42 Characters - place your best on last 11

[Dankster Morgan]

Kratos, Predator and Spawn are the only guest characters that were perfect for MK. The rest were god awful. Specially the horror characters. One might say Joker is a good pick too, but its a stretch. If I had to pick a guest from DC that would fit actually, I'd say Deathstroke. Probably the best candidate really, he is a masked ninja character, can actually fight and rival the MK universe and I personally missed him in Injustice 2, his replacment sucked..

Deathstroke is mu favorite DC villain but I dont think he works for MK. In terms of actually fighting and rivaling MK characters, DC characters would crush them in general

Well, magic does beat everything the best DC offers, but lets not get into the nitty gritty nerdy stuff. Point is, Deathstroke is perfect for MK. He looks like a MK character, can actually fight and is into the killing theme and all.

I will refrain from the nerdy stuff but tbh I still dont think that mostly because Superman still beats magic users he fights. I do agree that Deathstroke looks the part, maybe I feel this way just because I'm used to seeing him in Batman comics and stuff like that. He would for sure wipe the floor with any MK character that isnt a god imo

 

[Megax Rocker]

Deathstroke ftw.

Might be the best substitute for Kenshi bar Takeda.

 

[MKF30]

Mine will be
1. Fujin
2.Sheeva
3.Ash Williams
4.Michael Myers
5.Ermac(wishful thinking here)
6.Stryker
7. Havik
8.Pennywise
9.Takeda
10.Robocop
11.Riddick

Ash, which nobody asked for by the way.

I've literally seen SO many people ask for him. People love saying "Nobody" wants this character or "Nobody" asked for them. Y'all live under rocks all of a sudden?

every guest char is a waste of slot to me

Nvm. This explains it. Lmfao.

 

[BarakaTile]

I bet we'll have Ash and 2 more guests so it's an even 6 and they rearrange the character select so they're all at the bottom row.

 

[MKF30]

I'd rather see Michael Myers and Pennywise over Ash personally. I love horror but I just don't see the hype for Ash tbh. Then again I'd rather just see NRS make a horror fighting game already. I know the rights to some would be a nightmare but considering the characters they got already in their games, if anyone can do it it's them.

Just points of view. Mine is that, enough with guests. We are in 2020 with an awesome mk game that does not have a bunch of mk characters that are relevant.
Enough with barney the dino and bugs bunny as guests.

 

[NSR]

1. Michael Myers
2. Ferra/Torr
3. Drahmin
4. Batman
5. Hsu Hao
6. T1000
7. Shaggy
8. Dracula (the Gerard Butler one)
9. Robin
10. Kobra
11. Tom Cruise

Pretty good dlc character list, wouldn't you agree?

 

[supernumian]

According to the leaks we already have:

• Fujin
• Sheeva
• Ash
• Robocop (???)

4 of 11

So, I would love to see these char in MK11:

• Human Smoke
• Ermac
• Rain
• Havik
• Kenshi
• Sektor
• Quan Chi

Obviously, only MK character because fuck guests.

 

[Nickolaidas]

CONSUMABLE: ROBO-SEK MEMORY UNIT
DESCRIPTION: SUMMON SEKTOR TO AID YOU DURING THE FIGHT (3 SLOTS)

Hmmm ...

 

[Edmund]

I'm hoping that we get some new MK characters. Like Jade's Mother since she's been teased twice, or Kano's son.

 

[Lord Snotty]

Wasn't there rumours early on of Shinnok making an appearance as DLC?

 

[Trustful_Whale]

EXACTLY!!!! The Predator and Alien are the BEST movie monsters of all time FREE. Great choices. Terminator, Jason, and Freddy are great choices too. Leatherface and RoboCop are terrible choices. And fucking Hellboy was wack as shit

Fuck that, Hellboy was cool.

 

[MKF30]

Never knew anyone who actually played HB. He's ok, but AVP and the TMNT were way cooler in I2 no doubt. I liked how NRS took the classic 90's movie look for the turtles, that was a great idea and not the overly roided up, giant Bay turtles. The design for all the DLC are done well by NRS especially the guest characters.

We dont need any new characters at the moment. MK Universe has so many characters with so much potential that havent been in the roster for more than a decade. New characters in MK11 except Geras are garbage

 

[Metin]

• Infrared Jacqui Briggs
• Outworld's Kahnum Jacqui Briggs

[Living Corpse]

I'd kill to have Nitara return. Ashra deserves some love too. Or Onaga.

 

[kabelfritz]

Kobra
Darrius
Dairou
Meat
Mokap
Taven
Dagon
Blaze
Onaga
Shujinko
Hotaru

 

[Sugarwatermixlegit]

I don’t think 42 characters is a guarantee. Might be leftover or extra space. But I’m not ruling out the possibility of course. I mean we already know
Fujin
Sheeva
Ash
ROB (Either Sektor/Cyrax or Robocop)
But if we do get more
Stryker
Havik
Sareena
Onaga
Reiko
Li Mei
Human Smoke
Michael Myers
I think are all characters I could totally see being DLC at some point

 

[Xelz]

I'll be contrarian and predict that we won't get all 11. NRS thought MK11 was going to have a longer lifespan than their previous MK/Injustice titles, but that's not panning out and I doubt their forecasted sales for two more years of expansion characters looks all that rosy. On top of that, coronavirus is slowing productivity and NRS probably has a schedule they need to prioritize for their next title (I3 in all likelihood), meaning MK11 expansion characters are the first thing on the chopping block.

My guess is we'll get one more kombat pack of characters, perhaps just ones that already started active development, and then NRS will move on from MK11.

But wasn't this most recent "Aftermath" Steam leak very, very recent?

 

[Xelz]

Yes, but that’s just likely a DLC bundle, like MKXL, while the character count leak came from an older file that was datamined. I don’t doubt that NRS had 11 more characters planned, but circumstances have changed since then. Here’s everything that’s happened since they announced their long lifespan plans for MK11:

- Launch state of the game, particularly extremely frustrating ToT, resource grind, and barebones multiplayer modes that quickly drove away casuals, their biggest consumer base

- Dropped from EVO a year after launch. It’s not a deathnell for the competitive scene, but it’s also not a great sign for long-lived competitive relevance

- Coronavirus. Nearly every company in every sector is reprioritizing their projects due to lost productivity, revenue streams, or both. (Unless you’re Netflix or Zoom, in which case they’re going for balls to walls growth.)

Not that I don’t want 11 more characters - I’d love to see more - but a lot has changed since the file that was datamined was created and expectations should be tempered.

If anything, the coronavirus will ensure the 11 characters, since they'll be basically selling 6 characters for 30 bucks per year, instead of a new game with 25 characters for 60 bucks. The former ensures a lot of money for a lot less work, which is what companies hit by the corona would be open to.
