Just think about how much room a 4 legged Motaro would take up. He wouldn't be able to rationally fit on anyone's TV screen. They'd have to scale him down in size. Then he'd be Minitaro and people would still complain!

Exactly. Plus do you realize how awkward it would be doing certain fatalities to him? Like This one for example.

I prefer the centaur Motaro! I hate the 2 legged version of him in MKA! but... thinking if he will get a good movelist, then I don't care about the number of his legs...

4 legged. I really didn't get why they made him 2 legged in MK:A. Guess they really tried to add all the karacters...

I definately want to see him in MK9 with 4 legs. He can be a hidden character to fight. Oh, he should be playable too. Most people like to play as Boss characters and I am one of them. This is why I like Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter because you could play as the Boss characters.

thinking It just won't work. They could put his back legs off-screen but he'd still be...incompatible with most Fatalities.

Motaro with 4 legs in 3d will look awesome, even if they make him a dlc character I will defo buy him.

Also the old version of shang tsung looks kool, the one in the shaolin monks intro, maybe they can make this a second attire for him...

Yeah, 4 legs is better than 2. But I don't like Motero as a character. So it makes no differense for me anyway.

If anything just to do him justice. The game would not allow us to perform a fatality on him. He will have his own death animation as well. Something similar to his in MK3. Where he just falls to the side, maybe instead he could walk back and fall. I dont know, but they managed to do it in MKDA, with Moloch. He had his own death animation, why not Motaro too.

This would perhaps lead to him not being playable either.

Which will allow midway to do with motaro as anyway they want. They can finally give him justice.

See the one thing I dont understand is why midway broke theyre trends. Bosses and Sub-Bosses were not playable, but of course Midway listened to the fans in our cries to make them playable. These big monsters should not be given playability. The only thing that was OK was the Shokans. They were balanced. But Motaro isnt the same, Onaga isnt the same, Moloch isnt the same. Unhuman like bodies are difficult to manipulate in a fighting game. Unless of course the creators know what theyre doing.

God of War has Minotaurs and Segitarius' theyre fighting, moving, and death animations are balanced. So we know making motaro would be possible, its just not, due to the skill Midway has.

I have faith that by now Midway would know what to do. Either give Motaro justice or dont have him return.

How about...

Sub-zero freezes the front legs and kicks them off leaving Motaro a lower position. The Subby kicks his head off. wink The rest of his body stays, lol.

I agree.... because Motaro was designed with 4 legs..... There's no harm in puting Motaro's four legs back....

too be honest im kinda of bored/tired of these BIG sized bosses n subboses. first came goro and then shao khan turned up. now we got so many of them added including: kintaro/motaro/moloch/onaga and blaze. they all work on the same basis: slow/sluggish moving with powerful attacks to an extent they r replicas of 1 another. i say we just stick to one of these being in mk9 along with a comletely new villainESS as princessa jade started! like an evil queen or something. just shao khan and goro should remain, with one of em in mk9. kill the rest off......

What you really want is a female boss for MK9 and to that I say NO!
