Although unnecesary, i'd really like to see a playable BIG character in Deception much like Zangief is to Street Fighter or the Hulk is to Capcom vs. Marvel

Deception could have a huge ugly character thats BIG and has a little more powerful moves than the regular char's. Along the role of a Troll, or mini giant, or a beast that once served as protector to the dragon king but has gone its own way.

Im not tired of all the fighters equipped with "average" builds, i just think it would be a welcomed change.

Mabye Moloch will be playable in MK7.Mabye there will be a new,"big" shokan in MK:D.A new "big" character would be great,but if you get to choose a "big" fighter make him slow or something like that so it will be a fair fight,other than that I have no problem with a big fighter.

EXACTLY - i never really picked/favored Zangief or the Hulk or any other BIG character but they certainly were fun to fight against and at times play with due to their powerful moves.

They'd for sure have to be a little slower due to their size but imagine how FUN it would be to THROW scorpion through the brick wall, or DOUBLE FIST PUNCH Mileena's little body off the lightning tower level. HAH, i'd like to see her try to FLY then...

That is one thing that MK has never done,make the fighters very in size.They all look the same height,that needs to be fixed.If Raiden is 7 feet tall make him look that tall.

I do hope they add a new Shokan fighter and make him or her a powerhouse,that would countinue to add depth to MK.

It always was a little weird to me that CAGE was capable or performing fatalities like "torso ripping" where he would rip the body in half. ALTHOUGH it was KOOL, it would appear much more brutal AND realistic for a HUGE ONI to do this kind of fatality...ALSO a HUGE character beast, troll or whatever could EAT their enemy as a fatality...

I do agree, i liked the concept of the evil sumo. Perhaps hes one of the new warriors in MKD. Apart from Bo rai cho being the good fat guy, i've always wanted a sumo in MK that would be evil. You can find the concept sketch of him in the kyrpt of MKDA.

As far the the big characters issue goes, i think this should appeal to the sub boss. I want a big crazy sub boss, just like how kintaro was in MK2. Creatures like Kintaro and Motaro are always awesome, because they are half a hybrid to something else. A hybrid choice should definately be a Minotaur. I would absolutely love to see one as the boss of MKD. A half bull half human warrior seems amazing IMO.

No it doesn't
We found that out in MK:DA by two examples Hsu Hao and Jax quite possibly the two worst characters in MK:DA.

Evil Sumo was the worst concept idea. But a big playable character in MKD could be quite cool. There's very old concept art of a barbarian character for MK1 called Rokuro. Reminded me of Conan, he, or someone similar could fit the role quite well.

I to do hope to see a large, oaf of a character in MKD. Would be the first new character I'd try. Maybe the rumored new Shokan will fill this role. I like the evil-sumo idea too. Shoving people around with a massive sumo/shokan would rule.

Now the every character has their own set of stances I see no reason not to have characters of various builds playable. The only reason older MK's were stuck with everybody at about the same size was due to the fact that they all had the same basic moves.

jax, hsu hao, bo rai cho were all big guys, at least that's how I see them.

But I don't think they can be considered as the "large" characters, if Moloch could have been selectable, then we have a "large" character indeed. If Moloch is playable in MKD (crosses fingers) then we have another problem solved!

I hated the evil sumo concept. It's like every fighting game needs a big bulky fighter.

Zangief(SF), Taka Arashi(VF), Ganryu (T2) and the guy in DOA3 of whom I forgot the name.

I don't really think MK needs a BIG character. I wouldn't mind, but it's not necessary

btw, Hsu Hao was big, he didn't look that big because his poses are rather crouched, but he's big.

And the new Shokan is bound to be big anyway.

I totally disagree, Hsu Hao, although ugly and didnt feel like part of the genre, was one of my favs. He was a thug, he had big hands and had the back breaker and the moon weapons. I HATED his specials...( clapping wind ?!?!?! please ), but he was fun to play with and had some cool combos.

i think nightwolf should have been the big bulkey char. but from pictures i see he isnt. You guys are forgeting about goro, motaro, and kintaro, even sho khan, they were all huge and very playable in mkt they need to bring back some of those people in the game as secrete char's

This is a good idea, and is exactly why a character like Shao Kahn should return as a playable character. But then again, as someone else pointed out, MK characters vary in size but the game does NOT show that. Quan Chi is what...6'8? And Sonya was 5'10? And they were the exact same height. I think, before anything, they should adjust the heights accordingly.

I want the SON OF GORO to come after noob and co. for revenge !!! Think of how much creepier quan chi and rayden would be if they were true to their height. Long thin men frighten me and my kin alike.

hahaha long thin men frighten me and my kin alike Thats some shit. I like the idea of of a shoakon returning, but im not so sure about Goros son, but thats JUST ME, im not one for family and such in a video game....i think that was only cool in star wars.

Yeah, Zangief was actually one of my best street fighter 2 characters... won quite a few SF tourneys with him back in tha day...

I think it'd be nice to see some more varied character designs... (notice how just about everyone's the same height?)
