Boss Situation

All bosses will/should be playable. Computer controlled bosses will of course deal more and take less damage (ala Seth from SSF4).

If your character is fighting for Earthrealm then you will randomly have to fight one of the following:

Option 1:
Shinnok (Boss)
Quan Chi (Sub-Boss)

Option 2:
Shao Kahn (Boss)
Shang Tsung (Sub-Boss)

If your character is fighting for Netherrealm then you will randomly have to fight one of the following:

Option 1:
Raiden(Boss)
Liu Kang (Sub-Boss)

Option 2:
Shao Kahn (Boss)
Shang Tsung (Sub-Boss)

If your character is fighting for Outworld then you will randomly have to fight one of the following:

Option 1:
Raiden(Boss)
Liu Kang (Sub-Boss)

Option 2:
Shinnok (Boss)
Quan Chi (Sub-Boss)

I like your idea very much Jion, but you need to add the 2 shokan sub bosses somewhere and it would be perfect!
I disagree about the Bosses being playable (At least kahn, goro & kintaro shouldn't be). Shao Kahn lost all his charisma when he went selectable, the same applies for Goro & kintaro.

Is a cool idea, the play with the "goods" and "bad" idea, but i personally preffer keep the boss, the real Final Big Boss under key, i mean NOT playable.
Making a Boss a "playable character" this becomes to a simple mortal.

Now, for this new MK, i would preffer to put Shao Kanh for final boss, and the strange BIG monster behind ShaoKanh´s arena like the SubBoss.

I like the idea that was stated before (I think it was ShawnBronald), about the bosses being playable locally, but not online.

Cool! Thanks for the feedback!

I think ALL characters should be playable. But for Kahn, Goro, Kintaro, Motaro... they should be like, characters you have to work your ass off to unlock. Because I do agree that Kahn lost some of his oomph when he became selectable. But at the same time I hate not being able to play whomever I wish.

its kool although not all bosses should be playable

Thats exactly how I feel about this.
I can't stand it when fighting games have fully developed unplayable fighters

I think all bosses except Shang Tsung should be unplayable in Online and Arcade Mode. Online because of the fact that all the weak guys would stress you out with choosing a boss. They should do it like in MK3. There is a cheat where you enable Motaro or Shao Kahn and play VS battles against somebody. A cheat would be not as good as an achievement in game. For example something very difficult where you have to work hard to become the chance to play with a boss. A winning streak or a secret... I am certain that they will make it well but please no boss in "choose your fighter"
