All the best characters are the classics like Sub-Zero, Scorpion, Kung Lao, Sonya, etc. What would be required to be a good character cause its been awhile that didn't seem generic or already done, with story and moves. Look at Deception Kobra generic bad guy, Kira copy of Kano and Sonya, Kenshi Ermac special moves with sword, Kai another Liu Kang, etc. So, I ask what would be required to make a new character awesome?
well, they instead to think more originally. id personally like to see kenshi as a blind swordsman, his uniqueness could be that he always uses a weapon, unlike the rest of the characters, but no telekinesis. this automatically makes both him and ermac feel more individual.
there's plenty of unexplored possibilities with regards to new characters. think of specific powers: earth (that could be a tremor-style sand/rock thing, or it could even use molten lava and whatever. loads of options) or plants (like a tree-being or something, lol. just loads of vines and leaf powers or whatever). you could go by specific race/species, like werewolf, skeleton, etc. how about specific weapons? there's so many ways to mix it up rather than, as you say, kano and liu kang rip-offs.
