Roster Speculation

Lord Greyjoy said:
We have a decent idea, to be fair. It seems to be centered on these three events, based on the idea of how the roster looks:
-Netherrealm War / Shinnok invading Earthrealm and Outworld
-Outworld Civil War / Kotal's rule
-A new unforseen threat emerging (presumably it will be dealt with by the descendants)

Havik can definitely participate as an agent of chaos, but the Chaosrealm won't have such a major role in the proceedings if it's just him.

how do i feel ermac the connection to this unforseen threat?

And that's fine, I don't need the WHOLE ChaosRealm present.
Besides, didn't the NetherRealm guys say that every so often the factions can be invaded by other realms?
Why can't ChaosRealm be 1 of those invading realms?
 
If they can fit Quan Chi into the MK1-MK3 story line then Havik can work just fine in MKX. Maybe he can appear in the Outworld Civil War. Havik supported Shao Kahn and wanted to bring him back to life (who later found out to be alive) to support choas through the realms. What if Havik works with Kotal Kahn in the Outworld Civil War to help create chaos in Outworld and Earthrealm?

Kotal Kahn asked alliance for Earthrealm to end Mileena's reign. Most likely Havik would side Mileena.

Are you certain Havik would exclusively side with Mileena? Havik's actions make sense to absolutely nobody but Havik himself. I KNOW he'll aid Earthrealm and Kotal behind her back, not even caring if he gets caught anyway, just so he can spread more Chaos.

No, I'm not certain, you do have a good point.

But Kotal mentioned he wants to strike opposition (aka Mileena).

If his nature is of being a leader, and not a conqueror, Havik would prefer conquerors, who would support chaos.

Though Mileena is a dumb nothing, she would cause more damage than order.
 
Now that I think on Fujin some more... if anything, this increases his chances. NRS loves to re-use assets.

I was thinking about it the wrong way.

Maybe not exclusively, but he'd definitely favor Mileena's unstable reign over Kotal's firm leadership. But, yeah, he'd still sabotage her plans because he can't help himself.

Havik is such a fun character. I hope NRS sees that.

I don't remember MK Deception's storyline very clearly, but didn't Havik, like, totally opposed Onaga because that meant not as much chaos as if Onaga wasn't ruler and Shao Kahn was on power? So it seems that yes, he's able to side with one if that means the chaos won't end.

Then again... Havik.

Can you pick two moves in MKX that look so much alike that they probably reused some assets?

Sub-Zero's Ice Slide and Reptile's slide, as well as all the characters that use fireballs.
People always like to debate me using those examples and like to throw that shit in my face, so I'm throwing that back out there.






Side note:

I don't see why MKX can't have 32 - 34 characters total (after DLC).
This was a mock-up done by 1 of the TRMK members, [MENTION=2298]Immortal Reaver[/MENTION]

This mock-up / Photoshop select screen version below has 36 slots.
(I think that MKX will have 32 - 34 characters after DLC, so remove 1 or 2 tiles from each side on the bottom row).
My point, though, is that by shrinking the tiles a bit and moving the Scorpion and D'Vorah models up a bit, NRS can easily accommodate the roster for the DLC characters without having to do an MK9 type of side bar, and just keeping everything on the same screen.
Also, the character select animations wouldn't be blocked by the select screen tiles.

You're right, both Reptile's and Subbie's slides are very alike in animation. However, I did not say that there weren't, I asked him to come with an example. I am not throwing shit in anyone's face here.

Though the fireball thing... A fireball is not just a fireball. The way Reptile hurls his Acid Ball and the way Sub-Zero hurls his Ice Blast are two different animations, so those aren't reused assets.

I never said you, in specific.

The acid ball is more akin to Kung Laos Hat trick hat....or was it buzzsaw....either way the one that moves the same way as the acid ball.
