Depends on how you look at it.......positive if he sells well because thats more money for NRS to make more DLC, and negative because its not an MK character.

A new low for the MK series. Freddy Krueger is the last straw, with me. I am done with MK. Vogel has been writing MK as if it were so self parody of itself. I can't take it seriously anymore in terms of the whole mythos that John Tobias such set up, and the thing that most MK know about series that his game did so well at destroying.


John Vogel has been slowly killing the MK mythos since MK: Deception to present. Everything from making Noob Sub's brother, Mileena born a few hours ago, Sektor and Cyrax working for Shang bullshit, Nightwolf at MK1 and far more.

I somewhat liked MK 2011's game play, but at the same time I would have liked a NEW game play engine. The more I play MK 2011's game play engine, which is

MK1-MKT ground gamplay: Sweeps, air combat, and uppercuts work the same as they did in MK1-MK4.
- UMK3 chain combo from air attacks.

- MK2011 has Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance's juggle system. 3 pop attack rule. The 3rd will knock down on the ground.

- The MK team rehashing MK1,MK2, MK3/UMK3,MKT, for 7 LONG years.

MK2011 gameplay plays too much like last gen, when it comes to combos, but much "lite" in the length of chains. I would have preferred shorter combos in UMK3. At the same time I HATE the amount of special moves MK2011 has. I am sick of all the wimp Raiden, Ermac, Rain, Kenshi, Scorpion,, and people who hide behind all their special moves or hoping to land that one hit to chain with their broken combos. I wish could be more of technical fighter that puts FAR more interest in hand to hand fighting, . That this one of the many reasons I loved about MK Deadly Alliance, sure it wasn’t a technical fighter , but at least it put emphasis one up close and personal fighting.



Mortal Kombat needs to get serious again in both storyline and game play. The X-ray meter, too many special moves, and semi MK Deadly Alliance combo and juggle .The MK team needs to stop rehashing old stuff, like they have been going, since Deception. Also, created a NEW fighting engine, gear toward hand to hand fighting, with little amount of special moves. Also get someone who can do John Tobias work justice, and have that is MK2011’s storyline ( Kitana, Jade, Mileena’s girl power bullshit). Also their personality chances which fit their characters at all. The all powerful and all knowing Raiden doesn’t tell Scorpion or Sub-Zero what really happen to their families to AFTER they could have been more helps. I could go on and go.

MK 2011 could have been good, only if it had to balls to stand on its own and created something totally new, instead trying to combine 2 game play concepts and rehashing stages for 3rd time in the row.

I am done with Mortal Kombat. Store credit toward Dead Island.

this is great, i love Freddy and I'M BOUT TO BREAK THE FUCK OUT

Fact is-

If you can survive MK VS DC then you can survive one fucking DLC guest character.

It wouldn't be so controversial if there was an option included to include or not include guest characters.

You all let me know when you've shoved your heads out of your asses.

I'm going to be celebrating Freddy, while celebrating Yoshimitsu, Poison, Hugo, Cody, and Guy for SF x Tekken.

And before any of you compare: SF x T is a NEW game. MK9 has been out for several of months. SF x T is allowed to have new, awesome additions. I'm not entirely happy about Cole from INFamous being included, but you don't see me crying about it.

And to be honest, I was 100x excited for the reveal of Stryker in this game.

Exactly what I was thinking.

Actually, now that I think about it, Freddy is a better choice than most of the so-called MK characters that aren't already in the game.

Hell, even fucked up remake Freddy with inexplicable double gloves is better than Bo' Rai Cho or Hsu Hao.

well said.

I know that I was never promised four MK characters. That's why I said I was dumb enough to buy the summer pass before seeing the 4th character. I'm well aware that it's on me. If you check any of my recent posts that speculate on who it could be, I thought that the fact that they were having a reveal like this probably meant that it was a guest character. I just don't like who it turned out to be and after watching the video, I'm not even remotely impressed with his design from the look to the moves to the fatalities.

Also, just on an aside, and not directed at Zyflol, but I love how so many people on this site are now seemingly trying to bait the people that aren't happy about this. Like they're reveling in others displeasure because they're more mature, or above it, or whatever these high and mighty people seem to think.

Guess what?

Not everyone has to like this and when people don't like something that the MK team does, well, this message board is where people are choosing to sound off. When did it become a crime to rant a little about something like this?

When MKvsDC was first announced, there was a storm on this site the likes of which I'd never seen before, but then there were also the people that felt the need to point and laugh for some reason.

It doesn't make people seem infantile just because they want to complain. But whatever, haters gonna hate, and haters gonna hate those haters, I guess, just don't go thinking you're better than someone else because they're mad and feel the need to show it and you're not.

Bravo sir!
Seriously some of you people are acting as if NRS just announced MK vs DC2 or MK vs 80's Horror Slashers.
It's one character. Would think you would be happy after you got Rain, oh well.

This is the part where Icebaby steps out of the darkness and decapitates you.

Those of you 'abandoning' the MK series,

Good. You probably never had any faith in it to begin with if THIS is the last straw. Let alone, if it's a straw at all.

Excellent point.

But don't remind me of that game ever again...

I think Freddy is cheesy... (Just my opinion) He may grow on me but i feel that all characters should be from MK universe. I Would have rather had Bo rai Cho, Nitara or reiko

you "mk fans"
are starting to sounded like
capcom fans!

CUT THAT THE fuck out!
its making me sick

and fuck
fucking fake ass unmasked sub-zero/ shao khan!

complaining about MEANING-LESS SHIT

FEDDY IS A KLASSIC HORROR VILLIAN!
TANYA & REIKO are the another colour swapped ninjas!
was suppose to noob in mk4
and that black bitch tanya is bascally a fire katana who hates jade

WB put Freddy in MK not John Vogel ..... WB said Freddy is going in, here John, make a story that fits him.

Why is this concept so hard to understand ? I really though the majority of people on this board were like mature , and smart, and knew the gaming business ......

How would you like if every time the company you worked for made an executive choice that costumers didn't like , they just ran to you like your personally made that choice.

Grow up !

Derp. I'm gonna call you names because you guys don't agree with me and you won't be doing what I'm doing.



Oh MKO you so silly.

Hell yeah XD never guessed he would be the 4th guest character. i asked for Freddy and IT so im getting Freddy for sure

Can't really pull anymore names out of the top of my head, but I know there is a ton more I would prefer more than him. It's not that I wanted a MK character, I wanted a GOOD guest character.

Freddy Krueger our worst nightmare? Apparently someone hasn't met Johnny Cage.

he does have a valid point....

Hahahaha. You fanboys are rediculous. It's a fucking EXTRA character. Don't like him? Don't buy him. And dear God don't whine about him. You're just punishing the rest of us when you do that.

And if you purchased the 4-Pack expecting all MK characters, you are naive. I read something from Ed a few months ago saying that they would most likely have another guest character. You guys got greedy and NOMd at any MK thing you saw and now you're unhappy. Actually I shouldn't say that your only unhappy "Now". I'm sure if you're bitching now you've bitched before.

Bottom line: You paid for something not knowing what it was, and now you're complaining that it isn't what you wanted. Yup. Naive was accurate.
Have a nice life, suckers.

hey frost really youre done with mk cause of freddy smh man just dont download him thats all

someone call J-Spit

haha freddys a PEDOBEAR

It's indeed very sad, no?
