Guest Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 Final roster is pretty damn weak. Who'd you want? More villains and more variety, mostly. Ollie is a big omission, but he gets shafted a lot in games. More playable characters in general. Shazam is completely useless, as is Catwoman, they could have used those spots for Lobo or Rorschach. Some Vertigo guys like Constantine or Jesse Custer would have been nice too. Someone like Swamp Thing. People that haven't really been done before. Instead, they played it super-safe and a small roster in a fighting game that doesn't have a good engine is a killer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 I don't see the point of having Captain Marvel in a game where you already have Superman. Isn't the MK lineup just MKII? What's Lex Luthor gonna do, throw money at people? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 Missing Johnny, Kung Lao, Millena, and Reptile, but it's the same otherwise. Like I said, they played softball with the roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James D. Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 Luthor damn well better be in his big green robotic armor. Lobo was MADE for this kind of game, but they left him out? Ugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 You know who would have been absolutely PERFECT for this game? Black Adam. The man is a walking fatality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 Rorschach would *not* fit this game, Dubs. Doc Manhattan on the other hand... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuaveStar Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 MK Baraka-OK Jax-Meh. Kano -yay! Kitana-Who cares? Liu Kang-Well, I guess he's good. Raiden-Blah Scorpion-YAY" Shang Tsung-If he can turn into the joker, yay! Shao Kahn-Vs Darkseid, yay! Sonya Blade-Who cares? Sub-Zero-Erm yay. DC Batman-YAY Catwoman-Boo Darkseid-YAY Deathstroke-YAY Flash-Could suck Green Lantern-See above Joker-YAY! Lex Luthor-Maybe a yay. Captain Marvel-Boo. Superman-YAY! Wonder Woman-Meh. Why no Lobo, this game will probably be a rental which when returned I will may be asked "Why is this disc in 3000 pieces?" Seems with the exception of the big three, they chose randomly for DC. What about Killer Croc? Killer Croc vs Reptile would have been.....interesting Also Dr. Destiny from what I saw in Justice League, he would be awesome.

Guest Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 Rorschach would *not* fit this game, Dubs. Doc Manhattan on the other hand... Please explain. Rorschach is uber violent. Comedian could work too. Manhattan is fucking omnipotent. It couldn't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 Rorschach might be uber violent, but when placed next to any powered being (See: Manhattan, Dr.), Rorschach is left as a fine red mist. That's why Dr. Manhattan is actually a fit, he wouldn't get the crap beaten out of him by everyone else on the list. Don't get me wrong, I love Rorschach, but he just doesn't fit.

Molly Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 Also: I have no idea why I'm excited for this game. I'm a huge MK fanboy, but Armageddon sucked so hard, it's going to take a miracle to get me back behind it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 But by that logic, Joker wouldn't fit either. Hell, realistically (I can't believe I just used that word) none of the MK guys should be able to stand a chance against any of the DC crew, with the exception of Catwoman. Fuck, if Catwoman is in, really no excuse not to have Rorschach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 Meh, I can call the MK guys superheroes. I mean, Sub Zero is probably Batman's equal Hand to Hand *and* he's a cryomancer. Scorpion/Shang Tsung/Shao Kahn have the whole magic thing going, and we all know how much Superman hates that. And so on, most of them would be classified as some sort of Meta-Human in DC, if they were there. Catwoman is a fucking waste, though. Also: No Kenshi OR Bo Rai Cho? Fuck that.

Guest Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 My dream roster, assuming you could only do 22 guys and make it an M game. MK Scorpion Sub-Zero Rain Baraka Havik Jade Johnny Mavado/Kabal Quan Chi Reptile Tanya End Boss - Evil Raiden (like they should have fucking done for Armageddon) DC Deathstroke Hush Darkseid Someone from Watchmen. Anyone. Constantine Jesse Custer Lobo Black Adam Spider Jerusalem Solomon Grundy Bizarro End Boss - Supermanboy Prime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 I dunno, Dubs, no Supes? No Bats? No Wonderwoman? I get your desire to see a bit of a different feel, but they do want to sell some games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 None of the Big Three because it needs to be an M game. The Mortal Kombat name sells games. Armageddon was refried shit and sold in tons. There was nothing stopping them from just making a DC fighter with the same engine for the kids/teen crowd.

Molly Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 I get what you're saying, but I just don't agree. But, hell, at least it's not Marvel Nemesis: Rise of the Imperfects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 It's called a dream roster for a reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 I'll weave you some dreams, bitch. Fine, I'll play along and post mine, so you can tear it apart. MK: Sub-Zero Scorpion Kenshi Bo Rai Cho Melina Kitana Raiden (Evil Style) Goro Shang Tsung Kung Lao Boss: Shao Kahn DC: Superman Doomsday (Hi. I'm a walking fatality) Batman Hush Joker Lobo Wonderwoman Green Lantern (Hal) Sinestro Brainiac Boss: Doomsday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 So you'd take out Darkseid and Slade? Yours is more realistic, but mine would be a hell of a lot more fun to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 I tried to balance the idea of selling games and not sucking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James D. Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 20 characters, 10 from each: MK: Scorpion Sub-Zero Liu Kang Kenshi Kitana Sonya Raiden (alternate costume would be Evil Raiden) Goro Shang Tsung Quan Chi Boss: Shao Khan DC: Superman Batman Wonder Woman Green Lantern Batgirl (Cassandra Cain) Lobo Ra's al Ghul Brainiac Sinestro Deathstroke Boss: Darkseid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James D. Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 I find the lack of Rain love disheartening. Rain is garbage wrapped in vomit, tied up by a ribbon of used tampon strings. I hate that fucker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
