What's new

Who wants to see all new characters?

Everyday I'm hopin' that Boon and NRS are just trolling when they talk about "tons of new characters"….
I'm not ready for a 50/50 at all, and wish they'll stop on the current 4 or maybe add more 2. But not any others. I really can't stand the idea of having just 10 classic characters.

I don't like the bug lady, but my main concern about her is that she doesn't fit in MK, she looks like a Mass Effect character, and while Ferra/Torr look really fun and interesting I don't get the feeling of them as MK chars, even Kotal Khan seems off place. It's not that I don't like them, they just make the game feel so different. The MK team had already made a bet for new characters and it went wrong back in MK4, in MKDA and in MKD. Some of those characters are good, but excepting Kenshi and Havik none of them were great, they all need a lot of work. I'm afraid that will happen again.

I think won't happen again this time .... in the past, Midway team became lazy and cheap, and so, was throwing , indeed, a lot of bizarre ideas but in a very disaster way .... this time, NRS is a superior team, both in development area as creative conception , and so, they will deliver a much better product and final result .... MKX seems quite graphically beautiful and keeps a modern updated and upgraded feeling for the next generation without, however, losing its basic roots , so, we just have to break this prejudice barrier regarding newcomers chars in the franchise ..... MK was needing and urging for a reboot , due the past bad choices the serie was taking and going down, so, with MK9, our dear franchise came back , and MKX is a huge step further against all mediocrity MK did in the dark age (in the past in 3D era) ....

Believe, the new chars are far from being out of place, they look diferent at first judgement, however, after seeing each gameplay video for many times, we can see that they are ok with the new game proposal.

To those people saying adding all new characters is a bad idea or go play another game... you do realize that people are attached to the MK name too right? Strictly speaking, from a business standpoint, NRS knows they are taking risks if they decide to only bring back only a few old characters. Since many fans have become attached to them throughout the series. But on the same token, they can still take that chance by using a name brand that has an impact on people and a good sales record.

Should there really be 24 Characters at launch i would be really happy about a 14:10 split or something along those lines 14 old Characters from previous MKs and 10 total new ones, i dont like the idea so much to have only new Characters even if the some fighting styles carry over.

At this point im even more interested to see which Characters will return and not so much to get a look at the new ones.

At overall i dont mind if a series keeps a core of Characters for all games so you got always Characters you can associate with the game.

I'm mad at people's inherent need for inpatient impulses. The game comes out next year and yet people want to know every character and everything else about mkx now. Then when the game comes out they don't care because they know everything about it and it's old news. It shows a lack of appreciation for the game

I'd honestly love a full-on robot character. Not a ninja in a robot body or a cyborg or anything like that, but a full-on mechanical killing machine. Terminator, IG-88, Iron Giant, I don't give a fuck as long as they're all machine, baby!

Let's put it this way.
I pretty much spent my entire life so far playing as Raiden and all of the other classic MK characters.

Now if MK9 didn't exist, I would be very perplexed about the characters, atmosphere and style of this game.
But MK9 exists, and it really satisfied my thirst for the best that classic MK can offer. MK9 had everything. The same characters, the same stages, the same fatalities, the same musics. It was an awesome nostalgia trip and the sum of all that I missed about the original MK trilogy.

So this is why I feel it's very refreshing to see brand new characters (especially since so far they seem to be done right), and I'm not gonna lie, I'll be disappointed if there's too many of the old characters, because.... when I want to play as Raiden or Shang Tsung or Kung Lao etc, I can just play MK9. Or any other MK game.

Of course we want to know everything, but since we can't we just discuss about it.

I've heard the story spans the whole 25 years so I wouldn't exclude possible characters because of aging. I wonder if some character versions will be related to how they age during these 25 years.

I would like to see new characters built around this system. I feel they could do wild things with character design making them with the three variants in mind.

Fuck IG-88.
That thing still haunts my dreams.

I'm totally against guest characters, but if they put in IG-88 as a hardcore zoning character, I would just splooge all over everything I hold dear.

Also, I vaguely remember it being said that a new character from the MK Legacy series 2 would be in the next MK game. It was mentioned by Tancheroen (i think) way back before the second series aired. Anyone else recall this?

Ahhh found the reference. He was talking about the planned feature film, not the web series. Damn. I was thinking some version of King Jerrod...

NO.
If you don't like MK characters, there are plenty of other fighting games you can play.

With this kind of thinking, we would have never moved on from the original 8. Some people are afraid of change/innovation. The world thrives on this though. New characters for the win!

Oh right because MK2 was ALL NEW and didn't bring any MK1 characters back.... wtf are you talking about?
With your kind of thinking we should have never used any MK character for more than one game. Every single game would be "all new" characters.
That's what the OP said. "ALL NEW" - aka zero old characters.

I don't want zero old characters. I want both new and old characters. A balanced mix of both.
