My review of Tyron Magnum from the other thread.

Note: If anybody would like a review just let me know.

My review of Tyron Magnum

Bio: Pretty solid story telling. His connection to Johnny Cage is subtle, but very believable and tying Tyron having a non-speaking role in Ninja Mime was rather clever. I like how he's a military brat, but would rather go off and do his own thing instead of just following tradition.


Fighting Style: Boxing is an unrepresented type of fighting in MK, the originality is a huge boost to your character.

Primary costume: Gets the job done and the product placement adds are an interesting touch.

Alternate: I love the alternate description, it's my fav of the two costumes.




Specials: Don't really care for the nunchuck throw, it just doesn't seem like it should be a projectile to me. I love the dog based special moves, very outside the box and original it reminds me of Jack Slate from Dead To Rights and how he used his dog Shadow to help attack opponents. I also like the Muay Thai grab


X-ray: speaks well to Tyron's abilities and is pretty unique, targeting the tendos was something different and executed well.

Fatalities are pretty straightforward and actually fit your character's specials and attitude, the second is particularly nasty.

Entrance taunt: I love it, Tyron is dripping with personaltiy and attiude, very appealing in that regard and it made me smirk.

mid-match taunt: also made me laugh, I love the attitude, really won me over with that.

Victory pose: I don't know why, but I just don't like the idea of Omen peeing on the opponent, just not feeling it.


Ending: Certainly delighted by the plot twist and how his ending stopped with a cliff hanger, leaving him with something unfinished, you worked your character into the canon nicely, without throwing things off.



Closing comments: You should certainly be proud of your character, unique specials, great personality, nice plot twists for story, fatalities fit character's style well, X-ray stands on its own as unique. Connection to Johnny Cage was clever and a reference to Ninja Mime and Johnny Cage was appreciated.

My complaints were minor and I won't repeat them.

Overall, your character is a well rounded and unique addition to the cast and a very high quality entry.


I hope my feedback helps and best of luck to yousmile






My review of Torment from the other thread

My feedback on Torment as requested:


Bio: pretty straightforward, interesting explanation for his powers as an evoulutionary occurence. Not much I can say on this part, it accomplishes its goal of giving him a reason to fight and his powers.


Fighting style:I don't get much of a feel for how Torment primarily fights, I just wish a bit more was included.


Primary cosutme:Decent, it fits what your characters abilities are and it would be interesting to see such a creature incorporated into MK.

Alternate: Nice to see he has a human and spider costume, always welcome to have very diverse, story relevant costumes.


Special Moves: Excellent use of specials, would make for an interesting anti-air character.


X-ray: pretty straightforward and brutal, this X-ray really highlights your character's skill set well.


Fatalities: The first is quite inventive and very well done, I love the originaltiy.
The second fatality was okay.

Ending: Bittersweet, also pretty straightforward and accomplishes its goal


Overall closing comments: Torment is a nice addition to the contest and he brings something new to the table in terms of speicals, gameplay,
appearence, and fatalities.

Good luck.

My character review of Abyss for Miko2668.

Bio: At first I was expecting some sort of revenge story on the Special Forces, fortunately you went in a unique direction and created your character to have redemption as his motive, he doesn't blame other people for his misdeeds, he takes responsibiltiy for them and changes his ways, this quickly establishes a very relatable and human character for me and made me intrigued to see what was in store for Abyss, nicely done.

I also really enjoyed how you correlated his bone breaking into his after-life abilities, very clever and felt very fluid and natural.

Fighting Style: A very original concept for a fighting style, using your ribs and spine as weapons truly piqued my interest, my only issue with this very unique style is that it seems lmpractical to visualize Abyss using his spine as a weapon. He seems lick a tricksters character and I really liked that you did a suitable job of describing him as a balanced character (able to keep away, yet play aggressive), really helps to get a feel for how he'd play in game.


Primary Costume: It's a nice costume, reminds me of Drahmin's look, yet its distinct enough from Drahmin to make Abyss his own Oni demon.

Alternate Costume: I like that his alternate appearence ties nicely into his Oni form with subtle details like the hair. He looks like a brawler with leg wraps and armor, which works for his Black Dragon history, I love when character has costumes that are story relevant.


