I do think Jade is definitely coming. Her VA has posted multiple BTS of her at WB studios and most recently ending her post with green hearts … 💚💚💚 so hopefully we’ll see…. #TeamJade💚
Idky but I legit have been in love with Hotaru ever since his introduction. I have always begged for him to be reimagined in a new game. The design is so siq
Here are some characters I would like to see in DLC: Cobra: Given the new timeline he would be a perfect fit to get introduced as kind of a wildcard. While we get to know his MK1 persona he could play a bigger role in Titan Havicks entourage and maybe even get a Streetfighter skin. And then there is also the possibility to give him a Cobra Kai skin to get a bit of crosspromotion going. Kintaro: We got Goro and Sheeva as DLC and I think it would be due time to give Kintaro some time to shine. This would also be an opportunity to give us a glimpse into the state of the Shokan clan system. Drahmin: Fans wanted him to be part of MK1, but he did not get a role on the main roster. So DLC is good opportunity for him. He could be part of Havicks forces and play a punching bag in their forces, while the counterpart of Liu Kangs timeline can slowly gain power and rise to a prominent role in the Netherrealm. NRS can have the cake and eat it making one version of him into a punching bag, while the main timeline counterpart becomes way more threatening. Sektor: With him being mentioned in the MK1 ladder endings there is a good chance to get a first look at the start of the Cyber Lin Kuei in the DLC. Sektor would be ideal for that. And the Fans always want the Cyborgs. D'Vorrah: Unpopular opinion, but I like D'Vorrah as a bad guy. I always had the opinion most people hate her mostly because she was the one killing Fan Favorites of the series. They hated her for being effective. Getting to kill Melina and Hanzo brought her hate she didn't deserve. I always thought she was a perfect fit for Mortal Kombat. She brings something unique to MK. Being the Queen of a Hive unlike Ermac, who is a collection of souls. As well as having a disgusting insect look to her. She is good bad guy people can hate for what she is. Jade: for all the reasons in the video.
Kotal Kahn was done sooooooo dirty in Mortal Kombat 11 (among with many others...). My favorite newcomer from MKX and someone replacing the mighty Shao Kahn could/should have had much more and better done with him.
If I’m Argus, I would send Blaze to assassinate Shao Kahn and all sorts of threats. That would have solved a lot of problems instead of killing everyone in Armageddon.
No no gotta test your sons to see who's worthy to succeed you lol. Blaze frrl was technically around the whole time and had the ability to beat everyone early MK
The problem though is the One Being. If its chosen one is no longer worthy as a puppet, the One Being will move to the next puppet. Shao Kahn was the One Being's chosen one in the 1st and 2nd timelines. Shao Kahn succeeded in Armageddon, but failed in MK9 so the One Being began backing Shinnok for MK X. After Shinnok was dealt with, Shao Kahn was brought back by Kronika in MK 11. Even though there is no evidence, we may presume the One Being may have influenced Kronika behind the scenes and Shao Kahn almost succeeded in Aftermath until he was cut short by Shang Tsung. We could presume the One Being may have gave Shao a second chance in the 2nd timeline until he died again. The defeat of Kronika would spell the start of the MK multiverse and now a whole bunch of timelines from the 2nd timeline and new era are in konflict. We might presume the One Being is still around in the new era first backing Titan Shang Tsung and now Titan Havik since Shao's history was rewritten to make him no longer a konqueror in the new era. The One Being may have influence of other unknown titans from the 2nd timeline set to invade the new era. There might even be a new era version of the One Being to go with the one from the 2nd timeline. tl;dr - Don't count out the One Being.
@Ngamer01 I forget that their's a God stronger than Elder Gods and Titans. Armageddon was a setup but they did a reboot lol. I think when Onaga dragged Shao Khan away, someone must've gave him strength to rise and beat Onaga to come back to a weaken Blaze and whatever combatants left which he'd kill Blaze thus stealing the power, finishing off everyone left except for Raiden then reboot Edit: different studios which is why remake but still lol
@@bzking24what about a titan is it stronger than let’s say liu kang that made life it’s self…. Liu probaby made blaze in this new timeline so if he made him this time he can also destroy him….
