Frost is pretty cool, and I cant tell you how annoying I find it when people call her a rip off of Sub-Zero.
For one thing, her personality is completely diferent.
Her moves are diferent, the only thing similar between their moves is that they are both based on ice. But that's it. I dont see anyone calling Kai a Liu Kang rip off because most of his moves are fireballs. I dont see anyone calling Quan Chi a Shang Tsung rip off, but they both blast flaming skulls.
So Frost and Sub-Zero both have moves based on ice. Big FUCKING deal. The moves are pretty diferent.
What would you do to make Frost-keep in mind, she's a female ninja with ice powers- to make her more diferent from Sub-Zero?
Diferent personality, diferent costume, diferent mask design, diferent moves, diferent fighting styles(VERY diferent, actually. Sub-Zero's are mostly low ranged fighting styles, and Frost's aren't). They even gave Frost her own hairstyle. I'd say they made her original enough.
And yes, she's pretty awsome. |
You have a point about Frost's only real similarity with Sub is the fact that they both use ice powers, but your comparisons are weak. A fireball is a very generic projectile, and it's not really the signature of either Kai or Liu Kang. And Shang Tsung only threw flaming skulls in MK2. In MK3 and MKDA he just threw plain old fireballs; and in MK1-3 they weren't his signature, morphing was. Ice, however, is Sub Zero's signature. The point is people find it stupid to have two characters with the same signature power.
So what would we do to make her different? That's the point! She was a stupid idea to begin with. Maybe if Sub found someone with water powers, or flame powers, etc. that would be better. But another ice ninja? No.
