Oh, I didn't know that. Thanx. I've never played MK:Special Forces. (Thank the Elder Gods).. But now it makes it more intriguing that he was never caught. How do u catch someone who can control the very ground right? (If they go the Earth-Bending route)

Signed.

Signed as well!


Id rather have 10 ninjas than 10 special forces!

Wow. Did 4000 people even play Special Forces? That's impressive.

Nope... But im guessing 4,000 people Googled him

Never heard of it, they must've seen him via the Vita version.

Very doubtful. It was so universally panned by critics I think even most MK fans passed on it. Ed himself even indicated it was a disastrous example of use for the MK license, and that he didn't like Special Forces at all.

In general, Tremor's only appeal is that he's a ninja. And that's it. None of these rabid Tremor fanatics see anything about him past the ninja mask and the brown color - brown is a color of ninja we haven't had yet, OMG HE NEEDZ TO BE IN! This has been a hot topic on these forums for 15 years. Only a handful of people who actually played Special Forces cared about him and have been advocating to have him in the regular game series for years. As time went on and the Moral Kombat fanbase began to grow in number, mostly with kids who weren't even alive when MK1 - MK4 were in arcades, the younger fans just saw another ninja that they wanted to play with. So now here we are 15 years later, 4000 people (probably consisting mostly 10 - 13 year olds) wanting yet another ninja in the game.

I can only imagine that these same people who want Tremor in the game are probably the same ones that b*tch and moan about the fact that Ermac and Reptile don't look like ninjas anymore.

"MOAR NINJERZ! TREMOAR!" -- 4000 idiots who signed that petition.

This is why I cannot ever respect the MK fanbase...no matter how much NRS does to change the fabric of the game and take it in new directions, you always have the idiots that obsess over garbage throwaway characters like Tremor.

Zaaaaaammmnnn. Can't believe u actually took the time and effort to write, all, that, hate. U should try to get Laid more often. U might find that u won't be so passionate about such trivial things anymore.

I personally prefer the non-ninja version of Ermac, and I love all of the Reptile versions. I like that we don't know why his appearance isn't consistent. It's one of the only appealing mysteries in MK at this point.

Also, your initial statement is simply false. "In general, Tremor's only appeal is that he's a ninja. And that's it." No, it isn't. Don't put words in other peoples' mouths. It's rude. If you took the time to read even half of the posts in this thread, you'd see that Tremor has backstory involving both the Lin Keui and the Black Dragon, and he moveset would occupy a field of moves no other character even overlaps with, save for Jax's ground pound (and it's very easy to make their ground pounds substantially different and unique). Don't be a tool.

Time and effort? It barely took 90 seconds to write.

And LOL at the dig about getting laid. It's funny you went there...usually, it's people who suffer the same situation you are accusing me of that project that feeling onto others, so...sorry to hear about that for ya, kiddo.

Also ironic that you tell me I shouldn't be so passionate about trivial things, when this thread is dedicated to the dipshits who obsess over the most trivial and pointless character in MK history...

How is it that for one of the shittiest characters with the least appearance time of any, so many great fan arts are created?!?!

Wrong. Tremor's appeal isn't that he's a ninja, in fact I'd say it'd be better if he didn't look like one, and went with the gritty new look MKX has. His appeal is that he's unique and could have a lot of unique moves that would fit right in with Mortal Kombat.

Have we ever had someone that could conjure rocks, metals, and the like? No...

Think of the special moves.

Think of the Fatalities.

Tremor could be an interesting character with an interesting backstory and a fun moveset. He hasn't been in a Mortal Kombat before as a playable character.

And if at this moment you still want him to stay out, then you can bitch over the fact that people want Hydro. I don't know why, Hydro isn't really unique. He's basically just like Glacius.

I agree that a character controlling earth elements like rocks, soil, stone, metals is unique and the ninja part is actually holding him back. I'm sure NRS understands too many ninjas is just stupid and bland as much as we do.
The stones look has not been used often, only some DC comics had this giant freak made of stone, but you can make a really original looking character out of Tremor. NRS does not agree though. Sometimes I think they are stuck in a creative bubble and need some fresh blood. They have been so uncreative, it's not even funny.

I agree. Could you imagine this in Mortal Kombat, but with the grace and speed of a Lin-Kuei Assassin?

Boon just basically de-confirmed him by saying to a guy who mentioned the petition was reaching 5000 'uh oh, so you guys are serious then?'

He wouldn't be paying them attention at all if he wasn't interested. He's implying they're going to have to do it. Tremor is happening.

Let's not get too hasty.

Who is Tremor anyway? He wasn't made by the MK team was he?

"I do remember having big plans for Tremor, but when I conceived him, he wasn't a member of the Black Dragon. He was a Lin Kuei hired as muscle by a mad man who was trying to open a gateway between Earth and Outworld." - John Tobias

I never knew about this fan made game, still unreleased, but seems hella cool with 22 hit combos and Tremor using the ground:

Check out the video guys for potential moves ;) Learn to love Tremor!

Yes, let's ignore all the repeated hints about Tremor on Boon's twitter over the months and only focus on the fan petition.
