@ActRaiserTheReturned Kotal is so cool!

I can see him as an NPC, but not this early though mostly due to the current Kahn.

I'd do a really shitty Sub Zero or Scorpion.

I COULD DO Sonya, but I probably will not. The only reason my CS is also taking so long because I'm trying to think of something new and fitting to the Race we discussed in PM that you seem to approve of. (I say wait before we do the reveal of that.)

My artist will hopefully be done with the finished design in the next day or two, so I am excited to throw the CS up when it is ready.

So far I'm thinking fast, counters, and wind to air, of course low damage that relies on DPS combos. (Damage per second, in this context many fast cumulative hits to acctully be able to do good damage. In short, weak, but versatile.)

MORTAL KOMBAT

@ActRaiserTheReturned I don't think he'd allow that XD

MORTAL KOMBAT

@ActRaiserTheReturnedIt's like asking why there are no Wind based Ninja like fighters.

Going to change that.

MORTAL KOMBAT

Boxing and wrestling are some of the oldest martial arts in the world and were practiced first by greeks and then romans. Pankration, the fusion of both with an added variety of techniques such as kicking, choking and joint locks, is perhaps the first ever no-limits barehanded fighting contest and was strikingly similar to modern mixed martial arts. It was an event in the Olympics and the romans also had their own contests until they were abolished along with all pagan festivals by a christian emperor whose name escapes me.

No real argument against all your other problems, just saying that having boxing and wrestling is quite accurate. Well, you might say that having a shield, a spear, a net and a short sword is being several types of gladiators at once, whereas they were usually split amongst types very strictly. A guy with a spear and net had just that, a guy with a sword might've had just that or a sword and a small shield, it was all about "character types", so to speak, done for show rather than combat in real life.

Also, interested.

@Zero Hex

Aside from the history thing, even so he has way too much versatility with all the weapons. And it is still around 4 fighting styles. I'd have less problems if he wasn't as "agile" (And the water thing is kind of pretty much just Aqua man. Like, you how these projectiles, what do you need water for?). Like, this sort of character seems like it would be centered around Risk vs reward. But there is little risk with all this stuff. It just leaves a bad taste in my mouth for someone who has been playing MK for years. I look at this and just see Shoa Kahn...

@Nerevarine

I have gripes with this character already.

- Like, I'm cool with a Roman styled character, I think that totally fits in Mortal Kombat.
But... He has too many things at his disposal. It would be different if it was like MK X where you had three different variations to a specific strength, but it is more like MK 9 where it is just one specific variation.

- You have 2 Roman styles, 3 weapons, a tower shield (Which is really heavy by the way.) Grappling (which does not but me at all really.) and Boxing...?

- One is the Tower Shield move, the name just makes no sense... Where did he learn the water technique anyways? Is he earthborn?

- The weapons are going to weigh you down if you have 3 of them.

- If you very Roman like, why do you have boxing integrated into your fighting style?

- Too much utility and not enough risk. You seem too much like a Boss Character that has EVERY GROUND EVER COVERED.

Maybe I'm just being skeptical, but he seems like he needs to be toned down.

MORTAL KOMBAT

@Mortimer I have those moments too XD
Like, I just need to know if an idea of mine for my character is approved before I even do the CS, and my artist is working on something for this.

MORTAL KOMBAT

Zeus, I sent you a PM.

Feral

T'would be nice.

MORTAL KOMBAT

@ZeusTheMooseI'll send you a PM of some ideas before I even bother to begin, if that is alright.
