There should always be a reason why a character would have the ability.
Scorpion...he's a ghost.
Raiden....he's a god.
Smoke....it's an elusive element.
Noob is about shadows and whatnot. Still works.
A clear cut example was Sub-Zero in MKDC...there was absolutely no reason for him to teleport. None. Same with Frost in Armageddon I believe.
I also never understood why Ermac and Rain could somehow teleport. It's so arbitrary and outside their arc of power.
Cyrax comes apart and rebuilds....it's functionally accurate I guess. Sektor....disappears in a bunch of matrix coding...how? Hooowwww?
If they for instance allowed D'vorah to teleport....it would just blow my mind from how nonsensical an ability it would be. I know they didn't....but they certainly would.
I'm missing a bunch of characters, but I feel like teleports are just always some filler move the developers toss in when they're at a loss. When in doubt...teleport. Its like their motto.
I agree with you. This, however:
Sektor....disappears in a bunch of matrix coding...how? Hooowwww?
I believe that since the Matrix is a reality of the mind, the mind makes it real, and MK has different Realms, Sektor is able to shift into different realms, like Cryomancers are from Outworld, Tekunin could also originate from Outworld as well. So, Sektor's teleport could be technology from Outworld. However, Outworld doesn't even have guns, which is why Kano brought guns to Outworld. You go through a portal into a different Realm, other than John Vogel, who is to say that different realms have different realities? This is my thinking as to an explanation. Ermac is a kollection of souls of dead warriors, some of which could teleport, so his teleport could be a remant of a past warrior. Subs teleport in MK vs DC was stupid, it was meant to be a safe 50/50 because supposedly used to teleport after slide, when doing an oki, however, if opponent goes into the
RAGE when Sub comes out of teleport Sub is dead.
