Wrong forum. This should be in Fututre MK Games hopefully a mod will move it

That'd be kool. The whole point of the retell was to start new. I wonder if some of the characters like kenshi and reiko would come up different since the invasion was different and all.

What about a new weather manipulator? Someone who can control water besides Rain. Maybe the return of a water god?

Oh!
- a plant manipulator
- size control from special forces (like ant-man)
- Khameleon controlling poison

In no way are Dairou and Hotaru cool, and Rain does not need to be replaced. Also, Onaga could be left out and I'd be completely cool with it.

Other than that I agree.

-A human dragon hyprid (not shokan) like actually looks like a dragon. Or a mini or baby dragon that fits on screen.

- The return of knitaro, as he was intended. Dont retcon kintaro but I would like to see a tigerman in the next game, the only real kind of lycathropy that would fit mk (i love werewolvs but they likely wouldnt fit mk)

-Black dragon Tremor. Dosent need to be a ninja, just the idea of tremow. Id like a very petit female tremor who looks very weak but has crazy earth powers.

-give us more onis (or omi or wutever) DEMONS they can be whatever you want, because satan or wutever ruler of an afterlife cant sue you. we keep hearing about female demons who have to keep it together, f that i want a gross and evil female demon.

Vampries - Theyv been introduced into the series and I dont think we should write them off. but make it MK i liked how knitara was not like Morigan (from darkstalker)

Dude we need a UFC doushbag (not callin them all douches but alot of them are) like johhny cage but U DONT LIKE HIM. just a flat out dick.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When you make a fighting game alota obvious chocies come to mind. u pick different fighters from around the world. BUT MK HAS 4 (main ones)


i think they should elaborate on the culture of outworld edenia and neatherealm. We should see fighters emerge from this.

- a pesant from edenia or a slave to whats thought to be paradise
- A spiritual and peacfull MONK TARAKATAN. (like he wants to be good but the monnks think hes a demon)
- I want some edgy shit comming from netherrealm, A drug addict or sommthin )needles stickin out of him. A soul dealer, (think the crossroads) whears a suit and all that jazz but is from hell.

juss some ideas lol

I guess this is the "Who I wouldn't mind in the next MK." thread really. First of all.

MK3/UMK3/Trilogy
Rain
Chameleon
Khameleon
Motaro

MK4/Mythologies/Special Forces
Kai
Tanya
Fujin
Sareena
Tremor - Just do it already
Tasia - Could be fun (both Tremor and Tasia would fill the role of Jarek)
Kia / Jatakka tag team endurance (Because I dont think they could produce interesting enough moves on their own)
Shinnok (As long as he is an awesome boss)

Deadly Alliance
Bo Rai Cho
Frost
Kenshi
Mavado
Nitara
Moloch

Deception
Ashrah
Hotaru
Kira
Havik
Onaga

So most of the cast then.

But I suspect there wont be that many new or returning characters in the possible mk10

The ones most likely to get in are Shinnok's mob.

I really wouldn't mind seeing:
Female Tarkatan - Possible Baraka rival - wants to lead the Tarkata to domination.
Some more Chaosrealm guys and gals

- Kai - he needs to return with new powers.
- Tremor - maybe not a ninja, but... maybe a bandit... or a tibetan monk.
- Time Manipulator
- New Seidans to replace Hotaru, Dairou & Darrius and new Chaosrealm Warriors.
- A witch
- A new light warrior.

Any story ideas for some new characters once the first game shows up after?

That's it. If Rain's not comin' back in this game, then next game. Or a purple ninja replacement.

To be honest, I'd like to see most of the old characters have their stories end, and come up with a great new cast appropriate to the universe. Of course, that isn't going to happen because of fanboys and fangirls, meaning it wouldn't be economically profitable, but it's what I'd LIKE to see.

As much as I have my favorites, stories are far better when characters can die and end forever. To me, Mortal Kombat being Mortal Kombat is dependent on the mood and theme of the game, not specific characters. Having characters exist endlessly reduces the story to incoherent worthlessness. Do you really want to see Scorpion and Sub-Zero languish on forever, their essence distilled into one dimensional crap? I feel this way about characters outside MK too, such as Superman, Batman, and many other characters in comics. Whatever great moments they may have, they have the same problem in my eyes, but I understand I'm pretty alone on this.

I don't wanna see the good guys lose.

There better be new ninjas to complete the rainbow. New warriors with different abilities than the ones in Deadly Alliance & Deception.

Any warrior ideas?

I'd like an alien who crash lands onto Earthrealm and discovers the realms. He forms an alliance with Shinnok in conquering them.

The alien requires the energy of the Elder gods. Was able to get enough from Shinnok and needs to gain the power from the 5: Raiden, Fujin and new ones (Suijin & Inari)

Can there be any new heroes to be made since the Forces of Light's souls are in Quan Chi's hands? Ones that can save them?

