DO NOT REMOVE MK9 CHARACTERS FROM MK10 IN VS. MODE!!!

Would you want all the MK9 characters to be playable and maybe updated in MK10's VS. MODE?

I don't think I seen anyone mention this before. And I know I mentioned this a few times in stream chats, especially when I seen NRS reps chattin wit us:

DO NOT REMOVE MK9 CHARACTERS FROM MK10...IN VS. MODE!!!

For once I'd really like to see NRS truly go up and beyond for the casual/competitive players and actually "get it right". You wanna talk fan service? Then make the character select screen as healthy as possible in MK10.

Not trying to take away from the MK10 story or any returning characters from MK9 to MK10 that may be updated. Because obviously you'd want to move forward.

But I definitely don't see a reason to NOT port over the remaining MK9 characters and make them playable in VERSUS MODE (or any mode that's NOT story mode)!

Keep in mind, I'm assuming that MK10 WILL IN FACT BE BUILT OFF THE MK9 ENGINE. Cause if not, or built off Injustice, then fuck that game LOL. :p

I'd like MK10 to be a reason, I'D WANT TO STOP PLAYING MK9.

I'm just saying...

Discuss.

P.S: I'd be open, if they released MK9 characters for MK10's VS. MODE as DLC.

P.S.S: PLEASE VOTE! K. THX. BI!

I'm calling it right now:

If NRS did this and also fixed Sub-Zero's standing 2 so that it hit mid, I will own each. and. every. single. one. of. you.

.......unless my opponent is a pretty girl wearing a low-cut shirt. If that happens, I'm screwed.

It is no where near as simple as porting a MK9 character into MK10.

They would all have to be redone, models, animations, everything. As well as rebalancing the characters to fit with the new system mechanics of MK10.

That is too much work along with creating 10-20 new characters from scratch.

Even if this wasn't the case, NRS has gone on record multiple times saying they prefer their games to have around 30 characters.

Pfft. What you're gonna do ? Hide like a pussy behind your clone and spam ice balls and do random slides ?

It would make absolutely no sense for dead characters to be playable. Unless they're brought back to life via magic/zombification.

Which....why kill a character just to bring them back with deus ex machina? Makes absolutely no sense from a story telling stand point.

Besides...why do you want the exact same roster over and over and over and over again. If the sequel did this, one of two things would happen:

We would have the exact same roster.

Or, we would have the same roster plus a few extra characters.

The latter may seem ideal, BUT...the more characters you pack into a game, the harder it becomes to balance and the more difficult it is to make each character unique in terms of playstyle.

Keep the dead folk dead and give us something new to play.

I agree with most of what you're saying actually. But a man can surely dream. And HOPE that NRS actually decides to go up and beyond expectations...for once.

Imma say this shit right now. YOU ARE GOING TO STOP THIS INSTIGATING OF PAST GARBAGE/DRAMA! I am not here for that, and the next time you bring it up, I will make sure YOU GET BANNED!

I don't give a shit how you or anyone else feels of anything that happened in the past. But you better leave that shit there. And move on...
Man, a guy speaks his mind without breaking any real board policies and is threatened with angry, bolded red text and a ban. Classy stuff.

Again, I mentioned I'd be solely for VS. MODE. Not effecting the story whatsoever.

It's for catering to fanbase so all your favorite characters are playable in one game. Some folks hate playing older games just to play certain characters they loved.

Catering to competitive players, would be bringing all those said characters back to MK10 and updating them. That's truly be going up and beyond expectations. And a loveletter to those players LOYALTY to MK9 over the years.

I any time you add new characters to a roster, it changes dramatically IMO.

Balancing WOULD BE AN ISSUE (but manageable. and OF COURSE they'd have to retweak characters to cater to the new system mechanics), but LMFAO it's NRS...it's NOT LIKE THEY EVER GOT IT RIGHT BEFORE. :p

Webster, there is no way Sheeva is coming back. You and the other 5 people who played Sheeva are going to have to hold that.
Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

*covers mouth, drags into portal*

Dizzy you are too smart man LMFAO. You are one of my favorite MK9 players for a reason. :cool:

There were 5 Sheeva players?

To answer the question: No. It's been said 2-3 times already why bringing back all those characters from MK9 and adding additional characters for MK10 would be a bad idea.

Play Monster Hunter!
Scorpion
Ermac
Rain
Kenshi
Skarlet
Mileena
Reptile
Kano(maybe, but I hope not)
Noob Saibot(possibly as Sub-zero)
Sonya
Cage
Cyrax
Quan Chi
Raiden
Freddy

Those are the characters I see returning, everyone else is either dead or not popular.

Maybe Goro finally playable, with an actual moveset and not just phoned in.

It's been 1+ years since I've been saying this on this site and nothing has changed: If Sheeva is not in Mortal Kombat 10, I am not buying the game.

To each his own, but this is MY own. And I stand by it.
I LIKE THIS GUY!!!

Even without plot concerns, characters don't just get ported. They still have to be adjusted, looked at and BALANCED (lest they suffer the wrath of this entire community) for any and all new engine facets, and NRS loves new engine facets. That's why capcom's latest copy paste update job is taking over a year even though they're literally creating no new assets.

It's like nobody even remembers MvC2.
