What's new

What do you do when MK11's roster is only the newbies from MKX + fresh wave of young adults

Yes... Replace Sub Zero with Frost and Takeda for Scorpion for all I care. Give her a whole new move-set so people stops the ice Clone whining once for all, and Takeda too.. But but the ice clone... But but the swords!. And on the other side every char and their sons are at tourneys instead of the OP ice clone user:DOGE and The Op sword user. What a coincidence!.:rolleyes:

Cassie could never truly replace Johnny Cage, even if they have the same move set. Mortal Kombat is more than just fighting moves. same reason why Frost could/would never replace Sub-Zero.

The charm and personality of Johnny Cage can't be replicated.

Johnny was never liked that in the games though. That's just the movie.
In MK9 he was a douchebag, in MKX he was actually likable for the very first time (imo).

Uh..from what I remembered in the forum when mk9 came out, everybody loved Johnny and thought he was great and funny after playing the story mode.
I can't speak for everyone else. Only for myself. And I never liked him until MKX. But I could do without him.

People like the douchebag character type though, thats what made him great. Being likable is not the same thing as being liked and vice versa. (otherwise bad guys and assholes wouldnt have a fan base, and people would have actually liked Jacqui XD)

He is a cocky asshole, that still fights for the good guys and hit on the ladies. His movie persona was the same as his video game one.

As said, can only speak for myself. Don't really care what other people like. I just don't care for him really.

Well just because you don't like him, doesnt mean that he isnt a fan favorite and people love him.

Sounds like you were trying to speak for everyone though IMO, maybe word iits just your opinion better from the start next time lol.

No, I never said that. I only ever talked about my own opinion. Sorry if you got confused for a moment, but now it's cleared up.

Also, I already did say it was my opinion. Did you notice the (imo)? That is short for "in my opinion".
 
I bet my opinion is not on the popular side, but I'd LOVE this to happen. This idea that fighting games must not change ever is annoying for me.

Newbies is one thing but the young adult/ offspring concept in a ruthless fight-to-the-death fg was offputting and uncreative imo. Just bring in a new wave of unrelated, original characters
 
imo new characters should complement the classic characters not replace them, otherwise its not mk at least not to me and i hate the idea that characters need to be story relevant or otherwise they are not worthy of the slots, like fuck off, this is a fighting game at its core not another story driven action adventure casual game from sony and the likes