Argus was a schizo. His logic was: The apocalypse is unavoidable, so I will cause the apocalypse in order to prevent it and make my sons participate in a tournament where if they succeed, they will either cause the apocalypse or have no effect (I will also not tell which one will have what ending)
I think Skarlet will be created with the help of Quan chi and Nitara to create the perfect warrior for General Shao army and it would be amazing to introduce Jade,Kabal,Jax,Fujin,Nightwolf and Sonya with Kano In this story dlc at War between General Shao and The Queen Mileena to take her throne I can see General Shao with Dragon King Onaga as his pet by his side along with Shao's new allies being: Skarlet,Kintaro,Kollector,Devorah and Eeron Black along with Motaro,Goro and Reiko and on Mileena's side having: Ermac,Jade,Tanya,Li Mei,Rain,Kotal,Kitana,Baraka,Reptile and Sheeva In this war + help from mortals like: Liu Kang,Geras,Raiden,Johnny Cage,Sonya,Shujinko,Fujin,Nightwolf,Ashrah,Sareena,Kung Lao,Jax and Kenshi Meanwhile the Shirayriu against the Lin Kuai in a civil war with Frost,Harumi and Hanzo participating in this war and also the Lin Kuai robots with Cyrax and Sektor and also the creation of Noob Saibot This story dlc would be crazy I can't wait to see UwU 🤔😎😌👍like and Bye!
Loved the video. While I do think the New Era allows us to explore characters in a new way with familiar elements, they didn't pull of too well when it came to certain characters for example Tanya. I strongly feel that she should've had something to do with covering up Jerrod's murder/corrupting the Umgadi. I mean her being Umgadi (which takes first-born children and indoctrinates them to serve the royals) would be a great catalyst for her to betray them. She could see her betraying them as her reclaiming her freedom and perhaps the other sisters agree with her. This forms a splinter faction within the Umgadi with Tanya weaving a web of lies and deceit as they undermine the royals. In this way, Tanya retains her old identity while at the same time, we see where she's coming from. She doesn't want this life because she didn't choose it. Mixing in what you said about Jade and we have an interesting and familiar dynamic. I would love it if Jade confronted Tanya and said, "Still alive, deceiver"
I know it's controversial, but I'd really like to see a Sonya become part of the black dragon, partnered with Kano going against Jax. Personally, I think it's a bit weird that we have only seen evil characters become good in the new tineline and not really seen any good characters go evil. I know the Sindel retcon from 11 probably has a lot to do with it, they're probably scared of the backlash, but, honestly I think if it was done right it could do well instead of just being a random change to a character
Cyrax, sektor, jade, jax, hotaru, hanzo hasashi ,master kai, shujinko, harumi shirai, they were all mentioned in dialogues and/or in tower mode, thay fit well to be put in the story
Characters like Chameleon, Meat, Mokap or Moloch aren't ever coming back as playable characters most likely kameos if that's the tradition going forward in every MK game but characters like Hotaru, Taven, Daegon etc should return back playable.
If they did return Taven and Daegon I would hope they get a full rework in terms of their gameplay. There are way too many characters with fire abilities already it’s too overrated.
I think Jade is the Head Mistress of the Outworld Sorcerer's Academy or at least the daughter of who ever is. Kotal definitely needs some redemption, I could see him just being a high ranking soldier in Kitana's new army but a General for Shao could work as well. I think Hotaru probably will try to enforce order in Outworld, I can see him butting heads with Li Mei and the Umgadi. I could also see him trying to take Mileena's hand in marriage in hopes to become the new Emperor of Outworld.
My thought is since it's "Jade's Desert" and Sindel is buried there, we could see Jade introduced there, having the tomb of Empress Sindel on her area as a Countess and introduced to Kitana and Mileena in mourning, comforting Kitana and building their friendship
I really want to see Blaze return asap! We have only gotten to know him in the last 3 PS2 era games and the end of the first timeline I don’t want a fighter like him to just be locked away until needed. Since Onaga might return soon so should Blaze and I would like to see Hotaru return and go after Rain and try to carry out his death penalty since he feels like just locking hin up for life is too easy. Could you do a vid on the death trap stages from decption and Armageddon I really want to see those stages return in the series.
Idc about anything else, the game isn’t the same without Jade Jax and Sonya as fighters. They are the core. But I can see how they can expand the story in the new era so I can wait as long as they bring customization and the towers from 11 back
Very good ideas there. Honestly, if NRS would go for the Umgadhi subpot(solving Jarrod's murder), this would be a great reintroduction of Skarlet. Whether she would be born of blood magic or someone in the elite group and was involved with the emperor's death can be interesting. Maybe one of few disgruntled or greedy who wanted to usurp the Outworld throne, but eventually sides with Shang or Quan Chi and Obtain blood magic. The possibilities.
