We need to revive the tradition of new ninjas. What colors of male, female, and cyborg haven't been used yet?

are you crazy? Sorry, is not correct your point. Never and never the ninjas was never the majorie per Mk title On roster.
Mk is not tekken mk is this:http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0090728/ and this http://quickman.gameological.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/121015_interview_johntobias_featured.jpg or this http://www.google.com.ar/imgres?img...sch&ei=SY2oU53-I4r0oATN4YDoAw&ved=0CAIQsCUoAA

You have told so much about SF, well first of all, For your information SF4 (thanks this game, the franchise is alive) has borned thanks to who? 3 factors:
1-street fighter 3
2-Yoshiniro Ono
3-Takashi Nishiyama (the important factor)

Listen, maybe sf/capcom, Did not released anything in a while but do you know what? if Capcom does the same "ideas" from Boon and Voguel, the world shall laught to capcom ´s face, cause ed boon have not balance (alway take extreme desisions) with the changes on franchise. For any reason, SF is conservative and the sad of it is that mk9 had few good stuff: 1- the cinematic on storymode 2-some few characters remastered, the rest means shit. SF is a sacred game and this try in not copy ideas from other franchise, not like boon not Sr.

If you have any doubt, you can check my signature, and suddenly mk is the stupid minor brother in comparision with SF.

Have you seen them in MK though?
Then they are not clones. Kotal is nothing like Ogre. Ogre has no special fire attacks or giant sacrificial swords. All they have in common is green skin and an Aztec theme.

Your complaint about Torr is that he looks like Bane? That's pretty weak dude. Considering that Injustice was the first NRS game that featured characters with unique body sizes. And now they're bringing that to Mortal Kombat for the first time, eliminating the complaint a lot of people had for MK9 of characters all looking the same. Liu Kang should not be the same size as Jax. So Torr is probably the most unique out of all of the new characters, but he's a clone because he's the same size as a character in a different game. Yeah, sure.


MK built itself on foreign character influences. Bruce Lee, Big Trouble in Little China, Predator, BloodSport etc.

stop? kotal is not ogre? let me see this stupid aztec god is here cause the mexican ex nrs member called "hector sanchez" wanted add this in the past, this god also is less evolved in comparision with the egypcian gods. Follow your reasoning i say it:
Your point is same as saying, Cyrax is not Predator
because Predator didn't have Dreadcopter fatality
But is very and very obvious from whom Kotal Kahn took inspiration and is Ogre, special moves are more or less details by now
Ogre has special fire attacks also in SFxT, is curious cause those kind of special moves in Tekken are less so because Tekken is 3D fighting game and is based more on normals than on special moves

Honestly, i do not want offend but ppl like u dudes, makes believe to me that i see that ed boon washed yours brains alot

Bye.

Boon's mind control convinced me to pre-ordered 3 copies of MKX. All kneel before the great shadow that is Ed Boon.

My ideal roster would be about 50% old characters, and 50% new characters.

Also I dont know why everyone is freaking out saying all the old characters are gonna be super old and thus not playable. This game covers the span of 25 years, while yes cassie cage is at the latter end of the timeline and Johnny and Sonya at that time would probably be too old, that doesnt mean that there wouldnt be young playable versions who are present in the beginning of the storyline.

Kitana certainly doesn't look 10,000 years old to me though...

What Noob-Zer013 said, attacking others over the language is unacceptable and I wont stand for it. It's still flaming/attacking someone, no matter their language. Consider this your last and final warning. I'd suggest next time saying nothing if you can't say nothing nice at all.
 
Can somebody explain to me what makes the characters MKX brought with it much worse than the characters MK3 brought with it?

What makes Kotal Kahn worse than Black/South Asian/Whatever She Is Green Clad Pallete Swap Kitana (Jade)? Or a stereotype of an American Plainsman (Nightwolf)?

Kitana is the tits. Leave her alone. Feel free to trash Nightwolf, though. Such a bizarre annoying character.

Honestly, it might not be anything to do with the concepts of the new characters, but rather just that a lot of the population grew up with the original trilogy. With nostalgia sometimes comes a revisionist history of how things were, and suddenly characters from the 90's are near and dear to people's hearts. MK is one of the few things from the 90s that Hot Topic hasn't ruined for everyone.

Except mk3. Ppl believe that mkm sz is worse game in comparision with mk3, and is not true, specially if you starts make all kind of comparisions.
IF you see it very deeply and with attention sprite per sprite
and whats those stuff means since 1995, then you can see that gradually, that mk started to be f/cked up gradually.

And replying to gaiden, the problem is the lack of originality. For me mk3 had the most worst concept/design ever.

You has mentioned about nightwolf, and him honestly was a risk in 1995. Because mk1 and mk2 were games with an intense martial coreography and
Just boon-Goskie-voguel they ran out of this martial art coreography formula.
sal divita was a martial artist? no. In compensation, they added powerfull special moves to character.
The only bad from nightwolf, was his green shoulder move.

I dare to say that night was based in Thunder character from Killer instinc 1, imo nightwolf was a failure, and him return to mkd and mk9.

Now you can see that nightwolf is different from Thunder, but him was absent, my point is that nighwolf has become an anti generic char hidding very well from where him has based.

But is very different at mkx, you can guess very fastly from where the news character was inspiried, even if we did not have a global internet.

The problem is that ed boon is taking ideas from other game franchises and other movie franchises that are not based in the arts martial genre.

