Maybe we will se another centaur charachter on the next generation game systems? I am more interested to play as Kintaro than Motaro anyway.

it would be difficult to put motaros hind legs in because of the stage death traps e.g the bell tower stage has the spikes that split the limbs off the torso. if motaro has the back legs think of the difficulty of programming the stages with deathtraps which need to slice his body up.

I TOLD YOU SO!
Seriously though. It was obvious that the fans and the MK crew wanted to include every single warrior from previous MK games, but when it came to Motaro... wooo... They had their work cut out for them. Not because of the extra data he'd take up, but the sheer amount of programming that would need to be done JUST for his hind legs.
I'm going to re-say everything I said before so that everyone can understand.
Shokan: Although they have 4 arms, the programmers kinda cheat by having the lower set of arms perform the exact same thing as the upper set a split second later, giving the illusion of independent movement. For other techniques, they simply did 2 seperate motion capture, one for lower arms, another for the upper.
Onaga: His wings are just jiggly add-ons, much like the female's breasts or someone's baggy clothing. Again, for specific moves, they are programmed in. Nothing too fancy.
Motaro: Woo... here it comes. The programming is quite difficult here. They can do motion capture on a guy and act as him being the front of the centaur, but then comes the back legs. Since there are no similar motion captures for such a bodypart, there would need to be specific programming. Now factor this in: there are 60+ characters. Each character has roughly 20 different fatality sequences they can do. For fatalities alone, they would have to program in over 1200 movements for his butt, all by it's self. But better yet, some of those fatality movements are strictly for biped characters and would not look good against a centaur, so this time, we'd have to go to each of the other characters and make it so that in the off chance that they fight motaro, their fatalities, grabs, and fighting styles changed in order to fight one character.
It's not worth the time, the money, or the simplistic insanity that the programmers would go through just to make motaro have an ass.
Yes, Motaro will have to seriously be explained about his new look storyline-wise, but think about it.
You all wanted Motaro, and you got Motaro. Sure, he may look different, hell, I was seriously offended when Scorpion became a champion of the elder gods and no longer a true hellspawn (hence no burning skull or fire blazing fatalities), but I accepted it and just went with it. It's worth it to see my favorite character become the most powerful character in the MK universe.
Motaro fans, give him a try, listen to his storyline. You may find you will like him more then what you last heard of him AKA dead as a doorstop.
I hope this helps everyone understand what Midway has to do. |
couldnt put it better myself. i mean come on! just because he dosen't have and extra two legs! jesus he might be the best dam charceter in the game but you lot wont play as hm coz he has two legs. i think he looks great

Like I said earlier; I΄d rather have a Motaro with 2 legs than no Motaro at all. I just hope he will keep some of his original moves.

I can't say I was ever a huge fan of Motaro, but as a character in MK he deserved to be in this MK game, and he is. While I too am incredibly shocked that they chose to just give him two legs, it's not a very big deal to me because:
a.) I don't really intend on playing as him unless it's just to test out his character and
b.) he's in the game which is all that really matters in the long run
I don't know how the hell they're going to explain that he's missing half of his body and his hind two legs, but still has his tail. I'm sure they will think of something cheesy, just like their explanation for Shao Kahn surviving the Deadly Alliance's attack (a clone...figures). Taking into consideration all the hassle they'd have to do just to give him rear legs, and the limited time left before the game is released, we should just be pleased they put him in the game at all. They could have left him out entirely, or do this. Personally, I think the option they chose is the lesser of two evils.
Can't wait to see how they explain it though.

No that explanation is one that I want to hear. Maybe Sheeva cut off his second half when she "killed" him before freeing Kano from imprisonment maybe?

Oh that figures. Speaking of which, that lost Kriss of Ashra, well she found it on ebay. Smoke was selling it. jk lol. But seriously, how would he have his tail? I think he just evolved over the years. Kombat has made his 4 legs a disadvantage. Evolution solved that.

maybe motaro has a special ability, "shapeshift". If he wants to have four legs he morphs his back legs. Thats the only way I could explain it. He still looks great though.

But for some odd reason, he looks more dangerous if you ask me, like hes plotting something. he has those shifty eyes.