I dunno... I liked Hotaru! Dairou though was painfully bland imo. At least Dairou had one of my favorite fatalities though!

BLACK WIDOW

BLACK WIDOW COSTUME & ALTERNATE:
"Black Widow" should be an all black dark-skinned African-American female ninja with a pair of sais to simulate the poisonous fangs of a black widow spider. She has a traditional black ninja garment such as a black short sleeved gi with red trim and loose fitting ninja pants and shoes in black. She would have an alternate color as a black ninja garments black gi and loose fitting pants with black trim. And she would have a Japanese emblem on the gi on the left side of her chest in red for her alternate color standing for fearlessness. She would have costumes just like Ibuki’s character in Street Fighter IV black shirts underneath the gi and arm and shin pads.

BACKSTORY:
Once heralded by Scorpion as one of the best close range fighters of the Shirai Ryu, Black Widow was taught the black arts of teleportation from Shirai Ryu. Years later a raid from the Lin Kuei occurred and it turns out that Black Widow was to be one of few survivors left from the massacre of her clan. In the aftermath of the war, Black Widow went into isolation to harness her fighting techniques and to preserve her clan‘s traditions and culture. Years later after the massacre, her village was hit with a surprise raid this time by Shang Tsung and a band of Outworld warriors. Black Widow and clan member Poison Ivy were at the forefront of the resistance and lead the revolt against Shang Tsung’s foreign threats. Unfortunately, the remnants of Shirai Ryu were overpowered, outnumbered and taken captive. Impressed by their well-keened fighting skills though, Shang Tsung decided to spare their lives. Her and Poison Ivy were selected as members of an elite group of nine guardians to fight opposing forces in Outworld. As long as she remains under Shang Tsung’s hypnotic trance of sorcery, she obeys the will of her warlord in Mortal Kombat.

Four Corners Teleport - Executes a move where she disappears and leaves a blinking image of herself behind and then reappears with four images of herself from the corners of the screen. She then sequentially lounges at her opponent like a hawk with her sais out with the last image of herself lands into a forward ground roll.

Ground Roll Split Kick - Executes a ground roll with legs split out on in air while in ground rolling motion towards opponent then transitions into her fighting stance.

POISON IVY

POISON IVY’S COSTUME & ALTERNATE:
She would have the traditional ninja garments like “Black Widow” would except in all white. She could have a white gi with white trim and loose fitting white ninja pants and shoes with a black Japanese emblem on her left side of her chest and a white cloth mask. Her alternate color would be that she wear a darker shade of white gi with a darker shade of white trim and a darker shade of white loose fitting ninja pants with a darker shade of white ninja cloth masks. She would also have a retractable katana ninja sword that would break down into a metal whip and be able to retract into a ninja sword. She would have costumes just like Ibuki’s character in Street Fighter IV with a white sleeveless shirt underneath the gi and arm and shin pads. And she could wear her hair in a ponytail with a small blade attached to her hair. That way she could swing her ponytail blade to lacerate her opponent in close range.

POISON IVY’S BACKSTORY:
Her back story would be that her along with Black Widow, Skarlett and Frost were of a few survivors of the massacre of her ninja clan the Shirai Ryu. In the aftermath she migrated to a discrete location to harness and preserve her clans traditions and fighting techniques. After a typical day years after the massacre, their small village was invaded by Shang Tsung and his band of warriors. Making their last stand in the fight against his army Black Widow, Skarlett, Frost and Poison Ivy and a few others were vastly outnumbered. In the battle, Shang Tsung cast a sorceress spell on both Black Widow and Poison Ivy that disoriented them and took Skarlett captive and put them under his control. Impressed by their fighting skills Shang Tsung decided to spare their lives. He decided he was going to form an elite group of nine guardians to protect him from any threats of harm from other warriors in Outworld and the tournament. So her and Black Widow enter the tournament with the intent to protect their warlord under the influence of his spell. As long as they remain under the spell they remain in his control.

POISON IVY’S SPECIALTY MOVES:
Carousel Whip - She performs a carousel motion with her whip that when she spins would cut and slice her opponent.
Chaotic Ground Poke - She thrusts her sword in the ground in a crouching position and then the metal whip would extend out of the other side of the ground and hit her opponent suspending them in the air with multiple hits and then she could recoil the whip back to the ninja sword.
Lasso Whip - She could also swing the whip like a lasso slicing her opponent.
Dominatrix Whip - She can have a move where she sort snap the whip like a dominatrix at her opponent striking her opponent.
Tripping Whip - She can lay her whip on the ground and almost pull the whip from her opponent’s feet tripping them up in the air.
Ground Poke Backstab - She can thrust her sword in the ground and the whip come out the other side of the ground and impale her opponent from the back.
Metal Whip Wrap - She can launch her whip at her opponent and it would wrap around her opponent and she could then pull the whip back to her and cause her opponent to spin in a full body twists in mid-air and fall down.
Aerial Ninja Sword Slice - Another move can be that she do a leap forward similar to the slow motion training simulation scene between Lawrence Fishbourne and Keana Reeves in Matrix I, and then slice her opponent with her ninja sword.
Windmill Slice - She can do a windmill slice with her sword, or do standard slices and cuts with her sword. She can do a step off her opponent’s chest and do a half twist in the air and slice her opponents back.

