I don't think it's lame. In MK I, you couldn't throw Goro. In MKII, you couldn't throw Kintaro. They're BIG. I think it would be lame if Reiko could toss Goro or Kintaro up in the air and soccer kick his ass to the ground. In fact, I still think it's pretty lame that MOB, Kintaro, and Goro have certain "Boss" or "Big Guy" mechanics while Shao Kahn and Motaro aren't treated as bosses in that respect for some reason.

It's part of the fun of the game. Now, getting competitive fights is a different story. In that case (unless decided by the two players prior), regs should fight regs, KAK fights KAK, Goro fights Kintaro, and MOB fights MOB.

Somebody picking or, really, counterpicking with a character with superior mechanics (usually MOB, but possibly Kintaro and Goro) is what's lame. But I think it was right to make the Boss characters have different mechanics.

Well, MKA isn't MK 1 man lol. In MK 1 Goro was also a sub boss that you couldn't play as, in MKA you can play as him so there's your difference.

I don't mind playing Goro or Kintaro nearly as much as MOB because they get Jarek and I drop all day long, they're slow as shit so believe me more times then not I'll connect and just spam the rope kick.

But throw wise, they can't be thrown so that kills any grab game you have instantly is what I'm saying, yet they can still throw you which is why in let's say tournament play I wouldn't allow that personally unless it was boss vs. boss.

Since it's exhibition online, who cares? I mean there are still some players out there to this day that even believe that KAK vs. regular =fair..=wrong lol

Nobody picks Kintaro anyway, he sucks...at least Goro has the ground pound and some interesting moves that can be useful.

So more or less I agree with you as far as the competitive gig as you even said above, there should rules to balance things out in that case.