I really like your suggestion for Kotal. Poor dude was done dirty in the previous timeline. For me, I would like to see Kai brought back. I've been wanting his return since MK4. He's been mentioned a few times in MK1.
Erin Black and Cassie Cage are the only ones that I really care about. My favorite is Johnny Cage and I want him to be earth realm champion instead of Raiden.
My Hopes: Countess Jade Onaga General Kotal Meat Motaro Goro Art Lean Cole Young Frost Moloch Drahmin Hsu Hao D'Vorah Erron Black Blaze Taven Daegon Skarlett Stryker Kabal Kano Mokap Kai Fujin Sareena Kia Jataaka Tasia No Face Triborg Monster Ruutuu Nightwolf Belokk Jarek Kira Kibra Dairou Darrius Hotaru Kollector
I’ve heard a theory recently that with Tanya being the loyal bodyguard and friend of the Edenian princesses in this timeline, in this timeline Countess Jade could fill Tanya’s usual role of the traitorous villain, she has power already but she wants more, maybe even allying with Shao in MK2 maybe under the promise of being Shao’s wife and the future empress. Yes, this would bastardise Jade’s character but it’d give her more of her own character outside of just being Kitana’s friend without shoehorning a random romance out of nowhere.
if Shao is going after the Kytinn, it would be interesting to see one of the most hated MK characters, D'vorah, reframed as a protagonist. Maybe as a light mirror to Nitara
Taven Blaze and Daegon please, that retcon leaves a very small stain on how i view MK because i actually love Armageddon, its sad what happened to them they deserve move light in the franchise
Honestly I would love to see more 3d Era characters like Taven, Daegon and even Argus come back, especially if characters like blaze and onaga come back
I'd rather focus on the Red Dragon clan. Even without Daegon being a thing, it feels like the Red Dragon and their war/history with the Black Dragon is a thing that's been constantly around but never really explored. I can do without focusing on Outworld for a game.
I get where ur coming from but if we try to focus on Red Dragon that means the Black Dragon and ultimately the Special Forces would have to get involved too and they’re so heavily pushed in the universe that it’s so limiting and exhausting in the stories they tell. it’s just that MK is so lame when it focuses on real world things like that when it should focus on fictional events
Jade is definitely needed. If you have to have Hotaro then ok I'm not a hig fan of the order realm but I'm willing to meet halfway here. If you want Kotal here that fine just don't make him evil. Blaze on the other hand I don't know.
Kotal was also made into another off screen jobber during Raiden’s chapter, Sindel states that he already defeated most of Sindel’s champions including him, Motaro, and Sheeva. I think it could be time where Kotal undergoes a villain arc where he used to be the voice of morality but ultimately decides to embrace his Oshtek heritage and “harden his heart” entirely. We do need more villains and antagonists to help push the story forward and making Kotal more barbaric would both bolster Shao’s army, create drama between him and Countess Jade, and explore an alternative narrative for his story. This is also a personal take but I’d also like to see some kind of rivalry between Skarlet and Reiko, just because Reiko is the son Shao never had and Skarlet had a weird Electra complex with him in MK 11. It would at least help flesh out the jobbers in this game and have something to follow up if Reiko does (and probably will) die from Onaga.
The idea suggested for Jade is very good and the Hotaru one is a no-brainer they simply MUST do. Kall me weird, but I think Taven and/or Daegon should get a second try. Taven was admittedly a plain hero held up by the enormity of his story and we ill need another fire kharacter, but tweaking his abilities and the possibilities of the New Era feel like they kould give justice to a guy who had his only story pulled out from under him. Kai was also done dirty, but he has the problem of over-abundant fire characters AND the role of Liu Kang's disciple being filled by Raiden. He may require too much tweaking to even feel like the same guy anymore.
I like jade but would like a return of nightwolf, sareena would be cool as a playable character, skarlet i loved when she first came out the brutality of her moves and sexy looks but the redesign I hated and would to see her return, kabal I use to main alot in his first appearance and loved the way he played, ermac and sector I loved playing as well. characters never used or used once but would liked to see one day, kira, jataaka, delia, moloch, kintaro, erron black, and tremor
I would like to see Kai return as part of the next class of the White Lotus under the direction of Raiden and King Lao The jade set up was perfect but I don’t want her to be a villain. Jade, Taegon and Daegon can all return as the other part of the court we haven’t met all with different ideas of how things should be ran which creates turmoil with the princesses and Umgadi. Kotal is brought in as Reiko’s replacement immediately set on a mission to infiltrate and enslave the Kytiin. Bringing D’Vorah back to the forefront. Sonya, Stryker, Kabal, and Jax reappear because they are in investigation of a RICO they are trying to establish against Kano, Mavado, Kira, and Kobra.
