I guess I'm one of the few who're relieved at not having to control a centaur to play as Motaro. Not that I'm saying chopping his legs off was good, but from a playing standpoint, yeah it had to happen. I mean, did anyone ever play vs. on UMK3 with Motaro? That fucking sucked.

to be honest i kinda felt that it would be this way. around when i heard it would be hard to make him have 4 legs i tought they could just make him a satyr or minotaur whatever you want to call it. his new look is cool imo since i 99% garuntee that he wont be in future mks he just isnt really that big a character so i say just enjoy that we have him and hes playable

oh yeah, because who needs movement in a fighting game?
i don't understand why everyone is so angry. this isn't 2d, people.
limited movement was fine back in the days of 2d games. but in a 3d fighter, how the fuck is a horse going to do anything? horses can't sidestep. he can't follow an opponent who is rotating without looking absurd.
everyone is whining about motaro being a minotaur, reptile and smoke not being human, tremor not being in the game. how are any of these things surprising? midway didn't half-ass motaro, they just made it possible to play as him.

Isn't he a Satyr now then? I mean he is more of a goat than a horse now.

Good point. It's not like they gave Liu Kang tits or anything like that.

As an animator and 3d modeler in a game developing studio I can tell everyone that in Motaro's case the game engine is not a problem. They should model him with 4 legs and as a low polygon character, it would cost 200 or maybe 400 more polygons. PS2 can handle 2 million polygons/sec easily and more. So when they make the model, they have to make new rigging for him, because they can't simply copy-paste the ordinary character rigs from other characters. It's a bit more time and money but not as much. When they make the new riging for him, now coms the keyframe animation, because they cannot use motion capture for him. This is also a bit more work but it really isn'T so hard. Because he is a sub boss, he don't need aerial combo. In MK2 Shao Kahn can't jump but it is not a problem because he is balanced elsewhere. In MK3/UMK/Trilogy all the bosses like Shao Kahn, Motaro, Kintaro, Goro. All of them can'T do combos which is main part of this series but they are still playable. In MKDA Moloch can'T do combos neither jump-kick or stuff like that but he is also ok. As for the side moving, I saw in lot of movies when centaurs turned around and it could be also done easily. So all in all it could be done with a little more money and time. But as I see, this new MK team on the top with Ed Boon has a strategy like this:"Try to make an MK for those stupid fans with the lowest amount of money and make big profit with cheap ideas." This is why I like Japanese games more, because for japanese, honor and quality is on the first and second place, money is only the third. MK team has no honor neither quality. For MK team money is on the first, second and third place. I'm a classic MK fan and I liked the game tll it was developed with the old MK team with Tobias on the top. Now it is all about money without quality. It's not about lazynes, the guys who work there are payd to make everything what is needed. The decision is in Boon's hands who choose always the cheaper way. Of course this is only my personal opinion but everybody try to judge himself. I'm just an old, disapointed MK fan. Peace!
ps: sorry for my bad english
