And people think I am harsh lol

It's all about opinions. None of us are NOT going to defend our own creation. But I also know that we should take the rough with the smooth too.

How is what I said harsh? It is direct and not rude. Maybe a bit blunt but I mean no disrespect. I do like these characters as I stated before remember? These are just things I think should be addressed if they were used in a game. When it comes to when my character is in the line up I refuse to vote. Just the way I feel it should be.

I meant to disrespect either! But just because I picked something out that literally stood out at me like a sore thumb, People start to think I am looking to discredit the character. Which I'm not.

To my understanding. Kahn cannot step foot in Earth realm. But does so without punishment. He has time to have a small invasion of Greece before being tempted to take a baby as a slave to save themselves. I can't see Kahn's personality being one for bargaining with humans that are going to be annihilated anyway?

Kano and his Black Dragon are a major force on Earth and have betrayed the human race. That is the only reason Kahn hasn't destroyed them, because he can use them. I am sticking strictly to the rules the Elder Gods set for Kahn. He can't step in and out of Earth realm as he pleases, let alone be aloud to physically take a human child from Earth back to Outworld. The Elders would then have grounds to punish Kahn there and then, not wait till the tournament is over. Kahn committed the ultimate crime against the Elder Gods' rule.

These are details I hope the judges look for. Knowing the boundaries of the MK universe is yet another key to a good canon-style story.

I know I am being harsh! But I am not taking the piss out of your story or character! I like all the stories and characters so far! But my eye for detail get's the better of me.


Okay. Don't worry about it..you're just paying close attention to detail.well, maybe , like you said, this event took place during the fall of shinnok. I have my own methods to my madness. During her sacrifice, the elder gods were far too busy with their own dilemna. Thus Kahn set out for the little while he could, to take back prisoners. And yeah, they were eventually going to be annihalated, but not at that exact time. They would have more time to round up troops, build weaponry, etc.

While your intentions might be good, it just LOOKS like youre only picking on eliblue's character because you keep bringing her up in many of your comments.

The thing with Alexandra's bio is that Shao Khan cant go to earthrealm because of Sindel's spell, the Elder Gods would only punish merging them. At least that is what is said in the story mode. So Shao Khan could have never been in Earthrealm 17 years before the tournament.

I'm sorry UltimateSavage but I have to agree, I do feel as though you have singled out my character even before its time to vote. I undetstand the flaws in the canon, I GET IT. But enough is enough. Move on already, there's more characters than mine you know. Its very discouraging when you have just one person on your case about a part in my canon that only YOU pointed out. It makes you look bad the more you keep bashing her, like you're trying to get rid of the competition. Please, you've strongly stated how you feel about her story.At first I didn't really care what you were saying, but now, unforunately, its irritating.

Well it is MKO remember lol. You have to ignore it and vote the way you see it. I use pros and cons and 1-10 scale to get my finals and than after that I pick from them using favoritism. Right now I am stuck because the final 3 I have left will be hard to choose from in my view.

Just a bit of a window for fans out there...imagine how the team feels when you critique their hard work and tell them all the harsh stuff. This stuff I have said is cake with icing on it compared to some of the critique I seen fans post. When your creations get analyzed and voted on...just remember that. Especially if you are one of those people that were harsh to NRS.

Picking winners are not easy when you like many of them...I almost feel like the amount of participants is too much lol. If the competition is that good than I feel sorry for the main judges and for Crow lol.

I think it's because it appealed to me more. Or the fact that the other character's stories didn't have any Elder God rule breaking. But as I have just been told, The Elder could have been blinded for a small time due to their own troubles. Kahn only had a small window of opportunity to quickly round up some human slaves.

I have also said that we cant put down as much details as we'd like, but small things like what I have mentioned that could fill in the gaps, goes a longer way than you think.

The other character had things that were out of the rule of the Elder Gods. But I am one for canon detail of the MK universe. My own demise lol.

As we can do pretty much what we want with the stories we come up with, I would like to think that we can still stick to MK universe's ruling.

I know I am making myself sound bad to you all, but I do expect my character to be dissected just as much by you all.

We are all in the same boat. But I do mean NO disrespect.

