Please... No more guest characters... Don't make the same mistake as Ed Boon

I personally would rather see Gargos and Eyedol both developed and playable before another guest is brought to the table.
I don’t understand why it’s so difficult to re-imagine both Gargos and Eyedol to be playable but Arbiter and GRaam can be developed? Both are huge and strange and seem like they wouldn’t fit in the combo system, but they made Arbiter work!! So why cant they make Eyedol work?

I will be disappointed if Gargos and Eyedol are not playable this season but a FROG, and strange legged alien with a gun and a huge insect alien make it (with a gun) and the OG bosses do not!

a billion % Gargos is in this game but Eyedol isnt.

i dont get why Eyedoll is harder to imagine than Arbiter either… to be honest thats just BS

the reason hes not being reimagined is that many thought he was cheap.

now put it this way… if you was going to make one more big guy would Ramm or Eyedoll help this game more in terms of exposure.

People are HYPED for Arbiter, We HAVE to think outside of this tiny community and see the bigger picture.

For me the above fits into the game as MUCH as anyone else!

ALSO… Ki central 400 plus votes on a website gearded at JUST KI and JUST KI fans has put Arbiter in second place. No matter what we think in this comunity we have to realise that Arbiter and Ramm could be the reasons as to why we get a season 4!

I dont see were either is that popular, I had never heard of Arbiter or ram until KI mentioned it. So its not as popular as everyone thinks.

They can bring in 10 more guest for all I care…but before that…Gargos and Eyedol need to be playable…or at least promised to be playable. That just how I feel about it…I want all original KI characters in the game…playable, with there own stage.

Just wanna give you the comparison here too…

This is why Guests really help push our game.

in terms of Gargos and Eyedoll Season 3 just isnt strong enough without guests (commercially) We dont have a cinder or a Riptor in this cast.

I can wait for Eyedoll. Id rather he be stand alone DLC ne way. To be fair to IG its not as if either were any good to play with in KI1 or KI2. That doesn’t mean i dont love them but it does me for me the MAIN full cast stopped at Tusk.

OH and u know what bothers me MORE than not having Gargos or Eyedoll 1st?

The thought that this game could go into limbo with them for another 18 years. Hopefully the numbers bellow on the guests will help Prolonge Kis existence so we can have more innovations.

#CINDER
(the poster boy most anticipated KI character)

#RASH

#KIM WU

#ARBITER

Have they confirmed that? You act like a redesign is not possible even tho they did one with every character already :expressionless:[quote=“dsfsdf, post:2, topic:5898”]
Eyedol is not coming back. hopefully and Im confident will not come. because he looks and plays like s**t with no charisma or lore.

That’s kind of where I am lol I love MKX’s guests because I am a huge fan of each series they come from, but I literally never heard of Rash, Arbiter, or the other guest until they were confirmed for KI. I have grown to like Rash though, I want to learn him when he comes out lol

They’re only some of the most popular characters from the two most popular Xbox franchises. Just because you never heard of them doesn’t mean they’re not popular. I never heard of The Beatles until Beatles Rockband, does that mean no one cared about them before?

Did I say that? Did i say that because I never heard of them they are not popular??? I just said I had never heard of them until KI. So why dont you just not quote me boy.

There is a difference between “its not as popular as everyone thinks and its not popular because I said so.”

And I could care less about your anologies

People want Eyedol more than Gargos, and IG know that…
I still hoping we have Eyedol for Season 3…

I hope so to, COME ON IG!!! Exercise that creativity, we want to see what other concepts you haven’t done yet.

Actually @WandaMaximoff has pretty much won this thread. That’s hard data showing that the current guest characters have double the YouTube views of the most popular KI character - which has about double the average for a KI character.

I’m not suggesting this means everyone should love guests - that’s up to you. But at least you should understand what is going on here. I’ve always been someone who argues that KI is doing great as long as I can get online and find a match. However, we are seeing clear evidence that MS wants to increase the number of people playing the game, and there is no question that guest characters are going to do that.

