So true.

And real heroes do not attack their parents with the intentions to kill em. Ahem. Actually, Sindel was saved by the love and sacrifice of her daughter.

Congrats on making the dumbest post ever. Keep it up.

To me, the fact that we still know so little about them is making them more interesting, not less. I like the other new characters, but they've had enough exposure for now, imo. Do people really need to be spoon-fed everything in order to be interested in someone or something?

@JadedReign
It's your problem if you're the kind of person who gets too easily distracted by comic relief to respect a character. Ferra's dialogue might end up making me laugh, but if she and Torr have a great story, then I'll still take them seriously.

@RazorsEdge701
Hulk is a pretty deep character, even when he's his brutish illiterate self. There have been deep characters in fiction who were mute. And I doubt Ferra's broken vocabulary will be as bad as that of the average message board member.

Oh yeah and fragile Sub-zero dies from a punch. I really hope that when they do kill people off in MKX they don't do it in this weird anticlimactic way MK9 did.

I'm followin my advice just fine thanks. I don't trash someone's favorite in retaliation for them talking about mine...that's silly.

Your opinion is your opinion.

And for reference: Ashrah, Sheeva, Kintaro, Reptile, Baraka, Kabal, Mileena, Havik, Skarlet, Nitara, Kai, Drahmin, Frost and Tanya...all those winners lol

Oh and D'vorah is looking very interesting.

I honestly don't give two shits about the storyline. I gave up on that long time ago. I just care for the game play, and when it comes to that Kitana is always fun and exciting to use. If I recall correctly, she was/is the most used female fighter in MK9. And a lot of skilled players used her in tournaments. It's a testament not only to her popularity, but also to her versatile game play.

In short, Kitana shits all over Ferra/Torr.

Eh, I think Hulk's depth is all hype, all his different incarnations are just writers playing around at the surface level with the idea of multiple personality disorder without ever giving Banner consistent, set-in-stone personality traits. He acts radically differently from writer to writer and in adaptations, from actor to actor. You don't see that kind of wishy-washy vagueness of personality with, say, Batman or Spider-Man.

Also can't say I've seen a mute character with much development outside of prose where the writer can go in depth about their internal thoughts and feelings in a way that you can't do in film or animation.

We'll find that out if Kitana makes it in as a playable character. We'll go online in a match via PS4 (if you have one that is...?)

Well, they don't appeal to me. It might change, but as of now... don't care about them, really.

Not what I meant. I respect Cage and Stryker as the comic relief characters that they are. Style and execution are important factors; and FT, so far, is off the mark for me.

I mean I'll give them a try...

At some point after release.

I pray to God you're being facetious. Otherwise, this post gets the Nutburger of the Week award.
As for the thread itself, no, they're not underrated. The damn game isn't even out yet.

I actually like how Ferra talks lol its fitting since she looks like (Or is?) a child, I thought it was kind of cute :/ And like somebody else said, the lack of information on them makes me more interested in them.

Ferra has been confirmed as not being a little girl since E3. The devs consistently call her "little lady" for that reason. The stilted speech is likely just to indicate her primitive (so-to-speak) upbringing.

As for the pair, I'm still intrigued. They interest me far more already than a number of goons and mooks present in the series.
Edit:
I, too, am curious to see what lies beneath his mask. Either they're trying to keep his face a secret, or they haven't integrated the animation of the burlap cloth falling off his face properly (maybe.) I dunno.

I'm very curious about Torr..According to the Kombat Tether, his mask purposely stayed on when Scorpion performed his fatality on him. I feel like there is something NRS is hiding with that.

Yeah, I'm probably most intrigued by F/T and Kotal Kahn, but I'm psyched for all of the new characters. If F/T has more grappling going on, that'd be even better. Love grapplers in fighting games.

Only thing I worry about at this admittedly early stage is that due to Ferra sounding kinda primitive and Torr not talking at all, I can't see this character being overly unique in terms if how the story plays out. Totally speculating, and I hope I'm wrong, bug this character seems to have "monster punching bag" written all over him/her/it/that, which I'm really sick of seeing in MK.

If it's just a case another case of "a fallen Outworld race getting promised something by someone evil and they become a minion" line, then they need to take that shizz back to the drawing board and come up with something better, because we've seen that enough as it is.

Regardless, I like this character design. Sure, it's a borrowed / heavily inspired idea, but the design works for me and they look like a lot of fun, even if they should really reconsider the Hulk-speak.

I'm all about Mad Max, so Ferra & Torr are intriguing to me, and it pisses me off that they haven't received plot details or in-depth style breakdowns in the way that Raiden, Sub-Zero etc. have had. Even Kotal Khan got a display of his three different styles.

