Post subject: Best/worst characters announced |
 |
| |
Who has the best look so far? Who has the worst? Who do you wish they hadn't brought back? Who are you glad they brought back? Who would you like to see? Who is your favorite old MK character? New character you like the most? For me:
Looking good so far: Nitara and Subzero. She looks like what would happen if Morrigan from Darkstalkers wasn't a cartoon and was a thousand times cooler. Subby's two looks both have an amazing quality to them. The grizzled look and the ninja look are both updated to perfection.
Not liking the look: Sonya/Jax. These two look rather plain in comparison to the detail of all the other characters. No flowing garments, and military outfits look dull.
Wish they'd bring back: Baraka and Fujin. Imagine the blood flying in hand to hand martial arts combat when one of the kombatants had his blades drawn at all times!! I'd like to see Fujin with a more grandiose look like Shang Tsungs, I think that he would look amazing. His wind powers would be fun to see in this game as well.
Wish they hand't brought back: Cyrax and Kung Lao. The cyber ninjas were never a good replacement of the classic subzero and scorpion to me. So Cyrax has never been a favorite character of mine. Same goes for Kung Lao. I liked his look in MK2, but he seemed so plain and boring in MK3. He was probably my least favorite character in that game. Just my opinion though.
Favorite old MK character announced for MKDA: Shang Tsung and Reptile. I really dig the sourcerers new look, it's honestly fantastic. Reptile has always been a favorite character of mine, even if he was rather crappy in MK2. Still, the idea of being able to use him after searching for him so hard in MK1 was great.
Favorite new MK character announced for MKDA: Drahmin and Blind Kenshi. I really like the looks of these characters, and thier stories seem to be very interesting as well. I'd probably put Nitara on this list as well. I can't wait to see how these three play!!
Well, what do you think? If this has been done before, I'm sorry. I just joined the board, so I haven't had much time to check the back pages.
Peace

Who has the best look so far?
Li Mei and Nitara.  Actually, I like about everyone, I just had to go for the obvious ones, here.  (Get what I'm sayin'?)
Who has the worst?
I'll have to go with Reptile. I actually am starting to like his new look, but I still think it pales in comparisson to the others.
Who do you wish they hadn't brought back?
Now that's a toughy. I never liked Kano or Reptile that well, but Kano's looking ok, now, and his story is awesome! I guess I'll throw Kung Lao in, just because I don't see him as being too cool in this game. So... Kung Lao and Reptile. Depending on how the game turns out, this is subject to change.
Who are you glad they brought back?
Of course Johnny Cage, then there's .... huh. Wait, I actually think I could've gotten over any of the others not being in the game. So I guess either all of them or only Cage, however you take that.
Who would you like to see?
Liu Kang and Baraka. Though neither will appear, it is a shame that Liu didn't get to be in the newly re-invented MK.... but then again, it's proabaly all for the best. As for Baraka--I never liked his moves too much, but he had a lot of potential. If they would give him some killer moves that looked cool, I'd really like to see him return!
Who is your favorite old MK character?
Johnny Cage and Liu Kang.
New character you like the most?
Blind Kenshi and all of the females.  (No I don't "get off to them," but it's still cool to see half naked chicks running around, even if it is fake.)

I beg to differ. Nitara, I'm guessing, wears next to nothing so that no one pays much attention to her face. And what a face! It leaves a lot to be desired. I also notice that she's strapped on a small little dagger to her bikini. Not a bad accessory in itself, but notice that Morrigan needs no such trinkets when her large, vampire-bat wings are capable of slicing her enemies in half with razor sharp precision. Not only that, but they can reconfigure themselves into a barrage of steel-like spears, hell yeah! Nitara wouldn't even be able to get close to Morrigan. And she's got 4 bat wings where Nitara only has 2! True, Morrigan may be a cartoon, but everyone knows anime characters are imbued with insanely powerful abilities and attacks.
*ugh* I almost forgot; that giant Dracula collar Nitara wears needs to go! Bleh!
And one more thing Morrigan has over Nitara; she took it all off for the camera.

Now then, as to the original intent of this thread:
Looking good so far: Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Sonya, Johnny Cage, Mavado, hell just about everyone. Kitana's looking especially good after a couple games of wearing the "I want sex" outfit. I guess with Liu Kang dead she really had no reason to keep wearing that enticing outfit. But honestly! You have to feel sorry for her! She kept wearing less and less in every game (counting her look that we briefly see in Liu's MK4 ending) and Liu Kang never once gave her a second glance! Her self-esteem must've been shot to hell because of him, the bastard!
Not liking the look: Shang Tsung, Reptile, Jax, Raiden. Okay, now honestly I don't really dislike Raiden's new look that much, but every time I see him I mistake him for Kung Lao at first. I have nothing against making Reptile a real reptile for the games, but why do they always stick him with stupid shin pads and cod pieces? Shang Tsung, well, the flowing robes looked great in MK1, but I don't like the red threads. And his face... the beard, the hair, something about it just isn't working for me. Jax, well everyone knows I hate Jax anyway, so he's already off the list.
Wish they'd bring back: Sareena from MK:M. She was just so cute!
Favorite old MK character announced for MKDA: Well.... Reptile's always been my favorite, but after seeing his new look, I have to say I'm really looking forward to Sheeva now. She was so damn cool! Even if she did have a baratone voice!
Favorite new MK character announced for MKDA: Blind Kenshi, Drahmin, and Frost. I love her hair!

