Post subject: Why kill them off? |
 |
| |
I don't see the need to KILL off so many characters. Why can't they just give them final endings that would make it so they have no reason to be in Mortal Kombat.
That way, if this new direction doesn't work out (the direction being to start a new chapter, thus creating completely new characters), they can always bring back some characters that fans are demanding, without having to infamousy ressurect them.
Think of it this way: The MK team doesn't want to use Kitana anymore. So... what I'm saying is that instead of killing her off, give her an ending like -
"Finally achieving ultimate peace in Edenia, Sindel steps from the throne and Kitana becomes Queen. With a new found power, Kitana completely surrounds Edenia in protection, sustaining neverending harmony." blablabla
Okay, that kind of ending would get Kitana out of Mortal Kombat, but not dead, so if tons of people are demanding Kitana, then the Mk team are able to rewrite her back into the storyline, without having her to go through a really farfetched ressurection.
Just think about it.

Well i know if they kill tons of good characters off like kitana,sektor,cyrax,smoke,even scorpion and sub zero. I can guaranted that not only me but tons of others will think the next mk will plain out suck ass and not buy it forcing midway to go bankrupt out of the mk series.

My only concern is that the new characters will end up being one of two things. Either the exact same as the old characters with the same moves and fatalities but with a different name and storyline, ro they will totally suck. Example : let's look at the newest characters to come into the MK universe :
Havik : Chaotic mastermind with a half ripped off face (cool. Although, technically shouldn't count as a "new" character idea because he was supposed to be Noob but whatever.)
Asrah : Demon looking to purify her soul (okay, I'm gettin' it)
Now, let's look at the other newer characters, shall we.
Korba = Regular guy who shoots a fireball
Kira = Regular girl who shoots a pink fireball
Hotaru = Guy who shoots fire... at the ground.
Darrius = Regular guy who shoots a green fireball
Dairou = Guy who kicks a fireball
Taven = Edenian who shoots a fireball
Daegon = Edenian who, what? Oh yeah, shoots a fireball
Shujinko = a guy that shoots other people's fireballs.
They just haven't been coming up with cool ideas. Robots, Lizards, Wraiths, Sorcerers... nah. Done with that. Let's make a bunch of characters that you could walk outside and see on the street. Nothing special. And, best of all, let's give them a default projectile, fireball or firefists.
...just sayin'

I won´t believe it, until they really kill them off. And I totally agree with Jay, there are more ways how to get rid off characters than just kill them 
On the other hand I´m looking forward to new characters, because I still believe that MK team can be very creative. 
Finally, I don´t think Deception newbies were so bad.
Ashrah has become one of my favorite characters.
Kira (though just mix of Sonya and Kano) is the first redhead in MK (!!!) and she´s evil because she just wants to be evil (not because she got mouth filled with tarkatan teeth, not because she´s cloned and not because she was ressurected by Shao Kahn).
Havik, Darrius and Hotaru provided us with interesting storyline. Besides, Hotaru is very well designed (especially his armor) and the ground fireball gives you many new combo opportunities (plus it creates nice lava effect).
Shujinko is the first playable old looking character and he´s the lead character of Deception´s Konquest.
Well, I don´t really care about Kobra and Dairou.
But we shouldn´t forget Onaga, who is IMO the best boss ever since Shao Kahn and he got great storyline.
I think we should give the new characters chance. People sometimes tend to play only as classic characters and then call the new characters lame. Just my opinion

Well im not really cutting down the new characters i like most of the new ones in fact i like all the new ones except for kobra.
But what i mean is if they kill of so many popular old characters like the obvious ones kitana,mileena,scorpion,johnny cage,sektor and cyrax and smoke and so on.
Then the game will just have more new characters in there place and so many people have grown on scorpion and sub zero that if they got rid of them im sure not only me like i stated wouldn't buy the game anymore but others wouldn't buy it also.
Which is why i said if no one buys the game then midway would go bankrupt in the mortal kombat and sadly there wouldn't be no more mk again. And i don't want that to happen and im sure anyone on this forum also doesn't want to see this happen.

If they kill off characters, they should get rid of crappy guys only and keep everyone else.

Well, like I said, they can always use my recycling idea.
Or... they can totally revamp the "sucky" character's story.
*cough* Kobra *cough*