I'd love to see Kotal and Jade again, especially if they're a power couple like in MK11. It's interesting in that as adult and over-the-top as MK is, it kind feel a little chaste at times. Yeah, people will have skimpy outfits, but there isn't a whole lot of talk of adult relationships. I don't necessarily mean sexual relationships, but I don't NOT mean sexual relationships, either. So seeing the two of them together again would be nice on multiple levels.
Have the real life raijin be a sub boss with a twist to his background and be from Real life earth or some other realm thats new to series. Or shao kahn from the original timeline find his way to the new timeline challenge liu Kang power. I know raiden is in the game but have real life and mythological figures in the games. Even a god of fatalities
I want some of the crazy multiverse characters in the main cast. Why can’t we have a cyber zombie lui lang in the main cast. Utilize the dumb multiverse plot line for interesting characters.
I hope in the new timeline we see a good Shang Tsung Quan Chi Even though I don't like these two That would have been a M Night Shamyala twist Matter Of Fact would love too see a horror director get featured on a MK project Like how Take-two did with NBA2K Series I would love to see a Eli Roth or John Carpenter handling a Mortal Kombat game
would love Kai Fujin . D'Vorah Jarek but for the rest make some new cherecters is more i want in jades case id mix her with sonya a bit like jade but with a guard like army military twist
There is another character you forgot about that was named dropped in MK1 and that is Sheeva. Like Kotal she was one of the combatants of the Mortal Kombat tournament that lost too Raiden. What are your thoughts on her story @historybehindthewarrior ? As for introes Kia, Jataaka, Drahmin and Moloch has been suggested to be dead by Ashrah. But I can still see them coming back. Well at least Drahmin and Moloch, which in the comics at least fought alongside Quan Chi (the introes suggests that too). I would also like to see Meat come back because if Quan Chi has his army of demons like Drahmin and Moloch. Then Shang Tsung should have his own army too and Meat could be his first of many creations he makes to create that army. In fact with his collection of souls him having an army of golems (whether stone, wood or flesh) makes sense for him. Also I would love to see Mokap come back but without the Telekinesis. Maybe he can use special effects gear to allow him to mimic the other fighters. Which to me makes better sense as he is meant to represent the actors and other people that helped created the characters in the game. Naturally he would be a employee of Johnny Cage
@@deandreallen9965 I just don't have a PS5 hell I never even used a PS2 😭 but I played a few games at my neighbors till they moved out and I will be lucky if I get a sustainable job for now am just a student waiting for my diploma😄
Just letting you guys know, this comment may contain spoilers from MK1. I think before we can know if Kotal will return we have to consider how his entire species and culture may have been retconned. After all we have seen that species such as the Shokan seems to have stayed the same, while the Tarkata and the Zaterans were completely retconned. What does that say for other species such as the Ochtechs and the Kaytin? Regarding Blaze, I think if Liu Kang really did his homework, the character simply shouldn't exist. Furthermore, his original story was tied to the pyramid of Argus, and technically we already saw the pyramid in MK1; it's obviously not the same pyramid, but basically it was the same plot element.
Here what I would do with kotal khan mortal kombat 1 I would have him be. A general and shao kahn's army like he said he was in the old timeline. But I would have it be that he is different to the other generals in the army. By having him be not a yes man to shao kahn. I'll have it be that he is the king of his people. That the reason why he joins shao Kahn. Is because of shao kahn forcing his hand telling him join me. Or you and your kingdom your people will by my hand die. Putting him in his position where he's not opposed to. Some of what shao Kahn does but he's not necessary for it either. This could also bring up a rivalry between reiko and kotal khan where it's about who is most loyal. To shao Kahn along with who is going to be. The most truthful and youthful general. I think that dynamic would work very well in the games. Giving us both the generals but two different mindsets. Two different ideas on how to run shao army. On how to give advice to shao kahn. To help the emperor and empire in different ways.
