I have grave fears that Nightwolf is gonna suck in this game. I mean not that many people like him already and this game may be the nail in his coffin in many peoples eyes. I know the game isn't yet complete but I will state the negatives and positives that I can see.


My Fears (negatives)

His fatality is pretty boring. It is really stock nothing special. The best things are the spining of it at the start and Sindel's scream. This point was really rubbed in when I saw Jade's fatality especially how she displays the opponent's head on the stick like it is a kebab.

His Tomahawks aren't made out of green energy like in MK3. Jade's staff isn't purple but they'll save that for her pose at the end of a round.

He looks to have stolen Rain's lightning move. I don't want to hear Rain fans going on and on about how they should have put Rain in instead of Nightwolf.

After his story in MK3 I'm afraid that it may be a repeat. One of the main things that may change my views is his Bio. If his story is good then I'll be happy and worry less. It isn't released yet so I'm worried. If it is bad I won't be happy at all.

Positives

His alternate costume is very good from what I've seen.

His arrow move looks good as it enters the opponent and drains energy from the opponent.

He has two tomahawks, two is always better than one.

I'm real happy that his back I just want him to be really good.

Did I miss anything ?
Do you think he is looking to be a good character in MK:D ?
Will he be a good character in MK:D ?
Are my fears warranted ?

I gotta be honest with you -Nightwolf-, I have yet to see a single character in MKD that I don't want in the lineup or that I think won't kick ass which surprises the hell out of me. I haven't played it yet of course, but so far it's all good, including Nightwolf.

Love his Fatality.

I love NW's fatality and alternate outfit.

He will rock, fear not.

I just feel he should have been sprung on us late possibly with the new, "Chief Thunder" appearance and then there would have been a bigger "Wow" factor.

I like his lightning attack, it makes him stronger. He was the best character in MK3 ( IMO ), and from all the movies i have seen I can tell you, that he'll be great in MKD. I'm glad he's back and can't wait to play with him again. Ed Boon brought him back and I know he won't make a mistake to make him weak or uninteresting. And by the way, I love his fatality...

You weren't the only one that was creeped out I was too but I think it was mainly due to Sindel's sickening scream.

Thanks Bezou I feel the same except maybe Bo Rai Cho but he looks ver improved. I like his fatality but it doesn't strike me as a favourite.

Nightwolf is going to rock. This is his second chance and for them to screw it up would mean we'd probably never see him again.

I know he's going to kick ass regardless. His moves are great and his costumes look great. I'm impressed with him and everyone else. He won't disappoint you!

That's my main fear. It looks like he'll be okay at least from your opinions.

Put your fears to the side my friend. I played Nightwolf at E3 and he KICKED ASS. I never liked him in the other games,and in this one he is in my top three. His styles might have changed and maybe some of his moves but he will still be one of my new favorites. His fatality is harsh and straight to the point. I agree with everyone else sometimes simple fatalities are better than a neck pull. Who cares that he stole a move from rain. Night Wolf is looking good. I think he will be one of the top characters.

Nightwolf was the most underrated character in MK3. He had some of the most accessible moves and stongest combos.

The problem with him was his appearance in that game. I mean... when I think of the way he was dressed, he looked more like comparing Michael J Fox to real a cowboy in Back to the Future III (pink shirt etc) than how I would think he should have looked. His posture also seemed bad... where as native americans are known for excellent movement skills (comparable to ancient ninja) which requires excellent posture and flexibilty in most cases. Another problem was he was... too thin.

In MKD though, he stands tall, he's built like a train and he's dressed much better. Still not quite native american, but I guess sort of like... a native american Terminator (I'd see that in the theatre). If he retains his great fighting ability, he will have nothing to fear. He could possibly become a much more consistant character like Kano or Jax.

This is the new Nightwolf, and although he was always good, he is now better, and I thnk of all the characters that people are willing to give another chance, he deserved it most and people are going to give it to him with open arms.

I also went to the E3 this year and I played against one of the developers that was demonstrating the game, I believe his name was Paolo Garcia. He royally whipped my ass with Nightwolf by effectivly using that damn lightening bolt move. It's so quick that it almost seemed unblockable and if I'm not mistaken it seemed to track the placement of my character for more effective use of it I suppose. His set ups were decent and easily pulls of juggles.

The only character that I used that stood a chance was Ermac smile! I don't know if they toned Ermac down since E3 because he was quite strong as well. If they didn't then grin Muaha ha ha ha ha!!! Prepare for the "Ermac is so cheesy" threads! wink

^I thought Nightwolf's lightning would be good in juggles wink. Which was going to be one of the pro-Nightwolf points I was going to make. That lightning move will undoubtedly make him better. My other point was that he's got Tae Kwon Do, which is IMO one of the stronger fighting styles (I'm considering it for Shujinko). Worry not - the Wolfman is gonna be bad@$$

thanks for telling me this dirtystankbutter. May I ask what was his weapon style like ? Was it a copy of a style from MK:DA just with tomahawks or not ?

Okay cool. I hope he keeps that move then. Thanks for the info.

Thanks to everyone else who posted as I'm not very worried too much anymore. I also worry to much anyway.
If any of you guys who were at E3 would post some more details on Nightwolf either post it here or PM me. Thanks in advance.
