Yeah, because I like characters, I have to like ALL characters? Sorry, I can't appreciate fart/puke jokes in Mortal Kombat, never will. Humans make me sick with their polluting behavior, so Bo Rai Cho only reminds me of that. D'Vorah, now that is a character, the bug that strikes back and who crushes humans under her heals. Awesome.

Cassie Cage (that name, o lord, call her Cassandra for fuck sake, this isn't highschool) is a bad character because she is a forced generation of characters with copied moves and looks, just put in blonde soldier sonya and give her the glasses of Johnny Cage, BORING! Look at how people hated Jarek and Kira, well Cassandra is just the same.

+ The worst thing for me is that she WILL destroy the story mode for me personally again, and that is the thing I look most forward to. But now I know Cassandra + Family is in it again, I won't be as much hyped as I was before. At least I hope that awful voice actress of her from MKX is gone, God I hate that voice. Also that intro with the mortal kombat music and earplugs, ugh! And the annoying thing she does with her hand with her gun, so annoying, not to begin about the bubblegum. YUCK!

Nope.

Yes, she is even worse, at least Jarek and Kira had names that didn't make me puke. Cassie... Jacqui...How old are we? 8?

Apparently, if a character’s name triggers you.

I want ask a weird side-question here...

Which one of you is the crazy bastard who keeps giving Nuckelavee that one "Like!" on every post!?

I mean WHO is this guy compelling here!?

I mean look no further than 1 back, someone liked a post that implied Jarek was a name that was unpukeworthy. That's just crazy talk!

Dude, you must be like 14. I've never seen an adult who wasn't a sociopath refer to other people as humans.

Also, what is this call her Cassandra crap? Why, so she can just sound pretentious? I have known 3 Cassandras in my life - 2 went by Cassie, 1 by Cass. Making people call her Cassandra is like a guy named Thomas insisting he be called Thomas instead of Tom. Furthermore, do we have to do this with every character who goes by a nickname?

"JOHN CARLTON WINS"

"JACKSON WINS"

"JACQUELINE WINS"

Stop trying to be so serious about things, kid. Part of the greatness of MK is the ridiculousness of it. The nut punch, the puke puddle, and the babality are Mortal Kombat.

Why are you all still entretaining that troll? Just let it keep throwing tantrums about the roster every 4 years and waiting for it to get banned for the millionth time.

Did not really liked the kombat kids..

Jarek is a shit character, but his name isn't something I would puke to when I hear it, Cassie, which sounds like some schoolgirl from Beverly Hills is. Why they had to be called Cassandra and Jacqueline? Call them Kelly and Luna for all I care, but those names are puke-worthy.

Just wondering what the reasoning is for all the negativity, and arbitrary decisions. If they were redesigned, and renamed they'd be a different character, and we'd still have the same discussions about roster space/design/moves/story/kultural references. If they change the games story/setting/kharacters it'd be a different game entirely. MK without humans isn't MK. What do we focus on, why care if it doesn't have anything to do with Earth/Earthrealm? We have the kharakters we were given. As fans, all we can do is offer feedback, and constructive criticism. Angry ranting, and constantly complaining about superficial nonsense comes off as jarring, abrasive, and annoying. It's not helpful without valid reasoning. A why.

Cassie acts like a millenial because she is one. If MK took place during the 80's she'd represent 80's culture. Egotistical like her dad, a self absorbed movie star. Cameras are their life. Humans in general crave attention/worship. I hate a lot of shit too, but I don't go out of my way to attack it. I'll ignore the "humans" comment, and not derail this with my own crazytrain...

As for Coltess(sorry I mixed up your names), it would seem Jaqui's move properties/effects need to be tweaked then. I don't know enough about competitive play either.Some want an all out overhaul/different skillset. Personally I don't mind the guns in a fighting game. Too late now, and multiple chars use them so it's not just 1 cheap OP bastard. Bullet/magic/chi, it's a ranged projectile either way. Speaking of copycat moves, technically eveyone is. Punches, kicks, ranged attacks it's all the same, just different properties/effects.

Ka-Tra

Johnny Cage is a Hollywood superstar so the fact his daughter sounds like she is from Beverly Hills make sense. You outdid yourself with that one...still...$500 shoes.

Heh, I'm not even sure how Kelly and Luna are any less "Beverly Hills" than Cassie.

Lmao, I was wondering the exact same thing.

I just want to say for the sake of 2 cents, I know a Cassie, and she is a college graduate, scientist & after years working a boring scientist job doing water testing (PH & such), now works at a museum teaching scientific principles to small children. She's a smart, well spoken, well educated and all around decent person.

She's also a Millennial, as it happens. (But then, so am I, and I'm a guy in my mid-thirties... far and away not a teenage girl, and well past high school... so I don't know why we're acting like that's suddenly a mark of extreme youth & immaturity. The Millennial generation began in the early eighties for Christ's sake. Millennials are literally older than the entire Mortal Kombat franchise.)

In point of fact her name is Cassandra, and she introduces herself formally as Cassandra, but in day to day conversation people call her Cassie... because that's just what people do with long names that have lots of syllables. We abbreviate. Cassandra doesn't roll off the tongue any better in real life than it does a video game.

BUT like I said... just my 2 cents.

