Then is it too much to ask that some form of standard is upheld? There is nothing elitest about having standards, it keeps your product from becoming totally random idiotic crap.
Fighting games have always had goofy, silly elements to them, many of them still do, itās a part of their overall appeal. Street Fighter has joke characters, Tekken has fighting circus animals, Mortal Kombat had Friendships and Babalities and loads of the early Fatalities were in fact, really silly, DOA has ridiculous boob physics.
What standard exactly are we upholding here, again?
I feel ultimates are humiliating enough to a player to be honest. You already need a supreme to do them. Now if they are adied great more content but. I feel like we could get better stuff in game besides them. So Iām a tad torn
Yeah thatās true. But there is a time and a place for everything. When mortal Kombat wanted to be funny you got babalities which were funny as was the point. When street fighter wanted to be funny they had a bonus stage where you beat the crap out of some dudes car who comes in and cries when itās busted and when ki wanted to be funny they had humiliation which were hilarious in their over kill.
There is a time and place for everything. Ki is an otherwise serious fighting game, but to add characters like beavis and butthead because itās funny is neither the time or place.
With how ridiculous the character archetypes are, and how farfetched the story is, I really would have to disagree with you here, Iām not even talking guests:- Kim is a bratty teenage unlikely hero, Spinal is hilarious to listen to, Cinder is KI Deadpool.
The characters are movie archetypes loosely bound together in the story because itās awesome to see a vampire take on a werewolf, or a dinosaur beat up a robot, nobody is taking this all that seriously, otherwise weād never have suggestions like T.J Combo with a shark head.
Iām not sure where youāre getting characters being able to perform a dance finisher on their opponents as being utterly ridiculous from, given the crazy world this game is taking place inside.
Also itās not on par with adding Beavis and Butthead as characters, that seemed like a completely random subject change considering we were discussing Humiliations.

No, itās not too much to ask, but to be honest even if they did add Humiliations in one way or another I would guarantee that MS/IG would make sure it would be done in a way that it would match the tone of the rest of the game.
That being said the flailing animation in TJ Comboās and Ariaās stage ultras are a pretty clear indication that the KI team doesnāt take the game too seriously.

Just have a cutscene with two Spinals laughing at you while pointing at you (breaking the 4th wall) if you fail to land one hit during the match and lose.
That will do it.
