I kinda hope they change the character select to something like this so that they have 28 slots to fit in all the MK 1-3 fighters. Ignore the names, they were my old predictions.





I would like to see the select page as horizontal instead of vertical like it was in Deception.

If you wanna be technical. You can't be "racist" against them all, because Edenians are a species, and not a race.

How is making something better a detriment?

Better? You mean, better by taking the place of character who would both been tournament playable AND would have been able to further expand the MK mythology? By creating a meta-fictional tone during the gameplay, screwing up what should be a dark, mystic, and colorful atmosphere?

I've typed these responses so many times now. How many times do we have to have this argument?


If the 360 doesn't have any extra MK characters, and Kratos is in the PS3 version...he didn't take place of any MK characters. Boon has stated that Kratos never took the place of any character, all the characters in the game are the ones they wanted in it. You are simply ASSUMING he took the place of a character, yet you weren't part of the development process or planning, so you have zero proof of your accusations. Besides, anyone who they possibly didn't have time for, or aren't meant to be in the official game but just extra, are always DLC possibilities.

The argument about tournament play is a bit premature, considering you have no idea whether he will be or not. You are just ASSUMING he will be unbalanced, yet you have no real proof of this.

The ONLY people so far that I have seen actually get upset over this and make a big deal about Kratos, are the extreme diehard MK fans who look at MK in a light it has never been in. They treat MK as a game that takes itself seriously. They look at it as a game that is meant to be all about it's roots and never willing to branch out for fun. They look at it as a game that is meant just for the core fans, and never tries to appeal to mass audiences. This is YOUR vision of MK, yet it's never actually been that way. MK has always been a humorous game with lots of jokes and dark humor to lighten the mood a bit. It's always branched out for fun with things like Chess Kombat, Motor Kombat, Puzzle Kombat, Pong, Friendships, Babalities, and other MK characters appearing in games like NFL Blitz, Sci: Ops, Unreal Tournament, NBA Jam etc. as well as the crossover with DC superheroes.

The fans take MK way more seriously and selfishly than the MK creators do. They think MK is above everything. They treat MK as if it's beyond guest characters, fun joke modes, silly antics, and crossovers. Yet the MK team has ALWAYS included that type of stuff both subtle and the obvious. Any interview they have given, has pointed out they love the idea of all this sorts of zany madness and the idea of MK mixed with other stuff be it other fighting franchises or other silly types of games.

I digress...My point is, certain hardcore fans think of MK as something that it has never been: A serious game with no humor or fun elements just for the hell of it. With things like Friendships, Pong, Animalities, Babalities, Silly Fatalities, Mokap, Chess Kombat, Motor Kombat, Puzzle Kombat, Crossovers, Characters in other games...why the HELL do certain people have such a hard time accepting Kratos as a simple guest character? The only reasons you have, are your own assumptions with no proof or facts backing them.

Because MK is so big on the tourney scene. I'm sure his presence will totally be the reason MK2011 doesn't make EVO.

AND would have been able to further expand the MK mythology?


To be fair, this is why I think it's a shame that Kratos isn't being incorporated into the story.

screwing up what should be a dark, mystic, and colorful atmosphere?


It's still all of those things. Just with an extra dude.


I've typed these responses so many times now. How many times do we have to have this argument?


Hopefully just once.

Edit: Oh. I thought you were someone else for a second, Grime. Sorry if I came off harsh, since truthfully, I never HAVE had this argument with you yet.

Where did I say you called him ignorant?

There's nothing more pathetic than some idiot calling others a moron and telling them to read when he's the one who seemingly doesn't have a clue what he's replying to. Especially when that guy is you, one of the biggest wastes of space on the board.


Lol, kid. I don't even know how to tell you how fucking dumb you are. When I directly call a group of people, racists, ignorant and you question "durr what ignorance?", you have clearly lack understanding of a simple statement.

And quit with your bullshit "race card". I'm white. I'm not playing any cards. You're offended because someone took something the wrong way, and I understood why he took it the way he did. How does any fucking soul on this planet find THAT offensive? And especially enough to bark the bullshit that you're throwing out.

You coin me as a waste of space on this forum. You, my idiot inbred, are a waste of space on this earth.


You being a sad, sick, pathetic race card playing idiot who can't read the posts he's replying to doesn't make anyone else dumb.

You accused me of saying you called him ignorant. I didn't.
You're so full of ignorant BS yourself, you can't even read what you're replying to then you accuse others of that very same thing.

Do you even realise what a ridiculous hypocrite you look?

You have long established yourself as one of the most ignorant people on this board - a total waste of human flesh and today's pathetic rant just adds to that reputation.

You start by making some stupid race-card playing accusation that any normal person sees as ridiculous. Then you make an idiot of yourself accusing people of things they haven't said. Then you tell people to read posts when you clearly haven't yourself.

You calling someone else inbred has about as much weight as Sarah Palin calling someone else mind-blowingly stupid.

Keep your ignorant, offensive, stupid, race card playing mentality to yourself, learn to read what you're replying to and save your pathetic diatribes for 4chan, which is clearly where you belong, kid.

Race debate is still raging....seriously it could be taken either way, instead of being mad at a different interpretation, just realize that people interpret things differently.

@ MKBooted it is possible that two normal, sane people can read the same statement at the same time and still come to completely different conclusions, it's not that much of a stretch of the imagination.

Might as well take it to PM instead of derailing the thread over it.



On topic: I'm hoping Jade incorporates her staff into her combos, that was one of my favorite aspects of her character.

Depends on the mentality of the person. With people who look for racism in any comment about skin colour etc, there's not much you can do with them.

We live in an age now where if anyone mentions race or skin tone etc, there is always some jerk ready to play the race card. Gets really tiring.

... So...

Now that Goro and Shao Kahn have been confirmed as "not selectable", I hope this means Motaro and Kintaro have a better chance of appearing as unplayable bosses too! I don't actually mind them not being playable, as long as the appear in the game/arcade ladder.
