Calm down buddy it'll be okay :)

Ferra-Torr is more interesting to me than Moloch, so that guy/girl

Ferra-Torr are cute, but given their track record, they're not the best fighters. Moloch, on the other hand was the main boss in Deadly Alliance and had an interesting concept going on with the owl that never got fleshed out in the game. Plus he and Drahmin did accomplish one important thing in Deadly Alliance by tossing Scorpion into the Soulnado so there's that.

It's a shame how Kittelsen butchered Moloch and Drahmin in the comics just for the sake of making Troll Chi more of an asshole which he already was. I would have liked to see Moloch and his partner in MK11.

So here's how the fight would actually go:

-Moloch flings his giant chain ball
-Smashes Torr's small skull into bloody pieces and falls down dead
-Ferra is left alone and crushed by Moloch's foot

I went with Moloch. I knew him throughout the whole series.

Not that I find anything wrong with Ferra/Torr. I thought the komics (ok the flashbacks when Kotal saved them was one of my favorite parts of the series lol) and the game would have been a great introduction to actually get to know them better rather than be random jobbers. It was a wasted opportunity.

I voted for Ferra/Torr vs. Moloch because it's a fight of three idiots, two of whom work together. :P



Thank you. I actually have my own fighting board game with individual storylines for each combatant (click that link below!) so I have a little practice.

I forgot to mention that Taven and Daegon could still be in the game, but instead of the vague Elder God tie-in, they would instead be two of Raiden's former champions. Goro killed nine Earthrealm challengers before losing to Liu Kang, after all. Taven gets to be noble because he sees his shot at redemption, and his zeal to beat Goro draws him into something greater. Daegon gets to be bitter at Raiden for letting him die, and takes over the Red Dragon.

It's all about working with the storyline that's already been established, which helps new elements remain cohesive to the mytholo- are you reading this, Ed? You rebooted the whole timeline, right? You can use this, Ed!

Just, you know, I wouldn't mind a story credit...

I can appreciate Moloch's lore, and story signifigance. The owl dropping his ball to summon him would be an awesome intro, that'd fit well with MKX's intro style.
However, I despise monkeys, apes, n primates in general.

I'm voting for Ferra/Torr. They were a great design, and excellent retry of the team concept, without cheapening 2 existing characters. Also a nice lil Mad Max reference.
Ferra is such a crazy lil badger/wolverine, shame she didn't get a solo style, with Torr standing back, so we could see her shredding shit up like a ninja blender.



Ka-Tra

Moloch. I love the character's entire concept and design. I think he is one of the characters who really held back by the time in which he was introduced. Ferra is cool because she gives the big brute character a little personality, but I still think Moloch is cooler.

Jarek just needs tweaks in his move set so he's less like Kano. His star blade and ground quake were fine attacks; lose the Kano ball and the (ugh) eye lasers. Which was done in Armageddon, yes, but his appearance? Yeesh! How about we pay respect to Herman Sanchez in some other way, and give Jarek a mohawk haircut, or red hair, or dreadlocks, or facial piercings; ANYTHING so he stands out?

Kobra: see above. I like his hooded alternative costume and I enjoy his backstory. The badass normal being evil was a welcome twist. I'm a fan of the Black Dragon and I'd like to see more thugs from an international crime organization, but making him look like Ken Masters was just... dumb.

Drahmin and Moloch I enjoy, too. Shang Tsung had Goro, so why can't Quan Chi garner himself some muscle? I can't say I understand the scorn Drahmin receives; this is a bloody fighting game where heads and skin are ripped off is the status quo, yet a skinless monster who commands flesh-eating flies is regarded as "gross".

Chris O'Donnell from "Batman and Robin"- I mean, Reiko? Good thing that comic book series came along, right? "I'm Reiko! Get ME: I'm a general in Shao Kahn's army and I'm feared for my brutality!"
Really? What a coincidence! Kano was a general in Shao Kahn's army, and he's ALSO feared for his brutality- heck, he's wanted in 35 countries for it. AND he's got a cybernetic eye that shoots lasers! What else you got, Reiko?
"Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, ummmmmmmmmmmm, uhhhhhhh..."
Being known for brutality in MK is like standing out in the Justice League for wearing spandex; NEXT.

Hsu Hao is just a waste because the developers hate him. And if THEY say he's a crap character, then I'm not going to waste my time trying to convince them that he's not- and neither should anyone else. I'd like to more about this character the devs despised so much, they... put him in the game? Huh. I really want to find out more as to why he was even included in MK:DA. A fighter you admit is shit- and not in an ironic, Dan Hibiki kind of way- stings more than a lame coded-at-midnight fatality.

Daegon? Daegon has a memorable look and he fleshes out the Red Dragon nicely. And anyway, Taven is worse. Here is Taven's complete transcript from the Conquest mode of MK:A: "I don't know what you mean!" "I don't know what you are talking about!" x10000.

Meat, Mokap, Chameleon/Khameleon: Please stop making joke characters canon. Please stop making joke characters canon. Please stop making joke characters canon. Please stop making joke characters canon. Please stop making joke characters canon. Please stop making joke characters canon. Please stop making joke characters canon. Please stop making joke characters canon. Please stop making joke characters canon. Please stop...