Looking good so far:Li Mei and Nitara.Probably the hottest mk womens so far.They also look like great fighters.Johnny looks great,especially in his tuxedo.Personally,i like Jax's look,because he remind me of Duke Nukem,Rambo and Stryker.Another great-looking guy is Cyrax.He looks fast,and ready to kick butt.Drahmin,Frost and Reptile are also looking great.
Not liking the look:Sonya.She just looks...boring.She only looked good in MK3 imo.
Wish they'd bring back:Stryker.He was fun to use,and his story can be improved.He has potential.Same for Nightwolf and Kabal.Sektor should have been brought back too.He is the most ruthless of all cyborgs,and his compactor fatality was the most gruesome imo.Sheeva was mentionned,so she should show up.Sindel would also be cool.There's many more characters i'd like to have back,but it would be too long to list them all.
Wish they didn't brought back:Sonya.I am sick and tired of her.I wish they had Khameleon or a new woman instead.
Who are you glad they brought back:Johnny Cage.He's my favorite MK1 character.I always liked his nut punch.I'm also glad they brought back Cyrax,because i like the cyborgs.Kano's return was unexpected,so i'm glad he's in.
Favorite old MK character:Stryker.Anyone who's different from the other characters is cool imo.His gun shot is my favorite special move.Jax now seems to be MK:DA's Stryker.
Favorite new character:Li Mei.I loved her since i saw her for the first time.

Looking good so far:I'm likin' the looks of Sub-Zero, Johnny Cage, Drahmin, and perhaps Mavado. Johnny's tux and his other outfit are pretty cool. Drahmin seems like a really interesting character and I would like to learn more about him. I also like Quan Chi's new look.
Not liking the look:I haven't seen many but I would have to go w/ Sonya. Very plain, very boring.
Wish they'd bring back:Reiko. So mysterious, want to know more about him.
Wish they didn't bring back:Sonya and Jax. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz........
Who are you glad they brought back:Johnny Cage. I would like to see him w/ more moves though besides his shadow kick/uppercut, fireballs, and ball breaker.
Favorite old MK character:Johnny Cage. He's awesome, very underrated.
Favorite new character:Well, I won't know until the game comes out and I'm able to play it, but so far, perhaps Mavado or Drahmin.

reppy_reps:
You forgot tho mention Morrigan's Finishing Shower super. Another great use of her bat wings....
I doubt too, that Nitara will have anything like Morrigans Eternal Slumber...
Back on topic :
Looking good so far: Sub Zero (masked) He's really got thar Ninja Grandmaster look down...
Sonya Blade looks good, from what I've seen. her default doesn't look too military, though. She looks like she's set to go club hopping.
Most of the characters so far (except Jax) look good.
Reptile's look, judging from the fuzzy pics, has potential. Nitata looks interesting....
Not liking the look: Jax. I've never liked the metal arms, and I think the designers have gone overboard with the overtly mechanical arms and the rest of his look. 
Wish they'd bring back Sheeva. I know she rumoured to be in, but I'd feel a lot better which some sort of confirmation. She has so much potential if gone right.
Wish they didn't bring back: Cyrax. He looks a lot better than in MK3, but I've never really liked the Cyber ninjas.
Favourite returning old MK character: Reptile. I actually like his new look. I liked his MK4 look as well, except for the purple pants.
Favourite new character for MKDA: It's a toss-up between Frost, Blind Kenshi, and now Nitara. Of course, it will depend on how they endup playing when the game comes out.
Later

