Well Sub-Zero technically is in more games of the franchise...

The Ninjas of MK are known worldwide, and the series itself had a very important place in Nintendo history. Meanwhile, the average gamer probably can’t name a single fucking Dragon Quest character except maybe “Chrono” or “Trunks” or “That other one that looks like a Dragonball character”.

Modern MK doesn't come out in Japan
Hell, a Japanese NRS fan who's translating 11 compared the series' lack of popularity in Japan to DQ's lack of popularity in the West

The difference is that Japan doesn't deserve to be pandered to

>Hell, a Japanese NRS fan who's translating 11 compared the series' lack of popularity in Japan to DQ's lack of popularity in the West
The difference between DQ and MK is that Square refuses to localize it due to neglect or to outright sabotage the series in the west, MK isn't localized to Japan because of Japanese rating system, the censorship law over there is like if the soccer moms and evangelicals won during the Columbine debacle

>the series itself had a very important place in Nintendo history.
Yeah. As a reason to buy a fucking Genesis lol.
If your most important contribution to Nintendo's history is a minor bump for the company, you aren't actually all that important. Might as well pretend Doom is a major franchise for Nintendo consoles too.

The blood was back in MK2

Mortal Kombat is literally not sold in Japan.

>>Nobody in Japan gives a shit about him or Mortal Kombat
I mean yes, that is quite literally the case. Mortal Kombat isn't sold whatsoever in Japan.
It isn't like Dragon Quest over here, where despite frequently being pushed, it's never really been a huge seller. Mortal Kombat is literally non-existent in Japan. Mortal Kombat's Japanese scene makes America's Dragon Quest scene look like 1998 Pokemania

>Scorpion supporters are fake, MK fans would want Sub-Zero or Liu Kang instead
Completely moot point. Boon loves Scorpion more than anything else, if he can get Scorpion into any other game, he'd do that before fucking Liu Kang of all characters. Hell 11 is evidence that they don't really care about what characters fans want back.

This is a lie. Go to any backdoor store and they'll have MK. Last time I went to Japan, there was an MKX set-up in an arcade using consoles in the corner.

>This is a lie. Go to any backdoor store and they'll have MK
Nigga, MK is literally banned in Japan
Even MK westaboos on twitter have lamented they couldn't buy the game on Japanese Steam
A friend of GO1 literally had to import MK11 for him to play
He also asked his followers on twitter on how to get the game because again, its banned

Pretty sure that line was poking fun at the whole "Dragon Quest fans don't care about Erdrick" argument being thrown around

Would Sakurai add some kind of gore to the game to preserve the spirit of the character?

They removed the blood in Joker's shit and replaced them with sparkles
Pretty sure Nintendo isn't gonna want Mario to be covered in blood

They can have white blood as a nod to the Leiberman debacle.

that'd be gayer than no blood

Doom 64? They made a pretty big deal about 2016 and Eternal coming to switch.

The difference is that Erdrich is still just a giant assumption that the code name Brave isn’t a throw off name like Jack was, which it most likely will be but leakers are getting their dicks sucked by gullible people

>Scorpion supporters are fake, MK fans would want Sub-Zero...
Debatable.
>...or Liu Kang instead
Bullshit. It's like this:
>Liu Kang : Sub-Zero and Scorpion :: Guile : Ryu and Ken.
3rd place overall in popularity but it's a distant third. Just like the shotoclones, the ninja recolors are the mascots for a reason.

Now I kind of want SubZero just because he’d be great in 2v2’s.

>Scorpion punches into Mario's chest
>Sparkles spew out of his midsection
>He pulls out Mario's heart and it looks like a life pickup from LoZ

Scorpion's signature kill move is just fire breath, it'd probably end up being a slightly more graphic version of Mario's Final Smash that instakills one player.

Is there someone that actually wants Scorpion in Smash?
That sounds awful.

there's at least one person who wants any character in Smash

If we do get a MK character I'd want Sub-Zero. But I'd rather like...almost everyone else before anyone in MK

I can't believe mario is dead

Pretty sure Chun-Li is more popular than Guile

Who the fuck talks like that?

Have you been to Smash threads?

>Nobody in the West gives a shit about him or Dragon Quest
>Barely anyone in Japan wants him anyways
>Erdrick supporters are fake, DQ fans would want Slime or Madason instead

Would he add Dan Forden's Toasty sound effect in the MK stage?

Chad Scorpion
Virgin Sub-Zero

Face it, Scorpion is the mascot of Mortal Kombat
He's in

Nintendo would never associate their brand with mortal kombat. They would sooner put in one of the titty ninjas.

The people saying no one cares about dragon quest in the West are stupid. 11 is getting a huge focus with a lot of marketing with the switch release. It's gonna sell good numbers in the West and those people will care.

>The people saying no one cares about dragon quest in the West are stupid
Even SE knows the West barely gives two fucks about Dragon Quest
They tried doing that years ago as well to the point of having a fucking Seth Green commercial

Subby is cooler