I do, and i know my charachters have a problem with it, also with the vs screens. But well, i hope is not that much of a deal. I'm worried because nobody answered my question, and i'm begining to think i'm the only one who described the full movesetXD

Okay UltimateSavage, I get it. However I do have to agree with a comment above that it is a little bit odd that Alexandra seems to be in almost all of your commments. Not once have you said anything good. All you've doneis pointed out the canon's flaws..only MINE. You say that it is to help but it ISN'T to help. We cant change any part of our stories now. If you have your opinion, that's great. STICK to it and stand by it. What I don't like is how you're trying to bash only my character on here to make everyone aware of itm you DON'T have to. People on here are smarter than you think. And when it comes to voting, I could care less how you vote Alexandra. All I'm asking is that you stop discrediting my character because of one minor flaw in your eyes that may have not been one at all. You've been targeting her for a few pages now and it starting to get annoying. All you've said is negativity, and by chance, only about my character. I get exactly how you feel about her. Now please, if you have a heart, leave me and my character alone. I've received enough critiscm from you. Do you have something against her if you're going to talk about her that much?? Maybe what you could do is look back on your comments and you'll recall only bashing my character. Your opinion is known..now please stop.. Your "opinions" were okayat first..but now they're only a repetition of you criticizing only my character.

Hmm...maybe that should have been mentioned in the worksheet...how to pronounce the names. I mean like mine is pretty easy...Luna. The "U" is pronounced as 2 O's like as in "toon" and the "A" is pronounced as "uh" like the word "up" without the "P" in it. lol

Mine is pronounced "D on" and "Bore Doe" for the last name. If anybody is curious. Question, did anybody else use Armageddon create a character feature? I can't draw to save my life, so that was my only means of visual aid. I wish I had Soul Calibur just for this reason.

Maybe it's that the other stories didn't stand out as much. Did you think of it that way? No... But I have said that I am not trying to discredit your character. I may seem harsh because I am a victim of canon details of the MK universe and the rules that are in the games story.

I have also said that I am expecting it all back. I want people to rip apart at my character to pick out the flaws in the goal of creating something better.

I have given your character more publicity than you'd like. You know what they say, any publicity is good publicity.

But if you think I am as harsh as you think I am, I could do a hell of a lot harsher as I think we all can. But this is in the goodness of competition. The judges will be looking for everything that might be out of place to the canon that exists. I am sorry for being one for details, but I am not sorry for pointing it out. To me, it stood out more than anyone else's minor flaws. But their flaws stick stuck within the limits of the rules (just).

I am also not BASHING your character. When have I said anything bad about the character? Never... I understand your right to defend the character. We are all going to be doing the same. Me included when hell fire (you guys) start burning holes in my creation.

It's the competition within us all.

Eli I understand how you feel but if you keep bringing the topic to surface it will keep going. You should let it rest. Remember it is just 1 opinion so try to calm down because he may not be the only critc that has things to say. Remember it is a contest after all. Plus,I am new to these contest but I would be careful filling in your story line because it may go against rules or something. Not sure about it but I would think that if your character has been posted already you can not add to it or change anything. I know your trying to explain things but is that allowed?

Wow,all the years I been a lurker I never started reading into these tournaments. Someone fill me in on this...is explaining things allowed or no?
lol I am a noob.

My first time too. I only joined up here about a month back!

I did also give my minor opinions on some of the other character too you know.

The character that reminded me of the movie Splice.

The character that was more for the world of MK Rebirth.

Nothing wrong with movie referencing. Half of the real roster is based on movies and popular culture so why not? Sure it seems a bit out of place but I liked it.

Because crow and I might have a diferent view on things. He doesnt care if the bio is a short story told in the perspective of another charachter but i do. I want the charachters to fit in the game, if you managed to make a charachter that is on a posible mk10 timeline but still fits, then great you might have my vote, but i really can't think of an example for it.



That's fair. That's all I ask is take everything into consideration. Having my kharacter appear post-MK9 was a risk due to the possibility of everyone not liking my fan speculation on how a MK10 timeline might be, but I trusted my knowledge of current canon characters of the series and their characterization, as well as what I think fans would want to see for a future game, and am now leaving it up to fate. Hopefully, I did well with it, and I hope everyone enjoys my take on things.

And also the beauty of having a thread to talk about kharacter voting, too. Anything that's not explained about a kharacter in their bio page (due to be too lengthy or simply things the creators hadn't thought of) gives more room to flesh things out. further.

That is really important, but it doesnt mean that you can't be influenced by other media. It would be o most imposible to make a charachter completely original, that has no resembles to games, movies, comics, etc. They know that too.
