It's not the fact that people LIKE him - it's the fact that they ONLY like him because he's a ninja...despite the fact that he was boring, and unoriginal, he has the biggest fan following of any character. If he looked like some boring ass Tekken character in fatigue pants and a tank top, would Tremor be popular? Would people even remember he exists?
No. Period.
So again - no matter how much progress this series makes, people will always be hung up on boring, uninspired characters if they even remotely resemble a ninja. Hence why Chameleon/Khameleon are the most requested characters after Tremor.
There is NOT a lot of hate for Tremor. The majority of the fan base adores him. It's people like me who were pumping quarters into MK1 in the early 90's, when probably 90%+ of the modern day fanbase wasn't even born yet...shit, their parents probably were barely out of kindergarten...shaking our heads at how rabidly fanatic people become over stupid characters.
I like him because he's an earth elemental wielding powerhouse. Not a single character in the franchise is an earth elemental.
Bonus points for being a ninja.
and lol at khameleon/chameleon being the most requested after Tremor.
Tremor has a fanbase. He's had one for over 10 years. Doesn't matter if it's because he's a ninja or not. Every mk game people ask about Tremor.
Sucks you don't like him because of the single reason that you're an asshole who despises something because other people like it.
Have you ACTUALLY seen Tremor design? Where the fuck is that a ninja design. Only the shirai ryu and the lin kuei have ninja designs. No one else has. NRS moved away from the concept. Sure they all still have the slight nod in their design but they gave each ninja their own design.
Reptile is an humanoid reptilian warrior.
Ermac is a warlock like warrior.
Rain is a royal warrior.
Tremor is a big burly brute with rock arms and chest.
The only thing that these characters share with their ninja days is that they all have some sort of mask. And even then you now have variations or costumes where they're unmasked.
That's like saying mileena, kitana, jade and tanya are ninjas too.
I don't like Quan Chi. I think he has always had an awful bland design though in mkx he finally gets a decent one. He is and will forever be, atleast to me, a 2nd rate Shang Tsung.
Shang Tsung is the original sorcerer and has by far a more interesting moveset.
Yet I don't go around bitching about Quan Chi.
Grow up.
