Im sympathetic to the people who's family had to suffer from this mans real life crimes. Being glorified in a video game is far from okay, tbh.
Leatherface barely has any actual similarities to Ed Gein...Buffalo Bill from Silence of the Lambs is a much closer adaptation.

In fact, I think the only thing they actually took from Ed Gein for Leatherface was the skin removal...

Pretty much, other than skin removal/wearing people's skin, a few things around the house made of bones/limbs, and apparent cannibalism they really aren't all that similar.

You DO know Leatherface was never a real person right? He was SLIGHTY inspired by a real person but Leatherface AKA Thomas Hewitt is a fictional character that killed fictional people. The only thing in relation with him and the real life guy is the skin mask. That's really it. Don't feel bad, Leatherface is 100% fictional. Plus they don't even share the same name, the real killers name was Ed Gein.

Also I am SUPER pumped for Leather. After the sadly low tier Jason (I still will choose you for fun Mr.Voorhees. Sniff) I think this guy might be THE guest character in the game. Something us horror nerds who are also MK nerds can drool over. Leatherface will more than likely replace Jason as my pocket character, and if the shoe really fits I might even give Cassie the backseat to him. That might be stretching it. That reminds me, PLEASE make this a intro NRS-
*Leather revs up chainsaw*
Johnny- (in a exaggerated voice) "Who will survive, and what will be left of them?"
If you get that reference I love you.

That would be a nice little nod to the original film's tagline ;)

Ignorant slaves, how quickly you forget.
Not a fan of the TCM movies, but I think I can get behind some reckless chainsaw swinging. Also I think the idea that they would do a horror icon fighting game just become more realistic.
Still couldn't do a no damage walkthrough of that game the water pool area of the third chapter always got me killed..........because of ashley......fack ashley
Edit: still kicked its ass on professional tho!

[/QUOTE]="FCP/EMP SCAR, post: 1957365, member: 9331"]Haters gonna hate, Thomas Hewitt is if not one of my favorite horror movie villian, I might have to drop Sonya, its that serious :([/QUOTE]
You seriously aren't dropping special forces are you?

Getting better with age
This is what I want
-----------
Massacre -- (footsies/neutral game) Chainsaw in hand gives extra reach. Think Slasher Jason with less of the fail.
Butcher -- (rushdown?) Forgoes the saw for 2 Meat Cleavers. Deals extra chip on block.
Torturer -- (Grappler?) Various means of inflicting pain, causing opponent to bleed. Much like D'vorah venom stacks
----------
Xray -- Full on run with the chainsaw revving, hits overhead. Use your imagination for specifics after that.
Win Pose -- Cuts off opponents leg and drags them screaming offscreen. Camera focuses on severed leg "Leatherface...Wins."
----------

A fan of fans
Chainsaw for sure.

Multi hitting armour break special ?

A friend said a meathook variation with moves like lobo from IGAU

I would prefer someone other then leather face but I'm sure he will have some great variations

We know he's going to have an asshole variation.. Every character does so on!
We'll see what Ed Boon personally does.

anyone on the admin team should make a leatherface direct link so we can immediately click on it, before they do Tremor's.

that'll rub some salt in the wounds.
 
You need to think about his qualities from the films - this will link to his variations, ala what they did with Jason!

The hook will feature - more likely as a fatality!

I can imagine some kind a manic run move where he swings his chainsaw around too
 

DarksydeDash

You know me as RisingShieldBro online.
Multi-hitting chainsaw strings that build tons of meter like Raiden's thunder god variation.
 
Not sure how they're gonna tackle variations for this guy because 1) would be difficult to see him without a chainsaw and 2) he should always have it anyway. I guess perhaps one variation would use meat hooks and a hammer.

Special moves he could have like a super high priority attack run. Or maybe give it armor.

Fatalities... Obviously the chainsaw throw the gut and lift up will be in. Maybe I'm not imaginative enough, but I can't get much more creative than that.

Victory animation = inspecting the loser's face as he prepares to skin it. OR actually cutting off the face and stretching it over his own. Not sure how this will work for Triborg, though.

How about a brutal hammer to the head and while the loser fumble away, gets tore up. Slasher style like Jason's lol.

Alignment: Evil Duh!

Costume 1: A dirty business shirt with a tie, an apron, tattered up jeans, and the mask he wears made of human flesh/skin.

