Rate mkx's overall roster from 0-100

[theincubuslord]

I'm surprised by the relatively low scores.

I tried to be mathematical about it, hence my low score. I don't think anyone else is though. XD

70. The roster is incredibly bizarre. There seems to be a lack of villains and way too many members of the "Cage Family". You've also got a former boss character, a former sub boss, the (most-likely) unnecessary inclusion of Reptile, Kung Lao, Jax and Kitana. It's just weird. But not necessarily bad. I rate it this high for the inclusion of awesome new characters.

Exactly, the only returning ones that weren't playable in MK9 is Shinnok, Tanya and Tremor (well, he was in the PS Vita version, but...) 2 of them DLC for $30 Dollars =/

I agree with the idea that the klassics from MK1-2-3 have to be in the games, but in a 26 roster, 10 is enough... 14 is an unnecessary number.


And feel the same way about Jax. They not only put one of the most boring characters in the main roster, but had to put his freaking daughter too.

This is great!!!!
I don´t know how most of the forum supports Jax now when they were dying for Kung´s and Kitty´s inclusion at first, and then we barely had mk9 chars

I generally agree with this.

Over 9000.

Mileena has a spot on the roster.

I rate this roster a 60. Maybe 65. Tanya actually boost it pass 50.
I didn't like a majority of their roster choices. It would've been lower, but I saw that Johnny and Sonya's inclusion was alright. The return of the dead characters also harmed the roster for me. And I just dislike Kenshi. Quan Chi, Raiden (who I wish was replaced by Fujin), Fire and Ice, and the newbies were the only ones I saw to be the most important for the Roster, though I would've been ok with Mileena as well. (JC and Sonya were only important due to them fighting Shinnok in the begining, which could've been skipped).

 

[MK-TREMOR]

ROSTER REVIEW

PROS
- Loving the new characters (Kotal Kahn, D'Vorah, Cassie Cage, and Tekeda)

- Most my mains from MK9 are back

- Great job making most characters pretty diverse move set and variation wise.

- Tremor finally made it in a Mortal Kombat roster!

CONS
- NRS played it too safe by bringing back too many MK9 characters. My theory is they worried fans couldn't handle a super dramatic roster change which is why they gave into putting characters like Liu Kang in.

- Not much representation for MK4-MK:A characters (Havik, Hotaru, Li Mei, Fujin, Reiko etc.) Though adding Tanya as DLC helped but I was pretty convinced there would be more...

- I know having 3 variations for each character is a lot of work but still even I was expecting NRS to give us about 27 or 28 characters Pre-DLC.

- This is just a small gripe but where are the female characters? Counting DLC we still only have a handful.

VERDICT 85

 

[NathanCorsini]

Well... These are the characters i'm enjoying that are in the game. Doing the math, as [MENTION=18014]theincubuslord[/MENTION] did...

Kitana
Shinnok
Kotal Kahn
Ermac
Mileena
Sonya Blade
Erron Black
Kung Jin
D'Vorah
Sub-Zero
Jacqui
Tanya
Raiden

That would be 13 of 28.

46,4 / 100.

 

[Earth Kueike]

It's a hundred. Expecting to like every character is retarded. Abraham Lincoln said it centuries ago. The game is going to be fantastic.

 

[rocky]

all i was hoping for MKX was mileena, sindel and baraka,, a new take on nightwolf since his look in mk9 was hirendous but gameplay was excellent and his move set would work well with the variation system. and some interesting new females and some cool new tribe like warrior monsters like tartakans or new kind of cyber ninja. just some cool badass characters original and exiting. but nope didnt get any of that besides mileena.

so yeah i got 1 out of 29 (dunno what the percent is)

being completely honest this roster is terrible for me and so underwhelming. i really tried to force myself to try and find things about the new characters to like watching the breakdown videos over and over but nothing stuck. didnt like any of the new character designs or gameplay and most the characters they chose for returning are mostly the boring human good guy ones like jax ,johnny and sonya and liu kang.

Loses points for all the MK9 characters. Needed a couple more post MK3 characters and they lose points for Tremor. Tremor can f off forever

 

[rocky]

I don't really want to comment outside of just saying.

