New 3D-Era Representation: Who Makes it to MK12?

[Searsy82]

I chose Havik and the stinky guy with the flies.

Hot take: All the combat kids suck and I don't want to see any of them ever again.

The Kombat Kids were def a bit over designed.

I think they should all come back, but focus on the things that work and gut some of the clunkier shit.

Cassie for the most part is fine, her moveset is pretty straight forward and she works simply because she is Johnnys Daughter and has a fun personality.

Kung Jin should ditch the chakram, and maybe the staff, and just be the Green Arrow of MK
Takeda should drop the whips and just be a flippy ninja boy with light sabers. Maybe let him have a spear for one move.
Jacqui should focus on the MMA stuff and be a grappler, but also with shotgun arms for mid range. Less sci fi tech soldier gimmick.
Maybe chuck Frost in there as the Green Ranger, but maybe more human.

Not that any of this matters, the game is probably close to down.
And if its not, then we have all kinds of other problems to worry about.

My guess is:
Li mei, Ashra, Reiko, Havik, Nitara, Fujin, Onaga and Deagon

That's a great list

 

[xRantex]

That's a great list

It's just missing Sareena imo.

 

[Nickolaidas]

That's a great list

Which sucks that won't be 100% realized.

But since we're talking of wishlists now which go beyond two characters from the 3D era, I'd go with:

Havik, Hotaru, Reiko, Li Mei, Nitara, Ashrah, Sareena.

In my opinion, those are the ones who deserve a second chance the most. The rest can follow later on.

And Daegon+Taven and Onaga.

Plus, are we not considering Quan Chi, Kenshi, Fujin, Tanya coming back cause they're in other games?

Yup. They've already appeared on the NRS era, so the others take precedence.

As for Daegon, if he has to go in, he needs to be followed with Hsu Hao and Mavado for a proper Red Dragon arc, and I don't want that if that means the characters I mentioned have to take a bench. Let them come later on and be properly introduced. Right now the more demanded 3D era folks have to make it to spark more interest and make people want more 3D era.

 

[Revy]

Well I like Mavado...and that's all I have to say about this topic.

Ha when I posted this 1 other person voted for Mavado & now I'm the only one.

Realistically, there is only so many 3D characters are worth salvaging - that is those with either a good storyline and/or design. The reason Tanya. Frost, Quan, Kenshi, Bo Rai Cho etc returned was for exactly this reason. Characters in these categoried are immediately salvageable and are certainly the ones I would be focussing on first. I think that needs to be how EB etc look at it. For me:

Good Design and Storyline

Li Mei (won MKDA and then possessed), Shujinko (protagonist of a game with good design), Ashrah (different design and cleansing storyline interesting), Havik (interesting chaos concept between good and bad)

Good Design

Nitara, Hotaru, Sareena

Good storyline

Reiko (interesting ending), Taven + Dagon (TERRIBLE Generic design, and I would like them to never return but were the pro/antagonist of a game),

Neither

Jarek (generic lackey), Kai (generic good lackey), Mavado (generic lackey), Hsu Hao (generic lacky), Drahmin (generic Lackey), Dairou (Generic Lackey), Darrius (generic Lackey), Kobra (Generic Lackey), Kira (generic Lackey), Meat (joke character).

The reason we have not had Stryker apart from MK9 / MKA was because he too fell in the latter category.

 

[Pizza]

I'd say Kai has some potential, but seems like he was replaced by Kung Jin

After seeing the trailer & analyzing it more I definitely think Hotaru & Havik have high chances to be in the game.

The entire trailer Liu Kang seems to have this air of "Peace no matter the cost. You disrupt the peace, you will be dealt with." about him. Which aligns very much so with the Orderrealm & their beliefs. Hotaru could even be Liu Kang's right hand?

And of course, with order, must come someone who will disrupt that. Bring in Chaosrealm & Havik? Maybe I'm just being too hopeful.

Really hopeful lol. But honestly the dichotomy aspect they seem to be going for definitely fits for them. Havik I'm more optimistic for being playable roster though seeing them together would be cool
