Frost for MKX

Her moves aren't a problem, she had different moves and used her ice powers differently. Sub-Zero didn't have her Ice Trail for example. They also slide differently.

It's like getting on Liu Kang, Shang Tsung, Kintaro, Quan Chi, Scorpion, and the such for all having Fire abilities.

Yes she should. She has Ice Powers, she should be able to freeze. It's beyond lame to take that from her so Sub-Zero can feel "special".

The ability to freeze is the exclusive property of characters carrying the name of Sub-Zero.

You never played Deadly Alliance? Frost came with an Ice Trail that froze her targets.
 
I have actually. What I'm saying is, Frost is a ripoff on those exact grounds.

Yet you act like Frost couldn't freeze when she could with her Ice Trail.

Makes me wonder if you read the comic issues that have Frost as well. Furthermore they showed Ice Users can be different in Deadly Alliance, Unchained, Armageddon, and MK9.

Your bias is showing.
 
Incoming Frost stuff.

https://pp.vk.me/c619219/v619219073/1d9b4/AH5VWTRhYN0.jpg - Possibly Frost above Goro.

Frost appears in MKX Comic #4 and #5, she was last seen alive and being treated by Sonya's Special Forces response team who're looking for Casssie.

Perhaps Sonya recruits Frost into Special Forces? Than again, that pic shows possibly Frost in an updated Lin Kuei outfit so... She may be Lin Kuei again to help fill out Sub-Zero's ranks. Shame if that's the case as they could really go a new path for Frost.

Anyway, her new background is this.

Frost is an Orphan who lives on the streets, she worked hard to get good at fighting (She's self-taught when we see her first), and she made a living putting her life at risk in freelance MMA deathmatches which is how she met Cassie who, at that point, is far less skilled than Frost. Frost is overconfident and arrogant as ever which is how Cassie won a losing match. Frost also seems to resent that Cassie has a good life due to a rich daddy.

Really hope Frost gets in as she has story potential and it would be funny to see the naysayers faces over Frost being in the base game.

Is it me or is the dude in the last pic on the bottom of the tower Motaro....?

She's still in the same class of characters as Sheeva...a ripoff of an established character. That is her legacy, and not even the comic changes it.

Sheeva was her own character and she sure as heck didn't do fire stuff like Kintaro.

Doesn't change it? Now I know you didn't read the comic as she as a completely different history, it's even up in the air if she ends up a full-time Lin Kuei. She also isn't a rip-off considering the fact that she was planned for all the way to MK2 and never played like Sub-Zero.

Furthermore, I don't see you trashing Mileena for being Kitana + Baraka or Cassie being Sonya + Johnny Cage + Stryker or Tanya being Quan Chi + Jade or Ermac = Kenshi minus the sword.

That's Goro, Motaro is dead and I don't think they would bring him back due to the Horse parts.

I know, again, I KNOW she has her own variants of Sub-Zero's abilities, but that's the thing. They ARE Sub-Zero's abilities. The only time Sub-Zero ever went completely underneath his opponents was in Mythologies, other than that, he has always stopped at the ankle with his slide. Frost went under her opponent, but it's still the slide move no matter how many times people need to explain to me that it's different. I've made various posts explaining how different these two slides are, but the fact still remains... it is Sub-Zero's move, even if it is portrayed differently through Frost.

I am not trying to sit here and say that Sub-Zero needs to be treated "specially" because Frost shouldn't have his abilities. The problem is that I don't want to see her using anything from Sub-Zero's arsenal anymore. She shouldn't have to freeze her opponents all because she is using ice. I feel like you're ignoring my suggestions because there is more to using ice than just completely freezing someone for a few seconds. I'd rather see some ice character use their abilities to slow a character down rather than freezing them completely because it shows a variety of how ice can be used.

And believe me when I say this, I am THAT person that tries to clear up to people how Frost isn't a clone to Sub-Zero based on the differences of their moves. But I am not going to deny that the moves that Frost has are from Sub-Zero. Just because they are portrayed differently doesn't mean these are her very own original moves, they are a variant from Sub-Zero, which means they aren't that original no matter how many times I need to be explained by you or anyone else. I may be a die hard fan of Frost, but I am not going to sit here and deny that she and Sub-Zero are completely different from one another. They are and they are not.