Specials: A very well rounded moveset, giving Abyss good defensive options and offensive tools. His attacks are unique and give us a nice balance of his bone manipulation powers.

X-ray: A truly original creation indeed, I found it relatively easy to visualize (aside from the spin lasso), but it was pretty gross and very well done overall and it gets high praise for its originality and gross effects. I apologize for mentioning my difficulty of mentioning the spine lasso, I just have a difficult time picturing it.


Fatality 1: Great show, it reminds me of Sareena's difficulty to control her demon form ( I mean this in the most completementary light possible). I like that your fatality reminds me of the iron maiden torture device and the Oni consuming the victim's flesh just adds to the creepy nature of the fatality.



Fatality 2: The fatality is decent, though I'm having a bit of diffculty picturing how it would play out at some parts.


Entrance taunt: Short, but to the point and encompasses what the character's struggle to be a civilized entity and suppress his primal Oni urges, I approve.

Mid-Match taunt: Same thoughts as the entrance taunt


Victory pose: Scary and unique victory pose, consistent with his lack of control over his Oni nature.

Ending: His ending brings his redemption story full circle and the pay off of regaining his humanity as a reward for defeating Shao Kahn was a nice touch and set up Abyss to have a future in the series.



Closing remarks: I really like Abyss, redemption characters pulled off well are my favorite, it instills so much hope and really makes a character feel more human to me. His specials are unique and fresh. My complaints were minor and were not worthy of mentioning again, this is another pretty solid character and I'm very impressed with this character, best of luck to you.

Review for Keilenaten

Minor Details:
The name is very odd, I do not know where it originates from, but it is unique and cool. However it may be a mouthful when referring to a character. Having more female characters is always a plus. The realm she resides from is very cool, having a character from a unique or mysterious realm is something I've longed for (Jade's ending seemed a perfect match with this character) The character's entrance was explained reaaaaaaaally weirdly, but I got it. If someone was to skim through it, they would not be able to understand what you meant. Her taunt had messed up grammar, and her victory pose was way too long, and involved an already beat warrior.

Bio:
The realm was called Asrdubal I think? Let's keep it that way. Siding with dark magic which defies the Elder Gods, causing the realm to be banished works really well. As I go on about the bio though...she becomes overpowered in her story control, however you give her weakness through what she is capable of, and you put her in the same position as Raiden, which I thought worked well unexpectedly until you gave her too much control with her story. Saying she had given Raiden false visions is completely unnecessary. Opening a portal to a disclosed world doesn't happen as easily as by altering time, if she had met Shinnok using Astral Projection he could have created a portal with Quan Chi's aid.

Appearance:
I love gold obsessed characters, they stick out like sore thumbs when they have gold fever. Her look is very sexy, and the painting (what looks like one) is very well done, it won me over in appearance. Her alternate is rather cool too (from what I can picture) It fits well, and doesn't mimic Tanya with all that yellow color.

Fighting Mechanics:
Being agile, fast, and powerful are things that make a character overpowered, however, the fighting style has much to do with range grasping and clawing techniques require close range, which means her style can be balanced out against fighting players without being too ridiculous. Her specials are unique, and are overall useful. Seeing as all of them can be able to be blocked, and are useful if they make contact. I see great usefulness in Time Freeze and Flashforward. This is where your character makes most sense in game.

X-Ray and Fatalities:
Keilenetan's X-ray is not only brutal, it is plausible. You should have only described the "pushing" motion better, such as forcing the opponent on all fours, breaking their wrists and kneecaps. Your first fatality could have been explained a bit better, but the half-naked aging is cool, unoriginal, but cool. Your second fatality was more original, but strange if visioned incorrectly. I had to think about it for a while till I could say "that would work"

Ending:
The ending was pretty good actually, the twist was well deserved. Not much too say about it, but well done.

Overall:
Compared to Krimson, I liked this character for her originality. Krimson appealed to me as Kira with some red afteraffects, this character could fit very well (gameplay-wise) and that really stuck out while i was reading her character profile.

