guest characters are reasons why people are getting interested in games they Werent before characters sell games simple as that

[@TootenTV]

Facts honestly. I’m a HUGE fighting game fan and player. Been playing for 10 years and never really got into Tekken all that much. Clive made me buy the game and actively play it. Even before that, my first REAL fighting game was MKX and I bought it for Jason. They SELL games.

Hi Tooten, I’ve been watching your channel since 2020! I’m a big fan of guest characters! And I think you are very intelligent when it comes to that stuff!

[@TootenTV]

Hey dood! Thank you for the support and the kind words! 4 years is a long time man, for real, thank you!

[@luthergames6930]

I feel like guest characters are added for fans of the guest to come to the game, like me in MKX I got into Mortal Kombat because of Jason Voorhees

[@TootenTV]

@@luthergames6930 Absolutely. That’s the whole point lol. That and it sells ridiculously well.

@TootenTV mhm

[@bboyrafa19]

REMOVE THEM, HE SAID SO!

[@TootenTV]

No I didn’t bro, watch the first 15 seconds of the video 😂. It’s a thumbnail. I’m quoting people in the community.

[@Tigerbro6]

I bought the game because of him so yep

[@TootenTV]

Exactly!

same people complain about guests are the same about inconsistent lore deaths like heihachi or Bison. It's either just salt because people want THEIR character to make it into the next iteration of their favorite franchise or its a "waste of a character slot" because there are other characters they feel that shouldve been in instead because of haitus (like sf3rd strike characters or Roger). this is tekken's first guest character in this installment and teryy+Mai are the very FIRST non capcom guests in a street fighter title. at least these titles aren't pulling a MK where half of the DLC are essentially guests and actors; we have a healthy amount of Original/DLC ratio so far so complaining about it right now is seemingly moot but i understand the concern, people dont want their FGs to turn into COD because COD is turning into Fortnite 2.0 FPS edition

[@TootenTV]

I would agree about the part about people worrying about it because of CoD/Fortnite, but these people have been complaining about it long before that lol. Also, I completely agree with most of what you said. Tekken and SF have done guests in a healthier way than MK, somewhat at least, because I actually like the ratio in MK/IJ and think that more guests make for a more exciting experience with the different fantasy matchups. Either way, it can definitely be seen as healthier, so I think that’s even less of a reason for those specific communities to complain. It’s like, bro, it’s literally making your game more popular and exciting. You’re matching time is half of what it was because of them. You’re playing MORE of the game you enjoy because of them lol.

I love Guest Characters They are the best My Favourite are Jason Voorhees and Predator in Mortal Kombat X The Terminator Spawn and Rambo in Mortal Kombat 11 and Ghostface Homelander Peacemaker and Omni-Man in Mortal Kombat 1 also I look forward to The T-1000 and Conan The Barbarian

[@TootenTV]

They’re great additions to fighting games imo. They’re hype as hell.

[@joshualedesmasegovia]

@TootenTV Who are your Favourite Guest Characters in Fighting Games

[@TootenTV]

@ Definitely everyone in MKX and probably IJ2.

[@joshualedesmasegovia]

@TootenTV Please name them and What about The Guest Characters in Mortal Kombat 11 and Mortal Kombat 1

[@TootenTV]

Jason, Pred, Leatherface, for X, I hated 11, but Spawn was cool and in 1 most of them, outside of Conan are cool, boring to play, but cool.

[@xEmoGirlxAlexisx]

I love Guest Characrers they are the most hyped thing for me in MK Games i also have started to play MK because of Leatherface in MKX i hv buyed MK11 because of T-800 and i buyed MK1 because of Peacemaker since i like John Cena 😅 I also started to watch Peacemaker and The Boys just because the Characters are in MK1 so yeah Guests are great and a win win Situation for MK and the License Holder :D

[@TootenTV]

Agreed. I think they’re overall a healthy thing for fighting games.
