This MK is finally a game in the series with some really good gameplay, good storyline and a solid roster. Fans of other more serious fighting games have actually praised this game for the boost in the right direction.

Putting Freddy Krueger in as DLC shows that NRS doesn't even support their own game. They are selling out. They piss all over the integrity and don't even respect their own creation.


maybe they, ya know, like gory horror flicks.


nah, someone who makes extremely bloody video games likes violent horror movies? impossibru!

If I worked at NRS and someone said "dude we should put jason in" i'd try my best to get that to happen. because I like gore, and I like guest characters, and I know a lot of fans do too.

Props. Today, I'm embarrassed to be an MK fan - not out of this choice of DLC character, but just from reading this thread.

Hell with it. Half a year from now, most of these people won't be posting here anyway. This shitstorm will die down, just as it did with Kratos.


I'm going to faithfully believe in those words Shadaloo, because I feel the same way.

Again, Soul Calibur.

Link, Heihachi, Spawn, fuckin' YODA.

People don't judge Soul Calibur because of the guest characters.

I'd rather see every horror monster ever made be DLC before they ever put fucking useless characters from the 1995-2007 era back into this game.

Don't pull out the selling out card. You should be happy Mortal Kombat is selling at ALL.

75% of the whiners will buy him anyways.



Doesn't matter.


Like I was saying, I hope they get really crazy with his moves and I hope he gets an invisibility move for no reason just like smoke and reptile. They are practically useless unless you use EX but I love them.

That wasn't an inquiry into your gender. That was me telling you to shut the fuck up. All I've seen from you in this thread is you acting like NRS ran over a pussy instead of plowing yours. You can take this dumped prom queen bullshit back to the dumpster you were raised in.

You wanna talk about not having respect for people who support this decision? I sure do bet that the peope who support Freddy being in this game are distraught now because Jaded "NRS left me and I'm pregnant and ugly" Raven doesn't respect them. They're killing themselves over the lack of respect from someone they don't know. I don't even know you. I just followed the trail of blood back to your vagina and found you.

So do us all a favor and take the stick out of your ass, and stick your crying over this up there instead.

Oh shit, I made a period joke. Hope icebaby doesn't read this and pop another blood vessel. On that topic:

Unlike MK, Soul Calibur has always had a solid gameplay - THAT's why SC is respected, even with all the guest characters.

Yes! This is what I think too. I see it as a good thing now. Freddy is likely to make them a lot of money which greatly increases the chance of additional DLC characters later this year...

Ok, so I'm going on record saying that I don't think Freddy fits, and I was really hoping for another actual MK kharacter. This is disappointing, but what's done is done. Can't be helped now. I just won't be buying him.


Also....Freddy traumatized me severely as a kid. That might have something to do with it. (though it might be why I had a strange love of violence at a young age....still, fucking Freddy made it so I couldn't sleep for weeks as an 8-year-old)

And yeah, like other people have said, this pretty much guarantees that we'll be getting more DLC.

So it's win/win.

Except for the people who have a stick up their ass about Mortal Kombat's purity.

At least Freddy isn't fuckin' Bo' Rai Cho.

I especially like the part where everything else is for the fans, but the guest characters are evil money grabs by WB.

fail on MKO, you are truly a blight on the pantheon of fandom.


I'm not going to go to war with you for the umpteenth time, but I simply ask you to look at it this way:

Skarlet, Kenshi, and Rain are far more likely to appeal to MK fans as DLC because they are MK characters, and there was a certain amount of demand for Rain and I suppose Kenshi as well. Skarlet was sort of a dream come true for people who wanted them to realize the Ermac-like occurrence in MK2. Thus, WB/NRS decided to appease Mortal Kombat fans by making these characters available, because MK fans will gladly pay for material that suits their interests, even if the game was totally incomplete without Rain in the first place. I don't mind because I'll pay for whatever DLC appeals to me.

Now, Freddy is a different case. We all may be MK fans, but not all of us are Freddy fans. Also, I think we can agree that the majority of the fans of Freddy who aren't MK fans will not be willing to drop the $60, plus tax, plus $5 more just to control Freddy in a fighting game when they care little about the source material. Could it breed new MK fans? Absolutely. Those fans would then buy more products, which cost, that's right, money. So that's why some say this is a money grab. That's all.

Ban me for mentioning about how I don't like people using the "Got PMS" for a comeback all becuase we think someone is a tad bit mad, wouldn't that mean I would be banned for saying an opinion, even though I wouldn't even have done anything anyways becuase I know how to be mature on the internet?

Now back to discussing Freddy.....




I wonder if he has any secret moves, or illusion like moves.


I hope he has some sort of special attack that randomizes the opponents attacks and moves for a short period of time.


Like Noob's enhanced disabler? Only if it's the enhanced version, I hate that move.

I'm sure Freddy does, he's a notrious trickster, I was expecting him to have some type of "dream" attack that stuns them and sets them up for a free hit.

If Freddy doesn't fit, then no guest character ever will.

So by those standards, you cannot judge a guest on their "fitting" criteria.

Okay, one last comment...

You know why gamers don't take Mortal Kombat seriously? Because of things like this. NRS is making a mockery of their own creation. If they can't take the game seriously, then how is anyone else going to take it seriously?

Think about it... Mortal Kombat will remain a joke of a game if NRS keeps this up.


I totally disagree with you. They're not making a joke of the game. What they're doing is trying to draw a bigger crowd. A horror crowd at that.
Soul Caliber and Street Fighter has had guest characters consistently. Characters like Spawn, Link, Darth Vader, Yoda, and now Freddy Krueger. Don't get me started on Super Smash Bros. and Marvel vs Capcom.
Snake vs Mario lol
Think about all the DLC MK stuff we got so far. Retro costumes, a rumor character, Rain! Now we're getting unmasked Sub-Zero and maybe Cyber-Smoke. NRS is really trying hard for all the MK fans. You need to recognize!

And from my understanding thats what this game was supposed to be about..nostalgia and fan service. I don't understand how Freddy plays into that and other MK characters do not. I don't remember an outpouring of desire for Freddy and I've been playing since MK1 was in arcades. When did this happen ? Everyone always talked about MK vs. Street Fighter or KI or other fighting game characters. Don't remember anyone saying Freddy. Maybe thats just around where I live though..

Fanboys can be such spoilt brat crybabies.

You got three MK characters already, and this is completely optional. If you don't want it, don't buy it. Either way, you aren't losing out on a MK character.

Personally I was hoping against a guest character but the trailer sold me on this. Freddy looks fucking badass (much better than Rain, who was pretty dissapointing). I only wish they hadn't given away both his fatalities in full already.

Just what I feared. He had to be based off the newer version instead of the true Freddy. Fucking Hollywood and their goddamn remakes.

On a positive note, his fatalities are great.

raven, you shouldnt 'lose respect' for people that support freddy in this game. however, if someone is a complete douche and immature about it, whether they support it or not, THEN you can lose respect for them. not like respect matters on the internet :P

i really dont care whether its a guest character or a 'pure' mk character as dlc. if they look fun, i'll get them. if not, i wont. its just a game, its meant to be fun. freddy looks like he'll be fun to play as, so i'll get him. will i main him? doubt it. will i demand he be included in the next game's story mode? no way in hell.

as i said, this is a game, and thats all it is. dont disrespect someone because they have differing opinions to yours, or because they support a guest character.
