster. NRS has done great things with the characters in this game though and I see no reason why they'll take a vacation with Skarlet and leave her out to dry. Skarlet does have a lot going for her, but she is also a brand new character and could very well fall short.

Some people here are saying they don't want people to try and justify wanting her by saying we don't know what she'll be like, but that goes both ways. If not knowing her isn't a good enough reason to want her, then why should it be a good enough reason to not want her?
 
Re: Skarlets Release Date And More!

3mag5num7 nailed the question

The game is still fresh, DLC is just starting to come, Ed promised long live for this game while just in case if fans support it along the test of time, so, we will not see a new game so soon, the next 2 years will be only DLC content , taking advantage of this engine ..... so, people have no reason for hate, or , to be afraid if Rain,new stages and others stuff will not be released ..... they will be, everything at right time.

I think we should give some credit for NRS, they have their own vision, but, they did a great game, they treated this project very serious and with responsability. They know this game is the MK Franchise reborn cornerstone, so, they will do good things for this game, and , consequentely , we , fans, will gain with that.

This game ismore than a reboot... it's a restart.
Click to expand...

yeah, agreed ..... is not much a reboot, since MK1,MK2 and MK3 were released as separated games .... and since MK 2011 more or less merged together the 3 games, it's more a restart than a reboot of the franchise, ignoring some old things done in past ....

If they had released MK1 as a new game, MK2 as other, and MK3 ending the Trilogy, this could be considered reboot.Every character appearing in his/her respective source game. For example, Baraka and Sheeva never met in MK2 or MK3, but in MK 2011, they appear together. So, change of facts.

But the next MK will deal directly with the end of MK 2011, so, MK 2011 was a restart, 3 games in one.
 
Re: Skarlets Release Date And More!

LOL Rain WAS playable in UMK3, what are you saying? In the arcades, he wasn't, but in the console releases, he was always there. He IS an UMK3 character, along with Ermac. Just release Rain already DAMNIT!

Plus, they only characters that SHOULD have been included from the beginning was Motaro and Rain, yet they preferred to choose Cyber Sub-Zero and Quan Chi, both amongst the least popular characters so far. I hope Cyber Smoke gets a DLC spot too...

I know that Rain was playable ONLY in console version, this is a well-known and quite obvious fact, hehe .... but, I know too that this fact alone, was not enough to convice NRS to release him as part of the original MK 2011 roster. I had hope he was among the planned 26 characters (I was expecting Quan Chi to be in DLC spot with CSZ, and Rain in the 26th spot), but NRS and/or Ed was considering only the characters on Arcade version, what seems to be.
 
Re: Skarlets Release Date And More!

Oh I forgot to comment. I am fine with Skarlet, that's her real name right? I hope they don't change it. My sister likes MK, ADORES MK9, and obviously she wants more females. Not very impressed by her combos, but I didn't see much Kitana there honestly, Kitana is a combo-beast, Skarlet looks a bit underwhelming as of now, can't wait to pick her and see what I can do with her :)

I'm a huge Mileena fan, I like all females gameplay in this game, I train constantly with Jade and Kitana too.

But I admit Kitana has a better moveset than Mileena. She has a better projectile move, better juggle starters, and better dial combos. I give a bit of advantage for Kitana in a Kitana x Mileena match, is harder playing with Mileena well at the same level of Kitana.

Probably, Kitana might be better than Skarlet too, altough, analyzing the hack combos moves of Skarlet, she has 4 juggle starters , one of them after 4 hit combos, but, since we know nothing about her special moves, so, we have to wait for some gameplay video or only after she is released, and so, see some pro demonstration of her.

Yeah, I'm really looking forward to it. Rain would be nice, but he's not a deal breaker for me. Just finished with the semester. It's gonna be a very MK-friendly summer. MK9, great looking DLC, and MK Arcade Collection...score.

Back To Topic.


I Dont See Why Kenshi Was Not Spoken About Is He Not Coming?
 
Re: Skarlets Release Date And More!

It seems everyone is only talking about Skarlet. Does anybody remember that KENSHI is also part of that DLC pack?

It's because Skarlet is a newcomer character, and we are curious about her gameplay, story and details, while Kenshi is well-known.

But, agreed, Kenshi deserves more attention, he is one of the best character post UMK3. But I hope they make his telecinetic powers differ from Ermac .... this is the main point about Kenshi MK 2011 updated version.

Thank you! I've been hoping to see Kenshi get some love. This new Mortal Kombat is a great chance to give him a tweak, make him play like his background story depicts him. Make him a swordsman first and a telekinetic second. Use it to supplement his fighting prowess, oughta put some distance between him and the "Ermac clone" title he's received.
 
Re: Skarlets Release Date And More!

A good way to make Kenshi a bit diferent of Ermac, is doing , for example, him be able to manipulate his sword from distance and use it with his telecinetic power. A good anti-projectile telecinetic, using his power to stop projectiles, could be cool too.

Could hold his arm out, sword held vertically, and his sword glows blue. It'd give him a nice projectile reflection if they wanted it. He's got buckets of potential. I really wanna know how they update him for this game...
