their is a theory they adfded them so people would by the game more on pc so their would be mods to play as them in the game or they wanted to focus more on other things than just the roster
it's not a easy way, with kameos game becomes more diverse and hard for developer to balance, right now there are 360 options to chose, it's insane compared to the past 3 games combined, don't call it lazy, NRS mainly focusing on making innovation to the fighting genre, not all developers would go into this road, but it's very refreshing and in time will get appreciated.
Kinda wished that Scorpion, Sub Zero and Kung Lao kameos were replaced with Nightwolf, Kabal, and Skarlet kameos instead. Kinda like the kameos to be all non playable main fighters.
I understand sub-zero and scorpion even tho I agree with you but I don’t understand why kung lao is one he’s literally one of the least changed characters
@@mr.sandman4498You damn m*ron, the entire idea if this mechanic probably comes from wanting Sub-Zero team up with Scorpion as a cameo and vice versa 🤦♂️

Am I the only one, who wishes kameo fighters to be also playable. Am I the only one who wished Nightwolf, Kabal, Kintaro, Tremor, Skarlet, Kronika, Kotal Kahn or Shinnok to be in here?
Also in case people are wondering there are many unplayable characters and kameos exclusive to story. For example all playable characters have a kameo versions of themselves that you cannot select and only available in story(IE Scorpion and Subzero has a story mode kameo that uses their current look and moveset). Quan-Chi is dlc only and is not unlockable, this goes for his kameo as well which is exclusive to story mode only and is not unlockable. The blank character slot is not an unlockable character, it’s a character selection extender that will open up a whole other character selection menu for dlc characters, same for the kameo selection menu. Shang Tsung is pre-order dlc only, not unlockable, though you can still unlock and buy skins for him even if you don’t own him. The “24th” character could just be the boss character, Titan Shang Tsung(no he is not playable by normal means). The game is fun, the story is fun as well. As a big fan of MK you will definitely enjoy the game. Trust me you will enjoy the game as much as I am enjoying it.
"The blank character slot is not an unlockable character, it’s a character selection extender that will open up a whole other character selection menu for dlc characters" --- you don't know that. the blank spot is on the far bottom right. there's no room for it to extend anywhere like the character select extender on MK9's menu. so i call cap on that one.
I think the 24th character is an unlockable, in-game hidden fighter. Just like the old days! Or at least I hope so. It'd be nice having secret characters again.
@@FluffBear01 But MKX & MK 11 gave DLC characters their own spots on the character select screen. I don't see why they'd go back to the ways of 12 years ago when it was their first time ever doing DLC characters 🤔
With the number of special moves and fatalities already implemented in the Kameos, I hope that someday the Kameo fighters would also be playable. I mean, it would bring more combo and gameplay potential and would be a big but understandable missed opportunity if it NRS decided to keep it as it is.
@@jackjax7921they should change it so that Jax is a Heavyweight boxer and Sonya Kung-Fu yoga gymnast lol. Fuck the whole special forces/cop crap. Super boring imo.
This roster is so insane. I love how the story is starting from the beginning with all the characters. I just bought a PS5 and I’m waiting to move into my new apartment. I got four games including this one and I can’t wait to play it.
@@smokeyrobinson7768 Awesome I hope you have a blast with it. Once I get moved and settled I want to get SteelRising and Castillo Protocol. I heard that one was alot like Dead Space.
After completing the game I think the final slot is for a custom character that we’re going to be able to create. Because there was some wild character combos in the final act that I can’t image they’d not let us play as
@@adonm6998Raiden is no longer a god and Tanya seems to be more plot relevant now since her last appearance as DLC for Mortal Kombat X, I dunno about Kung Lao
Theres no way. I gotta be the craziest mf then. Everyone looks like NPC quest givers in the face. they all look like iterations of the same person. Literally used one asian face model for both male and female characters lol. I cant be the crazy one rn.
Yooooo Shujinko being in here made me so happy. Deception is my favorite MK game of all time and I used to actually main shujinko in that game. He was a super fun character to play and you would naturally get really good with him in the Konquest mode
@@flipdiesel9652what ? Nah bruh this game straight ass and yk it. Support characters? These new gen teams only money hungry and give us half ass games. Armageddon & shaolin monks will forever top these weak ass projects.
So 23 characters + 6 DLC = 29. Considering how big MK11 was with its roster, my bet is the crew may want to top it in this game. So my bet is we may get two more kombat packs of DLC with six fighters each (this is only a theory). 12 more characters. Who do you want to see in this game next? Post your thoughts.
What if in this timeline Kano and Sonya switch roles. Kano would be Colonel Kano of the British SAS. Instead of his metal face he’d wear an eye patch (think of a Captain Price like character) and Sonya blade L would be a latina guerrilla fighter from Colombia working for the Cartel.