Out of 10-
Minor Details - 8 (Explaining problems)
Bio - 4 (Way too much story control)
Appearance - 9 (Works very well)
Gameplay - 8 (Well done but fighting style could be nerfed)
X-ray And Fatalities - 7 (Explaining problems)
Ending - 10 (Perfect ending)

Overall - 7/10

My review of Keilenaten for Cyberelmo


Bio: Starts off very solid with well woven together homages to Egyptian culture and the mystique of the realm was very intriguing. I also a fan of the royal family drama as that was often the case with power hunger rulers. i enjoy fiction that brings a healthy balance of realism into it. She has connections to plenty of characters, giving her a behind the scenes relevance that works for her. My only complaint about this portion is the lack of an explanation of what an entire realm could have done to provoke the ill will of the Elder gods. I think that would really help.


Fighting Style: I love your fighting style description, unique and interesting to read, not much to say on this part because of my limited knowledge of fighting styles, but I enjoyed your descriptions.


Primary costume: Fitting for her background, though I would have given her some other colors to counterbalance the gold, though it is a nice costume.


Alternate: The costume sounds lovely, my only complaint is that I would have given her an additional color to counterbalance all the gold.

Special moves: She has a very balanced moveset, my favorite is the astral projection and turning the opponent old for a bit to give her a slight advantage, enjoyable and unique.

X-ray: Targeting the tail bone is something we haven't seen in an X-ray before, props for going for a different approach. I like this X-ray, but I'm not quite sure how her pushing them to ground breaks their knee capps and wrists.

Fatality 1: Original and excellent use of her time manipulation powers and you did a good job of encapsulating how cold and beastly she is by having her eat the dust of the dead.

Fatality 2: One of the strangest fatalities I've read all competition, reminds me of Scarecrow's neurological hallucinogens, very nicely done and very creepy.


Entrance: I know what you were going for and it's a cool intro and it encapsulates her time manipulation powers and her views of her own superiority well though.

Mid Match: It's pretty good stuff, it seems to fit the character nicely, no complaints.

Victory pose: I love it, so original and just picturing it seems like it would be a rewarding victory pose that wouldn't get old. I smirked after reading it.


Ending: I like the plot twist of Shinnok and Quan Chi not murdering her, but her astral projection and I love how you set her up to have a prominent future in her ending as the new head villian. I'm a huge fan of there eventually being a female boss or sub-boss in MK, really nice work with this part.


Closing Comments: The bio for the most part is pretty solid, though it could really benefit from some elaboration as to why Mystic realm had done committed such egregious violations to merit its banishment from existence. Fighting style and costumes work well, but I would have given her more color aside from the gold to really set her costumes off.

Special moves are balanced, several are fresh and original, excellent use of astral projection and her time status powers.Fatalities and match taunts are clever, original and really fit your character's background story and abilities. Ending is perfect for setting up a future for youe character and as a possible female boss, I'd love to see that.


Overall, Keilenaten is a pretty nice entry, I would just focus on an elaboration of some points like why her entire realm was banished, I enjoy your character though and best of luck to you and Keilenaten.

My review of Cerastes for Jaded-Raven I felt compelled to finish this quickly as I enjoyed reading over him.

Bio: The story telling is pretty solid and easy to follow, I thought it was interesting that you described what it was like to live under Shao Kahn's rule and the taboos of discussing their Edenian heritage. I really like this bio, but I think Cerastes could benefit from an explanation as to why he was sent to the Netherrealm upon death as the character doesn't seem to be a particularly evil or corrupt individual. I like that Cerastes appears to be a wild card in this conflict, overall pretty good story telling.

Fighting style: One of the more unique fighting styles described in this tournament and I love the way Voldo moves. Very well thought out and straight to the point, while still conveying all the relevant information, I like it a lot.

Primary costume: Described with superb detail and his look sounds both unique and eye catching, making him memorable, while still referencing his occupation as a member of the Brotherhood of Shadow.

Alternate costume: Similar thoughts to the above costume, but I happen to find this one to be my favorite, don't take this the wrong way, but it reminded me of S&M gear(which is not a bad thing at all), I like innovative and unique designs and his outfit seems very intricate and I love the usage tusk like spikes.


