In DoA it was just a Spartan but not the Chief. We actually have the same opinion on guest characters, we just might disagree on which characters fit and why.
then at this point the conversation is over. i hold really harsh opinions on guest characters. especially with a game thats half the charm relies heavily on the cast design.
If that’s the case, they need to ask Konami let Raiden and Blade Wolf from Metal Gear Rising Revengeance be guests in KI and make them work as Galford and Poppy from Samurai Shodown.
konami
AAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA
they arent interested in anything that isnt raping a series into a pachinko machine purgatory.
I feel you. I love everything about KI, from gameplay to art style but if I had to choose my favorite thing about KI I would say the roster. Guests make me upset too 
Edit: Why does the sad emoticon look like a surprised one?
yep. lol Konami is dead. yeah
…this is ridiculous. We have people in this thread making it seem like they’re disregarding some great lore to this game for whatever reason. We have an anthropomorphic wolf, a ninja, a skeleton, a mummy, what amounts to a demon, a ghost, and a DINOSAUR THAT BREATHES FIRE. Lemme repeat that last part. A DINOSAUR. That BREATHES. FIRE. That is straight out of a five year olds imagination. And you draw the line with a Battletoad? Honestly!? Cmon.
Also, I’m not trying to hear about taking any fighting game seriously. If you can accept a large red man whose main source of buffing his attacks is by pouring cooking oil all over himself in SF4, a Miley Cyrus look alike who has a fatality called “Selfie” in MKX, and a RACCOON who seems to have the entire Acme catalogue in his back pocket in UMvC3, you can accept a Battletoad (and other guest characters) in KI. It’s gonna be alright, guys. Seriously.

im not one of these people but i believe its the fact that they’re a guest character and not an original one.
I still think that it applies. If the character has a look and moves that fit into the combo system of KI, it shouldn’t matter if they are a guest, returning, or original character. The game is still the same overall. Furthermore, I think that these same people are kind of forgetting that they don’t have to pick him to play the game.

go read cyberizations post in this thread. he pretty much covers that aspect. infact he pretty much hits the nail on the head.
I read that whole exchange. I do feel all parties have valid points. I do have faith in IGs ability to balance the character regardless of where they came from. But like I said, that character has to fit. MC and Marcus do not fit that bill IMHO, but I don’t think that I would feel alienated to the point that I wouldn’t want to play the game if they were added. But that’s just my opinion after all.

I am not much for guest characters. They don’t fit. And many times many people don’t have a relation to these characters. MK9 as an example. I played it on 360. But if I had the PS3 version I would have gotten Kratos… I’ve never played a GoW game.
Their existance is basically money. Drawing people in. Fun for the mainstream masses.
How many got excited that Predator is in MKX? (probably the best guest yet) A whole bunch I guess.
I bet the FIFA fratboys really loved Freddy & Jason.
It’s going to be interesting to see the ratio of originals/guests for S3. I hope that info comes soon.
This is what i’m trying to explain to people in my area that guests aren’t bad. plus most people who don’t like the characters do not have to play them! its not like its mandatory to play Rash and who ever else shows up.

No.
Honestly surprised that there’s this concern about it.
thats not the issue. to make this issue clear let me put it this way, as well as change rash to, say, master chief.
sure, i can just not play master chief. but hes there. theres nothing i can do to prevent being paired with a player who does nothing but play master chief. his existence bothers me to the point where i will either just leave every match i get paired up with him or just out right quit playing the game.
so to emphasize my point. hes not that we ‘have to play him’ its that hes ■■■■■■■ there. thats the problem of having bad guest characters in fighting games.

Honestly, it’s not gonna shock me if KI only ended up with 2 guest characters. It’s the right amount.
wait so you issue is that they’re there as part of the roster? its a valid opinion but I’m sorry I don’t agree with it and I’m not gonna try a convert you to think anyway. On a side note though, I don’t think Rash is a bad guest character.
just go read cyberizations post here. he can explain it a lot better than i can. its not that people hate the idea of a guest character. its mainly that it could be handled very, very poorly. like master chief in DoA or pretty much every guest character in soul caliber.
also i dont think rash is a bad guest character either. he was handled very well.
Okay so I read the post and I agree with that. If IG can make them work then great but if its for money and there is no real bases for them then I see where you are coming from. I think 2 guest should be more than enough for this franshise and that is including Rash. I get where you’re coming from and I again am not here to convert anyone including your way of thinking.
gonna be honest though. the whole agree to disagree ■■■■ isnt something i expected. i expected a shitshow similar to the pc port threads. then again the forums havent been up for too long.
