Yes… I mean, I like Rash and everything and he fits quite well but I would prefer to get original characters that would be forever associated with KI. With guest characters you just now who is not gonna return for the next game anyway. For instace predator is your favorite character in MKX because of his moveset and whatnot? Sorry but he’s never gonna be in a MK game again.

I just want the remaining 4 original characters FIRST, (EYEDOL, GARGOS, KIM and TUSK) then new characters, and if there is another guest…let them not be comical or silly like Rash…Id rather see something more Dark/ Monstrous like (Predator, Jason,)…Dantes Inferno, …I guess a lot of people like Spawn, …I guess Joanna Dark could be cool if she is real tech savy like say Cassie Cage? That would be cool. But honestly Id rather have IG/MS build something new and great like they did with Kan ra, Aganos, Omen, Aria, Sadira and Hisako. I think the new characters hold there own much better than any guest would.
Agreed!!! Someone that can continue down the line in the roster for years to come.
Couldn’t have said it better…this right here…IG/MS take note from this guys post please.
Excellent point
Personally, I would rather have just two guests total and the rest be returning and new characters. I generally don’t mind guest characters as long as they fit, but having more than that would be kind of overdoing it.
There’s only 4 returning characters left, and that’s including Eyedol. So no.
what im afraid of is someone who doesnt fit right getting in. like the arbiter or general raam. i can not in ANY ■■■■■■■ way see how they fit. maybe they can finaggle the arbiter in there but theres no scenario where general raam can fit in KI without looking really out of place. thats why if someone like those two gets in and dont fit i wont support a season 4. i love the work done on this game but i’ll be damned if i support characters who dont belong.
Does Rash fit better than Raam or the arbiter in your opinion?
yes. his appearance can be explained quite easily. raam and arbiter cant. arbiter, however, is possible to be explained. raam cant.
You mean lore wise? Guests don’t need an explanation in the games lore. They are not part of the universe. Even if they give you an explanation in this game, in the next game they wont be there and it is as if they never existed in the first place.
they most definitely need an explanation. but we wont convince each other.
they at bare ■■■■■■■ minimum need to LOOK like they belong. raam could not. arbiter would be a big challenge. master chief wouldnt work. marcus fenix wouldnt work, etc. guest characters need to be picked carefully or you just throw the consistency of the art style and charm out of the window.
Does Jason and predator have an explanation in MK or are they just there? I don’t agree with your art style either, they will be adapted to the art style of the game. Halo lore won’t be hurt because MC is in KI neither will KI’s (no I don’t think Master Chief would fit at all but for other reasons)

they dont have an explanation. thats part of the problem.
at least you agree with not having master chief in. nothing would kill my interest in playing KI more than having that piece of ■■■■ in the game.
I was never for the inclusion of guest characters, Killer Instinct doesn’t need them. Rash is acceptable, he kinda fits in thr universe but his attitude is a bit on the childish side, Cinder for an example is comical but in a way that is humourous and makes it blend in with the rest of the cast.
The only other guest I want- sorry let me rephrase that because I dont want anymore guests, the only other guest character I think is acceptable is Joanna Dark. I think Master Chief or the Arbiter would be REALLY cool (mostly because Im a huge Halo fan) but I dont think those two worlds should crossover.
interesting how Rash are way more balanced compared to season 2 characters. And he still on beta! Don’t worry because only 4 returning characters are remaining. Plus we don’t know nothing about Eyedol yet. Kim is confirmed. Tusk is the next one. Then we’ll have Gargos at the end of the season. I want Eyedol too so no returning character would be left. At least 2 new will make the cut.
Why is that a problem? I never wanted them to be in the game but they are and I don’t think that what you mentioned is the problem. I think the problem is that other MK characters that fans love were left out and instead they got guest characters. But look you just made me realize why guest characters are a bad idea. Nothing would kill your interest in the game than havin MC in it, for me its scorpion. I mean… I would still play the game but I would hate that decision so much. Other have their characters that would kill their interest. Now by having multiple guests it would kill the interes for a lot of people. If they do Rash, MC and Scorpion some people already hate Rash, you and people like you would hate MC and me and people like me would hate Scorpion. In the end of the day you would kill the interest of a large part of the loyal community just to please some newcomers that will only try the game because character X or Y is a guest in it. It might be a good financial decision but horrible for the fans.

now you’re understanding what im trying to say. i dont like that rash is in. i think its kind of stupid. however from what they’ve shown of him i can say im fine with it. if i was just going through the character select looking at what the characters look like i wouldnt stop at rash and say “who the ■■■■ is this? he doesnt look right”. it helps that battletoads has been a dead IP for so long that many, many players probably wont know that hes a guest character.
you can also have an explanation as to why a certain guest character is there without it being canon. rash has quite a few scenarios that would work for him to explain why hes there fighting spina, or fulgore, or sabrewulf. i heavily doubt though that his appearance in KI will be referenced in the future battletoads game.
while im disappointed that there will be guest characters taking up slots for possible original characters, it could only ruin things if the decision on who to use is made carelessly. ■■■■, MC was in DoA at some point. not only does he look god awful but he looks so out of place that it turns me away from giving a ■■■■ about the series. it shows that they dont take their style seriously enough to respect themselves.
thats my entire problem. by all means, have guest characters. however choose who those characters are carefully or you can destroy what makes KI, KI. (on an aesthetic/charm level)

Why people are thinking that Scorpion would be a guest in KI? Are they trying to troll? Only Microsoft and its owned IP’s can make it. Cmon folks, Rash is in KI because MS bought rareware a couple of years ago. So yeah, only xbox exclusives and rare ip can have guests in KI. Is that hard to understand? Copyright issues.
its an example. same thing goes for general raam or the arbiter. its a character that would look incredibly out of place and wouldnt fit. that and LCD mentioned if he had a choice he would pick scorpian.
I hope you’re right. But of course they can have characters from other companies in KI. The other company just has to agree. NetherRealm doesn’t have the rights on movie characters that they have in the game and Namco doesn’t have the rights for star wars or link, or spawn even though they were in Soul calibur. I really hope they stick to MS characters.