Special Moves: A nice balance of diverse moves that show off how fluid and agile Cerastes is and puts his Psionic blades to good use, the move description were well written, easy to understand, and enjoyable to read.


X-ray: Another fresh and unique element of your character, similar to his specials moves, a good use of his tool set and easy to picture, I liked it quite a bit.


Match taunts: Establishes Cerastes's personality well, he comes off as really enjoying what he does, almost getting sexual gratification from his actions, a rather interesting protrayal indeed, it caught my attention.

Ending: I liked that even though Cerastes was loyal to Reiko and didn't blindly follow Quan chi, keeping with the wild card vibe I was getting. it really showed off his personality well and his refusal to kill Reiko really strengthens the character. My only issue is how did Quan chi and Shinnok react to this? Did they take up arms against them?

Overall: I enjoyed Cerastes quite a bit, I think he could have benefitted from an explanation of why he was sent to the Netherrealm and a little more info on how Quan Chi and Shinnok reacted to Cerastes disobeying them.

His moveset is unique and fresh, he brings a nice evasive trickster playstyle to the table which is great. I'm also a major fan of his unique and out side the box costumes, original and nothing like we've seen in mK before.

Your attention to detail in explaining his specials and costumes was impressive and easy to follow

Despite some minor issues, Cerastes is a good entry, I just recommend explaining a bit more about his origins (why he went to the Netherrealm). I enjoyed him and he's one of the most unique entries I've read.

I hope my review was helpful.

My review of De Kai and De Kio for zerosebaz( I apologize for the delay buddy, but here it is for you).

Bio: Very interesting dynamics of this being's soul, the explanation of De Kai and De Kio was well explained. I also found them moving from a neutral balance of light and darkness to a fighter that takes a stand a nice touch, curious as to him his masters are, perhaps you left that out to leave some mystery for De Kai and De Kio.


Fighting style: A very through walk through that gives us a suitable picture of how they play and the general gameplay section is something I have yet to see with any character, you took the gameplay and fighting style section and kicked it up a notch, I'm impressed.

costumes: I like the original elements like each one having a portion of yin yang tatoo and each one having only one earring in their ear, my only issue with the descriptions was the reliance on the reader having played certain games or seen certain clothing (like the Elder God's Armageddon attire).


Special moves: Explanations are good and it's a mixed of offensive and defensive tools and their alternating abilities seem like they work well enough

X-ray: Decent and I liked the explanation of just how much damage it takes away.

Fatalities: Nice that each one gets their own and is more befitting of their dark and or light nature, I emjoyed the variation

(p.s. you speak/write wonderful English)


Taunts: Interesting to say the least, the variation between the two works well and I like the attention to detail.

Ending: Is great because it brings the character full circle and leaves me wondering what new entity De Kai and De Kio will become.



Overall I think this is a good character, though some fine tuning in his bio, clothing descriptions, and an explanation of who is masters are and how De Kai and De Kio came to be divided into two bodies would boost them up and giving them a conneciton to more characters could really help them benefit and grow

This is such an original and delightful character, some minor missing details could really boost this character up and some minor tweaks, but I love your ideas and in depth gameplay descriptions, you put a ton of thought and effort into this creation and it shows.


I hope my review was helpful take care.

My review of Kevshi for Acidslayer

Bio: The bio, while interesting doesn't give us much on Kevshi, why did he go insane? I'm not sure if it was because Kenshi ocershadowed him or because of all the people he murdered, it would also help if you elaborated on what made Kevshi take a very different path from Kenshi, a little more elaboration would help get the reader more involved.

Fighting style: I think this is a section that could use more elaboration, when introducing a new style to your audience, it's important to give a detailed and extensive explanation and how tae Kwan do works with this style.

Costumes: The huge contrast to kenshi's look is welcomed as making characters distinct is very important, I'm picturing him as more of a character with an anime feel (which isn't a bad thing) though for Mortal Kombat I'm not sure how that translates.


