I always wondered which one is truly more brutally powerful. Well I was looking on the Mortal Kombat Wiki and I found that Kintaro actually is a beast in size compared to Motaro! We never seen the size difference in the MKs past or in the more recent. According to http://mortalkombat.wikia.com/wiki, Kintaro and Motaro are nearly the same height: Kintaro is 8'5 and Motaro is 8'6; respectively their weight is radically different. Kintaro is 2,600 lbs. and Motoro is 900 lbs. (Minotaur) and 1,200 (Centaurian). I'm thinking thats also including Motaro's metallilc tail.
Now a I always thought Kintaro was more challenging and menacing than Motaro anyway. Now with the specifics of their sizes, I favor Kintaro even moere and rather see his return. What do you guys think? Who would really be the victor in a battle?
 
Regardless of the size differences, I really hope Motaro makes the cut.
I really do favor Kintaro over him, but I'd hate to see him left out. Especially
if this is gonna feature most of the characters from mk3
 
I Shall disagree with these fools, JK. I think Motaro Could win, he for one can teleport, and he's got a tail, which can make up for reach, Teleport, Hind hick to the balls, Motaro wins, game over.
 
kintaro all the way. the weight difference is ridiculous. sure projectiles don't work against motaro and he teleports but, it would still be like brock lesnar vs kate moss. i'll bet my bologna sammich and pudding cup that kintaro would win. any takers?
 
Motaro would whoop butt! If Kintaro did his slow kick at Motaro he'd teleport. Thn slip him over wit hhis tail and shoot a laser at him when he is down. Then fly across the screen as he gets up, pick him up with 1 hand and punch him away. Then he taunt and then double kick his loser butt off the level. Motaro is cool and better. Oh and theguy who posted this said 900 ibs as a Minotaur! Centaru Motaro would pwn more anyways. Just my opinion!
 
Kintaro all the way! Something about those tiger stripes just make him so much more interesting.

I'd actually love to a see a modern look at Kintaro with new updated moves, etc.
 
I'd love to see both of them back, to be honest.
As long as he's 4-legged this time around, I wouldn't mind having Motaro back.

I also think it would be pretty AWESOME to have endurance matches, from MK 1, come back.
Maybe you could have an Endurance Match with BOTH Kintaro and Motaro, before fighting Shao Kahn. :-)

I think that would kill me. Kintaro on his own was enough grief. Well at least they should keep him at the difficulty he was originally at. Brutal combination though.
 
Motaro no doubt, just because Kintaro is bigger, faster, and stronger you guys assume he is better. For Shame.
 
Are you crazy?! Kintaro is a freaking titan compared to that man-horse. Kintaro would still be Shao Kahn's personal body guard if he hadn't loss to Liu Kang. Remember Motaro got wacked by Sheeva. Kintaro>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Sheeva! But you know they never completly let us know Sheeva's fighting potential. She was hand picked by Kahn for her savagery to protect Sindel, so she might have been a worthy opponent. If she is included I hope she is a bad ass!

Kintaro can teleport too, only at the end of his teleport, you get 2,600 lbs transforming the ennemy into a pancake. Kintaro hands down. He's the best sub-boss the franhise has offered. period.
Kintaro>Goro
Kintaro>Motaro

Kintaro, easily. When it comes to being baffled, frustrated and all out destroyed by a sub-boss, Kintaro really has no equal in the series. He's not even beatable until you can learn to exploit what's essentially a glitch in the game.

Motaro, on the other hand, can be pretty much hammered at will, especially in UMK3. His design is awesome, though. Honestly, I'd probably prefer a proper 3D incarnation of Motaro in the new game to one of Kintaro.
 
A proper 3D design for Kintaro could be cool too. I remember the snes days I used to loose 10 times more when facing Kintaro than when facing Shao Kahn

With the MK 9 fighting engine, I think it could work in a way where it wouldn't be impossible to beat, but rather a good challenge. :-)