With fire, you just burn them. But with ice, you can either be completely frozen or be slowed. There's two different ways someone can show the effects of having something cold touch them, why can't Frost have something that shows that? Why does she have to have something that Sub-Zero already has? Why can't she be completely different from him by using snow, cold mist, glaciers, hell even freezing cold water if it comes down to that?

I don't want my favorite character showing similarities from another favorite just because she's a cyromancer. I want to see her act completely different from Sub-Zero. Yes, she has her own variations of HIS moves. But that's the problem, those are his moves. Just because the creators gave her a different form of Sub-Zero's slide doesn't mean that is her move. That was and still is Sub-Zero's move. The only reason why she has these moves is because Sub-Zero trained her and her biography clearly says that she has similar ice abilities. So yes, I know why she has these moves.

But we're not in the Deadly Alliance era, we're in X. We have it where she can actually be a different character for once and I, as huge as a fan that I am, would definitely LOVE to see her be completely different from Sub-Zero. Being a MMA fighter is at least a start. If she is to even be a playable character in this game, I seriously hope she has no moves at all that acts similar towards Sub-Zero. Because she can act so freaking different from him in so many ways.
 
No they arent, they were hers. It's like saying Kintaro is taking from Liu Kang because they both have fire. Doesn't fit. The only thing that they shared was the Ice Puddle in Armageddon which is something Frost didn't launch with.

She has her own arsenal and with her MMA history she obviously should use her powers, and freeze, opponents differently than Sub-Zero. Give Boon and the team credit, they can re-imagine her just fine if she's in like they did with Ermac and Kenshi in MK9.

It's denying her Cyromancer heritage if she isn't allowed to have a single freeze ability because Sub-Zero called dibs.

I'm fine with her being different however her Cyromancer Heritage shouldn't be denied because some are worried Sub-Zero may not have 9001+ Ice Moves because Frost has some of her own that he lacks.
 
Holy sh%t WHAT HAPPENED HERE??? I just went to sleep and everything blew the f^ck up!


Damn that actually does look like Frost. The only female with such outfit I know... is Frost. Holy crap. This might be happening.

Really hope Frost gets in as she has story potential and it would be funny to see the naysayers faces over Frost being in the base game.

Oh that would be funny really. There was one guy in different forum (MK Online or something similar) who kept on writing that he gives 120% guarantee that Frost won't make it and kep calling people shit for liking her. That would be fun.
 
No they arent, they were hers. It's like saying Kintaro is taking from Liu Kang because they both have fire. Doesn't fit.

Yes they are his. No matter how many times you're gonna argue this, those are his moves.

If another character with fans started using the fans as an air lift but was performed differently I would still say that is Kitana's ability because she appeared with the fan lift first.

If another character with a soul steal ability came and stole souls but was performed differently, I would still say that is Shang Tsung's ability because he appeared with the soul steal first.

Frost's slide originated from Sub-Zero's slide. Just because she goes underneath her opponents rather than stopping at the ankle doesn't mean that move is original. We've seen it once before, just not as much because it was only in Mythologies. But it still doesn't say that it's original, it's just a variation of a move that is already in the series.

Original would be her charging at someone with mist forming behind her and knocking her opponent down by means of either shoving them or, I don't know, pulling their arm and dragging them to the other side of the screen. Her sliding after the opponent and knocking them down is just a variation of a move we've already seen through another character.

Like do you understand or do I have to write this ten more times? I feel like I'm talking to someone who doesn't understand that I know the differences between the two characters, but because I want to see one of them act more original, it's like "oh no the sky is falling!"

The only thing that they shared was the Ice Puddle in Armageddon which is something Frost didn't launch with.

... I said this on the last page so I think I would know the only move in her own arsenal that is literally taken from Sub-Zero with no changes.


She has her own arsenal and with her MMA history she obviously should use her powers, and freeze, opponents differently than Sub-Zero. Give Boon and the team credit, they can re-imagine her just fine if she's in like they did with Ermac and Kenshi in MK9.

I will give credit where credit is due when I see them taking this character and making her completely different from Sub-Zero. I have no doubts they can do it since they've already proven with characters I've disliked in the past and working them to where I cannot wait to get my hands on them.

But until then, we don't know how Frost is. She might not even appear in X at all. When I finally do see her and see how she's played and such, I will give my two cents. Until then, I'll just continue sitting here and imagine what she could be like if she was to ever appear again.


It's denying her Cyromancer heritage if she isn't allowed to have a single freeze ability because Sub-Zero called dibs.

