I think Hal from Malcolm in the Middle said it best:

"That's just ridiculous; no one beats Sub-Zero."

I think the whole Scorpion - Noob - Subzero - smoke intertwining storyline is the best.

Yeah I totally agree but I also think they have to go into more depth with sub zero/ noob sotry line. It was said in one of the articles that this game is not cannon so chances are the people we get are not the survivers of MKA but scorpion and sub will def be in the mk series after MKA. My point being is im gonna be pretty ticked of if the next cannon game the kill of noob and dont include his story with sub zero. I hope this makes sense?. lol

Another one of your topics...

well my opinion:

I think Sub-Zero nor Scorpion are that great at all. They are WAY OVERRATED. I mean we get it Boon, you like them, do you have to over use them ?

I mean Scorpion's spear is really cool how it comes out of his hand, but Sub-Zero is just like IceMan. No originality.

They are used so much it get's old and fast. Why so many people like them is beyond me? I think the reason many like them is because it's the "Social Norm" to like the typical "safe" characters like them.

Social norm? That may be someone else but not me. Sub-zero is basically the poster boy for MK along with Scorpion. I've liked Sub-zero ever since MK:SM. The power to manipulate cold and get a nice free hit into your opponent is oh so satisfying in the field of battle. Sub-zero himself shows that a guy can be cold and still make plenty of allies. Sub-zero is the best thing that ever came from Mortal Kombat, hand down.

I see your point but thats like batman and superman not appearing in a DC game. Dont think people would buy it. There the driving force in my opion and there stories have grown alot since mk1 to MKA and there is still heaps of stuff that has not been reveled (sub/noob). I still see your point do why ppl would think there overrated but I would have to disagree.

well yes, I agree, like batman and Superman, they are what keeps the series together, but I don't understand why so many people like them so much as to make them their favorite character.

I mean Sub Zero, like all the others, look completely the same except slight differences.

Yes, that's pretty good. I think if something is good originally, they should not change it, because it could go two ways, even better or much ,much worse. So far they have barely changed him ,which is just the way I like it.

The rivlary also makes them pretty good, every knows a good nemesis rivalry always ends up in a good fight:
Sub-zero vs Scorpion
Kitana vs Mileena
Sonya vs Kano
Liu Kang vs Shang Tsung
Kung Lao vs Baraka
and the list goes on.

By no means are either of these my favorite characters, but I have liked Scorpions costumes more over the years and this change is no exception. I think if perfectly fits who he is and I hope they keep it for MK:8, Subby's new costume is also a keeper, but to me it just isn't as awesome as Scorpion's.

The Whole point of this topic was how they have changed MK, it specifically said not to post stuff about if they are not as good as such and such or post how you dont like them... if u dont like them why are u in this topic?

Scorpions spear, oh boy...

It was all good in the 2D Mortal Kombats, but from playstation 2 and beyond, it really lost it's usefulness.

His spear now travels at the speed of one of the slowest projectiles, and has the longest recovery rate from a miss or block I have ever seen.

But it's all fair, I guess that balances out it's seriously cheapness or pulling your enemy in for a cheap hit.

I guess people like scorpion because he's pretty well known. When I first played Deception, I only liked the characters I knew from before...

I like scorpy's default costume way better the subz', because sub shows his face. Plus, it looks cooler tongue

to be completely honest with you, I never used Scorpion after 2d haha. I loved him in Mk:Trilogy because yeah, the spear was really quick and his shadow punch or whatever.

Since the 3d, I rarely use those kind of characters. I can't really tolerate MK in 3d actually. I bought all the 3d games and can't play them for more than a week or 2 after purchase....

maybe this will be different?

I don't know about others, but to me, MK is so different than other fighting games and not in a good way...

anyways I may actually play with Subzero and Scorpion in this game, esspecially if they dont' have Mileena or Kitana, which will be impossible lol
