User blog comment:Kaihedgie/Why is Tremor so popular?/@comment-422853-20110926234925

While I can't speak for Special Forces (having only really played and enjoyed Subzero Mythologies out of the MK adventure games), I can argue that Tremor is a shining example of wasted potential for the most part, along with Sareena. Sure, he had no dialogue or taunts and only two moves in Special Forces, but that doesn't mean they couldn't further flesh him out. I mean in the original Mortal Kombat, most of the characters only had two specials at most, so they could evolve him as a character from there, and give him more personality like they did Stryker and Smoke in MK9.

For one, Tremor could be given new specials that involve making mini avalanches, rock slides, earthquakes, or whathaveyou. The powers of an earth-based ninja sound as unique as any of the ninjas Mortal Kombat already has. Secondly, if Tremor's affiliated with both the Lin Kuei and Black Dragon, that kinda already makes him a more unique character than most.

Point made on the other stuff though. I'll concede to those points, about the pyromaniacs and such, but you're kinda selling Tremor short as far as his potential, just as the developers have so far it seems.
