I tried to throw a yo-yo away. It was impossible.
I mean ya, but that's not a mainline game. Hell, calling that a game is a stretchMore or less. Technically he wasn't in Mortal Kombat: Special Forces as far as I know.

Wow
1.) Plenty of people like Jacqui and Frost. Just because YOU don't find them appealing doesn't mean that no one else does.
2.) Guest characters sell. And they always will. NRS and WB are in the business of making money, and spots that could have ultimately gone to MK characters will be given to guests. That's just how it is.
3.) You are aware that MK hit the market in '92 right? The folks at NRS/WB aren't stupid. Their base still has 80's and 90's kids. Nostalgia sells. Hence the inclusion of Robocop, Terminator, and Spawn. The face and voice of Cary Tagawa, and soon the voices of Linden Ashby, Bridgette Wilson, and Christopher Lambert from the '95 movie. Why shouldn't NRS do something for the original fans/players of MK?
Leaving out the whole Internet, social media and prevalence of anonymous online opinions part of the argument, eh? It doesn't matter how successful it was... a character skipping a game in its THIRD installment less than three years after the character's conception is not comparable to one being excluded 25 years and 18 or so games later. Why should I even have to explain that? LOLMore or less. Technically he wasn't in Mortal Kombat: Special Forces as far as I know.
Mortal Kombat was a phenomenon back in 1995. There were comics, collectible cards, the first film came out (with codes for Mortal Kombat 3 in it); there was even a live action show touring the US.
1995 is considered the franchise's high point prior to the modern reboot trilogy.
I'm not leaving anything out, I'm correcting you since you called the franchise "barely established" in 1995. It was quite established at that time.Leaving out the whole Internet, social media and prevalence of anonymous online opinions part of the argument, eh?

"Established" and "successful" aren't the same thing.I'm not leaving anything out, I'm correcting you since you called the franchise "barely established" in 1995. It was quite established at that time.
That's all I'm commenting on, not whether it's good or bad, wrong or right, that a character was excluded or included from a game at any point in the franchise's history.
You're explaining something to me that goes well beyond what I was even talking about.
You're coming off very defensive and cringy, tbh."Established" and "successful" aren't the same thing.
But it was, and still is, successful."Established" and "successful" aren't the same thing.
I can assure you I didn't ask, but thanks for your really insightful input and contribution.You're coming off very defensive and cringy, tbh.
MK was the biggest thing on the planet in 1995"Established" and "successful" aren't the same thing.

I guess it wasn't very successful tho
yes its easy to establish something in 3 yearsestablished

"the ceremony was an established event in the annual calendar"

Yes, because making insane amounts of money of arcades and home ports, and doing well enough to have a feature film, television show, comic series, and a live action show, not to mention having the influence on sales to be a strong part of why Nintendo changed their no-violence stance clearly means they weren't very successful at all ."Established" and "successful" aren't the same thing.
Right! For example, Patrick Mahomes is both established and successful after almost 3 years of being a starter.yes its easy to establish something in 3 years
when your brand becoms the most recognizable brand in the english speaking world I think at that point you are established
Has to be voluntary illiteracy at this point. I literally said it was barely ESTABLISHED and reaffirmed that there's a distinct difference between establishment and success (agreeing that MK is successful)...?Yes, because making insane amounts of money of arcades and home ports, and doing well enough to have a feature film, television show, comic series, and a live action show, not to mention having the influence on sales to be a strong part of why Nintendo changed their no-violence stance clearly means they weren't very successful at all .
Sure, I read the wrong word, though successful and established are interchangable when it comes to Mortal Kombat in 1995.Has to be voluntary illiteracy at this point.

Sure, I get what you're saying. Which doesn't change that fact that the franchise was both established and successful in 1995. This is fact, not opinion.Sure, let's argue semantics and harp on an such an insignificant, cherry-picked detail instead of discussing my main point, which still stands: 2 years and 3 games is NOT the same as 25 years and 18 games. The backlash that occurs from a character's exclusion is NOT the same in the 90s as it is in the age of the Internet and social media. Do. We. Get. It?
Selective memory.I laugh at those who believe that Scorpion's fans weren't mad when he missed MK3.
oh i can believe the few that were out there at the time were madI laugh at those who believe that Scorpion's fans weren't mad when he missed MK3.
And you said the franchise was barely established. Which is false. Which is what I've been addressing with you this entire time. That's the only thing I've been addressing with you this entire time.Nobody questioned MK's success.
I challenged and refuted the point I was focusing on. Succesfully might I add.I might indulge you again when anyone is capable of actually addressing, refuting, or challenging the actual points I made.
Toodles!Bye now.
I was very disappointed.I laugh at those who believe that Scorpion's fans weren't mad when he missed MK3.
