Characters that won't appear in da future

[ShowBlaster]

Drahmin, Havik and, yes, even Hsu Hao were pretty unique characters. Yes, i said that about Hsu Hao. He had a unique design and could have been a better character, look at some of his crazy design concepts, i will never understand why they went with the worst of all of them.

But i dont want to focus on Hsu Hao, lets talk about Drahmin and Havik. Both of them bring original and fresh ideas to the MK Universe which justify further exploration by the MK Team. I like the crazy look of both of them and Havik especially, the cleric frmo Chaos realm.

There is definitly stuff to improve on with all 3 of them, but so much potential right there.

Just to be clear, i dont really like Hsu Hao in the past games, but still think he has the potential to be great, if reinvented properly

I agree with everything you've written.

Jarek, however, like Kira, adds nothing new, whereas both Havik & Drahmin added something new (while disgusting, I LOVED that the dude had a swarm of buzzing flies around his head -- unique!).

And I don't see what was so bad about Hsu Hao. I liked playing with his thunder clap and stomp, but using his sun & star blades were a bit hard.

If he's not unique enough for Boon, then he's just as bland and boring as Movado (and what the hell kind of name is that? Isn't that the name of a high-end wrist watch?).

Frost was Subzero with breasts -- that was a mistake. We so didn't need that character and when they made her speak, she whined, upping the HATE by a factor of a thousand.

Shujinko is useless without powers -- all the powers. Don't get me wrong; the Dan Tien Dao is a badass blade -- but his fighting styles are Kung Lao's. Without them and the powers, the sword's all he's got.

Fujin, in my humble opinion, is nothing more than Raiden-light and added nothing new to the game except to annoy fans that Raiden wasn't in MK4.

You wrote out every female but Kitana, Jade, Mileena, and Skarlet. Every time I see your avatar, I know some anti female crap is about to follow. Its old ... seriously.

Sorry didnt know Kobra, Kai, Jarek, Hotaru, Jax, Kano, Jarek, Dairou, Darrious were females too... my bad I though they were male charcacters. *sarcasm*

Just shut up I didnt write any anti female crap, learn to read and dont label people with retarded wrong things.

If I would be "femenist" (that is a word you have no idea what means, im sure because of the retarded way you are using it) I would name ALL of them but I didnt, because I think Kitana, Skarlet, Mileena, Li Mei and Jade are the ONLY decent female characters in the game, the rest are generic and or lame. And i named lots of male characters I dont want to see again too, so next time you will use an strong word like "feminist" please try to read a dictionary to know what it means, and use it with an argument justifying it.


And please im begging you tell me where is the "anti-female crap" in this post *read below*

The ones I dont want to see again are Sonya, Kano, Sindel, Sheeva and Jax. Then from post UMK3 I dont want to see Hotaru, Dairou, Darrious, Kobra, Kira, Frost, Sareena, Nitara, Kai, Jarek, Shujinko, Ashrah, Tanya and Khameleon.

And yes I prefer Mokap or Meat rather than any of the characters I named above.

PS - I could also say that everytime I see you sign I know some femenist crap will show up =)

I gotta disagree, his moves in MKA were mostly blood-based, and now we've got Skarlet. I'm thinking he'd be pretty irrelevant now.

How many fire-based characters do we have by now in MK9? A lot.

With fire powers: Scorpion, Liu Kang, Sektor, Shang Tsung, Sheeva, Kintaro, Kratos...

Element is not as RELEVANT as you think as long as gameplay stands out.

I think the element/thing is indeed TOO important, at least to me it's one of the most important things in a character.

Fujin, in my humble opinion, is nothing more than Raiden-light and added nothing new to the game except to annoy fans that Raiden wasn't in MK4.

1 - Fujin borught something new and unique; wind powers.
2 - Raiden WAS in MK4.

Actually Kira has always been my most hated character EVER.