Taven and Blaze are great characters They just need a better writing. Jade already played a big role in MK11, unlike Sareena who really needs a REAL comeback and more unique moves/fatalities. I wanna see Sonya & Jax too. I'm pretty sure they aren't Special Forces in this timeline. What if they are LOVERS? I'd love to see that
I really want to see meat return. Noob i think is a near lock to comeback and i hope they can somehow bring back the real scorpion cuz this one ain't it lol
Jade should return in the new era because she would have more individuality as a character rather than as a sidekick/guardian role to Kitana (not that's necessarily a bad though)
I just want new characters from other realms to appear, I'm honestly exhausted of seeing the same re-runs being used, don't get me wrong I am interested in seeing old characters with a new face-lift, but there’s no reason to reinvent the wheel or rediscover fire; do it sparingly and flex that creativity towards padding out the realms.
I do think Jade is definitely coming. Her VA has posted multiple BTS of her at WB studios and most recently ending her post with green hearts … 💚💚💚 so hopefully we’ll see…. #TeamJade💚

Blaze, Taven, Daegon for MK1!
😌 the only true choices
Noob saibot and Fujin would be nice to see return.
I want Kuai Liang to return to being Sub-Zero
I think Skarlet will be created with the help of Quan chi and Nitara to create the perfect warrior for General Shao army and it would be amazing to introduce Jade,Kabal,Jax,Fujin,Nightwolf and Sonya with Kano In this story dlc at War between General Shao and The Queen Mileena to take her throne I can see General Shao with Dragon King Onaga as his pet by his side along with Shao's new allies being:
Skarlet,Kintaro,Kollector,Devorah and Eeron Black along with Motaro,Goro and Reiko and on Mileena's side having:
Ermac,Jade,Tanya,Li Mei,Rain,Kotal,Kitana,Baraka,Reptile and Sheeva In this war + help from mortals like:
Liu Kang,Geras,Raiden,Johnny Cage,Sonya,Shujinko,Fujin,Nightwolf,Ashrah,Sareena,Kung Lao,Jax and Kenshi
Meanwhile the Shirayriu against the Lin Kuai in a civil war with Frost,Harumi and Hanzo participating in this war and also the Lin Kuai robots with Cyrax and Sektor and also the creation of Noob Saibot This story dlc would be crazy I can't wait to see UwU 🤔😎😌👍like and Bye!
I would want Jade, Taven, Nightwolf, Sonya, Kai and Fujin
All of them plus kotal lol sorry still my guy. I'm glad quan, havik and reiko who I've been wanting are back.
Nightswolf wont be confirmed anymore same goes with jade yet you all fans idiot gotta complain and taven should been mk1 game already instead jade 😒
Kotal Kahn is a must. He was legit a good guy how wont liu kang bring him or nightwolf back
Mkx begs to differ lol
I hope kai becomes playable. He's is shaolin monk and a student and friend of liu kang in prior games and comic.
Exactly
Blaze should totally make a return!
Idk about meat tho...
Blaze should be like a mixture of rain and reptile. He can become the new high mage but have a transformation aspect to his fighting style
Loved the video. While I do think the New Era allows us to explore characters in a new way with familiar elements, they didn't pull of too well when it came to certain characters for example Tanya.

Armageddon 2 would be so dope! Imagine playing as Taven again but with the latest graphics roaming around the MK world

And Also a good kameo
Hotaru is an absolute must for MK13

Kotal definitely needs some redemption, I could see him just being a high ranking soldier in Kitana's new army but a General for Shao could work as well.

All classic characters from mk1.2.3 and 3U
I really like your suggestion for Kotal. Poor dude was done dirty in the previous timeline.
For me, I would like to see Kai brought back. I've been wanting his return since MK4. He's been mentioned a few times in MK1.
Shujinko as a main character would be cool too
They're most likely probably going to reboot again after Onaga is defeated/if he's introduced.
Erin Black and Cassie Cage are the only ones that I really care about. My favorite is Johnny Cage and I want him to be earth realm champion instead of Raiden.
My Hopes:
Countess Jade
Onaga
General Kotal
Meat
Motaro
Goro
Art Lean
Cole Young
Frost
Moloch
Drahmin
Hsu Hao
D'Vorah
Erron Black
Blaze
Taven
Daegon
Skarlett
Stryker
Kabal
Kano
Mokap

I’ve heard a theory recently that with Tanya being the loyal bodyguard and friend of the Edenian princesses in this timeline, in this timeline Countess Jade could fill Tanya’s usual role of the traitorous villain, she has power already but she wants more, maybe even allying with Shao in MK2 maybe under the promise of being Shao’s wife and the future empress. Yes, this would bastardise Jade’s character but it’d give her more of her own character outside of just being Kitana’s friend without shoehorning a random romance out of nowhere.
