Should there be multiple sub-bosses again, including the guest?

Ever since MKA, we've had more than one sub-boss, and which one we fought has always been random. Should that be the case again?

I believe that certain non-MK characters, like Jason Voorhees, the Predator or the Spawn villain Violator, would work better as bosses or semi-bosses (stronger than most of the roster, weaker than bosses) than regular characters.

Obviously, guest sub-bosses should be playable, as should MK ones, which is probably already the case with Goro.

Which guest characters do you think would work as sub-bosses? After those three I mentioned, I'd say Kusaregedo from the Samurai Shodown games, Eyedol or Gargos from the Killer Instinct series, but the first one's not that likely, and the other two would be X-Bone exclusive thus already deconfirmed.

No to the guest; discussions about how/whether to implement guests have been done to death so I'm not going to go into that here.

I do miss the days though where you had a small gauntlet of bosses to run through at the end of an arcade mode, not just a sub (sometimes) and a main. I think MKII got it right in that respect with Shang, Kintaro, and Kahn, with increasing levels of threat. Three's a good number.

I know these are unlikely but I think Nemeses, Tyrant, or pre-blob William Birkin from Resident Evil could make good guest sub-bosses if they were going to do guest sub-bosses.

Yes to multiple subbosses, no to guest subboss.

I want a centaur subboss. I felt cheated that the mechanics of Motaro couldn't work for MK9. Hopefully they've been working on that. So I want Motaro or maybe his revenge-seeking centaur brother.

I'd also like to c that skeletal demon Shinnok summons for some of his moves. That could be HIS SubBoss if we do get to c the MK4 story play out.

I get the feeling that we're going to see multiple bosses/sub-bosses this time around. I feel like there should be a boss at the end of the Nether Realm War, the Outworld Civil War, and whatever other story arcs are present.

A guest sub-boss? Sure, that's a great idea if you're just trying to make everybody mad.

Only the main boss and one sub-boss. Which the main boss will be a fun returning character and the sub-boss should be a new character.

Don't forget Ustanak from RE6. But your suggestions are good, Nemesis, especially. Other characters that could work as sub-bosses are the Marvel villains Blackheart, Venom and Carnage, or Wolverine with an insane healing factor that the playable version either wouldn't have, or only in a much more limited capacity.

But guest sub-bosses or not, here are features regarding multiple sub-bosses that should be implemented: one, you should never know in advance which sub-bosses you're gonna fight, and two, there should sometimes be endurance boss fights like in MKT and CSZ's fight against both Goro and Kintaro.

I miss the days of Street Fighter 2 where you had to fight 3 sub-bosses (Balrog, Vega, and Sagat) to get to M. Bison. Fun times.

So I'm all for multiple sub-bosses, each having an increasing level of difficulty.

Because some non-MK characters, like the rumored Predator and Jason Voorhees, would be better as sub-bosses, or semi-bosses you fight before the sub-boss, similar to Shang Tsung in MK2/9.

The AI-controlled version of Jason could be the classic undead one, who barely flinches from attacks, and who walks slowly. The undead Jason should be an unlockable variant only for single-player and only playable on the hardest difficulty settings.

I didn't like the multiple bosses at all in MK9 actually. I think Goro and Kintaro were not at all imposing or hard to beat and they seemed very unimportant and interchangeable when reaching them on the tag ladder. Giving a singular character the spotlight and having them be focused on in terms of difficulty would make them more memorable, and I REALLY hope the sub-boss is not Goro again but hopefully someone new.

If the main boss is a "fun returning character", then I hope at least the sub-boss is brand new. I just don't really know personally how to top the ones that have already been done.

And no to a guest character IMO.
