i mentioned this in the mokap thread but decided it needed its own topic.

as we all should know, Mokap is based on the motion capture artist carlos pesina(sp?).

i love the fact that the mk team were cool enough to honor the man's work by making a character like him, a very kick ass character.

now to the point of this thread. should MK6 have a bonus character that is based on another member of the Mk team? they can design the character to look like..well lets say ed boon. his storyline wont be related to the game. it can be something like this.

"rogue game developer enter the mortal kombat to study the fighters in hopes of creating a MK video game. Ed Boon is a strong fighter and very fast.

also, if they were to do my idea, who would u want to play as?

Ed Boon and Richard Divizio come to my mind. Maybe even Dan Forden? Can't you just picture him yelling "Toasty!" when doing his own fatality?

There have been MK team members in some of Ed's games

In "The Grid" you can put in a code to be Paulo Garcia, Brian Le Baron, or Eddie Ferrier.

Not to mention Noob, Sub Zero , etc.

Those guys have done a ton of stuff to make MK what it is today.

Paulo and Brian are the Asst. Producers of MK and Eddir Ferrier is a balance tester that has tested every version of MK since MK2.

Paulo and I are old friends, we used to hang out in the arcades playing MK switching up on fools. We would sit in the arcade for 12-15 hours a day and we wouldn't spend more than a dollar because nobody could take us off.

LOL those were the fuckin days man...I miss them alot.

my goal is to bring that experience back somehow. Back in the day MK was very much a lifestyle for me and I'm glad that it opened up doors toward my career.

ah, so this isn't a relatively unheard of idea.

so there is hope of goodies like this appearing in future MK games?

I just think it wouldn't be good if they made a character based on the MK team. Mokap was a stupid secret character. He wasn't original. And if they put in creaters of the game, but with a different name and look, it would ruin it in my opinion.

ya see, thats the problem, i dont see how mokap was lame

he was a great fighter, had great styles, great special moves.

how wasn't he original? he was a tribute to the motion capture artist, no one else is like him.

its not like their storylines are gonna affect the video game's storyline.

When it comes to fighting styles. He had fighting styles of all the other people, no fatality, and no weapon. Then he had pretty much the same moves as Blaze. I mean, would you rather someone like Mokap be the secret character, or Smoke or Kabal or Baraka?

someone like mokap, cause if it was kabal or baraka, they;d have the same moves as mokap and it just wouldn't work

and so what if he styles were used by other characters, its the fact that he had 3 different ones that worked well together, plus he is very fast.

but this isn't about mokap, this is about making future bonus characters that are based on MK team members

You misunderstood me. Instead of putting some shitty character like Mokap in, they could put Baraka or Kabal in WITH Fatalities, WITH there own fight styles, and WITH there own moves. And if you want someone like Mokap instead of Baraka then you are just a fucking idiot, but you already are a fucking idiot for wanting it, and not to mention I already hate you from another gaming board.

no, u seem to be the one confused

they couldn't have given baraka or kabal or whoever fatalities because they couldn't give them to blaze and mokap.

its about time. they didn't have time to program them for blaze and mokap, so they wouldn't have time for anyone else.

and why do u hate me? who the hell are u? better yet, forget that, i dont care. put ur hatred aside and think logically

Did any of you know that the facial features of some of MK4's fighters were based on those of the designers? I don't remember who they all are, but I remember that they used Steve Beran's face for Shinnok.

I remember Brain, wasn't he one of the guys with you at the EB tourney, Ray? I played him a few matches afterwards, he was ok, but no match for me, hahaha! just kidding, B.

I'm actually amazed they came out the way they did considering what I've learned about Mokap (& blaze while we're at it). They were litteraly added into the game WEEKS before it shipped out for physical production. These characters were not tested much, if at all.

I think for slapping 3 styles together, a couple specials (not to mention the coolest one, the d-f RUSH!) they came out pretty damn cool IMO!

Here's an idea... If Mokap does return, something that may make him feel more like the "Mokap man" his ending refers to him as, would be to allow the player to choose what styles he fights with. (and specials?)

This would make sense for his character and could very well make him that "ultimate secret character" people are looking for.

um... Sub-zero was created after a team member? Let's see, I know Liu Kang is Josh Tsui (sp?), noob is Ed and John... are there other chacter/developer creations we're not aware of?

I agree with him, well up to that point anyways lol

I think it is great they put ppl in there to give them some recognition, they deserve it. However, I wish they would have done it another way. You see, timing is everything. We waited forevvvvvvver for this game to come out, and when it did, man we were in heaven. However I think the masses would have preferred more original MK fighters, less new ones. I could see if one came out every year, but we waited for years for this game, and I'll admit the first time I saw Mokap, I said 'you have to be kidding me this blows ass. He's the motion capture guy, so it was probably very very easy to put him, this is bullshit.' Well, I have learned to like him, slightly, but I can understand where people are coming from. This game was waited for, longgggg before it was ever even announced. We waited for a game that we didn't even know would come out, because we love it so damn much. And when it does come out, and it's not as secretive or mysterious as the ones we love, it hurts. And then when the last secrets are Mokap and Blaze, it's like salt in the wound. I have healed, and I like Mokap to an extent, but I do understand all the pissed off people.

its better than having a well known character having no weapon and no fatality.

and this isn't about ur hatredor liking of mokap. maybe for mk6, they will have 2 "real"(what ever the fuck that means) secret characters and add in the 1(maybe more) bonus characters

but i dont understand people bitching about mokap. he's a great fighter, great tribute, fun to use. he's everything a bonus character should be

just think about how pissed off u'd be if mokap was replaced with baraka?

u'd see hundrends of threads by pissed off fans wondering why baraka got lame moves and only 3 fighting styles and no weapon and no fatality.

K. I forgot to mention something, in the next MK, I wouldn't mind seeing more staff, but I'd rather see them in thier day-to-day outfits, you know jeans, t-shirts, whatever...but those need not be the only hidden fighters, nor the hardest to get fighters...put them in the Krypt and make Smoke and Sindel the ones u unlock in Konquest...

Another thing, I'd kill for Baraka in MK:DA
