Have any of you played Soul Calibur 3? If so, you are probably acquainted with the idea of having guest characters appear in fighting games. But although Lord Vader and Yoda seemed way too much out of place, I think Kratos is the best choice out of any other franchises.

Not sure what people are seeing in Kratos thats broke.

Nearest I can tell he's got

Arrow Shot - 2 shots, or ex 3 delayed shots, which may be good, but any of the teleport / reflectors can punish.
Shoulder charge - Same as subby / reptile slide
Helios stun - sindel scream, cyrax net, etc
Parry launcher - liu kang
Slow mo launcher - looks like kitana's b+2 with some add ons, probably same as superman's breath links and probably not as valuable as doing a real juggle off the b2.
QTE - Connects off a forward stab, functionally identical to Kabal's swing grab. Looks like it has an EX flash in the vid, so normal one probably isn't even multipart.
XRay - Connects off a long range slice and doesn't look like it has followups (unless they somehow stay standing after a tiger glove to the face).

He does look cool as hell and I'm officially jealous, but competitively Liu, Kabal, Noob, Scorpion, Ermac, and Johnny all look way more broken than he does.


Indeed. He seems extremely balanced and tame in my opinion compared to all the junk you can do with him in his 2D fight against Zues in GOW3. Not posting that video because of the spoilers.

Ermac looks a lot like havik to me. Maybe it is actually an alt for Noob and not ermac lol. You never see him use any moves so who knows!

Isn't there a stage fatality on kratos' stage. If there is do you think he just throws them in the flame of olympus in th background?

His X-Ray is cool just simply because it features elements from the GoW games (such as that lion Hercules thing).

But yeah, it is (overall) not as impressive as others. Still, a very cool decent X-Ray that fits the character and manages well on its own.

He looks fun to play with, but im not really impressed by his combos.

Also i dont think he wil be that overpowerd, sure, he looks brutal, but thats what the video is for. His stage is pretty awesome, I wonder if it has a stage fatality.

Ermacs alt looks indeed very cool to me.

Gotta admit, dead-set as I am against him being in, he does look like a ton of fun to play.

lol @ the QTE.

Ermac's alt looks good. Need to really see it with more detail, though.

And here, I make the first request for a Taigore plushie figure.

IDK. I played about 4000 matches online and I didn't find the StarWars characters were too terribly broken. Yoda was super irritating, and yes, his stature "broke" the fighting engine, but I wouldn't call him so overpowered that he was broken. Now Hilde's doom combo and Algol's bubble shield, that's broken.

And I didn't think of the clone characters. I guess I just considered them more as examples of the CAS feature. Every custom character though was a clone. I thought that was a good idea, because it kept the game balanced. I just wish they'd have added a few extra fighting styles like they did in 3. Actually, if 3 would have just had 4's superior graphics and fighting engine, I would probably still be playing it. I hope 5 follows it's path, rather than being a sequel to 4.

Actually, both Ermac and Noob Saibot remind me (a lot) of our glorious Havik.

They clearly took inspiration from Havik's MKD costume:


Well, I think Havik was originally a model for Noob.

Casual gamers done know nor do they care who Jade, Sindel and Ermac are. They know who Kratos is and want to see him kicking ass. They see Kratos they might buy the game. They see Jade, Sindel or Ermac and they continue to not care


By that logic, Harry Potter should be a guest character. Think of the millions of copies they'd sell.


Harry Potter would have most definitely been the most amazingly epic super awesome beyond sexy guest character ever.

Harry Potter kicks Kratos butt easily.

And so does Lara Croft.

LOL. grin

You mean 4, and yes, I may have played it a little. wink I agree Kratos fits better than most other characters would, but he still doesn't belong and I'd rather just have a pure MK. If xbox gets a really awesome game mode, I'm gonna be super pissed.
Not having to see Kratos and an extra mode? Now who's getting the preferential treatment?

I hope they make 2 online "worlds":

1- with Kratos

2- Kratos-free


You'll find me in the 2nd one.

::: ::: :::

Honestly, him using weapons all the time feels so out of place when you look at all the MK characters. It's like I'm watching Soul Calibur vs. Mortal Kombat.

Even though his ass is getting kicked, Ermac stole the show for me. The costume is neat.

Ermac's alternate looks very cool, he looks even more like a mystic in it, but I would have rolled with his MKD alternate costume, I thought that was sweet.


Shao Kahn's pet is delightful, makes me think of Motaro for some odd reason. I really like the throne room.


The Kratos' level is fancy, nice that they went with the Zeus temple or is it called Mt. Olympus?