Special moves: Some rather interesting specials like the bone prison and the acidic pentagram made good use of his dark powers, the Snake and skull summon were interesting and reminded me of Harry Potter, which I like. The Katana spin attack throws me off as it seems like a move Kenshi would have as aside from this move, there is no indication that Kevshi is a sword master as well as it wasn't mentioned in his fighting style or on his costume..


X-ray: It seems a bit bland in the sense that with him having such strange specials for his X-ray to not include some of his magical abilities, the chain being used as a weapon would be more fitting if it was apart of his special moves arsenal and I think this X-ray could of benefitted from the usage of Kevshi unique and prominent elements, like his dark magic.

Fatalities: i think they could have benefitted from use of his magic, the fatalities are decent, but I would really go a more mystical, dark magic route with them as it seems more befitting of the character.

Taunts: Suitable as is, not much to add on this matter.

Ending: I found this ending less than satisfying, it was too brief and left me wanting more. I know it's a minor detail, but I like for people to be specific when they discuss who they defeated, like "the boss". It could be Goro, Kintaro, Shang Tsung, Shao Kahn etc.


Overall: My review might come off as too negative or nitpicky, but I can assure you I mean no harm by it, I just think Kevshi could use some fine tuning. You did some nice things with his specials and giving him a distinct look, but unfortunately I found some sections lacking in his story, ending, X-ray, and fighting style.

Kevshi has potential and with some more time and effort I think this could be a truly unique character, despite his relation to Kenshi, you were on the right track with his specials and look, just drop the Katana and tk and go from there and Kevshi can be great.


I hope my review was helpful.

My review of Serenity for Icegrenade

Bio: I like Serenity's bio immensely, she develops from an objective observer to compassionate protector and I love how much development she received. Her motives are intriguing and the fact that the gods are so stubborn about not preventing even their own destruction fits well with Serenity and I could see a plot like that developing as the Elder Gods are a stubborn lot. The bio was well written and easy to follow.

Fighting Style: I love your attention to detail, I really got a feel for how Serenity plays and it appears she can take out and put away her ring blade, which is an interesting strategic set up and her vital point targeting is a unique and welcome addition to the fighting styles of MK. A nice elaboration on her playstyle.


Costumes: Superbly done, I adore her costume with the hood over her head, the black and gold color scheme looks very elegant and regal, befitting of a goddess, she looks mysterious and dangerous. Her other costume is also very lovely, I adore the sleeves she has, her dress and hairstyle are superb and it's nice to see the contrast between the two looks, solid character design for sure.

Special moves: a superb blend of offensive and defensive tools round out her moveset, her time abilities are utilized to great effect.

X-ray: Pretty unique and original X-ray that speaks to her abilities and plenty brutal to boot, I love the ring blade finish, nicely done.

Fatalities: Both lovely fatalities, I specifically enjoyed Ageless the best, but both were executed well and were unique and welcome fatalities that compliment Serenity's skill set and her gameplay.

Taunts: Serenity shines in this field as well with the most original and creative taunts I think I've seen in this tourney, her win pose is genius, I love it. Her intro is both funny and super cool to picture, superbly done. I enjoyed her mid-match taunts as well.

Ending: Shows Serenity growing and developing superbly from a cold observer to a caring ally of Earth. The ending leaves the door open for Serenity to return and gives a nice hint that Serenity' involvement will bring about further consquences, short and to the point, it accomplishes so much for your character in such a short amount of text, that type of efficiency is superb.

Overall Serenity is as solid as a rock, superb designs, gameplay, story, etc. Serenity has the whole package deal and is presented with nice detail and excecution.



