Boon regarding Injustice, "That's right. Only one guest character per game."

[That__John__Guy]

Something that shouldn't be overlooked is that NRS is part of Warner Bros. Warner Bros. cross-promotes a lot. All those big entertainment companies do. Ever watch a show on the WB? They'll have songs from bands on record labels owned by WB. No surprise that WB owns Nightmare on Elm Street, so we know why we got Freddy as a guest character, coming within a year of the Nightmare on Elm Street movie reboot. Successful entertainment companies cross-promote: it is part of what makes them successful. They are really good at it.

Knowing that a DC Comics fighting game is going to draw in plenty of people that might not be fans of Mortal Kombat (or any other fighting game for that matter, it could be their first one), it only makes good business sense to promote the other big fighting game franchise that you own: Mortal Kombat. People that were hoping for a "pure" DC Comics-only game were dreaming. The real surprise would've been if there were no guest characters.

That said, one iconic ninja from MK is probably sufficient to accomplish the task, particularly considering some of the backlash to Scorpion. Game-wise, I don't know what SZ would add other than ice clones, since we already have Killer Frost with the slide, and her slide is awesome. Frankly, if NRS/WB was going to bring in another 'guest' character, it might as well be someone from one of their other numerous franchises. Though if it was another MK character, I think Kitana or Sonya would be a better choice, to have an iconic female MK character in the mix.

Its a DC game, I was expecting DC characters ONLY. Just like in MK9, I was only expecting MK characters. Not no Kratos which was a complete joke, nor Freddy fucking Kreuger. 2 slots wasted there, and 1 already wasted in Injustice. Get your shit together NRS. I would've stuck with MK solely if I wanted to continue

 

[MrGIldough]

This game has given me a lot more than I could ever have asked for. At this point, I'm just happy the people at NRS are still giving us more DLC despite all the whining.

"DC characters only... Scorp... WTF?! ....Nerf this! Nerf that!" --- you guys should be ashamed of yourselves. Most of you are grown men with hair in places you've always wanted pube free.

Act like the adults you ought to be and appreciate the game AS WELL AS the people responsible for it.

Thank you, NRS. Thank you, Ed Boon.

Shoutouts to Boon inadvertently confirming he never gave a shit about the PS3/Vita versions lol

Or it could mean that "one guest per game" is only from now on, starting with Injustice.

And in the end, it doesn't matter. Kratos helped the sales, and so did Freddy fucking Krueger. There were even people around horror sites saying that they would purchase MK9 only to play as Freddy.

It's good business for WB.

If only it were that simple. You must learn to expect this from a flawed species.

IMHO, no guest characters would be better...

 

[Big Pampering]

SZ= Sexy Zatanna <3

im pretty sure it is slutty zatanna

 

[miloPKL]

i dont wanna rain on anyones parade, im happy for the zatanna fans, but am i the only one who does not like zatanna and never really had anything to do with her?

No, I never really liked her too.

 

[Gamefreak]

I highly doubt SZ = Sorceress Zatanna..

Srs doe. Sub is not gonna be in the game

Hate to break it to you but it is Zatanna.

 

[CptXecution]

How about NO guest characters in fighting games?

You want to make a Mortal Kombat reboot? DON'T put a movie character in it who doesn't belong.
You want to make a DC fighting game? DON'T put a Mortal Kombat character in it.

Simple really.

 

[randomdude]

yes! swamp zing/sorceress or sexy zatanna.

 

[Briggs8417]

Hmmm mk had kratos and Freddie. ...something is fishy.

 

[John Grizzly]

Hector has also said no Sub Zero/guest characters and also went as far as to call the person who claimed to have a "leaked season pass 2" an idiot.

Right.

Because going 6 for 6 so far on the predictions is being an "idiot". Ever since the guy called Doomsday being a playable character, this guy has been right. Doomsday, Lobo, Batgirl, Scorpion, Zod, Martian Manhunter.....all were predicted by him.

I'll tell you this, if Sub Zero does indeed not end up being in this game, it will be because NRS decided against it because of the Scorpion backlash. THAT would be the only reason. I guarantee you there's a character model of an Injustice Sub Zero all set to go.

Having said that, even after ALL THIS....I still don't believe Boon. I still wouldn't be shocked to see Sub Zero in the game. This first batch of DLC was shit. Martian Manhunter looks incredible, though. If Powergirl and Zatanna are part of this batch of DLC, I'll consider that a disappointment as well.

I can't believe Swamp Thing doesn't have more support. He would be SUCH an interesting character.

"One guest character per game"
Releases Freddy Krueger and Kratos for MK9

 

[Briggs8417]

Damn there are a lot of people on here still complaining about Scorpion lol. I wanna play you guys online to taste those salty tears you've been crying for two months.

 

[Compbros]

As much as people say they don't "trust what Boon says" he rarely, if ever, outright lies about things. He does these vague answers or references but it's never "no, that's not what we're doing" when it turns out that's what they're doing.

 

[Spinky]

SZ = Sorceress Zatanna

Yeah.. no.

 

[OutlawNightmare]

God, its so obvious. SZ is clearly the result of a Dragonball fusion technique. Its SuperZod!

Zatanna needs to be in so I can play this game again. Fuck the haters who don't even kno who she is.

Boon is too good of a troll to be read. You can never guess what this guy is thinking. The problem is sz="sub zero" might be code for something...

Spoiler

Joking aside, I don't know what to think anymore.

 

[MrMadden613]

i really think sub zero would fit perfect into this game all his moves from mk would convert nicely over to injustice he should have been in instead of scorpion

 

[Briggs8417]

Right.

I agree with just about all of this. I did like the first batch of DLC though and I would be fine with Zatanna, Powergirl is meh on my list. I would've loved to see Swamp Thing more than the rest as well. :\

Yeah people blow his trolling waay outa proportion.

 

[Kiko]

Zatanna please! I would buy everything you own, play with you, and enjoy every second with you!




.. You dirty perverts.

 

[trufenix]

I like what this game has done to the internet. Fighting game forums will never be the same ever again.

 

[Lt. Boxy Angelman]

didn't he also say at one point there'd be no Scorpion?

Sub-Zero confirmed.