Costume 2: A tattered-up black coat/jacket, and black pants. He still keeps/wears his mask and shirt with tie, though.
Bio:
The deranged serial killer, codenamed Leatherface, comes from a family of cannibalistic psychopaths in Travis County, Texas. Leatherface is known to murder random people, mainly those who disturb him, and other such gruesome acts as eating his victims and making masks out of his victims' flesh. His body count consists of 50 people. He's killed many people, all except for one of the victims during the time of his recent massacre. The victim, identified as Erin Hardesty, manage to escape from his clutches after cutting off his right arm. But despite having it cut off, he managed to carry it with him for he tried to catch her, but it was too late. Two cops who discovered 33 corpses in his dwelling tried to prosecute Leatherface, but they both die by his hands. One day later, his uncle rebuilt Leatherface's right arm by giving him a new right forearm. Now Leatherface is on the loose once again, and will stop at nothing to find the girl who fled from her fate, only then will he get his revenge.

Special Attacks:
*Sledgehammer: Leatherface whacks his opponent with a sledgehammer. Enhanced he whacks his opponent three times with the 3rd whack knocking them down.
*Spinning Chainsaw: He spins around like a top with his chainsaw erect to attack his opponent similar to Baraka's Blade Spin/Cyclone move. Enhanced probably similar to Baraka's Enhanced Blade Cyclone/Blade Spin move in MK9.
*Chainsaw Madness: He slashes his opponent 4 times with his chainsaw. Enhanced he slashes his opponent 6 times with his chainsaw with the 6th slash knocking them down.
*Butcher Knife: He throws a butcher knife at his opponent; can be repeated 5 times, especially for combos. Enhanced can be repeated more times let's say 6 or 7.

X-Ray Move:
Leatherface rams his chainsaw into his opponent's ribcage breaking it and then, as the opponent kneels down in pain, he gets out a sledgehammer and whacks the opponent in the back of the head, fracturing the cranium/skull.

Fatalities:
*Texas Chainsaw: Leatherface turns his opponent over to the back side and then impales him/her in the back with his chainsaw. He then raises his chainsaw upward, vertically splitting the opponent in half from his/her upper body to his/her head.
*Southern Cannibal: Leatherface chainsaw's his opponent in the abdomen/cuts his opponent's stomach open with his chainsaw and then digs his hand into the abdomen's open gaping wound and rips out his/her intestines. He then starts eating the opponent's intestines like a pig as they die.

Babality a what if idea:
Baby Leatherface clangs a rusty and bloody spatula and frying pan and starts cooking a big pot of blood and meaty chunks. He stirs it and seasons it with salt and pepper. 5 seconds later, The meal turns out to be ready for everything jumps out of the bloody pot and Baby Leatherface catches the stuff on a steel dish, which is revealed to be a human head (the head resembles that of a combatant Kitana fights in Sub-Zero's Story Mode chapter), along with severed limbs and cut-up pieces of everything else that was left of him.

Battle Intro another what if idea:
Leatherface prepares his chainsaw by pulling the string two times to activate it. Then that's when he gets ready to fight.

Winning Pose:
Leatherface wields his chainsaw up and starts acting up like the deranged lunatic that he is and making all these random noises.

Stage:
Travis County (fighting takes place outside Leatherface's house)

Ending:
Leatherface went to Outworld under the impression that his escaped victim, Erin Hardesty, could be hiding in another world so he wouldn't find her back at Earthrealm, but he could not find her anywhere. After killing Shinnok in the tournament, he continued his search around Outworld until he was encountered by Daegon, leader of the Red Dragon clan. Due to Leatherface's mental illness that causes him to be startled, which always result to him killing whoever startled him in the first place, Leatherface was about to saw the Red Dragon leader in half, but Daegon stopped Leatherface from killing him and explained that he not only learned about him and his infamous manslaughters, but also informed him that he found Erin, who he also learned escaped from and almost killed Leatherface. Deagon escorted Leatherface to the Red Dragon Clan's Stronghold, where Mavado introduced the Texan serial killer a tied-up Erin Hardesty. Leatherface activating his chainsaw and maliciously sawed Erin in half until she was no more. The girl who broke free from Leatherface's clutches actually became dead and vengeance was finally his.
 
Think about it... In this trailer, in the Leather face segment We have a Sorcerer (Quan Chi) a couple of thousand souls (Ermac) and a psycho who wears his victims faces. And remember Tsung's Joker fatality from mk9? If NRS are smart enough they won't add a second serial killer into one game. So this might be a very collaborative trolling set up to make MK fans worried about having 4 guest characters, when they could have had classic MK characters like Shang. And then when the time comes in his Trailer we actually see Shang Tsung.
