I want Frost, in MKDA she was the shit, and I want cyber smoke with a *yoink* fatality....

This is how it should be:

Rain
Shinnok
Cyber-Smoke
Kenshi
Skarlett

That's good 'nuff for now. Then maybe sometime in the future

Tanya
Fujin
Sareena
Reiko
Belokk

Chameleon
Liu Kang's Dragon Fatality
Sub- Zero's Freeze/Uppercut Fatality
Khameleon
Human Cyrax/Sektor

sareena
havik
rain

Okay I need to know if DLC is available for R3 Mortal Kombat, since the demo was not in asia. Can't find any info on this ANYWHERE...

RAIN.
Tanya
Fujin
Reiko
Sareena

Stages:
The Portal (preferably a mashup of MKII/UMK3 version w/ a stage fatality)
Kombat Tomb
The Pit 3
The Waterfront

honestly, i would like to see rain get in as DLC, but other than that, i would like to just see more stages, fatalities, and maybe an extra online mode or two (MAYBE). I honestly think that most characters post umk3 are throw away characters and add nothing to MK whatsoever. Maybe quan chi is alright, but even that is a stretch. So just adding tweaks to the already existing roster, like new fatalities and costumes, and adding new stages would satisfy me

yeah more stages would be awsome,the more the better,the more variety

I want old Li Mei back!

Characters:
Cyber Smoke (different moveset and finishers from human Smoke)
Daegon (he was awake at this time and probably had an interest in the tournament)
Hornbuckle (they did Skarlett - why not him?)
Khameleon (some borrowed moves from the female fighters, but has her own unique moves as well)
Rain (so his fans will shut up; I personally don't care)
Reiko (something more similar to his MKA appearance)
Tanya (the more female fighters; the better)

Stages: The Portal, The Waterfront

Alternate Costumes: Sub-Zero MKDA outfit

Seriously, people: Pay attention.

*ahem*

Nimbus. Terrafaux.

That is all.

When it comes to DLC if I were to ask for characters like everyone else I would want Rain,Blaze,Hornbuckle & Meat....maybe Nimbus,Vorpax and Chameleon later on.

I really want more special moves & fatalities or other alities for DLC the most.

DLC add ons for Test Your Luck & Kombat Kodes would be nice. Some examples would be weather effects like random lightning strikes,acid rain,snow with ice on the ground...aggressor mode...one button fatalities...mercy activation...holiday stuff like pumpkin head kombat or xmas list mode were a list of obstacles are made and you have to get checks on them twice and whoever is the naughtiest wins lol...also classic stuff like dark kombat and big head mode would be nostalgic....that is if we do not already have any of this because we have only seen a little bit of this mode.

New arenas would be nice along with some other fan favorites that did not make it in the game like The Pit 3 & The Portal. Would not mind some new ones inspired by MK: SM.

In addition to Lady in Red and Kenshi, I would like:

Frost (she's in the backround in the pit, so she could easily be there)
Rain ( I don't particularly like him, but I want all of the " ninjas")
Khameleon (same reason as above, but for females")
Bo Rai Cho...vomit slip FTW!
Cyborg Smoke

I would also like to see additional costumes as DLC:

All of the "exclusive" classic costumes
a "classic costume" for Smoke
a "classic costume" for Noob
An "edenian style" outfit for Lady in Red (variation of Jade or Kitanas new outfit)
Any absurdly slutty costume for the girls
"Shredder" oufit for Sub-Zero

These'll never happen, but I'd like to see ninja outfits (like Frost's) for Kitana, Jade, and Mileena.

Also, MORE FATALITIES!!!!

I got Sub-Zero's klassic costume from the best buy preorder,
but do you think the rest will be available later on as a DLC?

When is Rain gonna show up! They better put him up in the secret when the game shows up.

I've been a lurker on here for a long time and finally decided to register.

I'd like to see as DLC:

-Characters:
RAIN!
Shinnok (would be nice to see what they can do with him)

-Costumes:
MK3/MKDA Sub-Zero (with scar)
Robo-Smoke

-Fatalities:
A laser-eye fatality for Kano
Kiss Of Death for Sonya
Soul Steal for Shang Tsung
Raiden's MKDA fatality

-Stages:
All the missing ones from the MK1-MKT era.

After listening to Ed speak during Gamespot's Now Playing special, and reading the article featured in this thread, I was encouraged to reopen the DLC character poll.

At the time, I was concerned that my effort to organize the community's votes was too late. By having the poll close at a specific date, I was hoping that more users in the community would participate before the deadline. Now we can be certain that the development team has not made any concrete plans for unannounced DLC, and that your suggestions will have a significant amount of weight for future plans.

Update (April16, 2011):



Total Votes: 804
Number of Voters: 177

1st: Rain (68.6%)
2nd: Sareena (34.2%)
3rd: Fujin (33.9%)
3rd: Tanya (33.9%)
4th: Shinnok (26.6%)

In the plot I've highlighted the columns for confirmed DLC characters, Kenshi and Skarlet. Unless there are new voters that are unaware of these planned DLC characters, the number of votes for these characters will basically remain constant. Since these characters are confirmed, I'm not including them in the top five ranking.

With Skarlet, I figure one of the reasons most people didn't vote for her was the assumption that she would be a secret character that could be unlocked. However, if we treat all of the votes for Skarlet, Tremor, Hornbuckle, etc. as votes for a character inside the MK universe that are rumors, glitches, scraped ideas, etc. this new column would definitely be within the top 10. Currently, the "new character" column is reserved for those characters inside and outside of the MK universe that have never materialized in an MK title.

So continue to vote if you want. I'll eventually update the chart again if there are a significant number of contributions.

To start some discussion, what is your opinion about purchasing DLC? What content would you purchase, and what would you ignore?

