Why is everyone so impressed with these designs?

Sektor looks almost identical to Shang Tsung and Cyrax looks OK but reminds me of a mixture between Kai and someone else I can't quite place.

I guess I'm just as excited as everyone else to see how they fit their "human" story in the game and how they make their powers work, however, I'm not really that impressed with their looks...specially Sektor's.

Clow Fatality looks very cool and scary. I take it this is probably one of the 4 or 3 Fatalities Tsung will be getting (how awesome it is to finally be able to have over 2 fatalities per character in an MK game!).

This is an obvious nod and reference to MKvsDC and the censored gun shot, so, I'm cool with it as long as Tsung's other Fatalities are epic and not a waste. If this is the best of his Fatalities...then yeah, I'd be pissed.


Ouch my soul........Cyrax and Sektor both look beast!!!!

Even though they are simple designs, they are still great looking.

Karma is a powerful thing queve.......hahaha

Thinking about it, I would actually prefer if these two had different gameplay from the robot versions, like keeping the normals the same but giving them new specials. Sektor could still use chi fire based moves ect, basically slightly different characters but selected like Alt costumes...

The idea of Lin Kuei ninjas fighting with missiles and flamethrowers is just hard for me to like.

Well, on the other hand, you could also say that some fans have a certain blind devotion to a character that they cannot accept change. That they only want to see the character evolve the way they want him or her to evolve.

It's the same discussion about those people who dislike the change the storyline has turned. One thing is to say that some of the things are inconsistent to the original storyline, another thing is to completely disapprove of it simply because it's change.

Blindness has been a problem for some individuals, but when push comes to shove, the people who know more about the character and have analyzed them the most usually have the strongest reasons. That isn't universally true, but it's true more often than not.

The only time I've ever seen the blind fan perspective truly get out of hand was when Scorpion became the elder gods' champion. A huge handful of people just could not accept that Scorpion wasn't St. Anger for the billionth time.


This is called a cognitive bias. The people who agree with you are perfectly rational, whereas the people who disagree with you are being blind fanboys/ignorant newbies who like change for change's sake.

Good example: While intellectually I'm sure you actually good reasons for not liking THE CHANGE, I know for a fact my own cognitive bias causes me to automatically assume anyone who rages against CSZ is the aforementioned blind fanboy. I am neither saying, nor implying, that you are. I'm simple saying the gut reaction that my own cognitive bias causes me to have.

---

On topic, I'm pretty happy with my other main's human form.
This is a new game. These fighters play differently than they have in other iterations of the game. Try them all. Maybe you'll find a new favorite. If not, those other MKs still exist. No one is stopping you from playing those.
Don't fear change.

I know I sound like an ass but.



Cyrax is from AFRICA, the continent.


And the last thing he'd be is an "American", he's a ninja that lives in a temple probably deep in a chinese forest or something.

well until he got automated at least.

That's the worst part. They sub-planted Smoke's old and used storyline onto Sub-Zero just undo it in the next game, making the whole thing for absolutely nothing. The whole issue is just one giant step backwards.

Also, people are actively praising this idiocy, which is unbelievably frustrating. It's not like (rational) posters are praising the omission of Rain.


Spoilers: (Highlight to reveal)
No they didn't.

'Gets turned into Cyborg" =/= "Smoke's old storyline" it's the starting point. By the end of MK9 they've already diverged from that.


And you are the perfect example of one of the ACTUAL raving blind fanboys with a bad case of Cognitive Bias.

Well of course he doesn't like it, Sub-Zero is one of his favorite characters and If I remember correctly, sub-zero was the character he mained. I get annoyed with how badly Reptile gets screwed over in both design and story, so I can imagine exactly how Temp feels.

And this is coming from someone who kidna likes the idea of Cyber Sub.

The problem isn't not liking it. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and everyone is equally entitled to that opinion being respected if they can back it up. The problem comes from:

"Also, people are actively praising this idiocy,"

Basically saying that everyone else's opinion on the matter is wrong/stupid.

Ya i noticed that about reptile gettin kinda screwed with, especially in gameplay ive seen the person playing him dosent do shit and just gets worked haha Also i was kinda disappointed they went with the whole "creature from the black lagoon" look but once i saw his klassic alt i was kinda glad they went with a new look for his main. btw its still light years better than that rediculous joke of a godzilla look they gave him before in DA i think it was?

On the internet, it is positively impossible for people to accept or appreciate that other people like something they do not. If you like something "the internet at large" hates, just stay the fuck away from the reply button.

K, so I managed to track down the pics, seeing as how they're gone from here. Is it me, or does Cyrax look like a nod to Jax's original MK1 concept?
They need MK1/II style alt costumes too. DLC maybs?

The pics are still valid but i am not sure why they are displaying a "removed" thumbnail. If you click on them they will appear.
For those wondering about Human Cyrax's net, see those yellow balls on his belt? They're called bolos, a cord with weights at both ends designed to wrap around the target.

Or they're his bombs... ;P

Cyrax sure looks alot like Kai. And Sektor, Shang's lost brother. Hope the cyborgish attacks are well disguised with these alternates.
