interesting ideas, will definitely add a mystical element to the game, but all of this would have to happen with in one or two seconds otherwise your gonna have a huge pause in the game which would really affect the flow of the match. Or maybe i just read the posts wrong.

The "flow" of the match is going to change, either way it goes, because, the aggressor will be stronger and faster than the other player. So it really wouldn't matter how long it takes for the sequences to take place, just as long as it's not too drawn out and carries on.

Amazing Ureiko..utterly great ideas cosmetic wise. Id love to read your ideas for what those agressors do. I have a few here.

Nitara would have a unique kind of agressor. The only way to get her agressor activated would be to spell your agressor out and instead of activating it like everyone else youd have to bite your opponent. Her agressor's special ability would be built into that bite, for their life would slow drain away for 10 seconds PLUS you have a speed and power increase.


Ok so i lied..i only have one. let me go reread ureiko's ideas..lol

When I read Versatile's post, it got me thinking, each character should have atleast one aggressor combo. And basically what it is, is the aggressor uses some of their special abilities in the combo.

Here are a few of my examples so you can comprehend what my point...

Jax- After he has powered up and you give the button command to do one of/his aggressor combo, Jax will quickly run over to his opponent and clothesline him/her. The oppoenet then does a back flip in mid-air and as the opponent is behind Jax and his/her feet are coming back around, jax just reaches behind his back, without looking and grabs his/her leg. The camera then rotates around quickly and Jax gives out an emence yell, and you see his metal arm he has the opponent's leg by, start to electrrfy and Jax slams him/her to the ground in front of him.

Jax, still holding on to his oppoenets leg then drags his/her body out a few inches in front of him then slams him/her to the ground behind him. jax does this repeadidly for a couple seconds. On the final slam, jax jumps up into the air and slams the victim face first into the ground below.

When Jax comes down he lands on the back of his opponent's head. You hear a sickly crunch, then Jax jumps off and picks his opponent up and says "Got-cha!" and he holds his/her by the throat and repeadidly starts to bash their face in with his fist. After Jax does this, he kicks his opponent into the air and he very quickly reaches behind his back and pulls out his machine gun and blasts his opponent a few times with it before they hit the ground.

Scorpion- He throws his spear and it hits his opponent right in the chest. Scorpion begins to say "Come her..." and he stops his phrase. The camera zooms in on Scorpion's face and you can tell that he has a menecing evil grin on his face.

The camera then very quickly zooms back out to its normal position and by that time, Scorpion tugs on the rope is spear is on and swings his opponent through the air and slams him down on the other side of him. He starts to slam his opponent from side-to-side.

After the final slam, Scorpion then double-wraps his arm around his rope and then pulls his opponent to him. When his opponent gets to him he punches them in the face. He does this repedidly a few times. On the final punch, while his opponent is in the air, Scorpion tugs the spear head out of his opponent's chest and the opponent goes flying into the arena wall.

While the opponent is lying there, Scorpion throws his spear back into their chest and and he grips it with both hands and you start to see him get even bigger. His muscles expand and the ground beneath his feet crumbles. Then you see a huge ball of fire shoot from his feet alll through his body and very very quickly shoots down the rope and into the opponent.

The opponent runs around on fire until all the fire has worn. Scorpion will be on fire for the rest of the match.

Those are just two of the combos/special combos. I'll try to post more.

I really like the mortal kombat special moves they had, like the kitana fan throwing or the flame throw from Lui Kang, I think it made MK unique.
but Id like to see them add every last MK character in the game even from MK mythologies.
with the moves and some new ones. I know its a lot of work but I think itll do well.

Uh, let me get this staight. You build Nitaras meter while giving her back life since, theoretically, every attack builds meter, so just bite away. Perhaps any type of bite would not build meter; ok, still broken.

She "supers", giving her frame advantage, say on average of +2 on every attack. She then gets added damage, say 20% on average for every hit. Then it scrubishly depletes oppenets life for 10 seconds, 1/6th of a round, not taking into account that most matches dont' last over 50. Say, 2 points a second for drain.

K, well, we already have 20 dmg, now we have a combo normally 35 dmg, being gracious, and 20% of that is 7 more points giving us a total of 62 points. Now, remember she has the frame advantage, so the likely hood of that normally average combo connecting has increased.

Say you have a 16 frame launcher, it is now 14. Take into account that shit might be able to break through and cancel an oponents other-wise safe block on guard stun, hit stun or some random move on hit. Not to mention the fact that there is now a CH system, which will increase damage, too.

In theory, the Nitara agressor idea is good; in theory, the subjected Nitara agressor idea is more broke than she is.

I hate you : (

love crackerjacks idea of individual traits, but haven't had time to read the rest yet!cheers

Hey, i just came up with a special idea. Remember Sub Zero's ice breath fatality from UMK3? Well now they could turn it into a move. It'd work sort of like Sonya's kiss.
