I agree, I wouldn't but too much stake into it. It's just Boon being Boon, and anyone familiar with him knows he likes to send the fans down wild rabbit holes that sometimes lead to nothing.That's just a typical day to anyone who follows Ed's Twitter
I would love for him to have this as a "hidden" taunt where the player would input a similar controller input string that triggers Fatality/Friendship/ETC in MK games to do this. This way then his normal taunts can preserve his tough/intimidating appearance but still include the classic MK silliness and a nod to the sometimes ridiculous controller inputs used to perform special actions.
A bit off topic, but I love your user name. It brings me back to the early days of Smash 64 when an old friend used to exclusively pick Pink Luigi because in his words "real men wear pink." That just brought a smile to my face.
Even voiced by the movie portrayer, and like how the krypt takes place at his island and he acts as the tour guide. Making a legacy character like Shang Tsung DLC is equally uncool though. If Mileena and Shinnok who were initially leaked with Shang also turn out to be DLC, that’s gonna be quite a bit of backlash when they were just in the last game.
I love the throwbacks as well, though I have to agree that regulating him to DLC is a bit disappointing. Then again, he was absent from the previous game so having him back in any capacity is appreciated.
That's adorable. I see the artist did Pikas for other electrical, or Ryan Reynolds, characters.
Bayonetta got away with bleeding without getting hit by censorship due to it being displayed as roses, just like in her games.
Is this based on thought or the ratings from ESRB?
Mostly thought.
Personally, I find it more odd that sexuality would have less of a problem in a video game, than violence.
I think this stems from that general violence can be more used as a story telling device to either be (in the case of a war for example) or resolve a conflict whereas sexuality, not romance/love/character relationship, tends to be more gratuitous or fluff and doesn't really drive a story. At least, that's how I see how violence can get more of a pass.
Not to derail this conversation- but I am honestly shocked to read this.
Fair enough, I didn't consider that. But since you mention it, I do stand corrected as it can be used to set up a character's personality/thought process.
There's also different rating systems in different regions, and maybe some are more strict, so it's a safe move to not include blood.
Very true also. We know at least Japan is more strict when it comes to violence.
As
The Stoopid Unikorn
already said, the spear would be blockable like Isabelle's fishing rod, which I believe is true to the source material as, at least in the old arcades, it could be blocked.
In addition, if whiffed, Scorpion would have a lot of lag, making it a high risk, high reward move. If you land the spear, you can do whatever. If you miss, they can capitalize on it.As
The way I see it working would be that it would have a range between a Hookshot grab and Isabelle's fishing rod and would grab an unblocking character if it connects anywhere in that range. If the move miss/extends past the grabbing range, it become a mild projectile with small damage and flinching (it can be reflected/pocketed at any range and loses the grab property after doing so). It'd be a fairly slow attack to perform, roughly the rate of a Hadouken, but travels fairly quickly. When grabbed, the opponent will be brought over to Scorpion with a brief amount stun, that is scaled around how much damage the target has, which amounts to about as much as a buried opponent would get. This would allow Scorpion to perform a quick action of his choosing (the Spear's fire rate would be too slow to repetitively use) much like it has behaved historically.
I think that would keep it unique, true to its source material and not broken.
That sounds perfect to me. I especially like the air-throw part, it seems like something that hasn't been done yet.
Very interesting point, and I feel culturally insensitive to not look up how important ratings boards are elsewhere in the world. Research may commence!
Unless they just give him an up B like Ivysaur's, which would be cool, actually.
I can see what you mean but I picture Scorpion staying in place during the throw whereas Bowser travels with his target. Either way, it'd be a fun move to do anyway.
Unless they just give him an up B like Ivysaur's, which would be cool, actually.
And even then both being tethers is possible because of the different angle.
It's all good, the results could give us a good idea of how they tackle this game. Good luck with your investigation.
Which is why I kinda see it as a side special that works more like the actual games.
I like the idea, it would give him a completely new way to approach as well as get out of trouble. My biggest worry would be handling stage elements and such. Would this move be completely ineffective if the opponent had his/her back against a wall?
In regards to such a case scenario, I'll just do the same thing as always; wait until there's a re-release that compiles all the DLC before committing to MK11.
Why would it when it works perfectly fine on the "walls" in his game?
I guess my concern is what they'd have to do to keep him from clipping and getting stuck of falling out of bounds. I know they have the ability to make it not happen, but I am just curious as to what kind of method could be used to prevent such from happening.
By the end of the punch, no matter the situation (wall or not), he could be at the exact spot his opponent was, and the moment he warps to do the punch could have him be intangible until the move's endlag, thus preventing clipping as much as possible (latter being to prevent clipping by being hit).
