no non mk characters. ok it was cool to see kratos and alright to see freddy but now give us at least a game or 2 without guest characters.
I feel the opposite, by that I mean Freddy was okay as a guest but I didn't like Kratos at all
they should have had a story part with them in the game and not just being there for no reason. it just made both of their appearance seem more pointless.
oh and NRS please don't give Quan Chi "mind control" in his moves or his x-ray. Its okay in the story but it doesnt make sense for him to do that to living people. instead give him a move where green skulls pull you toward him. and i want quan to do his bone breaker like in mk4 for part of his x-ray.

Read their biosthey should have had a story part with them in the game and not just being there for no reason. it just made both of their appearance seem more pointless.
Well how would it not make sense to use mind control on living people? He's a sorcerer that uses unknown magic to control people. If he didn't do that then he'd be no different then Sang Tsung. He is suppose to be a manipulator so having him do that in a fight only makes sense.
A better question would be why you're trying to apply conventional logic to a series where tournaments decide the fate of a world
You misunderstand. I used "tournaments decide the fate of a world" as a way to show how unusual I considered it that you were intending to make sense out of something like Quan Chi not deciding to slay everyone in a gaming series like Mortal Kombat. I never said that tournaments or tournament rules are the reason why, as you put it, "Quan Chi doesn't just kill everyone".
Also, the reasons why only Sindel went is because of a couple of things:
1. I'm certain that the rest all had other things to do at the time that were essential to their plans of conquering Earthrealm.
2. Sindel and the Lin Kuei were more than powerful enough to handle the heroes on their own, so there was no need to send extra forces out unless Sindel and the others had somehow failed. I personally would consider it pretty clumsy of Shao Kahn to put himself out in the open anyway where multiple people on the opposing side could try to ambush and kill him, especially when that energy used for taking the heroes head on could be better spent on ensuring that his plans for Earthrealm come to fruition. Shao Kahn might be arrogant, but he isn't stupid
Cage, Sonya, Liu and Raiden might have survived but the Outworld forces probably would have figured it was too late for them to really make a difference since there were only those few fighters left
