Social Ultimate Social Thread: Under Construction. Be Back Soon!

[Will]

Spawn and Ash Williams are the only ones people seem to universally be fine with. Anything else gets a mixed reception at best, because people would rather see their favorite MK characters that get left off the roster for reasons that we'll never know.

Man if only they did like... a Smash Ultimate for Mortal Ko-

God dammit.

Hold on, isn't weed not good on this forum? 'cuz I remember getting a warning once for posting a gif with weed on it a long time ago.

Just report it, man.

Welp.

Take me away, mods!

 

[Deleted member]

tbf there's more than Mileena mains being unhappy with their mains being cut

Spoiler

Sektor and Cyrax are in the story but not playable like Rain was in MKX

Spoiler

If they're not fightable it's slightly better. Really had me miffed that they gave Rain a moveset and model but didn't make him playable.

 

[Metal Shop X]

Can't you like, remove the weed image before the mods notice?

 

[Cutie Gwen]

You and I disagree on this fundamentally. I LOVE guest characters. I love crossovers. I love seeing worlds collide.

While it's almost always fun seeing this stuff, Staindgrey's issue is how it's at the cost of franchise staples. Plus he's already calling himself a pissbaby meaning his issue is really losing old MK characters.

Nah you fight them, mind you this is also after they said there would be no NPC fighters in the story mode.

Show me a doctor's note. Because almost no one is responding to those type of sad-bart-edit posts anymore.

Not when it isnt the forum fav user, you mean

Well I like you so I hope it’s not.

That's the spirit!

You realized they just ported over his moveset and animations directly from 9. They did like, no work on him.

Spoiler

And yes, you fight Sektor

Welcome to the club brother.

Soon we are probably going to get a new member in here, so be ready.

EDIT: Or maybe not lol, good job Taylor F.

You realized they just ported over his moveset and animations. They did like, no work on him. He was no where close to being a fully fledged character.

Characters like Mileena and Ermac are in EVERY game though. I'm fine with missing them so the roster can be more unique from installment to installment.

Brilliant idea.

I have been spared.

I don’t feel like a criminal at all.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Anyway looking at the guest fighters, I really like the lineup as I felt "How do you beat Jason, Xenomorph and the Predator?" Turns out the answer is easily answerable even if I'm unfamiliar with the Zombie movie rep and I'm not happy with the comic villain character

It's probably just the Sektor part of Triborg copy pasted, but god ****ing damnit Netherrealm.

You been spared for today, but be careful, the mods are always watching...

One day, they get you before you even saw it coming.

 

[Gentlepanda]

love em or hate em, random-ass guest characters that make no sense are the norm for fighting games these days

joker in smash, geralt in SC7, TMNT in injustice, ****ing negan in tekken - the bigger the stir it creates the better

Spoiler: Mortal Kombat

I'm surprised no one is flipping their **** over Terminator.

Oh, they already have.

No infraction points, though.

If I got anninfraction point, then I’d really feel like a criminal.

 

[ColietheGoalie]

This whole “Why are there less and less Mortal Combat characters in MORTAL COMBAT?” thing is oddly reminiscent of Smash fans who aren’t happy with more and more third parties.

 

[Deleted member]

Cutting Mileena is basically the equivalent of cutting Zelda. People love her and it just doesn't feel like MK without her. Same goes for Ermac and Reptile. These aren't throwaway characters, they're staple characters that have been with the series since the start.

Spoiler: Mortal Kombat

Spoiler: More Mortal Kombat

I’m sorry what. Ok, 3rd parties in Smash? Sure. Terminator in MK? i do beg your pardon

The problem is that MK has like, twice the amount of characters like that as every other fighting game. To the point that, with NRS's smaller roster sizes, they take up HALF of it. And frankly, I want more of the roster to be distinct from game to game than half of it.

The difference is Mortal Kombat isn't a crossover game, it's its own defined universe with fan beloved characters, many of which people probably don't care for being replaced with one-shot crossover guest characters.

Have none of you guys seen the list?

He's in there.

I get that but when those characters are in every other game, their absence is that much more noticeable. It's something that's naturally going to have a mixed reception regardless

Makes me wonder who started that trend? I know Tekken had Gon in Tekken 3, and Soul Caliber just loves having guest fighters, but they truly didn't become 100% mainstream until Brawl, and yet, Brawl wasn't the first to do it.

That still would take more time than you say. They still need to give him a new in fight model and design, give him new voiceclips, give brand new models to the water attacks, rig his animation with the new model, and bug test his moves against Kotal's. Less, but still quite a bit of effort for an NPC.

aight so idk **** about mk but

cutting franchise staples for guest characters seems like it'll alienate core fans just a bit

i mean imagine if smash six cuts falco for like

steve

would make casuals happy but would probably piss off a bunch of core fans with how iconic falco has become in the smash community

 

[Deleted member]

To be honesn’t, I don’t give a single crap about Mortal Kombat, but

Spoiler: Mortal Kombat Spoilers

Terminator

is in? Now I’m interested. xD

joker in smash

thats not random at all

now was hella random at the time

But imagine if Smash 6 didn't cut anyone and just gave us 1 new character.

Anyway I'm just reminded once again that I need to see more Sam Reimi movies

It can alienate core fans, but it also draws in an audience to play the game, especially if they're paid DLC. Risk-Reward.

REGGIE kicks ass, takes names, and makes games

Then it'd just be Smash Ultimate 2.

Spoiler: MK11 Story Lite-Spoilers

Most disappointing **** for the sotry mode is that there is zero explanation for any missing character that is not dead. Zero idea of what happened to Ermac, Takeda, Kung Jin, Tanya, Ferra/Tor and so on. Plus ravenants like Smoke or Sindel don't make any appearance whatsoever.

Spoiler: Mortal Kombat

I'm surprised no one is flipping their **** over Terminator.

Spoiler: Mortal Kombat

People will flip out depending of the character.

It's probably just the Sektor part of Triborg copy pasted, but god ****ing damnit Netherrealm.

Spoiler: Spoiler regarding Story mode NPCs in MK

Pretty much is copypaste of Triborg for both Cyborgs

 

[Tree Gelbman]

This whole “Why are there less and less Mortal Combat characters in MORTAL COMBAT?” thing is oddly reminiscent of Smash fans who aren’t happy with more and more third parties.

I think there's a huge difference in guest characters in what is essentially a video game crossover...

And guest characters in a franchise with a massive cast of original characters that is known for said original characters.

But go off I guess?
