MK: Armageddon (Motaro Revealed!)

...and he's only got two legs.



Making Motaro have four legs would cause them to have to do a crap load of extra work, but excluding him would upset people including the MK Team. Can't wait to see how they explain his two legs... if at all.

This is apparantly old news from August 22nd, but I haven't been keeping a close eye on it. Deception was unbalanced and from what it looks like they're basically taking Decpetion and overhauling the number of characters and implementing a Kreate-A-Kharacter mode and calling it Armageddon.

Whos the furrie goro guy?

Re: MK: Armageddon (Motaro Revealed!)

That Furrie is KINTARO from MKII. (My fave character)

Never liked Montaro anyway so I don't mind.

EXACTLY WHAT THEY'RE DOING.

Re: MK: Armageddon (Motaro Revealed!)

Yeah, but honestly I really don't mind. They definatly will explain it, though. They explain everything.

Motaro has always looked stupid.

They probably will explain that his other half got cut up, and replaced with a metal tail.

Re: MK: Armageddon (Motaro Revealed!)

His losing half his body will be part of the reason he's participating in the tournament and he's supposed to regain his hind quarters in his ending. Considering half the characters were originally glitches or just palette swaps they have plenty of experience with making up stories for stuff they did just to cheat in the programming.

He always had the tail.

That's the story? It might be acceptable to consider that's the case... but a guy who's been a centaur his whole life now has to adept to being bipedal and still fight well enough to beat everyone else? They should've done better than that.

Besides, that still doesn't explain why he's so short. His legs were much longer, seing as a centaur is just a human torso replacing a horses head/neck. If he got his hind quarters back as is, he'd be like the size of a pony.

Re: MK: Armageddon (Motaro Revealed!)

Oh, oops, I forgot about that.

[Red Dragon]

Re: MK: Armageddon (Motaro Revealed!)

They probably just turned him into a Minotaur (yes, some minotaurs can have human-esque torsos.) instead of a Centaur, thus the stocky un-horselike legs. And will offer no further explanation.

Re: MK: Armageddon (Motaro Revealed!)

How would adding two more legs be a **** load of more work?

[Smurvis]

Re: MK: Armageddon (Motaro Revealed!)

Something to do with collision data.

All characters have two legs, so for example when like Sub-Zero does a throw, they program the animation for both characters. Since everyone is the same, it's just a matter of programming Sub-Zero's animation for the throw, factoring in ANY two-legged character model. By adding a 4-legged guy, they'd have to add a SECOND animation for every character specifically for when they interact with Motaro with their various moves.
