What's new

consolidating characters

If think if something like this is in the game it will take Cassie Cages path where all variations are the same Character but have moves from others Characters in there kit. So lets say Mileena is in the game i rather see here having one variations which resembles Kitanna having fans and all that stuff than beeing actual a new Character for that single variation in that case Kitana. And i could see something similiar happen with Sareena should she make it into the game. Maybe even a Hat variation for Liu Kang should he be in the game but not Kung Lao.

Also i think it would be kinda counter the logic behind having different variations of a single Character if some of the Characters have a other Character as there variation.

It works for Ferra/Torr because they got introduced as a single Character. imo

I'd only like this for characters such as Noob-Smoke, the Kia, Jataaka and Sareena and Cyborgs combined into one, then the cyborg would be more stealthful than the night, more deadly than the dawn.

He didn't say the whole cast.

Anyway.

It would basically be one character with three variations, but the variations have different skins and stories, and are presented as different characters despite playing the same with a few different special moves.

Not really hard to get.

Instead of having a ninja with fire and water variations, have it be two ninjas who have the same base moves, but when you select fire you get one of the ninjas mostly by themselves, and if you select water you get the other ninja mostly by themselves. The third variation would have them working together in some way.

It's not actually two character against one, it's just cosmetically that.

This is very simple.
Oh ok I guess so, It was like a WTF to me heheh...

I don't necessarily want any of this to happen. I think it could work out pretty well and it's a justified sacrifice if it means getting more fan favorites in the game. Believe me, Smoke is one of my favorite characters and truthfully, NRS might not have him under the control of Noob just for the sake of history not repeating itself. But I've thought it through and these are the reasons that while I'd prefer Smoke as an individual, I'd be able to live with Noob and Smoke sharing a slot.

1. It's already happened in MKD. They have a history.

2. Noob's black hole has similar properties to Smoke's smoke bomb.

3. Smoke can turn invisible like Noob used to be able to.

4. I'd like to see the Noob Smoke story play out with a different outcome. I want Smoke to have his moment where he emerges bad ass and victorious.

It wouldn't have to be shitty like the MKD Noob Smoke. The variations could be like

Wraith: Play as Noob Saibot and manipulate the shadows to dispatch your foe from a safe distance. (Gain ability shadow toss, shadow slide and shadow up knee).

Enenra: Play as Smoke, utilizing stealth and speed to close in on your opponent or counter their attacks (gain ability smoke bomb, smoke teleport and shake).

Fog specter: Control both Noob and Smoke to keep your opponent guessing as you take advantage of the arena (frame advantage on teleport moves, while Noob build meter faster, while Smoke reduce meter consumption).

It would be cool to see Noob-Smoke then we can have white ninja (Khrome) as separate ninja.
 
I am not here for consolidated characters. This is a wack idea.

If there's no room for your fav, then there's just no room for your fav.

Put down the nostalgia.

Just thought of an idea, what if Khrome was both a male and female it can change it's gender as it pleases or for variations?

As I desperately want Shang tsung to be in MKX, when it comes to teams I want Syndel and Shang to be one. Just think about it, they were supposedly killed by Nightwolf while Shang's juice was inside Syndel. Nightwolf's ritual could have mixed their souls together!
juicepouch confirmed for MKX!

If they don't do that, they'd be a little dumb.
They really could just make a character just a trio that the player can choose between, with them sharing base attacks but different special moves and costumes.
So basically, like the old palette swaps during the early-mid 90s games? :p

In all seriousness, I think this idea could work quite well for certain characters. Noob-Smoke has already been mentioned, and Kitana/Mileena/Jade could, in theory, work decently as well (they all have similar-ish martial arts training, so simply swap out special moves). Liu Kang being revived and having some of Kung Lao's old moves would be cool as well.

Fatality 1: Cartwheel Kick to Uppercut, then headshots airborne opponent with Hat Toss
Fatality 2: Sets his hat into ground, turns intro dragon and swings enemy around like in MK4, then spits enemy out right onto the hat which cuts him in half

Plus on block.

That would be quite cool, in memory of his friend, he carries his hat.

Would make sense.

I'd be down for Liu with Kung's hat, but i'm still hoping for Zombie Liu Kang.
