To me, personally, it doesn't matter. If it matters to you, then it matters to you. But personally, it doesn't matter if two characters has a similar move... Whether it's performed differently or not, it really doesn't make a difference.

Shang Tsung's fireballs looks so similar to Liu Kang's fireball, despite he blasts it three times, he still had an ability to shoot just one out in MK3...

Scorpion and Smoke had the spear/harpoon yet you guys LOVE Smoke... Does it make a difference? Nope.

If it bothers you, it bothers you, but me it doesn't. We had Sub-Zero and Classic Sub-Zero in a game, both had similar moves, yet did it make a difference? No because I played both characters.

Ermac and Kenshi had similar moves (I'm not saying they had the same moves but similar) but did it make a difference? No, becuase I still played both characters.

So, that's my point.

Icebaby,
I agree with you

He stole that "play dead" animation from Smoke and it'd be better staying a Smoke move...or even better, give it to Noob Saibot instead, since he actually IS dead, so it's thematically appropriate for him to be doing the whole "cross arms over chest and lie down like in a coffin" thing.


Does it really matter? Technically it wasn't the same move because Subby uses ice to teleport not smoke. Plus that move was super awesome and it was very helpful so why not have it? Their all Mortal Kombat characters so their bound to share some moves.

you also said, "Kitana maybe? But her MK vs DCU special moves were one time only since they were stolen from Mileena and Jade anyway.."

Don't forget Kitana also had her teleport special in MK Armageddon, not just in MKVSDCU. So I wouldn't be surprised if she still has it in MK9. Enough with the whole, OMG he stole this move, she stole this move!

Sub-zero and Scorpion are way to similar?! are you kidding me! No their not, their completely different!

i think the mk team can come up with alot of moves Sub-Zero. I always wondered, why sub never had that ice power move he had in the first mk movie where he creates this big ice globe? i think that would be a very nice super move in the video game. anyone else agree. oh, they should also bring back Scorps fire breath move from mk4

i too personally like the thombstone move subzero used in mk vs dc. but at the same time i didnt for the same reasons. its not a plausable move for him i can see rain jumping out of a puddle of water when they gave him as his teleportation move in armageddon but i dont see subzero rising from the ground. just didnt like it. so i hope it doesnt return.

now saving moves for lil sub im hoping he gets ice shaker from DA or the sort of unique slide he has when he shoulder slams into his apponent from DA-A. and i hope they give the ice clone and regular slide to his older brother. then again since (and im not trying to start this topic in this thread im just saying) one of the possibilties of this game is younger sub becomes the third cyborg and smoke stays human. im not even sure how ice powers would even factor in to his skill set. but we dont even know if that will happen.

I don't mind if characters share moves, but there has to be a an explanation. If said explanation exists, and the move functions differently than the other character's version, then I'm gravy.

I'm actually hoping Smoke has a trident. It doesn't have to be a stun move. It could be a command throw, projectile, or be used in the same manner as Sub's Kori blade.

you can't say that it's "technically" different because Sub-Zero's uses ice and Smoke's uses smoke.

That's like giving Sub-Zero the spear move used by Scorpion, but having it made out of wood. Technically it's different because Sub-Zero uses a wooden chain and Scorpion uses a metal chain.

There are an endless amount of ideas, there is no reason for sharing.

I honestly feel as if the MK developers are making Subzero pretty similar to Scorpion, why is he able to teleport????? what r they going to do next, give subzero a spear, please eliminate his teleport and make these ninjas unique in their own way


The idiocy of this place amazes me.

Scorpion and Sub-Zero's "teleports" are nothing alike.
Scorpion's teleport attacks, while Sub-Zero is nothing but an evasive maneuver.
And I'm not gonna bother explaining how the animation is not the same either.

You talk about copying teleportation, but how about Scorpion setting himself on fire? You might as well bitch how he's ripping off Sub-Zero's "Ice Shaker" since it affects the opponent if they touch them.

I can care less if Sub-Zero has a "teleport" in this game, because I'll just simply won't use it unless he can Ice Clone afterwards like his MKvsDC Pro Move. If not, it's useless, like every other teleport a character has if you can't immediately attack afterwards.

I just wish this whole teleport stuff was completely non-canon and only made for game-play tactics. All these explanations about teleports and everything else is what ruins MK imo. It is what it is, but sometimes i wish there wasn't too much sci-fi. Not every character should have chi energy like its DBZ, imo thats cheesy. But since there's a reason for everything in MK......bleh.


go and play DOA or Tekken ,MK is about special energy attacks and super powers.

Almost everyone in MKvsDCU had a teleport. I doubt we'll be seeing it again in game play.

Heh, can't even counter my argument so it uses a movie reference as a piss poor attempt of an insult.

Never try that again.

It makes you seem even more of a fucking retard than you come off.

What's next? "....Your mom" jokes?