Serenity has certainly earned her place in this tournament as a top 12 competitor and you have much to be proud of with your creation.

p.s. I just realized our match is coming up like tonight lol and I wanted to wish you the best of luck, but with the level of originality and intelligence you put into Serenity, you don't need it, take care and I hope my review was helpful, good lucksmile

thanks for the review. i wanted him to feel different than kenshi. so i gave him a unique look. some of my favorite games are anime like guilty gear for example.

the fighting style was hard to describe but if i could explain it better i'd say it's more like zappa from guilty gear and hwoarang from tekken. zappa uses his style in the way he moves is like a centipede and he can contort his body in various ways. hwoarang uses tai kwan doe. it's that typle of style kevshi uses a various akward movements but fights with tai kwan doe.

the fatalitys,xrays could of been way better.

his story and bio i knew would be lousy. i'm just not good on creating stories so i focus more on moves and appearance.

to answer some of your questions.

he uses tk because he has the same blood as his brother. which i think would be neat if they explore how kenshi got his tk. think of it more like x-men it's a gene mutation.

the sword part i thought would be neat if he had a weapon like his brother but be different. that's why i incorperated it into his moveset.

why he became evil. he lost his sense of pain. he felt his honer was betrayed in the since he was overshadowed by his brother kenshi. kenshi more good and kevshi more evil. he dispises his brother and wanted to learn more skills in combat which his brother disaproved.

hope that answers some of your questions. i only made the character in an hour and if i put more time into him he may of been better. thanks for the review. also i don't find you being harsh at all. you were quite helpfull.tongue

Wow, i forgot this trhead existed XD

Thank you for the review of De Kai & De Kio, i'll take your advice in some points. The costumes were probably their weakest part, so next time i'll work with the description and ask a friend of mine to draw my charachter. And the problem with the story i think it is the fact that they are still a concept, or they feel like it. They lack a relation with the rest of the cast and there are a lot of things about their past even i don't know.

I don't think you'll ever see them again, as i have another (completely diferent) charachter in my mind i might write for a future tournament, but still your coments were really apreciated :)


Oh, and i don't write in English as i would like to, but i do my best :)

A note to everyone requesting reviews, make sure to check not only the main thread, but the fan submission forum and stick around, your reviews will be posted around the dealine I give unless circumstances prevent me from doing so.


p.s. any other reviewers out there, it would be greatly appreciated if you'd throw your hats in to assist, I don't mind doing reviews(it's fun in fact), but alternative opinions on characters really help the creators get a general idea of things to improve upon and some may notice faults I missed or additionally provide better advice than myself. Since we're all a community, character reviews could possibly be reciprocated as it means everyone wins as opposed to just getting the opinion of one person.




I'm glad my reviews have been generally helpful and well received, thanks guys and gals, you have all been glorious.

You're very welcome sir, now Hworang I remember from Tekken, that helps quite a bit.

I'm not sure if they ever did elaborate on Kenshi's telikinetic abilities' origin, but it would definitely be a good idea to add that to his story.

In regards to him being evil, his motivation is resentment at Kenshi's greatness, so he wanted to be everything Kenshi is not, I can appreciate that type of story telling very much, especially since it's a very common reaction to resent someone's success.


I'm pleased you gave such a detailed response and I'm so glad I could be of help, thank you for explaining things more clearly.

Wow, i forgot this trhead existed XD

Thank you for the review of De Kai & De Kio, i'll take your advice in some points. The costumes were probably their weakest part, so next time i'll work with the description and ask a friend of mine to draw my charachter. And the problem with the story i think it is the fact that they are still a concept, or they feel like it. They lack a relation with the rest of the cast and there are a lot of things about their past even i don't know.

I don't think you'll ever see them again, as i have another (completely diferent) charachter in my mind i might write for a future tournament, but still your coments were really apreciated :)


Oh, and i don't write in English as i would like to, but i do my best :)

You are very welcome sir.

That's a good point and a very mature train of thought, you should be very proud of your creation and how fresh and original of a concept the two beings were.

I wouldn't mind seeing them again, but I'd also like to see what other innovative ideas you have to bring to the table, such a good read through.

Oh and about languages, your grasp of English is certainly better than my Spanish and French, I'm medicore at best in both languages, but they are quite lovely regardlesssmile

Is Crow still posting critiques? I haven't seen any floating around since Round 1, unless I'm looking in the wrong places.
And I might as well throw my hat into the ring for critiques now that the contest is almost over. The character is Yaray and he did do very well for himself. I'll also return to critiquing since I have pages and pages of notes that should probably be put to good use.

No, he hasn't posted one in a long time. I think we'll see an influx of them once the contest is over.