Interesting, I am not sure how Kabal would work in the new era. He is awesome no doubt, but he'd need a whole new reason to wind up in the suit and mask.
@@kaigeroberts1355 The story has to differ form MK 9. Every character in MK 1 is a new and alternate version of themselves with a new origin. Kabal could be in the game, he just needs a different story.
@@FearFrontierOFFICIAL my guy Stryker is always a cop in every god damn game and having Kabal be a cop would literally defer from him being the red dragon clan leader or a member of the black dragon stop trying to act like a smart ass
I really wish they didn’t double down on the magic stuff, whatever is so awesome to have Sonya or the cyber ninjas back as playable characters. Narratively I kind of wish they didn’t reboot everything so we can have Cassie at her team back.
I think that last charter and last kameo will drop with the patch on day one! Makes no sense to just be sitting there! With all the leaks that’s probably the one thing they don’t want to leak
Yo as an old head MK player, feels good to see some of these guys I havent seen since ps2 days. If you remember them, respect to ya. If not? Y'all missing out. Reiko. Ashrah. Nitara. Havik. Li Mei. Sareena. Darius. Shunjinko. Motaro. Glad to see Blaze and/or Taven left you recognizable enough for Liu Kang to bring you back 😂😊
I mean that's the NRS way of doing things. The fact Shang Tsung is a pre-order character when he's already in the game is also annoying, it's the same crap they did with Goro, Shao Khan and Darkside on their previous titles.
While it's unfortunate legacy characters like Sonya,Jax,Stryker as Kameos and Quan chi,Ermac as DLC characters. Let's all celebrate and happy for the the fact that D'Vorah isn't on the Roster for once... Though since i haven't played this game yet i bet someone else will take over her spot and i hope i am wrong....
What? I found her to be a far more interesting character than Cassie, Jackie or Erron tbh!! Or that other guy who is a cousin of Kung Lao I even forgot his name given how uninteresting he is lmao

@@Colin_Lawlor_AudioHavik, General Shao, Shang Tsung, Reiko, Bi Han, Nitara... that's a decent amount of villains, plus the DLC is literally 5/6 villains
According to the Kombat Kast that happened a few hours ago, everything is unlocked thru general play. They did that so that no one feels excluded. If you only like to play single-player, you can unlock things via the various single player modes, same with multiplayer modes. Likewise, if you enjoy both, you can unlock via both ways. Also, if you want to unlock character-specific items, just play as that character. That's how I understood what the devs themselves said. If you're able, I totally support watching it when you can. I may have misunderstood, and don't want to give incorrect info
@@ianarkwright9548you’re right on that u can literally unlock items characters kameos thru many ways not just online me personally i dont play online especially fighting games haa
THEY are the prehypers. they got a copy to promote and push MK before it came out. a few beta people are probably playing now but the release is on the 19th. preorder premium is at 1000PMT@@shawnkemp6775
This is one of the reasons why I will still play MK 11 characters like Jade, Sonya, Jax Night, wolf, Erron Back, Skarlet D’ Vorah and other characters are either not in the game, or would be a tag character!!! But playing MK XL and MK 11 both would be beneficial for online play.
We know 1 Kameo character is going to be Quan chi. If you dont believe me check out Maximillion doods vid on gear when he goes into the tower at the very top we see Quan Chi as a kameo fighter. Since he is already confirmed DLC for Kombat Pack 1 we can tell that we can expect DLC to put kameos on the main roster like hopefully someone like Goro would be cool or Sareena since shes really unique in the Kameo Roster
@@LuisRdzG10 not really, scorpion and sub-zero are fan favorites they are really the face of mk tania kano and jax are not plus we need speace for new caracters in the rosters get to repetitive for the same caracters to be play over and over(sorry for grammer my english is second languaje)
@@TjScarface91 Except the game is a reboot and it's called Mortal Kombat 1. Not having Sonya is a total shame. The original 7 characters should have been the priority. There are too many 3D characters destined to be trash characters.

So while there are modern interpretations of Scorpion and Sub-Zero, the kameo versions maintain their classic look. Very cool.

Also, if you want to unlock character-specific items, just play as that character. That's how I understood what the devs themselves said. If you're able, I totally support watching it when you can. I may have misunderstood, and don't want to give incorrect info
@@ianarkwright9548you’re right on that u can literally unlock items characters kameos thru many ways not just online me personally i dont play online especially fighting games haa
@@jorgealvarezsinprecedentes I guess I'll save the best for last ;)
@@ianarkwright9548so if I want to go straight into online I won’t have the full cast unlocked already?