Mk is here thanks to "troubles in litle china" movie. Think on it why kenshi had success? cause him very prolly was inpiried and based on zato-ichi movies and Blind fury movie.
here an example:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blind_Fury
here is the last movie from zatoichi:
here more info about him
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zatoichi

From it, boon only has mixed this with modern concept/clothes on kenshi ´s outfit, in really kenshi have in his body a swat soldier costume.

well, ed boon should not take ideas from everywhere and every game, it´s my point, him should to be more carefully with mk and too him should keep the bases that Jhon Tobias gave to mk in the past.

MK9 was game that erased all the thing that Tobias has done, it is very bad imo. If not, you shall see a mk disguised as another game losing his identity.

Is THIS what you call "bad"?

one curious detail of why boon has f\/cked up to mk3, was that him has removed this detail from mk2:
here the exact minute:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0IR6nzVOl1Q&feature=player_detailpage#t=913

Remember that mk3 was managed 100% by ed boon, goskie and voguel, Jhon Tobias has taken a second plane here and Dan Pesina is no more here. Tobias is more responsible in make Sheeva (the most realistic shokan ever but useless of mk s´story) and Motaro.

For me whole mk3 umk3 and mkt is trash, except some stuff, beyond of programming.

They took the stupid goskie ´s idea to bring in mk, the urban city concept, other of the big risk in whole mk serie. For any reason you starts to see the subway stage again in mkar after a large while, cause was not a success.

in the case that you show here on thread:
about jax:
-jax have a generic stance pose from scorpion, cause boon decided erase scorpion, why not repeat a seemed mk2 formula?, well you know what happen then, that started in umk3-mkt the kingdom or The Reign large of the stupid Generic ninjas.
-jax ´s martial corepgraphy is more less powerfull than mk2 is clearly inferior, really suck include his HK teakwondo kick, don´t help him-
-jax is more dwarf, more thin/slender and is more weak in game play, even him having new special moves.
-jax ´s fireball are less realistic in comparison with mk2 fireball animations.
-jax ´s mk3 costume except his metal arm (that seem not enought metal arm) is very sissy, in mk2 is clearly more military-
-jax ´s first fatality is based on terminator 2 movie, just in T-1000 character, is a clear "generic" example that never should to be happened.
-jax ´s second fatality, is the one of the most stupid ever, him is going to be a giant for stomp to the player 2?
-jax ´s animality a neon and un unrealistic lion?
-everyone knows that friendship are jokes on game, but jax away to seem a aphro noth american boxer, him seem very sissy. Why not add this to sonya?(fit more to she) Well mk2 friendship at least was infantile.
-brutality the most generic finisher for all the whole roster, honestly i hate this.

about kabal:
him had the same luck than nighwolf. The difference is that kabal has hide (more or less) from where this character was inspiried. Same like as the cyber ninjas, kabal is based on predator. And again same as happened to nightwolf that kabal started to have more powerfull special moves in compensation of the bad martial coreography, even Richard divizio know about martial coreography, but without Dan Pesina, kabal sucks at this detail.

kabal at least was anti generic but:
-his Ground Saw special move, in spriting is generic, why not add other sprites? pit3 Ground Saw shulod be unique.
-both fatalies are crap
-animality is idiot



anyway kabal is one of the few things well done, but is not perfect, not like kano on mk1.

About stage, the bank-roofstop:
-problem with this, they are not photorealistic like happened with mk1-mk2
-this have 2 interactive layer
-not seem an invasion enought

the good detail of this stage is that:
-both stage are interactive, but is not very realistic use an uppercut for send to the rival player at second floor.
-is clearly that this stage, show that khan ´s invasion takes places in New York and you can see the WTC. anyways i don´t share that this was a good idea.
- you can see the first animated portal of mk ´s history.

too Boon goskie and voguel f\/cked up the mk3 ´s history mode, and here you can see the first great plothole of mk ´s chronology. But well Mk9 was worse, they wanted fix this mk3 plothole with this stupid reboot and mk9 is the most giant plothole ever on mk. For any reason boon need run away in mk10 from this, taking 25 years after /beyond.

but again you must see very deeply what´s all those stuff means, beyond of programming and sprites,, the problem is the concept that they had took, and show how mk started to f/ckup graddually with over time.

It´s almost the explanation but always appear more details and more mistakes from mr.boon.

I'm not intending to put down anyone but this is what I've been telling Tarkatan Trash and reminding him that he goes over the board between criticism and insult. I just wasn't able to save (quote) some examples but yes this one an excellent example of flaming.

Again, I'm saying this not to put down anyone but as a reminder that what some people say here are flaming when they mistake it as criticism.

Peace everyone.

Back on topic, I hope that the 14 new characters will at least have more of my types of characters.

Cassie's good but I want an Asian looking girl to play as.
 
Why are there so many complaints already? We hardly know any information. What's wrong with new characters? I'm just confused as to why some people in this community are bashing a game that hasn't been released yet. Old characters used to be new characters at some point *shrugs* I'm excited for the game either way...they can take my money now lol

I think we just need stuff to discuss that leads to these debates. MK9 we more or less had a jist of who's going to be in the game, as well as the story. Unfortunately for this game, we cannot accurately discuss and speculate, which is why it's getting agonizing as we're waiting for new info to be released. Not to mention that there's no concrete release date, so who knows how long we're going to be speculating and discussing for.
 
Or what? We'll die? Please, no more rainbow ninjas. Need implies necessity, and there is none. The 'tradition of new ninjas' was just a conceit for low memory on old hardware. Think about it, the less characters look like ninjas, the less you need to correct anybody on who actually IS or ISN'T really a ninja. It's your opinion, man. If you want the power rangers to be in every Mortal Kombat, there's LOADS of existing games that will do that for you. But no, we don't all NEED half the cast to look like a menacing bag of skittles with their mouths covered. I'm an old school MK fan too, but that is not on my wish list.

Lmao EXACTLY!!
