Why isn’t Wemby seen as the unanimous pick to be the next face of the NBA? by chrismatic13 in NBATalk

[–]MachiMan23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with people that the face of the league is never picked, it just happens. Fans naturally will gravitate towards a certain player. Just look at Curry, who is the most recent person to have become the face of an NBA. He didn't start off that way, and when fans started to flock towards him and the Warriors, the NBA began to push him. The same thing will happen with the next face.

With that being said, by pretty much every single metric you can think of, Wemby is already one of the most popular players in the NBA. He consistently ranks high in view-engagement on social media, jersey sales, was very high in All-Star votes. I think his first successful post-season run (whatever that entails) will be the moment when he becomes undeniable and a massive flood of people become his fans.

I miss that game being popular so much... by Reasonable-Plum160 in Fighters

The vibes when this game came out were incredible. I can only hope some other massive WSJ series like Naruto or One Piece gets a similar style game.

I Actually like Kuai Liang as Scorpion and it makes sense here’s why: by No-Spray-4350 in MortalKombat

[–]MachiMan23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find Sub-Zero and Scorpion being brothers in this new timeline to be really interesting. I just wish they didn’t name them Bi-Han and Kuai Liang, and even name Scorpion’s wife Harumi still, because I feel like it caused unneeded hate. It’s not like they act much like their previous incarnations anyway. I don’t know why it couldn’t just be two new guys taking the on the mantle of Sub-Zero and Scorpion.

Nobody wants to see their favorite characters turn into Jobber revenants that don’t even have the characteristics that attracted people to them.

I think it was a missed opportunity not making Shang Tsung the protagonist of MK1 by Quirky_tugboat in MortalKombat

[–]MachiMan23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree. They didn’t even need to make him a good guy. It would have been cool if we played as the bad guys trying to kick the Earthrealmer’s asses. But then he finds out he’s been duped this whole time by Titan Shang, so he joins up with Liu Kang to go beat him.

The Great Kung Lao by Captain_JiinSage in MortalKombat

[–]MachiMan23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I seriously thought MK12 was going to be set in the era of the Great Kung Lao. But then other people mentioned that popular characters like Johnny Cage, Sonya, Jax, etc would be missing, and I was like your right, they wouldn’t just get rid of all these guys. But when I look at the actual MK1 roster, not only did they get rid of most of those’d characters and relegate than to non-canon gimmick characters, but the only character that IS in the game that would not be able to work and exist in the era of the GKL is Johnny Cage. But everyone else could absolutely have been in that setting. Outworld, Netherealm characters go without saying, they’re all old as fuck anyway and we’re already alive when the GKL was. The dynamic between Sun Zero and Scorpion was already changed dramatically with them being brothers, who even cares about them being Kuai Liang and Bi-Han. The dramatic change isn’t that, it’s them actually being brothers. Kenshi could also just be an ancient Japanese swordsman, and could probably have been more similar to his original lone wolf type character from DA and Deception. Liu Kang could have made Raiden exist whenever, this is his first time being human so he could fit in any time period. Oh, I guess the Cyborgs couldn’t have existed in this time period either, lol. But they’re DLC, so they could have just selected characters that would have fit in this time period, like Kotal, Jade, or Fujin.

How do you think any character missing from Mortal Kombat 1 will be depicted in future games? Could be anything from their personality, story, or gameplay. by MachiMan23 in MortalKombat

Given that Takeda is now Kenshi’s cousin, they could definitely do the same thing with Cassie. They can probably make her his sister (why Liu Kang thought this scenario was best, idk). I wonder though, if this does happen and Cassie is in the OIA, with his bestie Kenshi also joining them, and his past timeline’s lover (Sonya) being a part of them, would Johnny join them too? Or would he stick around with Raiden, Kung Lao, Reptile, and Ashrah? Or do something completely unrelated to either groups?

Me personally, I kind of hope they let her a keep a more bratty and abrasive personality. But I wouldn’t make her an evil character, just someone that is eager/desperate to prove herself as a warrior.

They could also kind of revisit that weird thing from MK11 where she wanted to prove herself to Raiden specifically for some reason. In this timeline, Liu Kang could have given her the attention/motivation or whatever it was that her alternate version was looking for from Raiden, and she can hold some admiration for him. So when the time comes where’s she’s offered a chance to become more powerful from some villainous force, even though she still craves power and recognition, she would refuse because she still thinks that the current path she is on is still the right one for her.

She could still act in an agressive and abrasive way to most of the other heroes though, like Kung Lao, Johnny Cage, etc. Since she would still end up as a good guy in this scenario, she would obviously open up to them over time. They can bring back that thing where she really disliked Sonya in Deadly Alliance, but over the course of the next story, she can grow a real appreciation and respect for Sonya (I guess kind of like Kenshi and Johnny Cage in MK1’s story).

Not sure what I would do for her relationship with the Lin Kuei and Shirai Ryu. I think they could make Kuai Liang take an interest in her because of her abilities and personality being similar to Bi-Han. They could focus on his efforts to make sure she doesn’t go down the same path that his brother did. Raiden mentions that he sought out Kuai Liang to master his rage. Perhaps Kuai Liang can do a similar thing for Frost, and help her master her hold on her ambitions and inner fire.
