SPOILER ALERT:Mortal Kombat X DIGITAL COMIC DISCUSSION

Popularity has its privileges. THAT'S why Kung Lao and Kitana are back while Frost and Hsu Hao are not.

Side note. I think its also incredibly lame that characters like Kung Lao and Kitana can come back from the dead but when characters like Hsu Hao or possibly Frost die, they are gone for good.

Popularity speaks mate. If Frost or Hsu Hao were as popular as Kitana or Kung Lao you would see them kicking ass and being shown off on posters like other characters.
 
I guess that depends if the creators like her and think she's worth the effort. Idk do NRS team hate Frost?

Nah. The problem was that when Frost first appeared, a lot of people complained she was just a female sub zero (to certain extent they were right). Also they made Frost just to fill the roster. In short she was idea born in 5 minutes.
 
That is true, Its just a shame that frost didnt become popular. I mean shes been in every game since Deadly Alliance, shes had great character development and evolved so much as a character... oh wait...

Well... Mavado... he was a great character too I mean he had tons of appearances and...

umm... okay, Nitara...

Exactly piss poor writing and barely any effort was main reason why characters like Frost didn't become popular.
 
Great issue, as many have said, all the pieces to the puzzle that is the MKX story are slowly falling into place. I don't want to repeat what many have said already but I just want to point out one important thing:

If you do not like Kotal Kahn at this point, there is something extremely wrong with you.

That is all.

I really don't mind Hsu Hao being gone for good.
Nonetheless, i get your point.
 
Most of the fan base won't miss Hsu Hao ....then of course...you have the few that will miss him and are going to argue that he was a great characters with a great story despite creators not even liking the character


"I AM the flashing lights and special effects."

and it pisses me off that they arent even making an attempt to try to rectify the injustices done to the post MK3 characters. There is so much potential just going right out the window.

Boooo whoooo developers don't put characters in game because of popularity ..

"STFU UJUSTGOTCAGED they aren't going to add Kunglao just because he was popular and used in tournaments this game is about the next generation and you need to move on"


"I AM the flashing lights and special effects."
 
No, the majority of the fanbase gave Frost the finger, simple as that.

Jeez I wonder why did they give her a finger? Hmmm... Maybe because of "PISS POOR WRITING AND BARELY ANY EFFORT"?
 
I think it's not only popularity, but characters that can make a difference.

Of course if someone is popular, because of his/her appearance or powers, you can make a role for making difference (Ermac and Reptile IMO, no backstory at all, but they are awesome).

But there are characters that are popular because they make the difference. And I think that's the majority.

Frost didn't come up with a good approach, she never had anything to add. Hsu Hao too.
 
What NRS is doing is very smart. They aren't going with the shit tier characters that everybody hates, they're starting from scratch and leaving the losers behind. Potential or not, fans still have a bad taste in their mouths from the likes of Nitara, Kobra, Darrius etc. Easier for NRS to get fans to like characters that are fresh and don't have terrible pasts.