Chaotic Backstabbing Sword Lodge - She could impale her opponent in the back when she grabs them and shards of metal chaotically strike her opponent in the chest and then she dislodge the sword from their back.
Metal Whip Silhouette - She can do a gymnastic like silhouette move with her whip causing shards of metal to strike her opponent and then she coil back the whip into a ninja sword. It would look like the scene in “Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon” where Jade Fox escapes the fight scene she has with Li Mu Bai over the brick wall.
Rainbow Impalement - She can have a move where she points her hand to her opponent and the ninja sword breaks down into a rainbow over her head and towards her opponent to impale her opponent and then retract back into the ninja sword.

GENESIS

GENESIS COSTUME:

With sought after assistance, Raiden enlisted help from Luminous the god of light in the heavens. Receiving word that there was a war brewing between the two worlds, Luminous enlisted his most trusted guardian, Genesis to assist with the efforts in the Earth realm.
With the knowledge of good and evil, he has proven to be the most trusted defender of light amongst, Luminous’ ranks.

But what other species have we not seen yet in MK in order to make them look human-looking?

Scorpion is a "Spectre", a Wraith is a different type of undead with different powers. You might want to just call the category "Undead", but MK9 also uses the term "Revenants" to describe all the people Quan Chi has brought back from the dead, or plans to bring back, like the good guys who are now his slaves in Story Mode.

Noob Saibot's the only "Wraith"...although Reiko might be one too. He's definitely an Undead, it's never been said what kind, but he might be the same as Noob since they have some moves and traits in common.

You can keep Reiko under Outworlders if you like, I guess (though if you were going to do that, why not put Scorpion and Noob under Humans and put "undead" in parenthesis next to all their names? And do the same for Sindel while you're at it...) but he's actually dead, which is why his allegiance changes back and forth between Shao Kahn and the Brotherhood of Shadow, and why his bio in MK4 mentions him having the power to reappear after dying in battle.

Also, Shao Kahn should be listed under Immortals, not Outworlders. And I guess "Outworlders" is fine for Onaga...but since he's not actually the same species as the rest of them and the point of your list is to divide everybody into species, maybe make a separate "Dragon-Man" or "Dragon King" category just for him?

You accidentally listed Sheeva twice (once under Shokans and once under Humans) and wrote Kintaro under Centaurs instead of Motaro.

And you forgot entirely to list Shang Tsung (Human), Khameleon (Saurian), Meat (a Dark Creation), Taven and Daegon (Edenian, though you should put "Half-God" or "Half-Immortal" in parenthesis next to them and Rain), and Blaze (a Creation...though I wouldn't call him "dark". Specifically, he's an "Elemental".)

Also Male Chameleon...but since we don't know for sure if he's a Saurian or something else, that's fine. And Mokap...but I'm sure nobody cares.

Thanks for the reminder.

But I'm not gonna put
- Mokap
- Blaze
- Taven
- Daegon
- Meat
- Khameleon & Chameleon

Not quite useful.

Anyways... about what I said.

What other species has MK not had yet?

Scorpion is a revenant
Sindel is an Edenian with banshee abilities
Noob Saibot is a wraith

They haven't added....

- angels

http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Mythic_Physiology

And what do you think of this link?

Khameleon's a female example of a Saurian, how's that not useful to a list of species?

Fixed it.

Anyway...

About MK having to add new races and new human statuses into the game.

I dunno about adding new races because at a certain point, it makes you wonder how original you can be if you're raiding other kinds of fantasy for ideas and end up adding Elves and Dwarves as a result.

I mean, the MKA version of Motaro was a Satyr instead of a Centaur. In mythology, a satyr is technically a type of fairy. Do we really want to open the door for sparkly chicks with butterfly wings to be MK characters?

Adding Vampires was pushing it in terms of being unoriginal, but they sorta saved it by making Nitara different from vampires in other stuff are by giving her wings.

MK shines best I think when it makes up its own races, like, nothing similar to Shokans and Tarkatans really can be found anywhere else in fantasy fiction, and that's cool.
Besides, in order to add another race, they'd have to add another realm for that race to come from, and MK has too many realms already given how Seido and Chaosrealm don't ever really fit into the plots, MK really only works when it focuses on Earth, Outworld, and Hell. Anything else is always stuck off to the side and nothing interesting happens there.
The only real exception would be if they add Angels, because there's already Angels or something pretending to be Angels mentioned in Ashrah's storyline, and Heaven, Gods, Hell, and Demons already exist.
