Yes that's right, show me your tears, can't wait to cut the sadness right off your faces with my saw :)
No tears, actually quite happy that someone Actually wants him, it would speak poorly of their listening skills on the community to add a character no one wants... im sure it will be interesting, i dont like or dislike him, im indiferent to be honest, but glad your happy with the character

From a brand standpoint, having more guest characters is not a good thing. MK will slowly lose its identity and become a violent Super Smash Bros.

Why doesn't NRS just make their own horror fighting game? I feel like the inclusion of Leatherface is a business ploy. Not just to get sales but to convince other horror properties and possibly test the water for a horror icon fighting game. I fully expect Pinhead and Ghostface further down the road.
Marketing and designers are in accord on every platform except sports series. Make it like this is it because if they don't, it certainly can be.

I don't know how the metas designs will play out, but purely from an imagination perspective - its a hit with me.

We got all of the cyborg-ninjas; ALL OF THEM!!!

Plus, Alien vs Predator and Jason vs Leatherface...

That's the thing too, I suspect Leatherface will be high tier. The chainsaw would most likely hit multiple times, causing heavy chip dmage, and breaking through armor like nothing. Not to mention he COULD have some reach with the chainsaw, and his NJP and jump attack could be multi-hitting AND have reach.

It just makes zero sense why Leatherface was chosen for KP2, literally nobody wanted him. There were more popular choices than him. Everyone else in KP2 is alright though.

Side note:
I bet you anything NRS will reuse the Jason/Predator intro dialogue for Leatherface, and Xenomorph. So it'll be another round of "Who are you?" and "You don't belong here".
i think the decision to include leather face was beyond ed and came from wb. you see, this is business and if they dont make money out of their product they would shut it down.

i didnt expect not even 1% the inclusion of leather face, but since there is a movie coming and they wanna promote it i think it all makes since to why we are seeing him here. just because im saying this
doesnt mean i wanted him to be in the game but from a business perspective, cash comes first because its all
about the money.

im sure at one point we will get some fan favs but to tell u the truth, leather face coming out of the woods running and killing ermac was so hilarious that it made me laugh and confused me at the same time.

but yeah, i will try and have fun coz whats done is done u know XD

Jason vs Freddy would've been more hype and iconic than Jason vs Leatherface.

I'm not surprised, motherfuckers
man after sleeping on this im still a bit dissapointed.

I have no interest in leatherface or bo rai cho.

The alien baraka hybrid looks cool but feels like a way to please the mk fans and the casual fans more than a well thought through idea. I am interested to see and play this character though.

The tri-borg looks good and I will deffo be playing smoke, but the variations are gonna have to be drastically different.

All in all this is very meh to me, but obv if the characters i had wanted were in it would have been meh to someone else so what can you do. Sad thing is i know i'll still be buying kp2 just because i love this game

Very few are over-reacting, but...
...this is still applicably funny.

Leatherface could work if Slayer's Dead Skin Mask blares during the matches ala New Jack's Natural Born Killaz theme.

A little disappointed myself overall. Could've been an opportunity to bring a new character into the fold, the return of a favorite, and 1-2 revamps. Bo Rai Cho is hype, (aslong as his move set isn't comedic base.)
I don't blame em' for not bringing in Fujin and the like. Need to keep some heavily desired characters on the backburner for MK11. Oh well, first world problems.

I'm happy for 50% of this KP2. Bo' Rai Chi and Cyborgs are awesome inclusion, been waiting for them.

The other half though was wasted for shit. Instead of Baraka we have a shit, instead of Fujin we have even worse shit with a boring as fuck character from boring as fuck horror movie.
Aliens boring? Leather face i can see why peopl dont like it personally i love texas chainsaw but alot of people wanted alien and predator in the same game.

I want to know when they're gonna be released and in what order. I have a feeling the two guest characters will be released first with the two actual MK characters last like the first KP.
It wasn't like the first? Tremor was the only mk character along with pred to be released last 2, tanga got released second
