Depends on which continuity you go by, Kung is on record for "avenging" his late Great Kung Lao uncle or something.
Regardless, point stands that no one who killed Goro is around to do it again, and he doesn't die in MK9.

It's all moot now That they've said a million times they're throwing out the old play book, but the version of the mythos you're going with is back when Liu Kang was Kung Laos descendant. Once new kung Lao was invented the part about goro vengeance went completely out the window.

Mk2-3 conspicuously missing
Mk4 alive and well just pissed about losing.
Mk5 killed by Noob, mourned by Kitana
Mk6 not killed, back with Shao
Mk7 dead like everyone else

Going off of what Pterodactyl said, I wouldn't like that if they lumped all cyborgs/shokans or w/e into 1 single character. I'd rather have each character stand on their own two feet.... and I'm a guy who really liked Chameleon, but not in a game where characters have 3 different variations.

But I guess it could be a way of pleasing everyone by combining old characters to make room for all the new ones.

I'll be really disappointed if they merge Noob and Smoke into one character.

MKX is not that pleasing game. That was MK9. And even if it was, merging 3 characters into 1 is going too far. A game is a work of art, not a popularity contest. So I say if it's Goro, then let it be just Goro, with no Kintaro or Sheeva cramped in.

While that is true, Boon also said "the characters who are dead will probably stay dead" as well. Time will tell.

I think you should keep a character like that as a boss hey put him in but not rather see new nd returning characters not non playable ones that are almost impossible to beat like banes charge or doomsday over head or even Solomon pressure. I ddnt see a lot of sheeva players nd when I did they did her overhead repeatedly. It's was annoying nd I ddnt see any depth to her character.

Honestly wouldn't really want Kintaro, didn't like his look in MK9 (went too far on the whole furry tiger thing) and he always has generic monster bad guy lines like "I will eat your heart", where Goro has an actual personality and dialogue.

Keep in mind I don't really know anything storywise about Kintaro or if he is less of a monster and more of a character in any other games, but from MK9.. I'd definitely prefer Goro.

1. They are clearly, obviously even, re-designing all the returning characters in this game, so how he looked in MK9 shouldn't even be in the equation right now.

2. You know the solution to characters with little good story, few personality details or fleshed out dialogue? Putting them in a game and giving them a good story, more personality, and fleshed out dialogue.


I like Kintaro's design, I like what little story and background he has(A member of one of Shokans lower classed races, but one of the species' most powerful warriors to the point of being in Shao Kahn's group of personal enforcers) and the bits and pieces of personality(like his few line(s) in MK9 and a number of his animations that show a some showmanship and arrogance, like his win pose and one of his post-fatality animations).

I want them to build on top of this skeleton they have, because it has potential.


This is the same reason I don't discourage any characters from returning, hell i'd take Meat or Hsu Hao because I know NRS is working to improve their character on all fronts right now.

Goro could work. Injustice had some decently made grapplers/brusiers(bane, grundy, doomsday). They did have some balance issues, but I think they felt a lot better than any of the heavy characters from MK9, and it'd be nice to get that large power character feel in an actual MK game.

Remember Ed saying the "big bad" of the game was a returning character that was unexpected? Everyone assumed it was Liu Kang, but what if its Goro?

He also mentioned that there would be many different characters battling for control of Outworld during the course of the 25year timespan. So it just fits.

Goro never dies in MK9. He got curb stomped in the bell tower along with Kintaro, but lived. The only bad guys who actually die in 9 are Noob, Sindel, Shao, Shang and Motaro.

Edit: And I guess technically being chucked into a Soulnado isn't guaranteed death anyway so Noob's a maybe.

It would be too hype if they made Goro a grappler character that we can all play as. He's the character we all dreaded when we saw him in MK1 chillin with Shangy.

making him playable will take away this (dreadful character) vibe. as much as i love goro but i dont want him to be playable.

If this is true, I'm kind of torn. Now granted, I definitely want him in the game in some capacity, but part of his appeal and mystique is the fact that he's unplayable (at least in the MK games people actually care about). Making him playable might take away some of that, though can be cool because...well, you're playing as Goro.

So to sum up, I want him in the game, but not sure how I feel about him being playable.

Oh my god, a standard playable version of Goro would be so fucking dope. The grappling possibilities would be endless.

This god damn game is giving me a permaboner. Please just take my money and let me buy everything associated with it already, please.

Playable and BALANCED Goro would be awesome. Kinda salty I haven't thought of that.

I would be super impressed if they could do Motaro the right way. I know his char model gave them fits in Armageddon.
