If Mileena were a real person, she would be the one I would perform a real-life fatality on the absolute most! She's an effin' SLUT!
Cunning twin assassin Mileena > slutty mind of a 4 year old Mileena
Mileena needs to be more ashamed that she's a freak.
I always give characters a chance, and I don't immediately have an opinion about them based on things like "copies" before I even give them a chance.
Raiden from Metal Gear is copying Grey Fox.
Yet I have uber respect for both characters because they are no where near the same person.
When it comes to Kuai Lang and him becoming a robot. It doesn't bother me because Kuai lang is not dead... I see him as a person. not as a blue ice ninja.
not saying you see things ONLY this way.
i'm just saying my mind easily bypasses that stuff as trivial importance to the development of the games story progression.
You got multiple people who are "Jedi's" but use the force in different ways no one gets upset that there are a bunch of "copy jedis" in star wars. because people easily see the "character"
Same as there are "cyromancers" to "Jedi's"
I see it the same way.
Cyber Zero wasn't mindless. He had that heartfelt conversation with Noob
.......AFTER he was reprogrammed.
Before that, YES, he was mindless.
that lasted about 1 (Maybe 2 fights?)
It makes sense for that direction for him to "temporarily" be mindless.
And they obviously agreed with you that keeping him mindless was a bad idea so they QUICKLY had him reprogrammed. I mean they didn't dwindle with that at all. He gained his conciousness back really quickly.
We're at a empass because I don't think his story was so poorly done.
Critical-Limit said:atleast your guy didn't become Quan Chi's little B-word.
Or killed off w/o any real development(Jade)
Or lacked a chapter (Sektor)
He had 2 chapters. I think they gave a shit about him. You just hate cyber so much, you see it as trashing him.
Just my assumptions.
Critical-Limit said:about the starwars thing.. what are you talking about??
I never said having 2 Kuai Langs is ok.
what I said was adding someone like Frost. into the mix is no different than introducing a new jedi. They aren't the same.
if you're talking about there being 2 kuai langs on the roster...? that's because MK9 covered so much story ground that it wouldn't make sense to exclude both version of kuai lang since he's RADICALLY different in half the story.
2 in the Roster does not equal story 2 of the same person in the story at the same time.
It's like there's 2 different Darth Vaders.
You got anikin skywalker and then when he becomes Vader.
2 so different that if they were in a fighting game they'd probably be their own characters (on the roster) but obviously there aren't 2 anikins in the storymode.
I don't understand your argument.
Then we can agree to disagree.
Scorpion has been Quan Chi's b**** since MK4.
He didn't become anything new in MK9.
I agree with you as far as Jade and Sektor go.
It would have been nice to have had more of them in story mode (as far as playability go), along with Baraka, Mileena and Reptile
As far as your assumptions go, they're wrong.
The only reason Cyber Sub-Zero had a chapter is because NRS could just let Cyber Sub-Zero disappear without explaining what happened, because then there would be a gap in the story.
That's the ONLY reason they added his story.
In all the trailers where Sub-Zero is fighting Scorpion, bookends (Kollerctor's Edition) and art, Sub-Zero is getting the shit end of the stick.
Not to mention that Scorpion is even the NRS logo.

Silly me.
Maybe NRS DOES like Sub-Zero.
I'm not talking about having 2 Sub-Zeros on the roster.
I was comparing your whole Jedi argument with Frost, Cyber Sub-Zero and Sub-Zero.
Even though they have cyromancer powers, much like the jedis have the same power as Darth Vader, they are no substitute for Human Sub-Zero and the jedis will never be a replacement for Darth Vader.
Simple as that.
except that Darth vader died, and someone has to become the bad guy?
The story continues in novels as far as I know.
No one is REPLACING darth vader. Just like Frost isn't replacing subzero.
You just think that's the case because if subzero is absent, and a character with similar powers comes in that you don't like. It looks like a replacement.
If another sith lord with the same darkside force powers as vader comes in, wearing all black but looked different. would you consider that... a replacement?
anytime you kill a top figure, and the story must continue, then obviously attention must be directed at somebody else.
Frost/subzero existed in the same game together.
She's never been a "replacement" she's only getting that title from you I think because this time in the storyline it appears kuai lang died as CSZ.
and she coincindentally(SP?) due for her reappearance soon.
I explained how I see more ice ninjas, they aren't clones to me, unless they have the same exact back story.
of course that'd be kind of dumb if half the roster was ice ninjas. but just a few I have no problems.
similar to, Mario and Doctor mario, being the same person with really similar moveset being in Smash bros melee, I'm cool with 2 or 3. but if half the cast were different version of mario. then obviously it's going a bit too far.
I also personally visually like seeing human subzero over cyber. But what's done is done. and I think it'd be more cheesey to bring him back as human after all that, than to just leave him a cyborg.
I hope Bi-han becomes human subzero for you lol.
so you can have enough enthusiasm to buy the next game at launch.
also those toys prove nothing. I don't think it's that they hate subzero.
I think it's just they love scorpion. and subzero just HAPPENS to be his rival.
If someone like Cyrax as his rival instead. Cyrax would be getting his ass kicked instead.
Frost wasn't only a clone by looks.
She had his ground freeze/ ice puddle, his freeze and his ground slide.
She cloned him in moves to which was the MOST upsetting.
The only original thing she had were her kori blades.
If a female or male figure came wearing Darth Vader's exact uniform with the same mask and same powers, I'm sure that Star Wars fans would be UBER pissed if it wasn't Anakin under the mask.
It isn't in just the toys.
It's all the videos that feature Sub-Zero and Scorpion that have Scorpion always getting the upper-hand.
I've also stated before that it's possible for Bi-Han to become Sub-Zero again (via the Soulnado), but people shat on that possibility too, so I dropped it.
It's not worth trying to discuss the possibility of him coming back human if people are just going to shit on it.
Why should I even bother? :mullet:
HEY!!!
What's wrong with sluts?
a woman that sleeps around alot.
doesn't bother me.
Again, I think it's just their love for scorpion, and not hate for subzero. Subzero just happens to be scorpions target, cuz they're rivals.
You're one of the few then.Critical-Limit said:I actually like your soulnado theory. I think that's the best way to appease everyone.
Critical-Limit said:yes she CLONED his previous SPECIAL moves. but in that specific game. They only shared 1 move. They split up subzero's old ice moves between him and her. But we're talking about a future game...
where it's actually possible to change the game mechanics... meaning this time she can be a 100% not a clone. and instead of hoping she's not an annoying character, that just has all of subzero's normals and specials. you just instantly don't like her before her -redo- on a 2-D plane.
Critical-Limit said:about the darth vader costume,
I agree, that'd be kind of lame.
but... Frost's costume doesn't look anything like subzero's outside of the V thing which alot of the ninja's shared. and that she wears blue...
Frost actually would've made more sense had she officially been billed in canon as the biological sister of Sub-Zero and Noob Saibot (the existence of such a sister has been confirmed on the long-defunct official MK Mythologies website), but that has been denied by John Vogel from the very start, which effectively made her a wasted copycat character.