Much as Umbra just pointed out, it's not like this conversation has much of a firm basis to begin with when we're pretending Cassie is a name somehow more "Beverly Hills" than Kelly (And I live in the Midwest, Chicagoland as it happens, about an hour from Netherrealm Studios. So. Ya'know. I can confirm we in fact have Cassies here, where Ed Boon & I both live, far from California)

To be honest I am not sure how anyone can be so irate at a fictional character's name that is appropiate for that character...a character they hate no less anyway but here we are.

Actually I"m really not hating on a lot of characters, I would accept a remake from Kobra, Kira, and I even come to accept Jacqui.

The only characters I'm getting my blood boiled over are Bo Rai Cho and Cassandra Cage. Li Tekken is another character they could give a good remake, but for now I hate her as well. ALL other characters are fine in my book. Yeah there are the likes of Mokap and Meat, but they aren't anywhere near threats to me, as they won't return anyway.

That was actually sarcastic.

I know many Jarek's in my country. It's a normal name in many European countries.

Cassie and Jacqui though sound as if they were made for pinky fans not older than 12.

I think I discovered today the real reason I hate Cassie Cage so much, she reminds me of two of the worst humans on this earth: Bieber and Cyrus.

Just look at this pathetic joke of a costume, UGH! https://i.pinimg.com/originals/ec/c8/ba/ecc8ba2d21ff67925f748a6beb27f8ad.png

@Nuckelavee

All you're doing is bitching and moaning about the same shallow crap and nearly everyone is in complete disagreement with you. Even most of those who agree with you in the simplest sense (saying the characters could use some more substance, for example) aren't echoing your vulgar and discriminatory comments.

We get it. You're intellectually disadvantaged, so you ignore 95% of what is said, reply to one statement, and then regurgitate the same tired, stinking filth that you've been spewing since the day you decided to stain this forum with your inane arguments.

If you're capable, say something of substance for once. Give a constructive critique of one of the two characters you're prejudices are preventing you from enjoying. I won't hold my breath in anticipation of an intelligent response.

EDIT: I've just seen your comment relating to Cassie and Jacqui having albeit trivial similarities to two polarizing pop culture icons. Hasn't changed my opinion of you, to be quite frank. For me, it just serves as further proof that you're a hate-filled individual with an admitted prejudice toward anyone who has anything in common with today's youth culture.

Or a simple answer, I don't give a crap about what you think of me. And I also know you are just using me as an easy way to get likes from a couple of the same people over and over again. Rather cheap.

Intelligence? Who needs that? The true bane of humankind.

Everybody that disagrees with me is a Bieber and Cyrus fan, I would rather end myself.

Also calling me a troll is so boring, call me a Popobawa, Ewah, Hundun or Cagrino instead. Just for creativities sake, and for the sake that those creatures actually SPREAD chaos and madness, unlike Trolls.

Because Kelly Cage doesn't enhance the trend of the Cage family not using the K for C motif. C women's names aren't overly abundant with only a few being relatively common. She could have been Catherine Cage, but no "hue-mon" would call her that, so she'd be Cathy Cage. She's supposed to be hip, not asking for the manager at Applebees. The same goes for Caroline. Carol Cage is just too old lady. Clarissa and Chloe maybe would have worked, but to me those sound more valley-girl than Cassie.

Moving on to Luna, outside of Harry Potter I've never seen a "hue-mon" named Luna. I'm sure there are, but it's certainly not common. Furthermore, my assumption based on the child's age would be one of two; parents are yuppies or parents are potterheads. Assuming you intended that for either one of them, Sonya and Jax certainly aren't yuppies, and I doubt they play quidditch on the weekends.

Jacqui certainly has it's issues as a name, primarily the spelling as one may assume it's pronounced Ja-kwee in some weird attempt by NRS to "go street." But really, why not Jaqueline? It's a relatively common name. I'm a millennial, I went to high school with a girl named Jacueline. I'd say it's as normal as Jackson.

I also went to high school with a Jarek, and everytime I said his name my thought was Sonya's MK4 ending.

I'm not a fan of Justin Bieber or Miley Cyrus, just to be clear. I listen to a lot of Hip-Hop and damn near anything that isn't bubblegum pop/rap. You refer to people as "humans" as though you're some sort of alien, or maybe a furry, which isn't a recognized species, lol.

I'm also not the one paying attention to the "Likes" I'm receiving. But, now that you've brought that to my attention, maybe you're just a tad envious, maybe even resentful that I've accumulated more than you. I don't see any other reason for making that a subject of conversation. I'm not focused on garnering positive feedback for my opinions, which is seemingly in contrast to why you even bother spewing forth the inane drivel that you so carelessly leave behind every one of your posts.

You'll find that the vast majority if not all of the users here will label you a cancer to those around you and, in time, your inane rants will garner no interest. If you want to enjoy your stay here, I suggest that you learn to speak your mind in a manner that doesn't give people reason to believe that you're unable to see reason and are so small-minded that, no matter how you're approached, you'll never give an inch. Pick your battles and your words, kid.

I actually know a couple of Luna's. The name actually just means moon, but in the Netherlands, the name is actually wide-spread.

Btw (again) The names Luna and Kelly were both sarcastic, they are just as bad as Cassie and Jacqui, but at least Kelly suits the whole picture of Cassie more.

I can't be the only one laughing at this guy instead of getting pissed off right?

Someone else wrote: hey how about you actually say something with substance?

I'm starting to think someone didn't quite fit in with their fellow humans and started to think they are a demon horse.

NEEEEEIIIIIIGGGHHHHH