I feel like the roster was 100% chosen for story purposes. Like they made the story first, decided what characters would be good to move the story along.

And that decided what .

yep. what happened is they took the first new characters they showed us (ferratorr/dvorah/kotaland cassie and built the story from there also building the roster from there. so out of those new characters cassie was obviously the main protagonist,

then they thought well if cassies in then we need johnny and if johnnys in we need sonya and if sonyas in we need jax and if jax is in then we need his daughter too...and it all snowballed from there and it started raining boring unwanted human characters all over outworld.

meanwhile one of the devs was reading an old gaming mag and came across an advert for Rockstar Games's Red dead redemption and then quickly closed the magazine before anyone could see and was all like hey guys i have a new idea for a character

 

[Mike Wall]

Id give it a 75.

My main Sub Zero is looking badass so thats a plus. I wish theyd make a new Lin Kuei cryo character - like a big heavy freeze ninja- grappler - how badass wud that be? Wud be great to see a redesign of Frost also.

I too am not happy with all the family members - Jaqui - ect. I thought when they showed Cassie that Ma and Pa would be left out. Although Cage is looking pretty cool - besides me never being a fan of his previously.

I really hope Fujin, Smoke, Noob and Rain are playable somehow. I agree with a lot of the posts on here that there are way too many human characters and not enough freaks - villians.

New characters look great so far mostly. Kotal, Torr, Erron Black, Jin and Takeda all look awesome (in that order ). Jaqui- lame.

So 75 atm - with dlc 80. And man Im so HYPE for this game!

Am I the only one who thinks there is at least two more characters on disc? Think when was the last time a MK game didnt have hidden -unlockable characters?

 

[ironRod]

This was tough to score but the pros outweighted the cons so i give it a 90.

There are key classic fighters that won't be in the game but we are getting new intresting fighters. My girl Skarlet i thought was gonna make the cut but we are getting 2 Brand new awesome Heavy hitters (Torr,Tremor) to offset the roster, that hasn't happened in MK and it needed that.
Another reason why i rated this high iBecause the guest are favorite icons of mines that i know will blend in well with this game. It is a strange mix but i love it.

 

[s0mnum]

Well... my rate is 80.
Roster is pretty cool. If Fujin and Havik were there I'd definetly go for 100.

 

[Temptress]

I'd probably give the roster a score of 90; it's pretty much perfect, in my opinion. I'd give the roster a score of 100 if Sindel was included as a playable character.

 

[GloriousDK]

All things considered, I'd say that the roster is in the mid 90s if it was in a vacuum. But it's not, so my contention is with a few choices. I love what they've done with returning characters but I'm not hot about dead characters returning so soon. Don't get me wrong. I LOVE the roster. Every character looks amazing and there's more than just 3 or 4 that I'm actually interested in playing. There's AT LEAST a good 10 characters in the roster that I actually want to play like I want to play Scorpion and that has NEVER happened in MK before for me. Never. I just don't like some of the choices they've made for the game. If it weren't for necromancy, the roster would look vastly different. I love all the characters almost, even the necro'd characters. But from a story perspective, it just gets to me. I can't even say that I'd rather it be that way, but here we are.

I count... 2 people maybe supporting the return of Jax and the inclusion of his daughter not including me. So that makes like... 3 people.

 

[Cyberote]

I think theincubuslord has a good thing going here. Let me give it a shot.

Erron Black
Kotal Kahn
D'vorra
Mileena
Sub Zero
Reptile
Ermac
Quan Chi
Shinnok
Kano
Takeda (to some extent)

11/23 = 47%

 

[Cryo]

I'll give it a 95 because Tremor a MK spinoff character doesn't belong in this game. The younger and older fans got a lot of kharacters they wanted. This game will kick arse until the next installment and with more DLC to come I'm set. I guess a lot of guys got their arse whooped by Mr. Lao so they're butt hurt heeeeeeeee's baaaaaack.

Kung Lao forever!

How do Predator and Jason belong more to MK than Tremor? He's a real MK character.
