[Popular opinion] Smoke / Noob Saibot / Rain all sell far more copies of the games than Cassie Cage.

[Krankk]

My guy. You want to know what really sells. Waifus.

I fail to see how this thing is waifu material:

I'm predicting that Noob will be a DLC character, I'm getting the vibe that he'll miss main roster which wouldn't make sense for such a seemingly popular and high demanded character.

I mean, that is absolutely my point:

Imagine Noob Saibot doesn't make it in the game, or another highly, highly requested character. Everyone and their grandmother wants Noob Saibot in the game. But NRS then tells you that they only have so many time and money to create characters, hence why some need to sit out. And then you look at the roster and see Cassie Cringe over Noob Saibot. I mean.. what..?

 

[LaidbackOne]

Can't this be a status update? What is the point of this? DURR ME LIKE SMOKE MOAR HURRRR

 

[Charybdis]

Yet again, a sterling reminder of the utility of the ignore function

 

[Braindead]

Can't mods just merge all these crap threads into that one "roster rant" thread?

I fucking hate Cassie and all the 3 ninjas mentioned in OP are ones I played, but this thread is still crap.

[Popular opinion] lmao

 

[KiD INsAnitY]

Mehhh not really. I’d trade all 4 of them in for NightWolf..

 

[DDustiNN]

I guess we should just complain and be outraged over the roster, before actually knowing the roster. Because... reasons, I guess?

 

[gitblame]

I like how Cassie and Sonya look so far. I bet Sonya will look even after release. What I like about their faces is that they look like actual human beings. They're fuckin military not supermodels. If you looking for waifus there are plenty anime games to pick up.

Also what's selling MK's copies is MK, not waifu counter or specific characters over the others. Waifu weebs will still "borrow" their parents debit card and buy a game despite of how many waifus are in the game.

 

[Sablicious]

I agree that the characters cited by the OP would likely sell more than Cassie Cringe. However, to keep things in some context, pic related would also sell more than Cassie Cringe...

I fail to see how this thing is waifu material:

That is because you are not looking at the 'lovely' *retches* visage through sapphic ⚢ eyes...

 

[Sablicious]

if you ask me i will put all ninjas to the roster. Every MK players has a ninja favourite at least.

This will be the eleventh time we have destroyed the generic ninja, and we are becoming exceeding efficient at it!

I mean she looks fine. Way better then how most nrs faces look when the games revealed. Also cassie cage > your shitty edgy ninjas.

Those shitty edgy ninjas are Mortal Kombat.. There could be a mortal kombat game without cassie but without ninjas, there is no way. You should stop acting like a child and learn what mortal kombat is..

I mean they literally just made a mortal kombat game with out them. And you can call me a child if you want but i'm not the one ranting on the internet about shit I know nothing about.

Cheating yourself is not a good decision. The idea that '' without my favourite character mortal kombat will be an useless game '' is not a wise choice. Nobody will take seriously these kind of lame opinions.

My Grandma actually likes playing as Cassie Cage, but that's probably because she's all about those mixups. Plus she's racist against ninjas. Old people, am I right?

I honestly don't know where you got the idea that I would consider the game usless without cassie from. I just found it funny that cassie being revealed was enough to trigger this guy to make a thread ranting about how his favorite character isn't in it despite only 7 characters being officially revealed

If there is a misunderstanding i am sorry about it. I am really tired of to see comments like '' if my char is out i won't buy the game '' or '' my char > your char thought.

So just let them not buy the game. They are clearly not the kind of people we need in our community anyway. They’ll find out later how awesome the game is, and end up buying it anyway. And if not... oh well, no big loss. Just one less person yelling “SCRUBS” in lobbies and blaring shitty music into the mic during matches.

Mortal Kombat is/means a different thing for different people, that should be obvious, especially in a place like this forum.
To some it's tongue in cheek and campy; to others is gritty and dead serious; it's about the lore; it's about the gameplay; to some people, MK is not about gore, and they can make a strong argument about that.
I mean, this whole thread is because not even NRS has an unanimous take on MK. Is it about MK1 characters? Is it about MK2? MK3? Is it about MKX?

This would make a good thread methinks. "What does MK mean for you?"

And we can see the variety of answers in play.

There are only around 7-10 or so characters that are always gonna be a lock in for Mortal Kombat and none of those 3 ninjas are one of them. In terms of casuals who will buy the game there is probably only 2 characters they will try, soooooo

 

[Espio]

I think the funniest part of this thread is people trying to tether the popularity of Scorpion and Sub-zero to Rain, Smoke and Noob and acting like they're so staple and necessary despite history telling us the total opposite. One of these groups is not like the other and trying to frame them as equals is intellectually dishonest at best.

 

[Dankster Morgan]

I see the 100% lock ins as Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Raiden, and Liu Kang.

The iconic ones who are also very likely are Kitana, Cage, Sonya, Lao, and maybe Jax. Other than that it’s fair game tbh

The wise man learns from losses.

Then you must be really wise!

I've survived many battles

Then you know of the bitch slap

How many of them chew bubble gum though?

I feel sorry for you.

My race will return in time.

I meant cause of your face.