And Kai? Don't get me going on Kai, AW CRAP, TOO LATE...

Raiden: You fought well, Kai. In spite of your inability to accurately hit anyone directly in front of you with your Special Moves, you fought well. Your prowess at pointlessly standing on your hands to confuse Shinnok long enough for me to shove him down a Netherrealm well worked. You are now a true Shaolin Warrior.
Kai: Thanks, Raiden. But I am not interested in becoming a Shaolin Warrior anymore. I've got too many of my own problems to deal with.
Raiden: I'm sorry... what?
Kai: I'm sorry, Raiden. I'm just not FEELING using my powers in defense of Earthrealm.
Raiden: You have got to be shitting me. What will you do next?
Kai: I don't know... Wander the earth, search for my soul. That kind of thing. Go for a swim in Lake Me.
Raiden: I'm so angry I can barely see straight. You realize you're the Mortal Kombat champion now, yes? You understand that four-armed dragon giants, bulletproof cybernetic centaurs and demons with swords for arms are SLAVERING for Earthrealm, right?
Kai: Well...
Raiden: You are SERIOUSLY going to FORFEIT the title to WHOMEVER WANTS IT, so you can saunter off on your little Linkin Park-scored emo trip of bullshit self-discovery?
Kai: It's what I feel is best for ME, Raiden! I'm SORRY!
Raiden: I'm sorry, too. I can peer into mens' souls; your whiny insecurities should've shone to me like a California wildfire. I drank waaaaay too much with Bo Rai'Cho that night; when he pointed at you saying "PICK HIM TO FIGHT SHINNOK"...? He punked me. I have infinite wisdom, and yet he punked me. Motherfucker.
Kai: Uh, so uh... who's my next challenger?
Raiden: Get out of my sight before I vomit.

Umm... I actually don't. I've never seen any Star Wars and had no idea Kabal's design was in any way releated (if at all).

*Ducks for cover before the crumpled paper and tomatoes come flying at me.*



What kind of monster are you???

Anyway, just because Moloch sort of looks like a shaved gorilla doesn't mean he is one. How many gorillas have you seen with three eyes?

Speaking of eyes, Ferra seems particularly drawn to cutting out other people's.

I don't know on this one. Ferra & Bane *ahem* i mean Torr aren't exactly 3 dimensional characters, but they play well. I really like the Boss Toss aspect of this duo. On the other hand, Moloch's 'crush, kill, destroy' attitude wasn't remotely deep character-wise either. In MKA Moloch's moveset was a little weird having three roar taunts, but in MKDA he really was a challenge to fight in the good sense of the word.

I'm going with F/T. They are more gruesome than the Oni destroyer, and that takes some skill.

Also BTW, for the person that said it earlier, Ferra is NOT a child. Its been confirmed by Ed that she is a 'little lady', therefore an adult.

Ferra/Torr, by far

I voted for Moloch. As much as I like Ferra/Torr, Moloch deserves the vote. He's another character that deserves better. I also hate Kitana for killing him in the comics. I hope Hotaru shoves him naginata up her "you-know-what", that way she can't have any babies.

Chameleon and Khameleon are not joke characters. Like others such as Jarek, they just need tweaking. Also, Kai deserves better. But Hsu Hao can stay dead. They did enough damage with him.

I'm starting to wish I voted Moloch.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset you. It looks like it sparked a debate/conversation anyway, so I'm glad you gave your opinion, and you're right, you always can. That being said, I suppose my question, or the intentions behind it, were unclear.

Ferra-Torr's ending was also one of my favourites for some reason. I like that they tried to flesh out the race a bit more with it.

I assume you voted for Ferra/Torr?

Ferra/Torr is great. I didn't really care at first when revealed at E3 (I admit I was busy drooling over D'Vorah), but it only took about a day to really appreciate these guys. After playing as them they became one of my favorites for sure. Their dynamic with each other was really good and I actually liked how they played even though I'm never fans of "big brute" fighting characters. They felt a bit faster from the others like them.

Voting for Ferra/Torr.

Moloch lol

I'm sorry too. I love giving people my opinions on things. I'm sorry if my opinions for those characters came off as a bit harsh or rude. Also, me, being a Scotsman, was more than a little drunk at the time, so you know. Oh, and I'll let you work out your little question there, Lizard.

BEEF STATUS: SQUASHED

I prefer my beef medium rare, thank you.

Miss Kitty wins my vote free. Kitana is one of the few characters that has had above par gameplay throughout the entire series. Every game she's been in, she was a blast to play. Sheeva...mmmm not so much.

I voted for Sheeva, since I fucking hate Kitana now. She's such an obnoxious twat now. Jade, Mileena, Khameleon, Tanya, Frost, and Skarlet are all better than her.

Sheeva has strength on her side, but she's no match for Kitana's speed and deadly kombat experience so I'm going for Kitana.


I agree with everyone else about Kitana's character being screwed over in this new timeline. She's less likable than the original Kitana where she was planning to overthrow Shao Kahn all this time and free her realm plus lead a preemptive strike against Shao Kahn with a fucking army in Deadly Alliance.


I actually like Sheeva and the direction they gave her as Queen of the Shokan in the new timeline. She's a lot better than being a simple jobber. Would be a shame if she won't in MK11.