Oh I really hope not. I absolutely love Jade especially in MK11 and would hate seeing her turned to an outright villain.
@@AllThisOverASliceOfGabagool it’s not like NRS is above that sort of thing.
@@Evoker23-lx8mboh I know. I just hope it doesn't happen.
@@Evoker23-lx8mb looks like some people forgot mk annihilation existed lmao.
if Shao is going after the Kytinn, it would be interesting to see one of the most hated MK characters, D'vorah, reframed as a protagonist. Maybe as a light mirror to Nitara
Skarlet, Jade and Noob Saibot
Mokap should return and become Earthrealm's champion
Who I think should be playable in the New Era:
Zebron
Belokk
Tiamat
Cathy Long
Art Lean
Asgaarth
I know who Art Lean is, but who’s everyone else here?
I'm trying to figure this out, too...@@joshuagorski9452
@@joshuagorski9452 The rest are koncept art characters that have yet to be playable.
@@KarlSturmgewher I’d like to see them playable in the future.
Great suggestions, also adding
Wu Lae

Taja

I just want my favorite wind god fujin
Taven Blaze and Daegon please, that retcon leaves a very small stain on how i view MK because i actually love Armageddon, its sad what happened to them they deserve move light in the franchise
Honestly I would love to see more 3d Era characters like Taven, Daegon and even Argus come back, especially if characters like blaze and onaga come back
I'd rather focus on the Red Dragon clan. Even without Daegon being a thing, it feels like the Red Dragon and their war/history with the Black Dragon is a thing that's been constantly around but never really explored. I can do without focusing on Outworld for a game.
I get where ur coming from but if we try to focus on Red Dragon that means the Black Dragon and ultimately the Special Forces would have to get involved too and they’re so heavily pushed in the universe that it’s so limiting and exhausting in the stories they tell. it’s just that MK is so lame when it focuses on real world things like that when it should focus on fictional events
i would to aee jade get her own chapter w/o it being attach to a man like in mk11
That is a great take on jade! I can’t wait to see her! I hope they do her justice.
History behind the warrior Could Lucifer Be a playable character In the future mortal Kombat game ?
I want to see the great Kang Lao but I don't no if he alive or not so yeah I want to see kung jin then so yeah I'm a big mortal kombat fan as well.
🔥🔥
I'm pretty sure in a voice intro mileena mentions she made kotal general
Jade is definitely needed. If you have to have Hotaro then ok I'm not a hig fan of the order realm but I'm willing to meet halfway here. If you want Kotal here that fine just don't make him evil. Blaze on the other hand I don't know.
i hope they give rain and hotaru the winter soldier and black panther type of relationship from civil war
It would make sense for the Gods to interfere...
A statement repeated during every single conflict since the 2d era, and we're still waiting.
Kotal was also made into another off screen jobber during Raiden’s chapter, Sindel states that he already defeated most of Sindel’s champions including him, Motaro, and Sheeva. I think it could be time where Kotal undergoes a villain arc where he used to be the voice of morality but ultimately decides to embrace his Oshtek heritage and “harden his heart” entirely. We do need more villains and antagonists to help push the story forward and making Kotal more barbaric would both bolster Shao’s army, create drama between him and Countess Jade, and explore an alternative narrative for his story.
This is also a personal take but I’d also like to see some kind of rivalry between Skarlet and Reiko, just because Reiko is the son Shao never had and Skarlet had a weird Electra complex with him in MK 11. It would at least help flesh out the jobbers in this game and have something to follow up if Reiko does (and probably will) die from Onaga.
I think Reiko succeed, Shao stated he already tamed Onaga.
@@TheWarchiefZekeJaeger wait really? What character interaction was this with?
They should really add Taven .. unlike most of the characters from Mortal Kombat he's got an awesome lore behind him
The idea suggested for Jade is very good and the Hotaru one is a no-brainer they simply MUST do.
Kall me weird, but I think Taven and/or Daegon should get a second try. Taven was admittedly a plain hero held up by the enormity of his story and we ill need another fire kharacter, but tweaking his abilities and the possibilities of the New Era feel like they kould give justice to a guy who had his only story pulled out from under him.
