I would absolutely love hidden characters like classic MK games...however in this day in age, they would have to be unlockable or DLC. Theres no way that NRS would be able to escape the line of fire from the fans if they were to leave them as secrets. But not only would I like to see hidden characters, but I need them to bring back the real UNLOCKABLES. I miss having to work in Konquest and play the ladder to unlock characters in MK:DA. That was the most fun I had playing an MK game as a kid.

We most certainly do not know that, I would be surprised if they did introduce new characters.

But yeah, I guess that would be a cool way to unlock them. Maybe we get a new character for beating the challenge tower.

I HATE unlocking characters. Hate, hate, hate, hate it. Make frivolous things like costumes and stuff as unlockables but not characters. Thankfully I think we've gotten past that stage in fighting games...hopefully.

As for like unplayable hidden characters like Reptile was in MK1? Meh. I don't see much of a point in including a character you can't play as unless you're previewing them as a DLC character later or something.

Boon confirmed on his twitter that MKX would have never-before seen characters.

"RT @FarulSweg @noobde Will we see brand new fighters? EB: Yup!"

Actually,I would love NRS to make dead heroes as unlockables which you need to unlock through Story Mode (like Cyber Sub-Zero and Quan Chi in MK9) or Krypt (like in MKDA,MKD and MKA). But realistically speaking, I don't see more than 4 unlockable characters. I think part of dead heroes will be in the game,while the others would be DLC.

Exactly! But I'm afraid you're probably right about the whole DLC thing. I didn't really consider that part.

But c'mon, anybody can download characters, don't think that MK fans would appreciate it if NRS did keep like 2 characters a secret only to have us discover them in the game?

I wish man...MK has been lacking in the secrets department for years.

Only if they were new characters. I'm not trying to go through anything to play with my main.

Of course they would be new characters, that's the whole point of this thread, brand new hidden characters.

I did not see this thread before I created a very similar thread this morning about working to unlock playable characters like in games past. I would love to work to get more characters. It is very satisfying. My thread is more general to any character but new hidden characters would be great. Especially because in old games (MK1-3) hidden characters is how a lot of new characters were made. Pretty cool IMO

^Yes! I really wish that it could make a comeback but it looks like that it probably won't in this day and age which really sucks.

I used to like to fight Reptile, Jade, Smoke and Noob all the time just for how tricky they were to beat. It was all about the challenge (until you found reactive, AI breaking bugs).

Yeah but isn't it kind of annoying to see or fight a character you can't use? I remember questioning myself as a wee lad back in the MK1 days why can't I play as Reptile? Why is he just a hidden character?

It's just silly and pointless to me but that's just my opinion.
