Khameleon Thoughts

Just wanted to start a thread of speculations on what Khameleon will be like as a playable character, even though we probably won't know until the game is out for the Wii. Just want to see what you all might think about her:

+ Fighting style
+ Weapon style
+ Special moves
+ Other things?

Fighting style: Probably either Baji Quan or Eagle Claw because those are the only two styles that haven't been given to anyone else

Weapon style: Possibly Kama, as stated in Nitara's Deadly Alliance Konquest. I hope not though, because this we already have a few copycats with weapons as it is and this would take away from Nitara (she already has specials very similar to Tanya's specials). If they DO give Khameleon the Kama, hopefully she can use them in her fatality movements.

Special moves: Well since Chameleon's specials are constant (don't change through the round like in MK:T), I'd presume Khameleon's will be as well. Though Khameleon will probably have less moves seeing as there are only three female "ninjas." Then again, she could have moves from the other females as well.

I hope to see her have the Pretty Kick, Sheeva's Fireball, Find Me!, & Frost's Teleport Uppercut.

What do you all hope to see from her?

maybe she can have also Tanya's special moves,but i'm not sure,in fact also Tanya is a female ninja.
however she is identical to Chameleon only in female body.
Not so much originality in her,and she alone isn't enoguh to buy the Wii version.

Thats false, there are several other styles that hasnt been given to anyone, such as Aikido, Crab and Netherealm off the top of my head.

Whoops, forgot about those. I just remembered Baji Quan and Eagle Claw off the top of my head. Though the possibility of her having Netherrealm seems rather low. Having Aikido or Crab would seem a better choice. I still advocate the Baji Quan or Eagle Claw since they were given to women before.

I think Eagle Claw would be the best fit for her, it resembles Chameleon's Crane slightly and it's Kitana's old fighting style. As for special moves, I'm thinking Kitana's Fan Throw and/or Pretty Kick, Mileena's Teleport Kick and/or Rolling Thunder, and Jade's Teleport and/or Shadow Kick.

Call me crazy but after closely looking at her picture on the select screen I'm noticing a resemblance to Jade's alt. in the cothing department. Just by the choker and the shoulder straps. Don't take my word for it though.

I thought her costume looked like Kitana's MKSM outfit, but we cant see it all that clearly.

Heres what I think she'll get:

Fighting Style:

-Eagle Claw or Baji Quan (Theyre in MKA, in KAF mode. Both belonged to women previously and both would kinda fit her).

-Some generic sword or axe

Moves:
- Kitana's Pretty Kick
- Mileena's Roll
- Jade's Shadow Kick
- Jade's Razor Rang OR A generic Fireball from KAK
- Her version of Jade/Kitana's teleport

I hope she gets at least one mvoe of her own though, but I doubt it.

Damn, I never noticed that before.

I would prefer it if she got her own special moves. Then again, I'm pretty sure we'll end up having her with specials from Kitana, Mileena, and Jade.

As for her fighting style, they might as well make use of Eagle Claw.

Baji Quan is done HORRIBLY, and I could most likely say the same for Shuai Chiao...Yes...As a matter of fact, I could.

Fighting Styles:
Yes, styles. I dont think she will get a weapon. The MK team are lazy, and probz wouldn't bother creating a new weapon (remember all weapons from previous games have been used already). I could see her with both Baji Quan and Eagle Claw. If Smoke and Mokap got 2 h2h styles, she certainly could too.

Special Moves:
I am guessing..
- Generic Throw
- Generic Invisibility, being a "chameleon" type character and all
- Mileenas Sky Kick
- Kitanas Pretty Kick
- Jades Shadow Kick

Yeah... lots of kicks.

The MK teams isn't lazy, ^^ they just shouldn't worry all about this stuff like Khameleon's style to please the fans when they'll bitch anyway about something....when I'd rather see more effort put into MK8 personally.We already have MKA.This is a great thing for wii owners though since there are a lot of Nintendo fans that want this game that don't have PS2 or Xbox.

I'm excited about her honestly, I'm happy they put in a tutorial mode.That's cool, and the fact that you can play with any configuration classic, GC or wii.

Aikido please!

I'd go with Eagle Claw since Khameleon is a female, it suits her.

Haven't seen you in a while!

I think Khameleon should have all projectiles, (Fan, Sai, and Boomerang throw) The rest I'm unsure about.

I am more lenient with the MK team then most people, but seriously, if you can't tell that MKA was just a rushed, lazily-put-together type game, then you must be blind.

I do, however, agree with you about putting more effort into next gen MKs, so yeah... they probz should just recycle old styles from MKDA or MKD. And the extras in the game should also be great.

It's called a deadline man ^^.Even if the MK team wanted more time, you must realize that everyone has supervisors they MUST listen to or lose your job.

Midway are the MK teams superiors, they tell the MK Team how much time they have and when they MUST be done by.

Midway also promised the fans a new MK game every year, so take that into consideration.

MKA is good in a lot of ways, in others such as glitches since I play online at high level I know this stuff.They needed to test out a lot of stuff that they didn't get to.

But seriously, fans should be worried about better gameplay not what style or how Khameleon will look...

She's going to take a special from Tanya already, so I can guess that she's also going to take one from Frost.

She had better not be a cheap 1 hour project. She should have her own moves, and everything.

From the looks of it, she definitely is a cheap project. It's not really surprising though as the focus was more on figuring out the controls for the Wii version as well as adding in the new modes.

Now while focusing more on the gameplay aspects is definitely good, I'm not pleased with how they made Khameleon. But again, I'm not really surprised at all. I just hope her story will be decent enough. I'm sure her ending will probably suck like the rest, so I'm really looking forward to her bio.
