Which Characters are Waste of Slots?

You guys are going in circles:

"Sonya's moves could have been given to Cassie"
"Ermac's moves could have been given to Kenshi"
"Kenshi and Ermac play nothing alike"
"Cassie and Sonya play nothing alike"
"I never said they did. Sonya's moves could have been give to Cassie"

Did i ever say it was? most people would agree that shes boring. Also maybe this is not the thread for you if you cant handle opinions. I am giving reasons why I THINK this character is a waste.

Also lmao i knew Kenshi would be brought up. Kenshi did not really need TK anymore they could just have his attacks be the spirits.

wouldn't say most. She was top 10 most used in mk9, is one of the most iconic characters in the series and was used alot in tournaments. Lots of people love her.
 
Forget all of the brand new characters & descendants.

Give me Fujin, Reiko, Havik, Sareena, Drahmin, Hotaru, Mavado, a decent Tanya (not this bullsh** Tanya we've seen so far), Ashrah, Li Mei & Nitara.
 
I'm not sure if I can officially call him a "Waste" but if you are not gonna have Reptile do anything in story mode, why is he in the game exactly?
 
I'm not a fan of having the parents and their kids. While the moves are different; it's not as different cause they do seem to have some similarities in the styles.

Was hoping for a few more monstrous style chars like Goro.
 
Mulling this over all day: how do you define this? Ermac, my number 1, is a waste of the slot because he has almost no role in the story. But would i rather play as Ermac or Rain? Ermac or Li Mei. Ermac, every time, I like Rain though.

But when you look at story mode, Jacqui is useless, and plays no real role. To a slightly lesser extent, same Kung Jin, same Takeda. HOWEVER, cut Jax, and maybe jacqui feels more welcome. Cut Kung Lao and maybe Jin feels more welcome etc. Etc. My gut tells me its the children that are a waste of space, minus Cassie. Theyre the ones who have something to prove to the player base, theyre the ones with the new designs. If they had heen more interesting or implimented in the story in a more interesting way they would be more welcome. Kung Jin and Jacqui fail all the tests: story relevance, popularity, exciting gameplay.

Ferra/Torr is a character with no story relevance, but a neat character design, and some people who like them. Not a waste. Same Erron Black, Reptile, Ermac. Not a waste.

Kano feels like a waste. I dont see why they used him over anyone else. I guess he has his fans. I think he's all around boring.

Who would i like to see instead is the natural question? New characters with more inspired designs. Rain, Noob, Cyber Ninjas, Reiko, Fujin. So many under utilized faces.
 
I hope Boon finally comes out and says " You know what, screw the 3D MK series, it was just some big ass mistake on our part, money was low and we rushed it". My opinion is the 3D characters we have are the ones that made the cut and were well received by fans and those left out, well you know, off to the trash can with them. I'm not keeping up with the spoilers but from what I saw of Rain in the comic, he did nothing but stay out in the sun too long and kicked Kotal off a building and to some, they think he deserves to be in the game over so and so?
The online players have spoken, this forum is not the voice of all of the people who play this game. You say entitlement, I say whiners. We may or may not get more DLC, frankly I don't care either way. I'm buying this game because I'm a fan of MK not because of KL, Scorp and the rest that I like. I don't like Tanya because I don't like the 3D characters and I hate Tremor because I think he's a waste of space and should not be in this game. See what I did there? Even though I don't care for them I'll give them a try and maybe, just maybe I'll like both of them.
 
let uncle Rocky settle this.

Cassie> is missing that one good unique playstyle/variation that makes her uniqie and memorable gameplay wise.

Sonya> has one good unique playstyle/variation (rope parry) and the rest are rubbish.

simple solution> give that rope variation to cassie as her main playstyle and ditch sonya compltley.


Cassie - even though its been stated she has her own play style while borrowing a few moves from her parents.
, ive yet to see her own style really shine through. gameplay wise she dosent really have that unique iconic thing that makes her stand out, look up any footage and youll see her doing shadow moves like johnny punching nuts like johnny or shooting guns like stryker.
wheres her own style?
only her attitude makes her stand out not so much her own playstyle

this is why i think Sonyas parry rope variation should of been Cassies main thing. its an iconic playstyle that stands out and its a playstyle that is humiliating to the opponent which would suit cassies personality perfectly.
giving cassie this rope move would of given her a unique style thats suits the character. however just the rope moves alone although cool are not enough and pretty hard to land so then add her shadow moves and gun projectiles and nut punches from her parents and boom you got a badass unique character thats good allround wothout being OP.

had they done this there would be no need for sonya

thus sonya is indeed a wasted slot

When DA came out i remember being stunned at how fresh and fun it felt. Deception made it even better, and is still the only MK game with an emphasis on the series more obscure fan favorites. Armaggeddon accomplished tue stunning feat of including absolutely every chara ter from the series ever. 65 playable characters, still one of the largests casts in fighting game history, with no fan left behind.

The 3D games were great, the only issue was that they had probkems inventing characters that people could latch on to. With maybe ten of the thirty some post trilogy characters being any good. Armageddon had kreate a fatality which was a disaster. Other than that i think theyre better than the trilogy games, which we look upon with our rosey red nostalgia glasses.

Those games were clever. Dont hate them, hate the characters from them.
 
It's always the same. Whenever someone opens a thread over who is the waste of slot people come in here to bash either the new characters, Sonya, Johnny or Jax and say that they would rather have cyrax or sektor... Get over it!! If you hate them so much just don't pick them y'all have 20+ more characters to choose from! I personally think this roster and game is one of the best ever in the MK franchise and I don't have a bad thing to say about it

BTW I'm not trying to be rude and I hope nobody gets offended by this comment!
 
Many of the characters are rubbish-looking -- it's why they're forced on the player in story mode (in case you didn't know).

But whichever character cost Shao Kahn his spot is the 'waste' / cancer.

I kinda hope they DO get offended. I'll go on record and say it: F Rain, F Cyrax, F Sektor, F Sindel, F Smoke, F Noob, and you know what? THANK GOD NRS didn't just release a polished up Mortal Kombat 4. If you want classic stuff, go play MK9. If that's such a terrible thing, then wait til MK11.
 
really sad to see some people kiss nrs ass so lively. the fighting system is hands down the best imo. not cartoony like marvel games, not weird like KI, not also cartoony like SF. the visuals are awesome. I love this series since being a kid. the fact remains, when it comes to characters and stages and the general legacy of secrets we were offered less. quality over quantity is a BS excuse, they are with WB now, this isn't midway anymore and MK:A comparisons are just plain irrelevant. they could offer more and they chose not to but instead milk the DLC again. even if some of you are fans of the characters that most wanted out, try to also think as a customer and stop kissing NRS ass cause next time we'll be getting a roster of twelve fighters and three stages

That's not how it works... At all.

oh really? because what happened here was, a lot of lies and manipulation in their interviews and we ended up with a less roster count than MK9. the dlc was out so fast only to do some damage control for the 'bland roster' many complained about. this WILL get worse if some keep kissing NRS ass, although I still believe WB might have a lot to do with this crap rather than nrs themselves. but still. less content and DLC tactics are not correct. I think Injustice 2 AND its DLC will be a good indicator of if they learned anything after what they did this time around
