lol im laughing b/c even if people got the characters they wanted....they wouldn't even main them. They'd try them out for like a day or two, then complain....and then go back to the main they started with.
Can't speak for anyone else, but if I got Noob or Li Mei, I'd be playing them along with my other mains

^ Skinny here is right. It depends on the character really and that's not exactly fair of you to say even if I get your point. To me, I played Smoke in MK9 and if he was DLC even in robo form I would play him because I played Robo Smoke in UMK3 as well. (Still think that's Cyber Sub-Zero.)

Noob in MK9 I also played and in fact was a main of mine.

I know it's technically a thing, but not nearly on the same level as Jason vs Freddy or Alien vs Predator. It's not significant enough to warrant putting him in this game over someone else.
There being a new Texas Chainsaw Massacre in the works warrants them putting him in the game to help push sales. They don't care about anything else.

Yes, it is pretty idiotic. No one is forcing you to purchase anything. If you don't like it, don't play it. The world is not gonna end. I'm not gonna slit my wrists and make a tantrum online because Con-air Nicolas Cage is not in a video game. I could give 2 shits if Reptile is in the game or not, I'll enjoy it anyway because I'm an adult with a normal functioning brain who is entertained when well-designed game mechanics come together. You seem to care too much about the made up stories of pixels in the screen that change colors when you press buttons.
It's idiotic to want MK characters in an MK game? Seems about right lol. As I said, I'm not going to continue playing it so the whole don't like it don't play it thing has kinda already been established. You can make hyperboles and attempt to trivialize my opinion but you're also on here being just as into MK as I am so don't try and make it out like liking a character is some crazy thing to do. Some people might tend to disagree that multiple unreactable 50/50s that lead to full combos are part of well-designed game mechanics but that's a different point. It's ironic that you're trying to make out like you're acting like an adult when you're attempting to patronize me with babyish over-exaggerative crap. If I cared too much then I'd be writing letters and starting petitions and shit but I'm doing what a normal person does: sharing my opinion (since this is an open forum) and not supporting something I don't believe is worth supporting. Why is that so idiotic to you? Should everyone just bend over and let a decent portion of the game eventually become non-MK characters? That's not really MK to me.

that seems to be the bottom line here. I guarantee there were some MK lore purists within NRS that opposed the inclusion of Leatherface, but they were overruled by the bigwigs with dollars signs on their mind.

But I will say that I have woken up with a somewhat more positive outlook here. I expect that the other three characters will be a lot of fun to play, and even Leatherface might at the very least be hilarious, even if totally wack from an MK purist standpoint

Yep. I'm sure NRS had other plans and then WB were like "lolnah fuck what the fans want. dollah bills ya'll".

I can't wait to see how boring Leatherface's intros are.

And please NRS, at least make him grunt. Fighting Jason gets boring enough as it is.

I haven't read through this whole thread, so I'm sorry if this has already been mentioned, but people are claiming that the reason for Leatherface's inclusion is due to the original actor passing away and this is a tribute to that. The problem with this theory is that he died not even a month ago and these characters take much longer than a month to program.

By the way, the way leatherface ran in with the chainsaw in the video before killing ermac, he looked super susceptible to low pokes - why didn't ermac just spam some down 3s?

best shit ive heard all day ....


but this was in the real world , not online.. ermac had to actually try to fight.. but we saw what happened
