Would you like fat characters?

There aren't many fat characters in MK, and I think this could add some variety both to body shapes and gameplay. Bo Rai Cho was very good in MKX, his gameplay translated very well from 3D to 2D style. There was also the completely out of shape Stryker from MK3, but I dislike that character too much.

It's a shame we don't have a proper sumo wrestler, or a big guy who specializes in grappling. Maybe this should be addressed in future games.

I actually like Bo' Rai Cho so I would be okay with him returning. He was actually very fun in MKX.

I wouldn't mind it if we did get a new fat character, but I'm not sure what would NRS do with him. I fear they would call him Gor' Do, and make him be eating stuff in all his intros and victories.

Yes , I haven't seen any fighting game with a fat woman yet. That would be cool.

I hate Bo rai cho btw. I might be the only straight male that doesn't find fart and burps funny.

As long as it isn't a gross out humor fat slob joke of a character, I wouldn't mind seeing fighters who are on the heavier side.

Nope. Realism. Fat people can't fight. They Harakiri themselves by going up stairs. Deal with it.

y'all know what time it is

Depends on the character. If it's just because it's a schtick that they're fat, then no thanks. But if they have more to offer, then sure!

Bo'Rai Cho has some good potential on that front, and I thought his gameplay in MKX was pretty good. But people seem put off by him being gross with his puking and farting... which is fair enough, as it kinda just adds to his schtick. However, as a character, being an Outworld kung fu master, training Liu Kang and Kung Lao so they can defend Earthrealm... I love that about him! Sadly though, his overall design is pretty bland too.

There are other fat characters I think are pretty cool, like Honda from Street Fighter and Bob from Tekken, for example - Honda being the traditional sumo wrestler, and Bob who is extremely agile for a fat guy and uses his size as an advantage.

As long it makes sense for them to be a fighter first, then it can be done well.

Edit:
Also, you can be fat AND healthy and strong, btw. Those thinking otherwise are ignorant.

Samo has WAY more muscle than fat, dude. For a chinese he's a muscle colossus with a belly.

Sammo is freaking awesome! Prime example of a big guy who can kick major a**.

I think we have a different idea of "fat".

 

[sub_on_dubs]

I want my fat character's outro to be this.

 

[Juggs]

I want a fat female character. Has there ever been a fat female fighting game character? That would be awesome

 

[Eji1700]

They're rarely interesting and often overfocused on the gimmick. Earthquake from Samurai Showdown was good, but so many of them are just dumb.

 

[FaneBlackwing]

Fat people can't fight.

Sumo Wrestlers do exist, you know.

Sonya kissed by Kitana but stopped in the explosion by Raiden, now she's fighting as a bloated abomination!!

 

[Wigy]

As long as it's not cringey fat pride I don't think anyone cares

 

[cavemold]

Sure there’s really no one out ther

Moving goalposts. Smh

This is not fat, dude. This guy's got more muscle in his arm than half of average men in all their body.

This is fat.

But that's besie the point. The point is that if the fact that a character is supposed to be in MK just because it's fat, than it's a waste of time and effort, more so in MK where lore and characters are pretty developed and have to stand up to likes like Scorpion and Liu Kang. Bit I bet nobody wants this kind of fat.