AL FÍN volvio el Reptile humano. Ya no soportaba que siempre lo mostraran con su forma reptíl, quería de vuelta al clasico del 2 y 3
Nunca entendi x q hacian esa tonteria😂😂
Preloaded...16 hours and counting: *!MORTAL KOMBAT!*
I already see a bunch of TH-camrs playing it. Is it not out already?
THEY are the prehypers. they got a copy to promote and push MK before it came out. a few beta people are probably playing now but the release is on the 19th. preorder premium is at 1000PMT@@shawnkemp6775
@shawnkemp6775 some scalpers managed to get physical copies early
I didn't like the cameo system, plus those characters should be playable.
Mk9 still has the best roster of all time
This is one of the reasons why I will still play MK 11 characters like Jade, Sonya, Jax Night, wolf, Erron Back, Skarlet D’ Vorah and other characters are either not in the game, or would be a tag character!!! But playing MK XL and MK 11 both would be beneficial for online play.
Me too... skipping this one for now...first MK since the first one that I skip.
The OG voice announcer was and still is the best one.
this game somehow looks so weird
Love how Kameo characters have OG costumes
Kabal wouldve been bad ass on here, couldve took out classic sub snd scorpion
Why am I stoked about Stryker tho 🔥
We need sexy female characters again
I always thought goro was this bigass beast. But if he grows up into that
If slot 24 isn't for Ed Boon, then I'm upset
I really hate that some cameo fighters looks like from the 80s/90s, but others (Seerena, Goro etc.) look modern
The difference is that seerena and Goro actually look like this in the new timeline, while the classic looking kameos are from the past one.
@@GreaterGrievobeast55 I know, they should make everyone modern. Even if they are in the story or not
The real 24th character is the friends we made along the way
bro make GORO AND MOTARO MAIN PLAYABLE CHARACTERS, THEY WERE THERE IN THE ORIGINAL TRILOGY, GOT ME TIGHT RN
The layout screen for the fighter selection is same as Injustice 2
It just shows you this was suppose to be injustice 3
Man do I hope they add alot more to that roster
This roster is as good as Mkx and mk9 imo
Way better than MKX.
@@octavionicoliniidk man. Mkx the classics, the new gen, and some of the best dlc ever. Launch roster is probably better right now tho.
We know 1 Kameo character is going to be Quan chi. If you dont believe me check out Maximillion doods vid on gear when he goes into the tower at the very top we see Quan Chi as a kameo fighter. Since he is already confirmed DLC for Kombat Pack 1 we can tell that we can expect DLC to put kameos on the main roster like hopefully someone like Goro would be cool or Sareena since shes really unique in the Kameo Roster
Kinda miss Sonya, Jax and Kano on the main roster... tbh. feels weird
Naw they were in mk9 mkx and mk11 u can play those games to play them
@@TjScarface91 They are originals, from the very 1st MK. Is like not having Scorpion or Sub Zero because they were on Mk11 and 10...
@@LuisRdzG10 not really, scorpion and sub-zero are fan favorites they are really the face of mk tania kano and jax are not plus we need speace for new caracters in the rosters get to repetitive for the same caracters to be play over and over(sorry for grammer my english is second languaje)
@@TjScarface91 Except the game is a reboot and it's called Mortal Kombat 1. Not having Sonya is a total shame. The original 7 characters should have been the priority. There are too many 3D characters destined to be trash characters.
@@wolverine4800Priority my balls!! They must rest for a while! 3D era characers are better and it's time for them to shine again!
Sareena looks dope
Man, I wish she's playable
I’m disappointed there’s no Meat kameo in the base game lol.
We need more kameos like the old characters erron black, nightwolf jade kabal cassie jacqui
This game is next gen and beautiful in every way.
Great video thanks to the author of the channel, the table looks amazing!! And yet, what about the last empty seats?? I haven't bought the game yet and that's why I don't know...🤷
I want a playable shokan....
Reptile looks so cool 🦎
no kano as a playable character 😭 now there no scumbag character 😥😥😥😥😥
Maybe reiko?
I’m a kano main from mkx till now and I’m very disappointed, but hey rumors he will be in kombat pack 2, can only hope
@@picklesthdrumer3894 I'm going to say it's going be boring with out him
@@ianeldrige9953 im sorry but reiko dose not do a job is a job mate
Kano sucks
I'm SO HAPPY slots aren't wasted on trash special forces characters. This roster is nice.
so satisfying
Shujinko needs to be a playable character or ima have to step in 😂
Darrius deserves to be playable more than Shujinko
@@asdfdc1946 what i would give for a Deception remake 🙏😤
Shujinko doesn't even have his own moves, he's lame af.
@@octavionicolini you obviously never played the Conquest mode or finished his tower 😤🔥🍿 do it.
Raiden was right. There are fates worse than death. Becoming a Kameo with a clean new design.
