My answer is "Every single character in MK lore can't be playable." lol

-I had to wait how long before Mileena was added to MK11?
-Ermac was not only not playable MK11, they were dead in the krypt & locked behind Towers of Time assists
-Sindel was a cameo in MKX...ONE YOU FOUGHT, BUT COULDN'T PLAY
-Shang Tsung sat out MKX

Like, I get it, it sucks. But it's also expected when there's limited spots on a roster. I'd much rather have fan favorites and a handful of 3D era characters, some new faces to keep things fresh. Than them put in characters that nobody's really interested in lol.

At least as Kameos, some of these less relevant characters are getting acknowledged. Like, as much as I'd like to see characters like Chameleon, Kai, Nitara, Darrius, & Ashrah on the main roster, if they do end up being Kameos, I won't be complaining too hard. Especially Darrius. I am quite literally the only person who gives af about that character lol. So him even being acknowledged and making it as a Kameo would be a treat.

I mean yea, as long as "less relevant" characters are Kameos then I'm sure almost no one will have an issue but what is really the point of the whole Kameo thing then? Is it really special enough to make it the "main feature"?

OK, I actually agree with your answer.

I'm speaking from the position of underdogs lover (Rain, Sektor, Fujin, Reiko, Frost) and the thought that I COULD have them all fully-fleshed playable and instead I will press one button and then BANG! Rain pops up, throwing the bubble and walking away, kinda freaks me out.

But let's park this discussion until we see HOW exactly these Kameos works.

Ok, but I have another question now on other topic.

Will we see any BRAND NEW FACES?
Not like Female Nightwolf or FireGod Liu (who is technically new).

But a brand new guys like Kollector, Geras & unfamous Cetrion.

What are your thoughts?

I'd be shocked if they don't do at least two new characters, maybe three at the most.

NO STUPID BOAT/NUN HAT FOR SUB ZERO. WE MOVE!!!!!!

Idk why but the whole ass trailer is giving me Konquest Mode vibes and I really hope that's a thing lmao

Everyone looks amazing and I'm very interested to see where the story is going. Not sure how I feel about human raiden tho. Maybe Liu will give him powers to be an enforcer or something idk.

Then will you be happy if those 4 are NOT be in a main roster of your highly anticipated game, but instead they will be transformed into half-developed creeps that you can pick for "assists" and have only 1-2 special moves each? And after hat you will find out that in the roster are bunch of fighters that you absolutely hate?

If your answer is "YES, Because in such way they are in the game", you are probably a fan of Triborg and Mileena's/Jade's moveset in Kitana's arsenal.

If your answer is "NO, fuck that". You are true MK loyalist.

Pick your side.

Triborg was awesome.

That is all.

Someone please explain how the assists work? Is it like mk9 tag team and mk11 assists?

Also, love the costumes for mileena and kitana. Hype trailer!

I mean, all we know is from the FAQ website.

Personally, I think it means you select your main fighter and then 1 or 2 kameo fighters for the match. And you can use those Kameo fighters' assist moves during the match as say special moves or launchers etc

Which is a couple things for me:

  1. Sounds like no variations which is a plus
  2. Lots of characters that I like/want could be sidelined as Kameo characters only which is a bummer.
Guess we'll see!!

I feel like it's more in-depth than we may think. Of course this is all just hype / concern / speculation.

But if this is the replacement for variations I'd hope there's some fun and unique gameplay changes regarding them. I wouldn't want them to simply be the assists that were in MK11's Towers of Time.

Having Kitana jump into the fightline just to toss a fan & jump out would feel so corny, so I hope they're more ingrained into the actual gameplay. Unique grab animations with kameos, kameo brutalities, kameo fatalities...maybe even unique intro & outro animations with kameos equipped.

Imagine how dope it would be to have the intro at the start having Mileena & Kitana side by side as sisters, facing off against their opponents. That would be so sick to me.

I am also a little concerned about Kameo's

If you choose Kitana and have the choice of a set of Kameo characters, it automatically becomes a version of variations. My concern will be that it will be a case of "you must play Kitana with x character" to be viable. If this is the case, I would rather just purely play the character without extra gimmicks.

Hopefully it is a fun game mode like tag was in MK 9.

Sort of, but choosing a special for an assist is better than stupid variations with limited slots. I feel like we're going to get complete character archetypes, with choices in assists. Which imo, sounds great.

Technical question from the FAQ, by "internet wont be required to play mk1" does that mean mk1 will be DRM free?
Click to expand...
No, it won't require constant internet connection for some single player and local multiplier modes. Basically like how MK11 does it.

My optimism is hoping for this too. Complete playable characters where you flavour your playstyle with assists.

Please don't turn this game into MvC lol

If Cassie is a kameo, she will be the only kameo I use. Even if she just runs out, flips you off and leaves, I will take what i can get :(

I'm gonna miss her :(

But would be hilarious to see her backfliping out of the screen flipping off the opponent lmfao

Its obvious they were testing this in MK11 because they had those tag assists in towers mode. Where you picked your assist and then they each had 4 attacks they could be called. I'd imagine this is going to be the same thing.