It's not "denying her heritage," it's "I want her to act more differently." I would like to see what other things ice wielders can do other than freezing people. Is that really too much to ask? According to the issues you're having with some suggestions I'm bringing up, it clearly shows that it is too much to ask.

Why should every ice wielder need to freeze? Why can't they use their abilities differently like the fire wielders? Why must they always cast the same thing but performed differently?

I'm fine with her being different however her Cyromancer Heritage shouldn't be denied because some are worried Sub-Zero may not have 9001+ Ice Moves because Frost has some of her own that he lacks.

You're saying this as if I'm clearly ignoring who she is. Like I asked before, is it really that big of an issue to see variety in the usage of ice? Because I don't want to see every single ice wielding character having an ability to freeze. They don't need to, even if it is to be performed differently. That doesn't show originality, it just shows repetitiveness through variations of that move. Sorry, I don't want to see Frost freeze people, even if it is performed differently from Sub-Zero.

Her ground freeze was cool and that, but I would rather have it have a different effect rather than completely freezing the opponent.
 
No, they're hers. You're acting like if it's an Ice ability than it must be Sub-Zero. Point is that like the Fire users the Ice users used their abilities differently.

You can write it as much as you want, it doesn't change my belief that she shouldn't be denied abilities because Sub-Zero is there. He can't have every ice ability in his moveset, it wouldn't fit and Frost has shown that she uses ice stuff differently since she first appeared in Deadly Alliance.

So why are you acting like Frost stole everything from Sub-Zero as well?

If you have no doubts then why make posts full of doubt? They completely overhauled Kenshi and Ermac, neither is anything alike despite having the same powers and neither are "stealing" from the other either. Both were also highly original as well in MK9.

You really are by trying to put restrictions, that make no sense, because you want Sub-Zero to be the freeze guy and want her to be stuck with a slow effect. No reason she shouldn't be allowed to freeze in a different matter. Heck, give her short range freeze grabs or the such that Sub-Zero wouldn't have or even dream of having due to him having a completely different fighting style as he wouldn't randomly start doing MMA stuff. It doesn't fit his character or his training.

Because she canonically can freeze people, no reason to give her a retcon and "Nerf" her so Sub-Zero is a special snowflake.

You're assuming that she couldn't use freezing differently. You're denying creativity for sure by saying "She can't freeze because Sub-Zero freezes even though they both have the same Ice powers and heritage".
 
No, they're hers. You're acting like if it's an Ice ability than it must be Sub-Zero. Point is that like the Fire users the Ice users used their abilities differently.

No, they are not. And I am not acting like that. I am asking for variety.

And you can write as much as you want and it won't change my stance on this at all.

So why are you acting like Frost stole everything from Sub-Zero as well?

She never "stoled" moves. They're similar towards a move that we have seen before. That's not original, that's not something I want to continue seeing. I want to see Frost do something that we have never seen before but still use her abilities. That is all I am asking for, but unfortunately, it's too much to ask for, clearly.

If you have no doubts then why make posts full of doubt? They completely overhauled Kenshi and Ermac, neither is anything alike despite having the same powers and neither are "stealing" from the other either. Both were also highly original as well in MK9.

What doubts are you reading because all I've been saying is that I want to see variety and differences with her. Nothing that I have wrote said anything about me thinking that I feel like they won't give her any change and that all we're gonna see is the same old same old just be done differently.

I feel like you're either misunderstanding my point, you're skimming through my posts real fast, reading what you want to read, or just feel that because I said I would like to see Frost do something different with her abilities that it's like "oh how dare this person say that."

The moment I see Frost and I see what they do with her, I'll give my impressions. Until then, I'm not going to say anything about what I feel with the creators because I don't know how they'll treat her if she is even in this game at all.

You really are by trying to put restrictions, that make no sense, because you want Sub-Zero to be the freeze guy and want her to be stuck with a slow effect. No reason she shouldn't be allowed to freeze in a different matter. Heck, give her short range freeze grabs or the such that Sub-Zero wouldn't have or even dream of having due to him having a completely different fighting style as he wouldn't randomly start doing MMA stuff. It doesn't fit his character or his training.

I'm not putting restrictions, I just want to see other effects be used with ice since you can do more than just freezing people. I mean hell, with all these MMOs and such that have sorcerers wielding ice and such, they freeze AND slows characters down. So if other games can show other effects from ice, why can't two ice characters do the same?

