I have seen a lot of posts lately with the news we've recently got, and it made me think, so far we know (supposedly) that some returning characters will have an aged variation to span through these 25 years without looking immortal as shit.
I was thinking that just because characters like Kano have been revealed, doesn't mean they might not die early in the story, say during the first few years of the game directly after MK9. Kind of makes it even more so of a waste of a slot if it does happen, but I really feel that some characters need to die off already.
I dunno man, Sub-Zero died kinda early in the MK9 game. Is he a waste of slot to you?
Are you implying that the three combat variations will show their age?
These variations are not a huge costume change here. So I doubt it.
If anything, and I believe this is really what it means. It'll just be like they handled Shang Tsung.
Primary costume has young Shang.
Alternate costume has dirt old Shang.
If anything, it'll be something like that.
Or hell, it might not be an alternate costume thing, but a story mode only thing.
No, he wasn't a waste of a slot because there are two Sub-Zero's... Bi-Han died early on, which didn't matter in the slightest bit since again, there are two Sub-Zero's, his brother didn't die till literally almost the end of the game... getting turned into a cyborg and dying are two different things, he was still relevant.
I take it you didn't read the stuff that came from that German magazine? Supposedly Liu, Johnny and Sonya will have an older, more aged variation, and it will play differently than their younger ones. So that kind of rules out your Shang theory if it's true. Might wanna go give it a read, some pretty interesting stuff in there.
All I'm saying is that if an Earthrealm character doesn't have an aged variation or costume or anything, then it's a pretty safe bet to assume they might die early on in story mode from what we know about the game so far. (And to some, that just might be a waste of a character slot in this game) Which means these character reveals and detailed looks for each variation they've been giving us might just hold some clues to certain characters fates, that would give us something to consider. That's all. :)
