Definitely, spam characters are annoying in any game, I think the reload idea is quite dope and would add another layer, preventing the character from being a gimmick.
As for guests, two should be the limit. Rash felt kinda like a joke character so I’d prefer a more serious character that fits in the universe. So, no Chief, Arbiter, Conker, Banjo, ect.
I would like to see another Rare character though hence Joanna.
As for guests characters from other fighters, I said Scorpion because he is the most iconic by far (sub zero as well)
Basically, the second guest character should pull people towards KI to expand the playerbase.
If there is a third, it’d be cool if they did what smash did and put up a ballot.
But more than three is a bit on the lazy side honestly. The new characters that IG made are awesome and creative and I’d love to see what more they can do!
If you want to pull people to the game, a character like schorpion would do it, because fighter fans know him, so you would attract those fans. If you are looking outside of the fighting genre, Master Chief would by far be the most popular to use character I can think of, outside of purely nintendo/sony characters, etc…
I dont know how well the spear throw will work in the combo system, animation seems to take to long…
His teleport could be like shago’s but that wouldnt be very original the legclamb would be very slide like (like shago) but wouldnt really work in a combo either…
I think we need to look for characters out of fighting games, so IG can incorporate a surprising/new moveset
Well, I know that Naoto Shirogane from the Persona Series had a type of reload feature in Persona Arena 4/Ultimax. So you could shoot, but needed to reload after a certain amount of shots. Thereby making you vulnerable for a second or two.
We will have enough characters for story elements, too many and the cast becomes unwielthly (sp?).
When was the last time a cast off 25+ characters came together and were all usefull in a storymode…
Besides in the end it all comes down to the quality of the characters (design/style/moves) and if they are fun to play.
Given that it is MS, I could accept Chief or Joanna Dark.
Especially over the toad.
What this franchise screams for, are more monster and imaginative characters such as
Bow/Arrow huntsman or warrior type (male Wonder Woman?) even the Medusa from GOW
Swamp Thing (containments and projectiles) the blob creatures from MVC and BlazBlue are great examples (except maybe a human-based form like the creature from the Black Lagoon)
Warlock or Witch (imaginative projectiles/ containments) Rose and Ivy are two great examples
This is starting to feel nostalgic, in the sense that back in the day I never knew anything about a new game before the internet took off. The level of surprise and anticipation is about as high as when Xbox One launched with KI. It taps in to the first time I laid eyes on Mortal Kombat II after expecting Mortal Kombat 1.
We already have a Blade look-a-like in TJ’s alternate look (which I always use anyway, since I dont really care for the boxing (Ballrog) look.
I would however like a true vampire/dracula character, including morphing into Bats, wolf and mist…which should make him feel really insubstantial as a character and more a force of nature…kind of like how Aganos feels different from the rest. It sets him apart, a vampire should feel the same.
Wendigo <3, gunslinger, clown, ventriloquist, witch, frankenstein, medusa, creature from black lagoon, genie, king kong. These I’m hoping one or two make it to S3
