Pacman in SF X Tekken? Or just about all the guests in that game besides maybe Cole lolNo. It's fantastic they have done such great work implementing the character, but he doesn't fit in with the feel/world at all, and nothing will change that. I can't think of a more out of place DLC character for any franchise.
He's an unrelated horror movie character from like 30 years ago. How long does a character have to exist before the idea of him isn't original anymore?
This has already been discussed. I doubt NRS is to blame for his inclusion. Raise your pitchforks and torches to Warner Bros if you're unhappy about him being in the game.I hate an entire thesaurus on how he might be terrible.
He's still the result of NRS' poor decision-making skills
I've read this entire thread and there is exactly ONE post claiming he's broken.I've seen about half a dozen posts about how he's broken. I'm surprised you havent.
He's generic in MK universe, not absolutely.Honestly what's generic about him?
What is unoriginal about a huge insane cannibal butcher that runs around beating people to death with work tools and always totes a huge chainsaw whilst wearing messy dress clothes and a mask made of human flesh?
Where is the lack of uniqueness in that combination?
People saying stuff like that and this whole "He looks cool and fun to play, but he isn't the character I wanted so I'd rather not have fun" stance is really perplexing.
Still think Butcher looks like it has potential to be stronger than Pretty Lady.Killer and Pretty Lady will be best variations, guys.

Liu Kang and Johhny Cage are somewhat "generic" because they're actually unoriginal at their core due to being based on other people and other archetypes. Leatherface by default is more original than the both of them to a degree as whatever inspiration he may have come from were minimal and not widespread in other characters in his inception.He's generic in MK universe, not absolutely.
For me, even Liu Kang and Johnny Cage are "generic".
But, at least, they belong to MK.
I'm relaxed. Just pointing out that no one should be 100% upset with NRS in any way as they made it clear in an interview before that if it were up to them, more MK characters would have made it in the game as DLC.I've always hated his inclusion, I just never voiced it. Regardlesss it doesn't matter at this point. I don't blame NRS but I was still unhappy about it. Relax El
I'll have to watch again this afternoon but with Leatherface universal Shinnok-like advancing low armor with what looks to be one of the best projectile games in MKX, Lady is gonna be a problem for even Quan on paper.Still think Butcher looks like it has potential to be stronger than Pretty Lady.
Yeah people seem to think devs have absolute power over the money machine in these types of situations. It's almost always the publishers/people who own them who want to squeeze out profit in less than respectable ways. At least with game of this scale.I'm relaxed.

Brian Chard said in an interview that if it was up to him he would have more MK characters, I don't think that reflects NRS as a whole. They probably had a hand in choosing Leatherface.I'm relaxed.

Yeah , both of them have unique and cool mechanics in the form of pursuit and resurrection. Both add flare and make sense for the character. Pretty lady is not only lame , but also makes zero sense considering the personality of the character.Have you seen Relentless/Unstoppable Jason?
I'm not ruling that out. They could have had a handful of characters that were proposed to them from Warner Bros to pick and that's who they picked. All I was really saying is that this wasn't 100% NRS' fault like some folks are making it out to be.Brian Chard said in an interview that if it was up to him he would have more MK characters, I don't think that reflects NRS as a whole.

I mean, a man crazy enough to wear a woman's flesh on his face covered in make-up seems like their crazy enough to throw chainsaws at people.Yeah , both of them have unique and cool mechanics in the form of pursuit and resurrection.

point taken. incorrect inferrence made. Should not have given the context / points about him being unique.
Do you know what the word "original" means or do you just like saying it? Maybe get a dictionary, google it, yahoo, bing, whatever search method suits your fancy.
You know what, let me help you out: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=original
That's true, and I suspect that as well. WB probably said hey guys, you need to have 2 guests this time around, figure it out. Or something like that idk lolI'm not ruling that out.

Sorry, but that's some vague reasoning. Unstoppable/Relentless have basically the same moves and the same gameplan. The moves being cool to you specifically, or to anyone, doesn't add diversity. I might think Pretty Lady is cool and adds flare. That doesn't add anything substantial.Yeah , both of them have unique and cool mechanics in the form of pursuit and resurrection.

Well I didn't say all 6 were in this thread.I've read this entire thread and there is exactly ONE post claiming he's broken.
