lol... a pirate, now that would be badass... complete with a parrot fatality... it would also add more fuel to the ninja vs. pirate fire. el oh el
as for MK being about skilled human warriors, the thing that sets MK apart from its 'competitors' in the fighting genre is its great fantasy element. crazy characters that aren't sub-bosses have been in the series way before Sheeva, look at Baraka.

But he still had skills and he is fantasy. There is nothing fantansy about a pirate or a viking, they were real people. Also what would be so good about fighting with a viking or priate against fighters who have special power and skills when they have nothing? To me the answer is, nothing.
I gotta think some people were not fans of MK since MK1 came out. Seems some fans became fans when MKDA came out and most old MK fans didn't celebrate over the new characters.
Also MK is modern, vikings and pirates really aren't modern. Their more or less a thing of the past which MK is not about.

Mortal Kombat could easly, with some minor addition (Pirate, Viking, Felines (!)...) fall into the derscriptive word....

No no noooooooooo.....
Don't get me wrong.
I'm just suggesting.. that they could end up bringing all the classics of myths.
But I like it as it is right now, no need to bring these crazy characters, as lon as the game is good.

i have never seen a shokan practice martial arts besides Sheeva ( kinda). Shao Kahn didn't have martial arts. Moloch didn't either. Wrestling isnt a style of martial arts, but it was in it. Just because a character isn't Asian or doesn't have Martial Arts doesnt mean they cant be in it a lto of characters arent even those.

Here's a version of my guy Name: Borlador Height:7'3 Weight:280 Moves: Valhalla crush(leaps through the air and hits opponent with hammer) shoulder ram Judgment (Throws opponent in the air depending on what button you hit he will slam them into the ground or punch upwards sending them flying.) Might of Thor ( grabs opponent by legs and heavily slams them into the ground) Weapon: Mjollner ( thors hammer) Fatality 1: hits opponent across screen then walks over to opponent and crushes midsection with hammer. Fatality 2: Borlador calls upon valhalla whereupon spears of the dead warriors impale the opponent standing up Story: Borlador was a master viking. While escaping from a village he ransaced his ship , Ragnarok, sailed into a portal to Outworld. Borlador and his men were captured by the Nomads working for the DK. He demanded a parlay. When he reached the DK he demanded that they be released from this hellish world. The DK told him that the only way to peace is to join him or fight his way out, through the tournament. Borlador immediatly accepted to join the tournament with a greedy smirk on his face. Will he join the path of good or evil along the way who knows? |
I really like this, but whether he fits in with the MK story is a different question.
Nonetheless a very original and exciting character. If he appeared in any other game like Sould Caliber i would really like him. Good job dude
A Viking? Oh please! That just doesn't fit in the game. First few games was the ninja mania, than the cyborgs. Now the Oni's... I belive we have enogh...

whats wrong with the viking, that its not modern?
samurais neither, id rather seeing a viking over a samurai for the simple reason that im sick of seing samurais in all the games. also in mk all have special abilitys. or why dont put a nordic god like odin? also vikings had great strategies not only brute force. also not all has to have martial arts some of them needs another styles.

hmmm... isn't this game called Mortal Kombat? that would include any mortal whether they are White, Black, Asian, Native American, Latin, or even albino (Quan Chi
)
if they can have a movie star, a shaman, a mo-cap character, a cop, ninjas out the ass, cyborgs, gangsters, countless guys with cybernetic implants, a reptile/human, a character made completely of fire, and guy who kills people with his hat, why can't there be a Greek/Norse character?
if your argument is that MK is current and vikings are dead then about all the characters would be gone in MK (ninjas haven't been around for a while, but apparently they make up 75% of the population in Outworld... so why can't vikings exist in Outworld?) nor have samurai, and according to the story both Nitara and Reptile's races existed on earth a long-azz time ago
and gameplay wise, i'd rather play with a character whose weapons range from axes, swords, spears and hammers than some1 who uses machine guns and/or bombs (not to knock characters who have those)
adding a viking might give it a broader appeal in the European market, who knows... (OK, so I'm pulling excuses out of my ass now, lol) basically, I think MK should represent everyone... equality for any whether they be any race of human, half-dragon/half-human, mutant, ghost, zombie, lizard, centaur, cyborg, vampire, oni or deity... ok, that's the end of my rant

That so called gansta character was only Jax, which ruined his strong level headed apperance imo.
Also don't count Mokap, he was a joke.
Also MK did start out with fighters who has style and skills, considering it was based on a Bruce Lee movie. I think MK should stick to the roots somewhat and not go over board with anything showing up in MK.
Like someone said, go play Marvel Vs Capcom 2 if you want anything.
I mean hey, why even stop at a viking and a werewolf when we could have a pirate, space pirate, aliens, dracual himself, frankenstien, a mummy and even some sort of sea creature. Why not even Aqua Man or Super Man. Their mondern and have some good powers.
Btw, I'm joking about those people since it's crazy imo.