I mean, we've seen then in a few gameplay vids and we've received a loading screen render. There's just not much to go on yet.

I don't buy the "They don't look like MK characters" garbage, because this series has had everything from lizardmen to centaurs to terminators to samurai to half-dragons. There are no defining traits as to "what makes an MK character." People said the same shit about Cyrax and Sektor nearly twenty years ago, not to mention Stryker.

We just need more info on them. For now, they're my most eagerly anticipated of the new cast members we've seen.



Allow me to be the first to insanely speculate that Torr is somehow the deformed reformed reincarnation of Shao Kahn's body. It's the eye, man, I'm calling it now.

I kinda like them.


I am not a fan of the more magic charactres, save perhaps Shang Tsung. MK has a problem with magic stuff, mostly because they cannot really come up with creative stuff. Mostly fireballs, skulls, teleports etc... I kinda dig Quan Chi's bat, for the same exact reason.



There is a certain aesthetic to physicality, hell, Hsu Hao was a good example of that.

Probably the ones I like the least from the new guys. D'Vorah aesthetic and moveset looks really interesting and dynamic, Kotal Kahn seems to have a lot going on and I like his moves aswell. Cassie looked a bit bland at first but I'm liking his dialogues and her moves, while some of them are borrowed from multiple characters (ironically I think he borrows more moves from other characters than from her parents), I like them too.

Ferra/Torr... when they were revealed I liked them, but they've fallen, they have this aura that screams "I'm a goon and I'm not really interesting" that others had before them. In a game where all characters have 3 different playstyles, Ferra/Torr doesn't look too dynamic on the moveset department, at all.

And I don't even find Ferra funny, it's annoying and has her own personality, but I don't like it too much to be honest.

But you know what really made them completly uninteresting for me? Goro's reveal. Just thinking about how Goro could physically destroy someone that relies on physical strength but doesn't look as strong, fast and cunning as Goro, and whose only advantage is the ability to throw a scratching pigmy (not to mention that Goro has fireballs and probably he will have a dragon variation focused on that)... Seriously, they were robbed the "best big dude in the game" title the second Goro was announced, and big dudes that aren't even the best at what they do usually become really boring.

Could not agree more when talking about all the new character till this point. I'm really happy with their unique and different looking powers which has been an issue in MK during time. Taven, Daegon, Kobra, and earlier on even Kai... All were given fire based characters which was a lack of creativity if you ask me. Tanya returned in Deception and she also was given fire powers. Really dissappointing.

Ferra/Torr is not my favorite out of the 4 new kombatants announced but I'm really interested. Wanna see the background story and how this duo will play. Torr even seems pretty fast for a big hulking guy. Some say they look out of place. Well, maybe. It's really different. and i'm all for that. Will give full opinion after playing MKX for a while. And that's quite some time away.


Also, why are people comparing newbees to veterans? All about personal opinions. If you think FT sucks, so be it. If you think FT has more potential then Kitana, so be it. It's fun how people pushing their opinion down the forums. Much fun to read.

I don't care about Ferra/Torr or D'Vorah.

Ferra is annoying.

I'm digging them so far. They have several things going for them:

-Big brute character that's playable
-Tandem (2 characters being used in 1)
-Guardian and little girl dynamic
-Not magic/chi/powers based

I think it's really going to depend on their relevance and role in story mode. If they aren't just a simple background character, they have the foundation of set for standing out and being popular enough. Id take them over a decent number of the MK4-MKA characters, a lot of who don't really "stand out" IMO.

I think they are related to Kotal Kahn, most likely his henchmen.

Didn't like them at first, but they grew on me. They seem pretty badass.

But you are a simple Kitana (good girl, princess peach) guy, such creatures have little interest in the more original characters, and never care for the bad-guys, because they are evil to their favorite little princess.

BLERGH! I hate such vermin.



Ferra/Torr is one of my favorites, I don't care that I probably never play as them, I'm more into the stories than gameplay anyway, and these two seem to really fit in and i'm curious at their story.


They probabaly have a bettter story than Sonya and Kitana combined, and are hated for that.

And here we go.............. AGAIN!

Another stupid prick has nothing nice and definite to say about a not so popular new character, so he proceeds with bashing other peoples favorites, namely Sonya and Kitana.



^ This statement is not even a speculation. It lacks basic logic and happens to be an anachronism.

Cretins and trolls are usurping this board and there's no one to stop them. Is Mick the only moderator? Does anyone care?...

Fine.It was nice meeting some of you guys, but I can't take the stupidity anymore. Goodbye.
