Freddy Krueger – A Nightmare On Elm Street
For the most part, I’m embarrassingly bad at fighting games. The only game I’ve ever shown even a modicum of skill at was SoulCalibur 3, but even then, calling me “good” would’ve been generous. My uncoordinated fumbling carried over to Mortal Kombat 9, until Freddy joined the game.
From that point onward, I was able to kick heaps of ass. Even the most skilled players (i.e. two of my friends) learned to fear my finger-knives jiu-jitsu, which, I’ll admit, was really just me spamming every button on the controller until the character who wasn’t under my control was no longer able to endure my wild bludgeoning.
If they’d like to make it up to horror movie geeks like myself, all they need to do is bring Papa Krueger back, and this time make sure it’s the Robert Englund Freddy we all know and love. I’d also accept their making this a reality.