Kai was also done dirty, but he has the problem of over-abundant fire characters AND the role of Liu Kang's disciple being filled by Raiden. He may require too much tweaking to even feel like the same guy anymore.
Need a goro type character
I like jade but would like a return of nightwolf, sareena would be cool as a playable character, skarlet i loved when she first came out the brutality of her moves and sexy looks but the redesign I hated and would to see her return, kabal I use to main alot in his first appearance and loved the way he played, ermac and sector I loved playing as well. characters never used or used once but would liked to see one day, kira, jataaka, delia, moloch, kintaro, erron black, and tremor
I would like to see Kai return as part of the next class of the White Lotus under the direction of Raiden and King Lao
The jade set up was perfect but I don’t want her to be a villain. Jade, Taegon and Daegon can all return as the other part of the court we haven’t met all with different ideas of how things should be ran which creates turmoil with the princesses and Umgadi.
Kotal is brought in as Reiko’s replacement immediately set on a mission to infiltrate and enslave the Kytiin. Bringing D’Vorah back to the forefront.
Sonya, Stryker, Kabal, and Jax reappear because they are in investigation of a RICO they are trying to establish against Kano, Mavado, Kira, and Kobra.
Wheres Kai the man sat out every game since deadly alliance desception Mk9 mkx mk11 that featured MK4 characters
I'd like to see hotaru, Cobra, Kira, Cyrax and Sektor (human form) and Taven
I want to see Taven Daegon Onaga Blaze Hsu Hao Kira Kobra Chameleon Kabal Jade and Ko'atal Kotal Kahn to return in Mortal Kombat 1
None of them won’t be confirmed you ask ed boon you’re idiot 😒
I'd love to see Kotal and Jade again, especially if they're a power couple like in MK11. It's interesting in that as adult and over-the-top as MK is, it kind feel a little chaste at times.
Yeah, people will have skimpy outfits, but there isn't a whole lot of talk of adult relationships. I don't necessarily mean sexual relationships, but I don't NOT mean sexual relationships, either. So seeing the two of them together again would be nice on multiple levels.
I want Kintaro, Ziang, Hornbuckle, and Hotaru. Kotal is too much of a jobber to try putting him over now.
Have the real life raijin be a sub boss with a twist to his background and be from Real life earth or some other realm thats new to series. Or shao kahn from the original timeline find his way to the new timeline challenge liu Kang power. I know raiden is in the game but have real life and mythological figures in the games. Even a god of fatalities
I want some of the crazy multiverse characters in the main cast. Why can’t we have a cyber zombie lui lang in the main cast. Utilize the dumb multiverse plot line for interesting characters.
Please give us Erron back🤞
I hope in the new timeline we see a good
Shang Tsung
Quan Chi
Even though I don't like these two
That would have been a M Night Shamyala twist
Matter Of Fact would love too see a horror director get featured on a MK project
Like how Take-two did with NBA2K Series
I would love to see a Eli Roth or John Carpenter handling a Mortal Kombat game
Kotal is the Nathan Jessep of mk
would love Kai
Fujin .
D'Vorah
Jarek but for the rest make some new cherecters is more i want
in jades case id mix her with sonya a bit like jade but with a guard like army military twist
There is another character you forgot about that was named dropped in MK1 and that is Sheeva. Like Kotal she was one of the combatants of the Mortal Kombat tournament that lost too Raiden. What are your thoughts on her story @historybehindthewarrior ? As for introes Kia, Jataaka, Drahmin and Moloch has been suggested to be dead by Ashrah. But I can still see them coming back. Well at least Drahmin and Moloch, which in the comics at least fought alongside Quan Chi (the introes suggests that too). I would also like to see Meat come back because if Quan Chi has his army of demons like Drahmin and Moloch. Then Shang Tsung should have his own army too and Meat could be his first of many creations he makes to create that army. In fact with his collection of souls him having an army of golems (whether stone, wood or flesh) makes sense for him. Also I would love to see Mokap come back but without the Telekinesis. Maybe he can use special effects gear to allow him to mimic the other fighters. Which to me makes better sense as he is meant to represent the actors and other people that helped created the characters in the game. Naturally he would be a employee of Johnny Cage
I wish I could play mortal Kombat and experience this bliss😢
Why can't you play
@@deandreallen9965 I just don't have a PS5 hell I never even used a PS2 😭 but I played a few games at my neighbors till they moved out and I will be lucky if I get a sustainable job for now am just a student waiting for my diploma😄
All of them should, and no more teams, keep it original MK
I really want Tremor to be a playable character, instead of a Kameo
Bring back tremor 2024-25
Why don’t I not receive notifications when you upload
To this day I’m still wondering how did Shoa even get back to the pyramid if Onaga grabbed and flew away with him
I want Blaze back as a playable character, more than anything.
