Because developing two completely different sets of animations for two nearly identical characters doesn't sound very fun, and neither does creating 10+ different cyborg skins that are somehow not just recolors of one another, and that's before we even get to the gear.
Pretty sure there was variation specific dialogue. I know there were costume and stage specific ones.
Nearly identical? Well, can't disagree more. They are two (three if we count Cyber Smoke) different characters with developed backstory and motives. What's stopping NRS from re-designing Cyrax, to be less robotic and more Deadly Alliance alt costume-like? And what's stopping them to give Sektor slight or great redesing? They have completely different moveset and abilities. Lore-wise I don't think I even need to explain. If you are only paying attention on gameplay aspect and ignoring the lore then it's still not entirely true. Because even gameplay-wise they could be created as characters that are totally different from each other.
Both looking like snacks!!
I understand where you're coming from my dude, but if your priority is the lore, then you should also appreciate that the lore might not be taking Cyrax to a place where he needs a redesign. Maybe the lore needs Cyrax and Sektor to stay un-redesigned, nearly-identical versions of one another.
Given that Cyrax's development after 3 was that he got turned into a Special Forces Rep who was played like a sap by Nitara, I think I'll keep the tri-toaster.
Same, Sektor is my favorite of the cyber ninjas, followed by cyrax.
I feel like we should get new cyborgs to come in with sektor since he started the cyborg clan.
That would be sweet. I'd rather they be unlockable through playing secret fights with them on ladder tho.
Man, I want to believe this so bad, but Idk.
Bad bitches get unlocked first.
It says that Mileena, Shang Tsung, Rain and Shao Khan ( if you don't pre-order) are unlocked through the Krypt.
