This is the fasted anybody has ever had a character banned from tournament play. Kratos shows up and I already know he's banned.. Ps3 exclusive means half of the mk supports will not be able to play as him and gain experience therefore the ones that do have an unfair advantage which equals banned
.
As far as him being in the game. I have no choice but to accept it. As much as I love Kratos and God of War. This wasn't his time to join the roster. This is taking mk back to its roots and Kratos, as well as all guest characters should be absent. Didn't know Kratos was a part of their roots. Being a part of the story or not, this could have waited till mk10. I'm damn happy the 360 version is so far free of guest characters.
Everyone thats arguing about peoples complaints its simple. Those people are MK purists. Also Considering we were lied to from the very beginning is a little frustrating. I remember hearing right from Boons lips "we aren't gonna do any exclusive content. We want the people to have an equal experience". What happened Boon? Seriously, Having him on the game is just a giant fucking laceration in the "back to the roots" and "love letter to the fans" feel. It no longer feels like it's going back too its roots. No longer feels like its for the fans.. Considering all the hate this reveal has gotten they did the exact OPPOSITE of what the fans wanted That's why people are upset. We were all deceived. The people that don't want him won't play as him, but that doesn't stop the eyesore of him being a part of what used to be a pure mk game.
I'm an mk purist and mkvsdcu proved that having anything other then mk in an mk game turns it into an mk nightmare. Kratos may be banned from tournament play, but that will not stop him from appearing on playstation network. Chances are he'll be broken and the character that all the cheaters and move spammers use. He'll probably have infinites because I honestly doubt the mk team spent as much time on him as they have on the actual mk characters.
Mk needs to be the selling point for mk. You need mk to sell an mk centric game. If they advertise a character that isn't from the mk universe, its without a doubt showing that the mk team thinks Kratos and the God of War series better then his 18 years of work. That's pretty fucked up. With all that said. I'm a 360 owner so I won't have to deal with Kratos. I honestly being an mk purist would prefer him not being there and both games being equal. It is what it is however, and he's in. I just hope he isn't broken for the ps3 owners. Anyway, Kratos, Ryu Hayabusa, and a very limited amount of characters I believe would fit the mk game. Come to think of it I played the hell out of Spawn in soul calibur lol. A lot of people are just disappointed and scared because of this new development. After all of the turds they've thrown at the community adding another guest character reminds people to much of mkvsdcu and they along with myself are afraid that putting in the time and effort to add a guest character into the game could of been better spent on more important things. Like for one I still see absolutely NO corner pushback.
