has MK ever had grappler characters? should they in MK10?

[Brutal Chimney]

im not quite sure what constitutes a grappler is in 2d fighters, but i do know i like them in 3d fighters mainly because i don't have to do hundred hit combos to win -_-

what are yall's thoughts on the matter? how would a grappler work in MK if we did have one?

 

[Bovine McKow]

Not really and a thousand times yes.

 

[Decay]

I was thinking about this too. I like how injustice has different character archetypes. I think that's something that mkx can utilize, like having jax be one of the grapple characters with a real command throw.

interestingly enough didn't Cyrax "use" Sambo in Deadly Alliance? it seems they've been wanting to turn him into a grappler for awhile now.

Not sure if it counts, but IIRC Judo had a bunch of grapples in the 3D MKs.
The Article says Jax in DA, Kenshi in Deception, and Smoke in Armageddon.

Id like to see a grappler play kabal while hes doing iagbs and running away

If you had played any of the old mk games you would know the answer to your question

LBSH, Bane would body Kabal.

 

[NRF CharlieMurphy]

I want Tremor to be the ONLY grapple character.

SO he can be an absolute beast.

If not Tremor

then Sz. Cuz everyone likes being tossed around while being frozen.

I dunno about that

 

[HellblazerHawkman]

Can we get Bane and Grundy in MKX? Regime Bane and Earth 2 Grundy to be specific

I can definitely see Goro and Kintaro being "Grapplers" if NRS put the time in and nerf them for competitive use.
But NRS wouldn't even let us play them. Which I respect as they're boss characters anyway.

 

[Brutal Chimney]

i've begun thinking it might be cool to make sub zero a grappler. it just seems like it would go really well with his freezing

i dont see why not. they had big characters in INJ with grundle, bane, lex doomy. they could ake goro and kintaro playable and give them legit move sets without making them overpowered just like how lex gets destroyed but sinestro the same could able to goro getting demolished by a zoner or what not. give him slow 1 hit armor moves, a command grab, anti air grab, unblockable ground pound, and legit strings and i dont see why not honestly.

Ermac is now a grappler

good luck

 

[ABACABB]

No please , leave SZ alone and let him be zoner like he's always been

LBSH blocking a telekinetic grab is fucking bullshit.

Can we just address the fact that you called grundy, grundle. The walking taint

 

[aldazo]

I would like a grappler like Sheeva, I mean sort of kinda grappler, not a complete grappler.

 

[gdf]

Ermac is now a grappler

good luck

I love this idea. Giving it a like doesn't do it justice.

Didn't see anybody block the force before

 

[Dr. Handsome]

I donno if he'd fit in MK, but I've ALWAYS wanted a straight up BJJ grappler in a fighting game. I guess the closest thing we've ever had is Kenshi's judo stance in Deception.

Ask NRS, though I'm positive that were gonna have every archetype in the next game. They went hard with them in Injustice.

No thanks. Isn't Shao Kahn kind of a grappler, even though he isn't playable without mods?
