No mac and cheese. My food must be a balance diet meal.

NetherRealm really needs to clear up what engine they're using. Seeing people say UE3.5 or UE4 is getting strange. I'm pretty sure they said they're using their modified engine from MK9 and Injustice, but they DO have a new fighting engine.

But yeah, No Ermac. I really don't see him returning. Noob I could see, Reptile perhaps, Rain no, Smoke i'd want if they don't have his white hair floppin' around. Three-four ninjas.

They're using a modified Unreal Engine 3. It's been confirmed.

Which is, or could be their engine they used for MK9 and Injustice. Both were NR's modified UE3 engine. I'm just curious if it's a different one then the last two games, along with their new fighting engine. Or if it's the same one they've used before, combined with their newer fighting engine.

Why do we need a thread for EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER?

Thanks for reminding me, I'm gonna make a thread about Mokap. Mokap for MKX!

I'm heavily assuming a new updated one. Just like how Inustice was updated from MK9.
I just hope to God it feels more like MK9, and not Injustice with new tricks.

Injustice is a fantastic fighting game. While certainly not everything, there's a lot that I wouldn't mind seeing carried forward. However, judging from the creative choices NRS made going from MK to Injustice, I'm looking forward to their new ideas.

Ermac is almost a lock, I think. His gameplay makes him a very good and unique character to have. He was very good in MK9.

Probably. People get pretty hyped up about their favorite character.

Besides what else is there currently to talk about regarding MKX aside from over-speculating on a few tweets and a vague teaser trailer? Not like valuable real estate is being taken here.

Such a bummer. Cross gen is lasting far to long.

I think it would be great to see Ermac return.

If Ermac makes it in, I'm curious to see where they'll take him. I'm hoping to see a Jerrod plot line occur, maybe make this the chance to introduce him as a new character. We could see something along the lines of Jerrod trying to free Edenia himself (since Sindel, Kitana, and Jade are dead) and going up against Tanya and maybe Rain. He could also deal with the thousands of souls that are in Ermac's body and we could maybe see a struggle of King Jerrod trying to be the dominant soul perhaps? I think there's a lot of potential with Ermac/Jerrod that can be done.

Gameplay wise, Ermac definitely has a unique fighting style and move set that I would love to see enhanced/updated with this new game.

And then of course, I would like to see what Ermac would look like in terms of what his outfits would be. I definitely love the mummy look and hope it comes back. Maybe have another outfit that's a bit more sorcerer-ish/magic/tiny bit regal-ish feeling. There was a concept art in MKD that could work I think.

I keep telling people the Arcade endings aren't cannon / are all goofy and for fun... But the King Jerod thing was actually decent. A democracy/dictatorship inside Ermac (mentioned above) is a really interesting idea I never thought of.

If he does return as Jerod (but I doubt it) I would like for him to have a more royal appearance. So really they could still go the mummy direction, just make him more swaggy!