Because she canonically can freeze people, no reason to give her a retcon and "Nerf" her so Sub-Zero is a special snowflake.

I love how you think I want Sub-Zero to be the special one and Frost shouldn't. I love how I can't sit here and ask for variety between two ice characters. You're clearly the reason why I love debating this character to the death because it's users like you who sit here and want her to have everything that many just didn't care for.

I love this character, but I wasn't too happy with her abilities because they were from Sub-Zero's. I wanted to see something different with her and instead we got a variation of his moves with her. Just because those are "her" moves because they are somewhat different than Sub-Zero's, it doesn't mean those are her moves and her moves only. If Sub-Zero had never performed them before, then I would agree that they are. But we've seen this character use these moves before her, so they are not hers.

You can deny all you want, you are not going to change my mind on this. So I think it's best to just agree to disagree.

You're assuming that she couldn't use freezing differently. You're denying creativity for sure by saying "She can't freeze because Sub-Zero freezes even though they both have the same Ice powers and heritage".

How am I denying creativity when I have sat here and argued with you and gave you suggestions as to what other stuff she can use in her arsenal?

Snow, mist, water, glaciers... stuff that Sub-Zero doesn't have. Are you seriously saying all that stuff can't be used and that she HAS to freeze people? I feel like you're the one that is denying creativity and originality because she shouldn't have that. Hell, you even said that you don't want to see her using snow. Why shouldn't she? What's the harm in her using snow? She can use a snowball to throw at her opponents to stun them either by confusing them (such as "What did you just hit me with?") or she whips it at the head so fast. You would rather see her freeze than having her use some other ice ability?

That's um... real creative -_-
 
Yes they are. Frost and Sub-Zero never played the same or used the abilities in the same way beyond that puddle when they were together.

Blame the engine, Ermac and Kenshi had issues too until MK9 fixed things between them. Same would be for Frost and Sub-Zero.

Yet you don't want her to freeze at all, to me it's like you don't believe thaey can do freezing justice on her. They already proved that can do such things with Ermac and Kenshi.

It is a restriction if she can't freeze because of Sub-Zero.

That's exactly how it sounds with denying Frost any freezing whatsoever, no matter how it's implemented, which is wrong as it denies Frost from really showing a different and faster paced take on freezing and being a Cyromancer.

It is denying creativity by going "Freezing is off-limits, no matter what".
 
Their is so many things they can do with ice based powers. She could use her powers in a defensive way, make ice walls to block spiked floor etc. (i think Dragon age here but gives a thought on what can be done with ice from a different POV) She will always be compared to Subs due to ice powers, but she doesn't have to play as a water downed version of him. Someone said Subs is slow for a ninja, then make frost fast she is small and nimble.

That doesn't at all feel like she'd be weaker or anything, because it's a different use of ice and such. I just want her to do something completely different.

You're asking for them to include Supergirl, basically. Very similar costume to the original character (subz/supes), very similar moveset, her very existence makes Sub-Zero less interesting by diluting his identity.

Kenshi and Ermac look dramatically different. Half of their moves are completely different and based on different themes (swordsman vs soulmonster), while the half that are similar are even color coded differently (blue vs green). Are you willing to make Frost's ice red? Are you OK with making her float? Wear no ninja costume and change her name away from Frost to something more distinct from Sub-zero (Kenshi and Ermac surely don't sound thematically intetchangeable)? Because that's what it would take.

I completely agree with you here [MENTION=16500]Kitty_55[/MENTION]. I also would like for Frost to avoid using Sub Zero moves. Yes I know she performs in different style than Sub Zero, but the end result is still the same. I would rather like to see Frost making Ice Claws or some gauntlets, maybe even cover herself in ice, or hell use ice to create ice blocks from the ground which would throw opponent in the air or something like that. Hell Ice teleportation would be awesome. There is no need for freezing. Sub Zero has that. Ice can be used in other many different ways. And I would want Frost to explore those other methods which Sub Zero hasn't used, instead of just doing pretty much same moves, but just with female and different style.

I want Frost to lose the ability to freeze completely. Being a counterfeit Sub-Zero is her legacy, and the only way she can break that legacy is to lose her ability to freeze.

To freeze as in use ice power or as in freezing someone in one place?
 
Frost went beyond what I was waiting on the comic.

Always a character that I never got interested. Though I liked her approach on the comics.

Not sure about the results of that fight...I think she won't leave Cassie like that.