MK:DA is going to be the best game! I have a feeling the game will be very smooth, the learning curve will be excellent and the charactars will fight with great skill and ability.
BEST LOOK SO FAR: SubZero and Scorpion- Their costumes have improved 99.9%. They look really strong and ready for battle.
I especially like SubZero's, the iced coated arms and the Dragon Amulet suit his style.
Scorpion's costume is really good, too. It improves more in The Martial Artistic manner.
NOT LIKING THE LOOK: Sonya- Honestly, everyone in the game looks really good. But if I had to pick anyone, I'd pick Sonya.
She doesn't look as sexy as she was in MK4. 
Her costume has improved but is still quite dull. It was easily what was expected and it looks very original and simple.
WISH THEY WOULD BRING BACK: Noob and Reiko- This is a really tough question. I seriously do not know. I would like to see the return of Noob Saibot or Reiko. The two mysterious Brothers Of The Shadow.
These two warriors were the most eerie and mysterious in Mortal Kombat, but just bring anyone and i'm happy!
WISH THEY DIDN'T BRING BACK: Kung Lao- Again, another difficult question. It is hard to answer this because in Mortal Kombat, the more charactars included- the better!
But if I had to say someone, I'd say Kung Lao.
Even though he is probably going to win the next tournament due to Lui Kang's death, he doesn't really ''fit''.
His story is boring and basically- he is boring.
FAVOURITE RETURNING CHARACTAR: Kano- This was easy.
Kano is one of my favourite charactars. His story is awesome and he looks better than ever! He could possibly re-abandon the Black Dragon Clan.
Him and SubZero will be the first charactars I play.
FAVOURITE NEW CHARACTAR: Blind Kenshi- I'd have to see what he plays like and how his smoothness, quickness and fighting skill attracts my satisfaction rate before I can tell you why he is my favourite new charactar.
But going by looks and storyline, I'd have to say Blind Kenshi.
Can't wait for MK: DA!!!

Best Look: Blind Kenshi, i dont care if his moves end up sucking he will be my favorite character for now on.
Bad Look: Jax, always jax. on 2 and 3 i hated him if would have played the games after that i still would have hated him. Reptile could look a shitload better more like in the movie. sheesh look at his stupid ass head. The rest of the charachters look amazing. They should just start the game with a new slate and remove all the tales that made the games horrible. Maybe hire an actual writer for the duration of this "new tale" so things don't get fucked up when new programmers come and want to change the story. (Sorry i am a writer and ametuar programmer so i got really upset when the whole plot got twisted which was somewhere between 2 and 3)
Wish they bring Back: Baraka, he was boring to play as, but fun to fight. His fatalities were cool also.
Didnt: Any cyborgs that end up i the game, dumbass idea from the beginning. If the fighters were smart they would just take a piss on these guys and short out their circitry. Dont give me any mumble bullshit about maybe in the netherlands they dont use copper or silicon cause i think it is still a stupid idea.
Fav. returning: All the originals, except for liu kang but he is dieing in the opening scene, right? thank god. (Starts praying that his soul isnt a hidden character.)
Glad they didn't: (OK i added this, unless someone already did) Liu Kang, i wanted him gone for atleast the third one because they always said he won the previous tornament.
Fav. New: Blind Kenshi of course, i already covered this. I like how all the new characters look. They obviously have a good team of artists now that dont go for the defacto "ninja" style characters (and cyborgs too, i repeat they where fucking --!#$@--. although that big mouthed one was a good fighter, but he still sucked because HE WAS A CYBORG.)

Post subject: best/worst characters |
|
| |
This is my first post, so here goes.
Best looking- Kano. Much cooler than his MK3 look. Out of the new characters, Blind Kenshi and Nitara look really cool. Having a vampire's a good idea.
Worst looking- Jax. His arms just look stupid now, action figure arms. That guy Kahn, if he's not a fake, just looks crap next to the others.
Bring them back- Stryker, Kabal and Baraka. Maybe Nightwolf too, if he was more interesting. Jade would be nice too.
Should have left out- Cyrax. The robots never matched the human ninjas for sheer coolness.
Glad they came back- Johnny Cage. My personal favourite. Also Kano, and Kitana.
Favourite old character- Johnny Cage. A good guy, but still out for himself, unlike goody goody Lui Kang.
Favourite new character- Too early to say. I like Blind Kenshi, Nitara and Mavado.

Best Looking: A tie between Scorpion and Sub-Zero (im a huge sub/scorpion mark)
Worst Looking: Jax. with his beret and the over exaggerated bionic arms...he looks like cartoon character.
Bring them back: Baraka: loved his character
Noob Saibot: Very Mysterious and was an interesting character
Reiko: probably the most mysterious yet. i wanna know what the deal was behind his ending.
Should Have left out: jax and sonya: i really think theyve worn out these 2 characters they werent all that interesting to begind with.
Glad they came back: Johnny Cage: Sweet character and love the tatoo.
Sub-Zero: Mortal kombat just isnt Mortal kombat without him IMO.
Scorpion: see subzero
Reptile: cant wait to see how his character plays. definately a gutsy move changing his look so drastically but i think its cool.
Favourite Old Character: Scorpion hes been my fav since the beginning.
Favourite New Character: Blind Kenshi he looks awesome and has a nice story

Owing to my little income, I can't buy a GC yet. So I haven't seen much of MKDA. Is there a site that is all MKDA? Would someone please provide me a link?
