Who else agrees that there are too many fire-using characters in Mortal Kombat?

I mean look at this list:


Kintaro - Shoots Fireballs
Liu Kang - Has many fire moves
Kai - Uses fireballs ala Liu.
Tanya - Shoots fireballs, while they are purple they are still fire-like to me
Blaze - Is made from fire
Shang Tsung - Also shoots fireball-like objects
Goro - Has some fireballs moves in the later games.
Sektor - Uses many fire moves
Scorpion - Firebreath and hell moves
Sonya Blade - Fire kiss fatality
Smoke - A product released from Fire
Sheeva - Shoots fireballs


I probably forget someone.

Who should use the fire, and who should back down and find another hobby?


In my opinion the fire-uses should be: Scorpion (hellfire), Liu Kang (hopefully he's dead tho), Kintaro (the quick fireballs) and Sektor (but only the flamethrower)


- Shang Tsung should use souls that don't look like fire at all.

- Kai should change into a tiger/athletic character without fireballs.

- Tanya should use magic, not fire magic.

- Sheeva doesn't return so I don't care.

- Smoke = more like smoke so he's cool.

- Goro, Blaze and Sonya Blade should kill themselves for all I care.

I really hope there are only few (Scorpion and Sektor) fire-users in MKX, and I really hope we won't see new characters with fire based moves!

Why aren't there characters with the letters U, V, W, X, Y and Z...

Tanya is mostly the last in line with her T...

Fire is a very typically used element in games, because it is destructive in nature. Adding fire just for the sake of having some sort of effect is just bad design, imo.

I agree that there are too many in MK who rely on fire-based attacks. Hopefully that will change. I kinda liked what they did with Darrius in MKD-MKA, his attacks having a more energy-based effect than just fire.

I too would like a little bit more variation type moves such as grass, mud, dirt, rocks, wind and other more magic type moves.

The point was to avoid every character using the same element in their attacks. Not just to replace it with something else. Keep up. :P

I really don't mind as long as the fire is used differently between the characters using it.

Fire is usually used as fighters, guardians, and similar characters like that (had I remember where I jotted down in my notebook for a story I'm making that talks about fire wielding characters I would have wrote down more examples) so it's not that uncommon to have many characters have fire abilities.

It's not a bothersome to me.

Fire is definitely overused in MK.

Although from that list I'd say Shang can keep his flaming skulls, they're pretty dope.

Well, not ALL the mentioned characters should replace their fire powers with something else. Liu Kang and Shang Tsung makes sense, though I'd make Shang Tsung's fire be green or something to give it that soul-power feel to it.

Not that I don't like the idea of green-fire skulls for Shang Tsung, but wouldn't that make him and Quan Chi too similar?

The guy is covered in tiger-stripes + its a Shoalin Monk, Liu Kang uses dragons, Kai looks like a tiger-type guy, and Tigers are BIG in china mythology.

Shang Tsung's skulls would be flaming! That's the difference. And hey, they are both sorcerers who fiddle with souls, so it would make sense.

See, here's the problem I have with Quan Chi. I prefer people calling him a necromancer rather than being called a sorcerer just based on what he can do with his powers. Raising the dead, mind-controlling that has damage (when enhanced that could look like confuse from the Necromancer's class in Diablo 2), as well as being evil (since necromancers are 95% considered evil characters instead of good). I just can't call him a sorcerer, even though he's being called that. I do think he should blast out skull heads, but use skeletons and bones and such in a different way, as well as not having a fiery effect.