Asian based game. Not the characters are all asian Obviously, but the story is very asian influenced. A Viking won't work. Even most of the demons are asian story based. So How would a viking fit in?
No offence to nitara fans but she was just a filler and doesn't really fit in. She kicked ass but she is simply a filler.

well i just looked at the thread title a little more closely and realized it said MKD... huh... musta missed that... I'm restating my position on the "viking" character: once again, its not so much that I want a viking character, perhaps a greek/norse mythology fighter (God of War!!) and I think the character lineup is excellent how it is... no changes until the next one, so no "viking" for MKD, but still open to having one later in the series...
a lot of people are arguing: MK is fresh and current and it's Asian based... joke characters like Mokap don't count! and vikings don't fit! let me point out some things
1) MK may be an Asian influenced game, but face it most games are... and just because it originally is based around Japanese/Chinese characters and myths doesn't mean it should stay the same and never expand its universe.
2) according to the story, some evil superpowerful tyrant from another world is always trying to take over the Earthrealm. Earth... as in the whole thing. Not just the continent of Asia and a couple of American states. That's right, even France with its translation quirks.
3) Existing characters and story-elements in the series have been breaking the Asia-only rule pretty much since MK1... Motaro (centaurs would be more Greek mythology) Kano (although he was raised in Japan he's from the land down under... no, not the Netherrealm) Nightwolf (a Native American shaman... he practices magic, meaning his gods and myths co-exist with MKs kinda Chinese elemental Gods) Stryker (sigh) Bo Rai Cho (is a wink at borracho which means drunkard en Espanol) and in DA, there are pyramids complete with the mummified army... to my knowledge there are no pyramids in asia, meaning this took place in Africa
CMETH, you raise valid points, but c'mon... admit it... you like the vike... c'mon *nudge, nudge*
admit that you like my idea, you know you wanna.. come on.. aw shit, who am I kidding... it was merely an attempt to compliment someones idea... but thanks a lot CMETH and all you viking haters... thank YOU for crushing my dreams of playing as Erik the Red-headed step-child... thanks a heap for destroying my aspirations of having another move thief: Thor, the vanilla God of Thunder

I'd be happy to see a Viking and there is always a way to put one in and make him cool.
Why not have Shang Tsung stepping through Portals into the past and selecting the most ruthless warriors throughout time to fight for the forces of Evil?
I just want this to happen with a Roman Gladiator OR better still make out Shao Khan to have been a fully fledged Roman Gladiator.

actually, I wasn't talking about Jax, I was talking about Kano and the rest of the Black Dragons... seeing as they're the Black Dragon gang right? so, wouldn't they technically be considered gangsters? why is it only the black character can be a gangster? *in mock MJ voice* "That's just ignant"... want I should call the RDs mobsters? jk... ik wut ur talking about, Jax's alt costume in Deadly alliance... gosh, I'm not that ignant, lol... I don't get why they did the whole street look for him either... maybe he was on the DL, you know, undercover haha... sorry

Well some things aren't even remotely related to Asian. Also, most things in the game aren't even mortal. Sure it might have been based on a bruce lee movie, but they had whites and blacks. This may be kinda off topic, but I saw soem Jean-Claude van Dam movie where a lot of the people were small asains that practiced martial arts, but then they had a big ass biker dude who mauled most of them till he got killed by the champion. I mean how the hell is a biker gonna fit in a martial arts competition, cause he can fight. Sure a lot of you out will probably retort what styles could he use. Well one style is a weapon soo I think we got that down. As for the fighting moves he could just have a basic brawling style it doesn't have soem goro ty ju jy jitsuor whatever. Then he could have an american like style like wrestling. A lot fo the people who oppose to this idea refer to vikings as if they have never existed ever and are some kind of fairy tale or story that was just made up by an author. I mean come on think on a broader side here. I think MKD is good the way it is too, but I'd like to see different people than just a bunch of ninjas.
I had a great idea to put a viking in the story.
Rajnar-Hundreds of years ago
He and his brothers were told by Thor(raiden) to kill a powerful asian sorceror in japan(shang tsung) while traveling on their viking ship they reached Japan. After battling countless ninja's the Viking brothers reached Tsung in his castle. Tsung set Goro out and killed all the warriors except for Rajnar who escaped. As the lone viking reached his sea vessel he was confronted by Thor(raiden) and set on a journey to travel across asia and find a way back to his home land. He was to study all forms of kombat and learn from all types of teachers. When he reached his destination 10 years later he was rewarded the gift of a long life and a final chance to kill Tsung.
