In regards to Motaro.

As a game developer myself, I ask you to please read this whole thing and look at it from a development standpoint.

It was either have him in the game but make him playable, IE: two legs. He simply would not have worked with 4 legs, I gaurantee you, it just wouldn't work with the current engine OR not put him in the game and deal with intense/harsh critcism from all of the fans of him. This is the safe route, put him in the game when he's actually useable but with a significant change. You'll please half of the crowd and make half of the crowd angry. Thats why I generally say you'll only see one Chameleon. They'll do some story thing to explain why there is only one or that there was always only one. You got that person in the game with something workable, and you please some poeople but not all.

Better to get the character in, and please half the crowd, then to exclude them entirely and deal with the constant barrage of Where is Motaro? Where is K/C/Chameleon? Which they already dealt with sort of when it was speculated that they wouldn't be in the game. The complaints of his absence are why Motaro is here with 2 legs essentially.

Think about moving up and down in a 3D environment. as a horse. You've rode a horse in other games right? How would Motaro do that, Stand in one place, rotate 45 degree's move a step or two and then rotate again to face the opponent again? He would get annihliated. The only fix is to make him move completely unrealistic and look aboslutely ridiculous in the process. I've never seen a horse strafe/shuffle left/right.

It's either this or nothing and personally I think this is better than nothing. The odds of Motaro going to the next game were very slim as it is, so it's better to have him in some form for one last hurrah.

Some people are neva satisfied.

Motaro would not work on 4 legs in MKA! Why? loading times would be nuts especially with the movements he would make.

2D it wasnt bad because everything was flat and sprite.

You all wanted him in mka, now he's in and your still not satisfied.

Get over it, it's life of the 3d world.
