So excited for Mileena! They were smart revealing her in the trailer this time. I really hope they ditch the stupid storyline of Shang creating her last minute and her being all "Hey sis let's be friends, but if not I'll kill you". I really enjoyed the original timeline where they grew up as sisters and Mileena grew increasingly bitter and jealous of Kitana. The original comic with them 2 gave her some great depth of character. But judging by her Tarkatan-inspired outfit instead of a more regal one like Kitana's, it doesn't sound like they're going towards the deception route this time. Time will tell.
As for the Kameo characters, are people seriously complaining already? There's 80+ characters in the MK universe and we know some of them are never gonna see the light of day again as playable. So my bets on who's gonna be Kameo fighters are:
- Characters that are just never gonna return as playable: Kobra, Blaze, Drahmin, Moloch, Mokap, Hsu Hao, Dairou, etc.
- Less popular characters that appeared recently and don't have much chance of returning this time: Sheeva(even tho I love her), Kollektor, Cetrion, Frost, Jacqui(?)
- Characters that might be more popular but just have to sit this one out to make room for the main roster that was planned: Kabal, Erron, Fujin, Rain, Skarlet, etc.
If they play it smart, it's just gonna be the first 2. One thing I'm confused about is, are they gonna full-on redesign and make models of these characters? Because if so it could mean that some of them become playable down the line as DLC. Either way I'm not worried, I think it's gonna be a cool mechanic.
yep, Ed knows that Mileena stans could , once again, harass and bother him as hell, as occurred with MK11 , where at daily basis, he had to see that annoying comments on Twitter demanding Mileena to return , so, yeah, pretty smart move , also, Mileena is a very fan favorite and her confimation will help a lot to sell the game, so, is a genius marketing strategy
Regarding the Kameo mechanic, I think that NRS will "test the waters" with this one, I mean, they record and collect everything regarding data information once the game come out, like, the most playable characters, how many fatalities were done, etc, so, probably they will verify what Kameo characters are most used, and with this, maybe or release a full version of the most used Kameo character as a prize for the fans, or , in the next game, thinkinh like "Hey, in the end , people enjoyed to use this and that character as Kameo in MK 1 , so, maybe we can use this one in the next game, as full playable, since it seems popular among the fanbase ..." or something like that
Anyway, is just a theory, let's see, when they show up how this new Kameo gameplay mechanic works after all, if is something interesting or just something more or less OK, but not too exciting
