Post subject: Define a Character |
 |
| |
I think something that means more to me than Kreate of Character is Define a Character; or in other words, What is a character? By my definition, a Character is any entity within the MK game that can be controlled by the human. To those ends, we are missing 3 as far as I can see. Motaro has been confirmed, I think. If this is so, we are still missing Meat, Chameleon, and Khameleon. But, a lot of people see them as not really characters and not worth it. What I'm asking is why is a game that is supposed to have everyone saying now that it might have everyone but three? Missing three, even minor ones, is still not everyone. And, to me, they are characters. Because, once again, they are entities in the game that the human can control. Is that not the definition of a character? It is mine. And, as far as I can tell, MKA will have everyone besides these three. And, if we're lucky, Midway will come through in the end with flying colors and give of some version or another of these three.
I found an old magazine that talked about MKT and how nobody knew if Johnny would make the cut because of the sprite, "graphics," issue. But, Midway found a way around it and gave us Johnny and MKT was saved and truly did have every character from the previous games. I am still hoping Midway will come through again this time around; almost a decade later.

...Meat is NOT a character...with no storyline...just a result of a glitch fatality...so was Ermac and others though they were not considered characters until MK decided they were...no characters have been presented as Meat and I have therefore concluded...Meat is NOT a character...
...Khameleon and Chameleon were both characters...and by all means are welcome...the MK Krew would definitely come through for us if they decided to add them in...even as secrets...

He was an entity in the game that could be controlled by the human player. By that, my definition, he is a character. He was not a glitch, he was intended. Ermac was a glitch. I guess I need to redefine. “Any entity that is in any Mortal Kombat Video Game that is intended to be there by the creators of Mortal Kombat and is able to be controlled in Kombat by the Human Player in Indeed a Character whether the Kombat be traditional or Unorthodox.” That is my definition of a Character.

...I disagree...you are much more of a console follower...I am much more of a storyline follower...Meat is non-canon...therefore he is not a character in my eyes...
...and technically he is not his own character as well...only whatever character that was originally intended...without skin...

I do not pretend not to fallow console or story. He is by my definition a character. A character doesn't have to have a story, he just has to exist. Truly, that is all Blaze did for five games. Not even Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance gave him much of a story. And he's still seen as a character. Shang Tsung was never a real character either. All he did on his own for the first three games where fire balls. Shang Tsung's power was he could morph into anyone else. Meat's power was that he was what was underneath everyone. Just as vital a game-play mechanic in that respect as Shang Tsung.

...because they made Blaze a character...even in Alliance he was a playable character with moves of his own...and a background to run by...therefore giving him the purpose of a story...
...though Meat was never used by the MK Krew as a canon character...with moves or a background...
...Meat is just a chunk of Meat with no purpose...only protein...

His purpose is to show what everyone is like inside. To poetically underscore the fact that all characters are similar and that any character can triumph over another. Or, to be more literal, they wanted to turn the fatality skin into a kool looking bonus character. True, I agree, he doesn’t conventionally serve much story purpose. But he looks kool and he is by definition a character. Even if it is some minor, side, joke, bonus, character with no conventional story. He is still a character and by that respect should be included.

...Meat should NOT be a character...that's all I can say...what would his back story be? A demented corpse from the Netherrealm?
...and I appreciate your poetic view though I doubt that was his initial purpose...
...I don't think a joke should be part of the MK world...it should rot...far far away...I find the game too serious and while I was playing if something tried to make me laugh I would find myself far too irritated...

Yes that would be his story. He is after all a demented corpse from the Netherrealm. Don’t take Mortal Kombat, or any franchise for that matter, too serious in this kind of staunch way that you are taking it. Mortal Kombat, like A Nightmare on Elm Street, is very campy. It always has been and that’s part of its charm. Look at Johnny Cage! He’s been a character sense day one and he’s nothing but one huge joke that pokes fun at Holly Wood Martial Art Movies. Master Bo Rai’ Cho is a Dojo Master who gets drunks and farts all the time. And do I have to remind of you Babalaties and Friendships? And some Fatalities are more comical then gruesome. Mortal Kombat has always prided itself on what some might consider to be, “cheep campy thrills.” It becomes a mix between seriousness, and dark humor. Look at A Nightmare on Elm Street, that’s what kept Freddy alive so long. His sense of humor. Don’t gross them out, make them laugh! I don’t see it as bad at all because it isn’t. It shows that both Mortal Kombat and Elm Street can serious and joke around too. This is not a bad thing. This is a good thing.

...I understand that though the character is only Meat...just a chunk of Meat...that's screaming for unnecessary attention...
...I never liked Bo' Rai Cho anyway...and I never use Friendships or Babalities anyway...Nightmare on Elm Street was a classic...though it is based on personality where the humor derives...though MK has subtle humor that they spread randomly...not in the character's faces or part of their body when they fight...it would kill the purpose...
...I don't like Meat...or even the idea of him appearing just to piss me off in Geddon...

They do not really have pictures. For Chameleon, it is one of the male ninjas that keeps on changing colors. for Khameleon, it was the character look of a female ninja that changes colors...that is about it for those two.

If Midway says every character back, and everyone is back but one, then the creators of the game told a lie to us. When Clinton lied, no one let him live it down for years. So don't call it unnecessary. He is a true character. No amount of your belittling him will erase the fact that Midway will be liars if he isn't in the game.
