Don’t feel like you have to keep apologizing. It’s all good.
I care a lot about the story in KI, and it’s been fun/challenging/frustrating to make sure it all moves forwards accurately.
Calling us out when stuff doesn’t make sense is totally fine - like I said, it can be hard to keep track of it all, even for us, especially because there’s stuff from the arcade games in there, but some not, so it’s hard to have a “clean break”.
Honestly, in hindsight, it may have been better to just ignore the arcade games all-up in terms of story and start clean. Didn’t happen though, so “pardon our dust” as we get it all consistent.
I’m guessing that would probably mean Eagle also would have no reference to Thunder’s original design…cultural insensitivity & all.
If you guys do bring in Eagle, I did have one question/suggestion. I understand that these guys are Nez Perce, but perhaps some of their accessory sets could represent other native American tribes around the country? No I’m not just saying this to get a faithful retro Thunder…but perhaps an accurate Mohican outfit complete with roach headress, or perhaps Sioux…
Basically, I believe. Most fighting game stories are crap because it’s really hard to justify a storyline that can have a big bad and lots of problems and world-threat while still have it revolve around two or more individuals in single combat. Consistency, purpose and plausibility are nigh impossible to pull off, regardless if it’s an anime game or a Western one.
Unless you’re Injustice. Then you have a universe to pull from whose basis is basically incredible and exceptional individuals being the key points and catalysts anyway.
Yeah that to me all but confirms we will be seeing a playable Eagle in this game at some point.
A bit off topic but it still amazes me the way the guys at MS/IG interact with us on this forum. I am not trying to sound like a fanboy a** kisser but I have just never seen something like this before and it is awesome. I followed MKX since the day it was hinted at via a picture posted on Ed Boon’s twitter of a van, all the way until release and even after and nobody from NRS interacted with us on TYM the way these guys do.
To just come on the forum and give us all these details as to how and why they handled certain things from the characters to the story so casually is just awesome. No offense to Capcom, NRS or any other game studios but they all should be taking notes. This is the kind of relationship you should have with your community!
I just want to point out that my guess regarding the next character was kinda close. Raam is pretty punchy. Hes a little more stabby than I thought, but he is only slightly kicky. I missed how stompy and huggy he was though.