Jade, Taven, ferra Thor and dvorah
Just letting you guys know, this comment may contain spoilers from MK1.
I think before we can know if Kotal will return we have to consider how his entire species and culture may have been retconned. After all we have seen that species such as the Shokan seems to have stayed the same, while the Tarkata and the Zaterans were completely retconned. What does that say for other species such as the Ochtechs and the Kaytin?
Regarding Blaze, I think if Liu Kang really did his homework, the character simply shouldn't exist. Furthermore, his original story was tied to the pyramid of Argus, and technically we already saw the pyramid in MK1; it's obviously not the same pyramid, but basically it was the same plot element.
They should bring some characters from the mk spinoffs
Kotal Kahn always sucks!
He should only return as a cameo being a severed head, or a impaled corpse in the back of a stage
Kotal khan would be perfect
As Kameo Fighters:
Mokap
Kintaro
Blaze
Chameleon
Skarlet
Cetrion
Kollector
As Main Roster:
Jade
Onaga
Kung Jin
Nightwolf
Here what I would do with kotal khan mortal kombat 1 I would have him be. A general and shao kahn's army like he said he was in the old timeline. But I would have it be that he is different to the other generals in the army. By having him be not a yes man to shao kahn. I'll have it be that he is the king of his people. That the reason why he joins shao Kahn. Is because of shao kahn forcing his hand telling him join me. Or you and your kingdom your people will by my hand die. Putting him in his position where he's not opposed to. Some of what shao Kahn does but he's not necessary for it either. This could also bring up a rivalry between reiko and kotal khan where it's about who is most loyal. To shao Kahn along with who is going to be. The most truthful and youthful general. I think that dynamic would work very well in the games. Giving us both the generals but two different mindsets. Two different ideas on how to run shao army. On how to give advice to shao kahn. To help the emperor and empire in different ways.
I was the 600th like
Jade Skarlet Kintaro Blaze Noobsaibot Sareena Shinnock Fujin Kai Nightwolf Jaxsbriggs Sonyablade Kano Kabal Erronblack
Wow I can make a list let's see Stryker I didn't see Sonya blade in MK 1 Kintaro
I just hope they give Kotal character a complete revamp, in MKX and MK11 he sucked.
Hotaru
Noob sibot , fujin, Night wolf, kano Kintaro, Jade, sckarlet ,frost all as main characters
What bout hydro
Blaze as a golem 🤔 kinda sounds like geras role already lol
Taven and Blaze are great characters They just need a better writing. Jade already played a big role in MK11, unlike Sareena who really needs a REAL comeback and more unique moves/fatalities. I wanna see Sonya & Jax too. I'm pretty sure they aren't Special Forces in this timeline. What if they are LOVERS? I'd love to see that
It's easy to bring back old favourites like Havik and Ashrah. Bet they won't bring back Tsu Hao, Kobra, or Taven.
I really want to see meat return. Noob i think is a near lock to comeback and i hope they can somehow bring back the real scorpion cuz this one ain't it lol
Jade should return in the new era because she would have more individuality as a character rather than as a sidekick/guardian role to Kitana (not that's necessarily a bad though)
Kotal Kahn please!!! lol
Jax , Stryker , Sonya , Jade ,Kabal , Sektor , Cyrax , Skarlet , Kotal Kahn should come back in the New era.
I would rather have Stryker and kabal be the mainline “special forces” but only have them in S.w.a.t.
Jax and Sonya had their time to shine now.
I need Skarlet back they could pick one idea for her and stick with it
I just want new characters from other realms to appear, I'm honestly exhausted of seeing the same re-runs being used, don't get me wrong I am interested in seeing old characters with a new face-lift, but there’s no reason to reinvent the wheel or rediscover fire; do it sparingly and flex that creativity towards padding out the realms.
Knowing NRS, they're gonna retcon Taven and Daegon back into the third timeline somehow.
GIVE MY BOY KOTAL SOME REDEMPTION🗣️🗣️
Gave him his MKX - like gameplay too.
