What's new

Returning Characters in MkX?

Who do you think should return from any previous game.
I would personally love to have ermac, noob saibot, goro

Maybe Motaro as a returning sub boss. Wish they would've made him a sub boss in mk9 before killing him in the reboot. Just wanna see how Motaro would work with all these new engines.

1. Baraka
2. Cyrax
3. Darrius
4. Ermac (For the first time, I loved him in 2011)
5. Frost
6. Fujin

8. Jade
9. Jax (2011 version or early versions preferably, not the Deception/Deadly Alliance/Armageddon ones)
10. Johnny Cage (2011 version or early versions)

Mileena, Kitana, Sindel, Skarlet, Rain, and especially Quan Chi. Although I'm not too worried about him not coming back. I'm pretty sure that Quan and Mileena will for sure be back in the mix.
 
why do you have 15 mains in mk9 and injustice? WTF
Cause I can't edit my banner. Its not even like that anymore lol. It's like this now
INJ Main: Zatanna, Batgirl. Secondary: Catwoman, Flash. Third: Martian Manhunter
MK9 Mains: Mileena, Skarlet, Freddy. Secondary: Kitana, Kenshi

I want everyone back.

I don't care if they're in the story.
I don't care if they're zombies.
I don't care if they're DLC

And I certainly hope don't care if Quan Chi sewed them all together into a big, conjoined triplet, ninja monster as long as it's playable. Want.

The only MK9 characters that have a chance at coming back are Quan, Shang, and Raiden. Sonya and Cage could potentially come back too but I doubt it since Cassie is already in.
 
All the minor villains will come back. None of them actually died during MK9. I guess they can kill off Kano due to the side effects of being frozen by Sub-Zero but the rest of them should be fine.

As for the heroes, it would be cool if Kenshi came back. He been around canonically for a long time and wasn't apart of MK9's story. The character has main protagonist potential. With Kenshi I would also bring back Ermac. Kenshi was the one who helped him set himself straight after Khan was defeated and taught him telekinesis. Plus, the good guys need the numbers. Cage and Sonya would definitely be back as they were the few survivors of MK9 and the story is suppose to stretch 25 years. Seeing old man Cage in Sylvester Stallone in Expendables type role would be great.
 

Circus

Part-Time Kano Hostage
Old man Johnny Cage
Mature Kitana
Quan Chi
Shang Tsung

Everyone else should stay dead.

These new concepts shit all over most of the mk9 cast. Nostalgia is nice, but come on lets be real, 12 palette swaps.... no thanks, sorry.

Not again.

They became much more than palette swaps, my friend.

Sure they all started out that way, but they evolved into their own character. All have uniques abilities and a few have great roles in the stories.

But I'm all for new characters as long as there is a balance b/w them and returning characters. 50/50 or 60/40 in favor of returning is what I'd like to see.

But since my main Sub is back... the only one I REALLY hope they put in is...




SHANG TSUNG.


Think of the potential that character could have with soul steal... steal's one of the opponent's variations... or ANYONE's variations. Crazy.

I'm actually really pleased that there are going to be so many new characters. I would love to see some Fujin and Shinnok though.

Stryker and Jade seem very unlikely now unfortunately.

I really want to see Kai, Havik, Ashrah and one of the Shokans as playable (Goro or Sheeva please :)).