I can take any other character in the franchise, even Mokap, but I cannot simply get Kira. She has absolutely nothing going on for her. Her gameplay is a 100% rip-off of other characters and her awful, simply awful design-choice makes her bland in the middle of way more charismatic females. Her storyline is shit seriously...

If it is to bring a female, bring me Khameleon and give her unique moves: it'd be good to have a female reptilian character and I actually really like her story in MK.

I really hope Meat shows up in MK10, even though Shang Tsung is dead, there's really no point of him being there, however, his gameplay is still very different from Skarlet's.

I agree with you, but I think the biggest problem I have with the elemental powers is their lack of immunity to those who wield it. I'm not saying those who play with fire shouldn't get burned by using it, but someone like Scorpion, who resides in Hell and who emerges onto the fighting stage from a portal of flames from Hell should really be unaffected by projectiles of fire, don't you think?

Same thing with Subzero. Anything cold shot at him should actually empower him. Raiden should laugh at Nightwolf's and Rain's lightning bolts.

These are details that bug me.

Don't they bug you?

It's pretty clear where the line is. Liu Kang should not be immune but someone like Shang Tsung, who can impersonate Scorpion, could be.

1 - Fujin borught something new and unique; wind powers.
2 - Raiden WAS in MK4.

Pardon me. I forgot about Raiden being there. I now remember his barbecue fatality. My point was, he was/is/always-will-be a tawdry knock-off of the one who came before him. And yes, wind is different than thunder/lightning, but the dude was still a seriously boring character, IMHO.

Dude, I agree with everything you said.

Sonya has one of the most unique moves in fighting game - her leg grab - and she doesn't have no "element" at all, so element is not too important for making an unique gameplay. It really isn't. It may be important to YOU. Fox will hate the fact Sonya is the highest tier in MK1 though

 

[VIICloudStrifeIIV]

I have trouble believing I'll miss Hsu Hau and Drahmin. The Neterrealm is full of Oni demons, so unless they get rid of them entirely I think we'll at least see a Drahmin like character again.

Hsu Hau is a little different. If the Black Dragon/Red Dragon rivalry ever takes any important role in the game, then you could have new Earthrealm warriors but maybe no one like Hsu Hau.

That's the good thing, noone wants Hsu Hsao or a similar character to him to appear again lol

 

[natedoggcata]

Sheeva

that is all

 

[TheHotCorner]

Hsu Hao is awesome he's like the Asian Hitler.

 

[JRfromGermany]

I don't need Mokap, Kira, Meat or Jarek, one Ch(Kh)ameleon needs to go, the rest can comeback, with new movesets and a good writen story.

 

[kitten]

Mokap, kira, milleenna, drahmin, Frost, and Sareena

 

[KillerBee]

Everyone from MK4 on up should never appear again. All those characters were lame and forgettable. They should just stick with the classics and make completely new ones that aren't copies instead of having characters that are similar to others i.e Kira or Frost.

 

[Gurimmjaw]

Mokap, Meat, Hsu Hao, Kobra, Darrius, Khameleon, Chameleon, and Jarek I wouldn't want to appear again and good chance these characters won't appear either.

I would definitely give the chance of characters from MK4 to make it in future games since I like them and a few in MKDA and MKD. Im not like a lot of people with their Nostalgia and say only characters from MK1-UMK3 should appear because their is a damn cop in a Mortal Kombat game with ninjas and Shaolin monks and sorcerers lol.

Kira: Sonya and Kano ripoff
Frost: Sub-Zero ripoff

0% originality.

and MK4 characters are not lame, at least not all of them, Fujin, Reiko, Quan Chi are great characters, though Kai, Jarek, Tanya are lame.

lol I guess you don't understand the whole "i.e" thing.

That was exactly my point that Kira and Frost are complete rip-offs.

Sorry english is not my native language, and I dont get that slang, I though I.e. meant for example.

Oops I did it again... lol

i.e means "in english" I guess like a detailed "lamens term" type thing. I think I just worded that comment wrong lol.

But I agree that they need to stop making characters that are like others.

I love Britney!