True, but at least make some room for some new characters that are in the KI universe.

I wouldn’t mind one more guest, tbh…

Guests make the game fun! :smiley:

As much as we might not like it, it’s ture and it’s exactly what will improve the install base on KI. More than eyedoll, eagle or whenever we’d LOVE to see from KI lore.

I wrote this on it take a read;

The hard truth tho is that Arbiter fits into this game perfectly BECUASE IG are so talented. They have sculpted everything so its completely in tune.

His play style is unique and his combo traits are brilliant!

If he was just another alien outside of Halo people here would love him. Forget hes a guest guys and look at thoes match ups :heart_eyes::heart_eyes::heart_eyes:

I have yet to see a fighting game with any guest character that I liked.
So far, no guest character appeals to me in any of them.

If the guest character appealed to me, then I might accept it in. But so far… I prefer there were no guest characters at all.

WHAAA??

you don’t like predator, Link, Spawn, Ezio, Heihachi, Predator, Alien, Jason, Leatherface, Master Cheif, Darth Vader, Yoda, Freddy Kruger, Scorpion, All 3rd party Smash Bros, Arbiter, Rash, (3rd KI guest character)!!!

C’mon you should like at least one :slightly_smiling:

I shouldn’t do anything, no.

Smash is a clash-game, so it doesn’t bother me that there are guest characters from other franchises than Nintendo… however, I don’t play Smash either way, so it wouldn’t bother me either way.

As for the others you mention - no, I don’t like them as guest characters. I think Link, Spawn and Ezio as characters within their respective franchises are awesome, but I do not like them in Soul Calibur. None of the guest characters in Mortal Kombat appeal to me one bit, not even in their own franchises. I don’t care about Star Wars, Scorpion is one of my least favourite MK characters, I don’t care about Halo, I find Heihachi boring even in Tekken… you forgot to mention Kratos who is in both Soul Calibur and MK9, but no, I don’t like him in either those games, though I do like him in God of War.

The only character I think is kinda cool to see is Rash, but only because he is a throwback to when Rare was glorious. As a character, I don’t really care about him though.

I would agree, though I am not going to be surprised if we get one more, I’d love for it to be more about the KI native cast.

I wonder how is it no one is able to correlate the idea that this is a new KI game and all old characters can ave a new spin, everybody did the same for Eyedol. You can’t decide on how good he’ll be or not because of what he did in the past games.

Video-game or other wise Guests take away slots from potential native KI characters. I get that people want their favorite dude from some other franchise to join in, but I feel those folks will not even become fans of the franchise when the next game comes along, it’s a coin flip.

I don’t really want KI to end up like SC4 where everyone was like “hurr durr that game with Yoda and Vader” though I admit that is reaching a bit.

Also: I agree with @WandaMaximoff while it’s so fun to hate on MS for some poeple, don’ forget, KI may have NEVER came back into existence if they decided not to give this game another chance. MS may be veiwd negatively but they have good sides, just as Nintendo and Sony have bad sides to them as well. There is no such thing as a pure good company.

All because of that?..you hate MS because of that? people have hated MS for alot worse things dude, don’t get me wrong but while it’s reasonable to expect everything you buy to work, this isn’t as bad as other cases.

I really haven’t had any real issues with MS personally or really any game companies for that matter, just little things I disliked, such as Nintendo’s Sakurai adding way to many Fire-Emblem characters, or I was iffy about a specefic platform like Sony’s PS4 with games. But that has all sinced changed and so on.

And before ya go calling fan-boy I shall tell you that I do not favor any particular console. Infact I also have a PS4 and Wii-U.

I’ll tell you this functionality wise: the PS4 and XB1 both work prety well and so close personally it’s just based on taste and what games you want.

You really can’t go wrong with one or the other.
