Re: So our starting roster is full?

Am I the only one who feels that if Shao Kahn is playable, Goro should be, too? I'd prefer neither of them to be playable, but why not go all-or-nothing with it?
 
Re: Mortal Kombat Roster Revealed

Sheeva really was never a major character. They never really seemed like they had any intention of developing her, so leaving her out of the game probably wouldn't be a big deal. However, Smoke i'm on the fence with. After Reptile, he's the most notable secret character in the MK series. I'd love to see him peeking his head out from behind the trees in the Living Forest. If he went secret character on us again, I'd be fine with that. Sheeva though? Take her or leave her. If she's gone it's not that big of a deal.

Actually, now that I think about it, hasn't she been hinted at or revealed already?
 
Re: Mortal Kombat Roster Revealed

Since Lupinko is right about Kano licking his blade and said that Sheeva is in the game, then I think that it is pointless to talk about Sheeva possibly not being in the game.
 
Re: Mortal Kombat Roster Revealed

I don't see the point of having smoke in the game, In the story mode sure, but to me all he is, is a churched up gray scorpion. And I think that if they made him how he is in MK3 he would be too much like scorpion in that game, which we don't need any clone characters in the game, but if they changed his moves around all of the fan boys will be upset. So leaving him out of game play and putting him in the story would be a good decision in my eyes.
 
Re: Mortal Kombat Roster Revealed

Who is this Lupinko person and why is it when I google him I only get results saying he's been wrong about stuff a lot?
 
Re: Mortal Kombat Roster Revealed

I don't believe Goro or Shao Khan will be playable from the get go, playable bosses is a post MKu3 thing. With those two out (which they should and better be) that gives you two slots for Sheeva and Smoke.
Problem solved.

he leaked 6 characters for marvel vs capcom 3, which were all true, so he become the internet got of leakage pretty much. He could say one of the characters is Steven Hawkings and people will believe, just because he said it. *cough* savage *cough*

But he hasn't seemed to be wrong so, only time will tell.
 
Re: Mortal Kombat Roster Revealed

Well one of the results I got was him being wrong.
And it was over MvC3 actually.
I'm just lookin for proof that I should believe a word he says.
Not that it matters. My 3 characters are already in game so I'm happy.
I just wanna know what the roster will look like so I can start getting into other characters.

Quan Chi was never one of my favorites.
But I'm biased a bit. Haha.
Scorpion is my favorite and Quan Chi screwed him over so I naturally don't like him.
(I get very involved with characters in video games... )
 
Re: Mortal Kombat Roster Revealed

I understand, I honestly hate the sub-zero blood line and never pick him to play as because I think he is a deuce bag, cuz scorpion is my favorite as well. You've got to pick one over the other :P

Dude I'm the same way! That's the same exact reason I've always disliked Quan Chi, I thought I was the only one haha.

I thought the same thing! Haha. Do you also dislike Sub-Zero for the same reason? :O

I think its lame how Sub gets to be the good guy after he killed scorpion and his family, the **** is up with that?
 
Re: So our starting roster is full?

as for unplayable sub-bosses if you are going to have Goro and Kintaro then I think Motaro will be in as non-playable also I mean what is the point to leave him out?

The game is a fan service so I think that would strongly suggest the 3 sub-boss + Shao-kahn final boss unlockable depending who you play as in story mode you meet different sub-bosses

"atleast 2 extra characters who will be unplayable"

I know the truth now this game will include everything from MK1-MK3 excluding the warrior shrine which is now shang tsungs garden and will have some new stuff too

Shao Kahn will be playable unlockable i will bet my lifes earnings on it, in the very first trailer you saw him in gameplay and he was on the right side of the screen and now he has a fatality, why waste a fatality on someone noone will use, i know you could say the computer could do it but in past mk games, the computer does a fatality once in a blue moon and otherwise just uppercuts you, believe me when i say shao kahn is playable.
 
Re: So our starting roster is full?

Okay according to that new german magazine preview, the number of characters is a solid 26. If Shao Kahn is not part of the main roster and is unlockable (better yet, unplayable), then Sheeva or Rain are left. Sheeva I am assuming would be put in over rain, we shall see.
I really do not think Shao Kahn will be playable. I have a simple logic to why I don't think Kahn will be playable, at least inititially. Since this game is supposed to make a grand statement for the rebirth of MK, Kahn must remain a major obstacle. Making him playable will take away his ultimate boss feel. I think that he will definately be the one player that is un-playable. I would rather Goro and Shang also be unplayable but, I am willing to accept Shang Tsung being playable since he was playable since MK2. Shao Kahn and Goro on the other hand were playable way later in the series. It made Kahn that much more special that he wasn't playable.
Lets hope Sheeva is in. I'd pick Sheeva over Rain any day. Please leave Rain to DLC if he must be in NRS.
 
Re: So our starting roster is full?

I think there would be a logical reasoning for Goro, Kintaro and Tsung to be playable.
They are all just underbosses. Not the most powerful, but not weak.
I think they may leave Kahn as a boss and make those 3 unlockables.
