Revolutionary Intro [True Grapplers]

[FCP/EMP SCAR]

Something i would like to see in mk10 is introduction of true grapplers in MK, a true first ever addition, no not like sheeva or jax (where u have to be not blocking to get the grab) im talking about rush in in ur face grapplers who deals damage on standing blockers, or even low grabs like sheevas would be nice, i cant wait to see the combination throws that grundy will have, and i hope NRS expands on this come mk10, i would just love to be playing a big character who has that scary run like Hugo in SFXT where he rushes in on u, with the protection of armor , lets be serious here ppl, as long as subzero remains in this game, we will have armor lol, hopefully they fix meter drainage so when we find openings in strings we can actually escape it, zombie jax in mk10 as a true grappler would be awsome too lol.

I would just like to say that this is by far the best grammar in any post you have made on tym. congratulations on your great improvement on this front.
That being said i could take or leave the idea of a grappler. it doesnt really seem to fit with the nature of MK to me, but eh.

It'd be an excuse to add the 8th male ninja to the game: Tremor.

I didnt get an 8 out of 9 in my english/writing portion of my college entry test for nothing -_-, i use slang in post because i choose to, but can talk intelligently when i choose or feel the need to just most of the time i dont, anyway i think mk10 could benefit from this, it would bring something new to the table, and a way to play match ups that have never been incorporated into the franchise to deal with until now. Man it would be so hype to see the potential of such a character, just think of how hype ppl get when jax air grabs someone, now multiply that times 10 lol.

Fair enough man, lol.

It would definitely be interesting. I'm not sure if this is a bad thing, but then MU charts would be all over the place. If MK 10 still has chip on normals, you'd have your pure-zoners, all arounders, pure rushdowners (pretty much Cage), and then pure grapplers, or hell even grapplerushers (the Jax's I guess). A Cage rusher vs. a pure grapplers would be a very strange/interesting/awkward MU that would probably require a ton of balancing and tweaking with the inclusion of chip on normals.

Also, that means rushdown in general might have to be buffed in MK10 if it has a similar engine to MK9 with the shorter jump arcs, damaging zoning, etc. etc. etc. Not only would a Cage rusher have to deal with the Kabal and Kenshi zoners but also pure grapplers since we know Zangief is anti-rushdown in SFIV.

I hope Bane has awesome grapples! Grapplers are always fun in fighting games.

hell yea i expect bane to have his tradmark back breaker, the same one that put batman out of commission.

He could use venom to enhance his grabs with like damage, or speed, or something.

bro u hit the nail on the head, i highly expect that to be banes gimmick move, the venom will inject through his tubes and his speed, and damage will increase respectably.

So how people dealt with Sub-Zero in previous games with no armor ? Seriously, armor should have never been in MK. As well as unnecessary EN moves and X-rays. MK was fine without that. As for grapplers, I'd think that would be interesting if there were true grabs like SF ones and not the parody MK9 grabs ( I mean, being able to block the grab ??? WTF), but who is gonna be the grappler in MK10 ? Almost all the roster died (thankfully) in the story mode. If they are bringing back characters from 3d MKs ( I really hope so), then it could be someone like Hsu Hao, Moloch, but I am not sure a true grappler ( like Zangief in SF) would fit in MK.

Me and some grappler player friends talk about this all the time how MK is a huge ninja fest. with zero diversity
and don't come with bullshit of shotos in SF cause there's a huge difference between 8 shotos and almost an entire
roster with ninjas or wannebe ninjas. SF has grapplers like Zangief/Hugo, Boxers and many other styles.
It would be cool for one time if they would learn from Grundy/Bane in Injustice and make the grappler players
one really good grappler, my suggestion is Goro but with a new moveset similiar to Grundy's straight grapples and
Bane's air grapples and with his green projectile similiar to the swamp hands.

 

[RYX]

7 ninjas is such a ninja fest lol.

My ideas for grapplers
Tremor - Safest choice. He's got a cult following, and he's not been put in traditional MK format, so they can do whatever they'd like with him. I see him being more of a Doomsday style smother pressure character, but he'd work.

Baraka - I don't see why not, really. It'd be interesting to see him use a bunch of command grabs to grab, stab, and stomp. He'd be great for some really brutal looking animations.

Kintaro - Fuck Sheeva.

 

[DangerousBacon]

Dis Necro.

 

[Cruz]

7 ninjas is such a ninja fest lol.

7 shoto ninjas...
3 female ninjas
2 annoying ninjas
1 soldier ninja
1 wannebe ninja

 

[SunLord5]

I wish 4 legged motaro were possible and playable as a grappler. Nerf his combos to do 10% damage and his reflecting of all projectiles might be balanced rotfl. After all who doesn't want to play as a centaur that teleports behind people with a sneaky mirage type look to scare the shit outta them?

 

[JaredL]

Dis necro indeed.

Still, Grapplers in MK should be fun. Injustice proved they had some good ideas with grappling. The problem was though, they were too cautious.

In injustice every character who relies on grapples or unblockable set ups is shitty. They were probably scared of doing another cyrax. I mean, Ares has that potential with his god smack, so they made him shite. Same with Shazam in a way.

I hope in MK10 they really try to make grapplers have more than good grappling.