From what I understand, DLC is an experiment for NRS. If the team is unsure of how we'll react to DLC, I can provide some feeback by saying with confidence that I'm planning on purchasing Kenshi and Skarlet when they become available. If the development team continues to pump out DLC throughout the lifetime of the game, I'll be a committed consumer.

EDIT: Just realized there's another thread asking the same question. Meh, that discussion should be taking place in this sticky anyway.

Havik
Frost
Hotaru
Rain
Tanya
Kira

Id really like to see animalities

1. Frost
2. Sareena
3. Li Mei
4. Ashrah

I already voted for characters, but it occurs to me as worthwhile to throw in votes for stages, alt costumes, and finishers too now that we have a pretty certain idea of what's in the game and what's not, so here's my top fives.

Stages:

1) MK2 Portal
2) Kombat Tomb
3) Shang's Boat (Nethership Deck from MKDA)
4) Wu Shi Academy
5) Lin Kuei HQ (New)

Alt Costumes:

1) Sub-Zero unmasked with eye scar
2) MK4 Quan Chi
3) Kitana in a one-piece
4) Old Shang's MK1 robe
5) Kahn's classic samurai gear, seen in the story mode opening. (should he ever become playable)

Fatalities:

1) Shang Soul Steal
2) Kitana Kiss of Death
3) Sonya Kiss of Death
4) Kano Eye Laser
5) Something for Quan Chi that uses actual magic, like summoning a skeleton to attack the opponent.

I want to see characters from the timeline of MKM - MK4 first, I mean timeline not the games, what what if Raiden stops Shujinko's quest? Etc...

Sareena
Kia
Jataaka
(Note: Quan Chi needs his assisins just like Khan has Jade, Mileena and Kitana, but since they are demons they should be more brutal IMO)
Fujin - Another God is needed
Rain - A Must
Motaro - A Must
Khameleon - She deserves more uniqueness and a more depth on her awsome but unfair sotryline)
Reiko - Khan's General
Tanya - Telling the events of how they got her prior to MK4
Kai - Same as Tanya
Nitara (perhaps before her realm was mergered with Outworld???)
Shujinko - Middle age Shujinko or young Shujinko
Havik - He is in Noob's ending, should that be a hint??
Jarek (make him more original)

bring back TANYA!

1st choice: Tanya

my fav mk character, loved the deception, "egyption" look, Liked having a back stabbing crafty evil gal rather than just another pscho like Mileena
MUST HAVE boomarang though. It really should have been her trademark into decpetion but...oh well


2nd choice: Rain

the first person I beat Shao Kahn with, i love the water baced moves, dunno why he gets all the hate


3rd choice: Nitara

Because no game is complete without a vampire, and i like the idea of exploring the back story of her realm more.


4th Choice: Motor

Sheeva needs a rival and centaurs are awesome

5th Choice: Frost

Her look was amazing and her story had potential.


I'd also love to see some new age animalities but hey....can only dream

Hope I'm not too late this time around!

Well, I do believe in the importance of feedback, so here's my humble opinion. Regarding the type of DLC, I would go for characters above anything else. That is what really draws me in. Right after characters, the thing that would appeal to me the most would be new arenas, followed by new fatalities, new X-Ray moves and new single-player modes (especially new Story Mode chapters or new challenges for the Challenge Tower).
I wouldn't buy online-play modes, artwork concept, videos, avatars or any kind of "collectables".

My vote for future DLC characters (excluding Kenshi, which has already been confirmed) would be:

1- Rain
2- Bo Rai Cho
3- Fujin
4- Frost
5- Li Mei / Havik

EDIT: After finally having played the game and finishing the Story Mode, i changed my initial list and removed Shinnok, considering it would be best to leave him for the next game.

My vote for new arenas would be:

1- Kombat Tomb (with MK2 stage fatality)
2- Lin Kuei Temple (from MK:DA or with a complete new look)
3- Nethership Interior
4- Wu Shi Academy
5- Special Forces Base.

My vote for new fatalities:

- Anything that doesn't involve more decapitation or dismemberment. Some smashing, crushing, squeezing, burning, exploding and melting would be nice. Classic fatalities from the old games would be appreciated, Scorpion's fatality as seen in one of the earlier cinematic trailers (the one where he rips out Sub-Zero's heart, then decapitates him and stuffs his head in the hole on his chest) would be awesome. X-Ray fatalities would also look cool. More stage fatalities would be better, but probably harder to do for arenas that are already in the game. Friendships would be nice as well, despite being so unpopular.

Others:

- Code to unlock and play as bosses (if not already in the game);
- New Story Mode chapters, focusing on characters that weren't used in the game's Story Mode, mainly the villains;
- New challenges for the Challenge Tower;
- Something like a "Theater mode", with the ability to play (and pause) all the game's cutscenes after finishing the Story Mode;
- New costumes;
- New mini-games ("Test Your Knowledge" quiz, for example?).

Well, there goes my lengthy opinion. I will be more than glad if even half of my suggestions are approved. The way I see it, anything NRS give us from now on through DLC will be like icing on the cake.

I am curious if DLC characters will have alternate costumes and alternate fatalities.

Currently, characters get those things from the Krypt (but can alternatively unlock the costume by beating ladder mode and the fatality just by inputing the command if they know it).

I see three possibilities:

A) They don't get them at all (or get them added later in a separate DLC package).

B) Extra chests appear in the Krypt to contain these things (along with their concept art). I could see this happening since the code has space for 500 chests but only 339 are filled in at the moment, but on the flipside it would also be very easy to figure out where the stuff is since you just have to open the highest numbered ones in the various areas.

C) They have them, but they're not in the Krypt. You have to figure out the alternate fatality to use it, and you have to beat ladder mode to get the costume (like Kratos).
