I think Cyber Sub Zero is a cool idea


There is my counter argument because its my opinion. "Everyone knows Cyber Sub-Zero is a bad idea" is such an ignorant statement to make because what you are basically saying is "my opinion is right and yours is wrong"

No, it is not a matter of opinion. "Crime and Punishment" is better than "Cat in the Hat." "Stairway to Heaven" is better than "Achy Breaky Heart." These are not opinions but measures of artistic value. If everything was a matter of opinion, than all artistic value is null and every standard of aesthetics is arbitrary.

The "that's my opinion" defense works with the flavor of strawberries, or favorite colors. It doesn't work with art. Otherwise, if I drew a half-assed tree on a bathroom wall, than it's no better or worse than the Mona Lisa. That's insanity. Everyone knows it. "That's my opinion" is not a defense for bad writing, which Cyber-Sub happens to be.

The more I think about it...I don't want to play MK:DA-MK:A again. I'm glad that they're changing at least something

However, a 2D representation of MK4 would be pretty sick, though it would be damn lame on the character side of things if they didn't mix some shit up storyline-wise.

So yeah, change is good.
I call shenanigans on this "leak". I don't buy any of it. It's amusing that so many people are already treating it as fact instead of speculation, though.
Cyber Sub-Zero? Seriously?
I'm just looking forward to the demo and any OFFICIAL news before the release.

People are complaining for nothing, really, if Cy-Zero is indeed real he will pose no threat to the canon, or to Sub-Zero as a character.

NRS is not stupid and knows that changing an iconic character so much will generate a great backlash.

Noob is still Noob, and Sub-Zero is still Sub-Zero, and will remain Sub-Zero until the end of times. I remember when people were worried about the whole older Sub-Zero remaining Sub-Zero and the younger brother dying, it was proven to be false and no changes were made to the storyline, do you people really think a change so drastic like this will take place in the storyline?

Yes you are correct. Everything is a matter of a opinion and the only opinion that matters is your own.

See, that's the root of the problem. You already think MK is ridiculous, so you have no problem allowing stupid ideas such as Cyber Sub-Zero.

Have fun with your "There's no such thing as bad ideas" philosophy. I'm sure it will serve you well.

It matters not just because it's MY opinion but because it has the backing of reason. The cyborg storyline has already been done before, and now it's being projected onto a character who already had a sound story. Cyber Sub-Zero is an unoriginal dead end.

Opinions by themselves are worthless unless they reflect truth somehow. They're not all created equal.

Go play as someone else?

How if cyber subby(assuming he's both real AND cannon) eliminates the current character? Some of you are forgetting that this could potentially eliminate Sub from the NEXT MK game(which most likely not happen).

The concern here isn't about adding another character, it's about replacing one. An important one.

MOST OF THE PEOPLE IN THIS THREAD ARE A TAD FURIOUS AND THEIR BACKSIDES ARE IN PAIN, CONFIRMING THAT THEY ARE INDEED A TAD FURIOUS.

And I do not have sufficient evidence nor thoughtful conversation skills to back up the points represented by my opinion, so I shall continue to state that these people are feeling pain in their gluteus maximus and are unhappy, and I shall laugh in what I think is triumph due to this.

Im 50/50 about whether or not the list is real. If it is, personally, I'd be upset, but I'll still go along for the ride.

For now, I'll just read all the comments were everyone is pretending that they not only care, but also think that using any memes from 4chan are actually remotely close to being funny.

Listen, if you guys really think all opinions are equal, and your opinion can't be wrong because it's "your opinion," you're a lost cause. There's nothing left to be said. Your teachers seriously wronged you growing up.

But if I'm wrong about Cyber Sub-Zero, it's because the argument beneath my opinion is wrong. If you pro-Cyber peeps are right about Cyber Sub-Zero, it's because the underlying arguments beneath your opinions are correct. This "no opinoin can be wrong" attitude is bullshit and it's an excuse not to think. That's all "U Mad" really means: "I don't feel like thinking, so I posted this instead."

And you're making this assessment based on what criteria of artistic evaluation?

Until you see the concept implemented you have absolutely 0 ground to stand on BESIDES your opinion. It is your OPINION that a story featuring a Cyborg SubZ is inherently inferior to one that does not. It is your OPINION because you have no other basis.

You're worse than the people who thought Picasso's art was trash, at least they'd actually SEEN seen it before having their knee-jerk reaction.

This thread has turned into a circus....while I do think this is funny in an outrageous way..I still fail ot understand how switching the roles of Smoke and Sub-zero is some type of dynamic twist, it's tantamount to making Johnny Cage the chosen one/Shaolin mon and making Liu Kang the movie star/comedy relief guy, the role reversal just doesn't seem like it would change anything and in the end the same goals are accomplished. Of course, I would imagine that this "Cyber-Zero" is a what if kind of cool easter egg character, which I'm hoping he is, that would be amazing, as opposed to just flip flopping their stories and throwing younger Subbie off from his epic story...hmm.
