Ghostface is dumb but not for reason you think
Real problem of this character is not the fact he is lame or not from MK
but how they made him.

So far all horror movie characters had their ability cannon to what actualy happens in freaking movies, Alien was agile with alot of claws swiping and tail attacks, Jason had hes machete and could tank all damage and revive himself, Predator had moveset base around leaving traps and using cannon on he's shoulder like actual hunter and so on...

Now look at ghostface

he can .... Turn into Kano ball (From what movie that was taken)?
Summon he's clone like Noob (I know he make's phone call to do it but seing two or even three of these guys during fatal blow at once is not how it works).
also he can crawl like Rambo?

The point I'm trying to make is he's design gameplay wise doesn't even remotly reflect how he played in movies. In Scream he was just human with knife without any unnatural powers
But they turn him into like super commando making backflips with ease and teleporting abilities, what makes me ask
did they even watched any of Scream movies lmao.

Here is my idea how they could do it better
MAKE HIM KAMEO with these moves for instance

1 - Knife toss
2 - Running forward slashing knife around (like the one that Jason had)
3 - Uppercut Knife slash (to extend air juggling)
4 - Unblockble Hit from behind (or grab from behind with knife stab)

Leave your ideas and opinion here.

Without any unnatural powers? Bro whoever puts on drip gets superhuman strength and speed at least. In Scream 5 a teenage girl was able to pick up a full grown pudgy man off his feet while holding two knives into him straight up. They also are either super fast or can teleport like Jason when not on camera.

Also who cares this deep? Its a friggen video game with magic and monsters where an actor is just really good at fighting? lol Ya'll need to relax.

Life is short and you are making yours more complicated than it has to be over a fighting game character. You and I can't change the minds of hundreds of millions of gamers by making a steam discussion post for a fighting game and we are gonna have to live with it. lol

Are you kidding me? you do realize that the ghostfaces are Kira and Kobra right? thats why there is the cannon ball, Kira does that in armageddon.

Realistically they are just a reason to give ghostface new abilities so the character can be more fun and interesting because at the base he is indeed just a dude with a knife

Stryker is also just police officer with gun and they didn't turned him into Superman.
So maybe he shouldn't be playble in this game, simple.

Yeah, Kobra does the fire flips and Kira has the cannon ball and poison mist. They basically implied, if not outright confirmed, that Ghostface teamed up with the Black Dragon when he came to the MK universe, even referring to the Assassin character as a "her" in the Kombat Kast. So it's clear that Ghostface isn't just teaming up with random people, it's clearly Kobra and Kira.

With that said it's strange they went this route, instead of being more accurate to the movies. I mean Alien got Baraka's armblades and moves in MKX, but no other guest has just straight up had other MK characters as assists in their moveset. It is somewhat accurate to the lore, considering there was more than one Ghostface killer in the movies, but gameplay-wise I could see most people not knowing the context and being confused as to why he's suddenly doing fire kicks.

Well in Armageddon they turned Stryker from a joke character into a swat commando, and in MK9 his bio said he soloed a Die Hard-style attack among other things. NRS has never been a stranger to promoting characters in their games, like how Baraka and Reptile stopped being jobbers for a few games.

I guess your point would make sense if Ghostface himself had these powers, but from what we've seen he's still normal; it's just Kobra and Kira doing all the extra things.

As goofy as it sounds I would love if ghost face could swing his knife off screen and something would fall on the other character from above like a stage prop/light/tv. I would have been those exploding corpses Shang Tsung had in mk11
