Someone here mentioned the idea of bringing back secret characters and having them pop up before a match and giving clues. I think it would be cool if they did that, but only if it was done right, and only keep them in story mode. Here are a couple examples:

1) "The Crawler"
Before the match starts, the camera rises over a wall or gate surrounding a arena and descends on the two fighters. What if we saw someone crawling the wall/gate before the fight starts? Hinting at a hidden character.

2) "The Scout"
Before a fight starts, a special cut-scene shows a secret fighter scouting out an arena, kinda skulking around, before vanishing in a puff of smoke or jumping off screen.

3) Special Story-Mode Fights
You're playing as Sub-Zero, you beat Quan-Chi, but don't do a finishing move. The story mode continues. BUT, if you DO kill Quan-Chi, then Scorpion (as a secret character) shows up and challenges Sub-Zero for taking away his chance at vengeance. I used these characters just as an example, remember.

Here's an idea. Keep them secret! wink
This does remind me of a past thread I made. One omy ideas was the following one for Rain which I think would have been great to see.
At the beginning of rounds, Rain may appear with the following messages:
I am Rain
Toasty
When you see me
You cannot defeat me
Random fall
What’s he on about? Basically, whenever you see rain fall on a stage (a rare occurrence – 10% chance), hit down + start like in the days of old and you will see Rain form out of the falling water. You must defeat him to unlock him. The match stipulation will be as follows:
Rain will inflict 30% extra damage.
Best him in this fight to unlock him. If you lose, you’ll have to wait for the rain to fall once again...

Ever since Twisted Metal 2 when you seen the button input only when falling to your death at a certian part. The cuty lights reveal the input.

I would like a random button, one at a time, to be hidden and flash only once a match, over much time playing, we figure out the 5 or 6 buttons required to enter. Then its just a matter of figuring out where.

I like really vague and HARD accomplishments

Guys , we are trying to make them make those secrets from several years and all we get is ugly vault and that kind of unnecessary shit.

We gave them ideas for years ahead and they don't do shit.I would really like to see real secrets in this MK, but I just won't expect them.

unfortunately you are right. i have seen many great ideas past and present that would kick some serious ass...but they won't consider any of it. if they do it gets twisted into something new and it changes the idea dramatically. oh well...fans can still have a voice though regardless if they want to listen or take advice from us.

I would prefer the hidden characters to be like they were in the previous games. Have several hints on where to find a certain character, do something such as only LK can be performed...

No more unlocking secret characters via input code or buying them with coins. No, no... They should be like how they were in the past.

with the freedom, funding and time allowed with WB. I wouldnt be surprised if we get some of the best stuff yet.

I wouldnt be surprised with Reptile (if hes not playable). But Boon pretty much teased/Confirmed him on twitter at midnight this morning. To a man who demanded MKSM reptile Noobde: Your wish is my command.

Im gonna lose it over this game if we dont get something.

I love the crawler idea, real neat.

I thought about possibly having a character associated with Test Your Might. To me it was a fun distraction but there really wasn't much of a payoff when you beat most of them, DA had the Koin system. But let's say you bring back Test Your might and the audience is all the characters that you unlocked as you play through the game. For instance if you put like 5 hours of time in playing a game you'll have your inital roster standing there watching with like 2 characters you managed to grab while playing. Then compare it to 20 hours when you unlock more you'll have more spectators watching you. It would be cool to see after you unlocked every character in the game in Storymode and Arcade and you manage to break the 2nd hardest thing in Test Your Might, you'll have a super secret character come out of the audience to add shock and nostalgia value like for example Goro or somebody to that degree and challenge you to the final stage of Test your might in breaking like a diamond or something. When you break that, then you'll hear the old phrase "Let Mortal Kombat BEGIN!" and you'll have the chance to unlock Goro and the secret Test Your Might stage by fighting Goro and beating him completing your roster of playable characters.
