Ideas for MK11

the whole middle row should be left out and at least 3 of them on the bottom row shouldn't be in. plus please no mavado. there should be like 10 new characters.
 
I'm pretty sure Mavado is not coming back. He was killed off by Cassie in the MKX comic and he is unpopular with the MK fandom. I think dead unpopular characters like Hsu Hao, Mavado and Motaro are not coming back ever again.
 
Hsu Hao isn't unpopular lol. Boon just doesn't like him. Him, Mavado, Sareena, and all those 3d era characters have a HUGE fanbase on Twitter, believe it or not.

With that said, they're still probably never coming back.
 
What I would like to see in the Future of MK Games

1. Longer Story Mode
2. DLC Chapters. (Characters that didn't have a chapter get one so blanks can be filled in)
3. Have Hero/Villains fight Underlings/Henchmen. (Let the Monks, Lin Kuei, Black Dragon, Red Dragon etc fight.)
 
People dislike Hsu Hao since day one. I remember the MK message boards back in 2002 had a lot of bad feedback on Hsu Hao. His gameplay sucks and his design is goofy as hell. He looks like a rejected G.I Joe villain in my opinion.
He looks like someone who flunked audition for the Village People.

Indeed. Certainly one of the more reviled characters, and representative of the bad rep the 3D era characters have in general. There are very few post-MK4 characters worth bringing back.
 
My ideal MK11 roster is as follows (you may not agree with it, but it's what I'D like to see).

It's a mixed bag of what I want and what I think will be the roster, due to either fan complaints if certain characters aren't in or because they are established in MKX as being obvious for the next game:

1. Scorpion - fan favorite, people will cry otherwise
2. Sub-Zero - fan favorite, people will cry otherwise
3. Raiden - Dark Raiden at the end of MKX hints at him being back for MK11.
4. Liu Kang - I don't care whether he's in or not, but it seems that he and Kitana will be the new NetherRealm threat.
5. Kano's son - Would be a nice replacement for Kano (IMO), at least for a few games. Kano doesn't have to die necessarily, but it would be nice for the next generation to take over.
6. Cassie - Johnny and Sonya can be cameo characters (like Li Mei, Fujin and Bo Rai Cho were in MKX) for the next game.
Again, Sonya and Johnny don't need to be dead, per se, but I'd like to see them sit out for a bit, maybe as cameos.

^^That pretty much covers MK1 and their descendants, for me.


7. Reptile - Usually doesn't miss MK games, and he's another character that people would cry loudly for, if he isn't in.
8. Kitana - Same reason as for Liu Kang
9. Kung Lao - I don't care for him, but people will whine if he's not in, so he'll most likely be there.
10. Jacqui - Can take the "Jax" role for a few games, with her own moves, so that she and the other new-gen characters can shine for a bit
11. Takeda - Would be nice to see him return to MK11.
12. Kenshi - I doubt that Boon will get rid of his 2nd favorite any time soon.
13. Kung Jin - Again, if it wasn't for people complaining about Kung Lao not being in, it would be nice to see Kung Jin take his place for a few games.
14. Kotal Kahn - Would love to see him return
15. D'Vorah - Great villain, IMO, and I'd love to see her in the next game.
16. Erron Black - Great character, but I feel that he lacked story and hope that they can further expand on him in the next game
17. Fujin - Fujin is LONG overdue in a current-gen MK game.
18. Reiko - Same as Fujin
19. Havik - Same as Fujin
20. Shang Tsung - Shang Tsung being a villain on his own and not being someone else's puppet would be nice, for once.
21. ???
22. ???
23. ???
24. ???
25. NEW
26. NEW
27. NEW
28. NEW

* Sadly, I don't think that enough people like Ferra / Torr to see them return.
I'd like to see them return and I think that their story and lore could further be expanded upon, but I don't get that feeling from people, in general.

** I left the 4 ??? spaces for interchangeable characters like Smoke, Kabal, Noob and either Cyrax or Sektor, which people will want back in the next game.

How about the Tarkata, now both Baraka and Mileena are dead (well Mileena might be revived)? Are they just kept out of MK11 or will there be a new Tarkata character?

Stick a fork in the Tarkatan species. They're doomed for extinction without their leaders.

Instead of trying to figure out who I'd want to see return or not, I'd like to see improvements of the characters themselves.

Example: Reptile.


Both games, he did nothing. You take him out, he'd have no effect to the story. Just like if you took out Indiana Jones in the first movie. His removal wouldn't have prevented or change the outcome of anything. The Nazis would have still found the tomb and all would have died anyways. That's virtually Reptile, and as a fan favorite, you'd think they'd give him better treatment, but unfortunately no they don't.

And I know it's Sub-Zero and Scorpion, but I too would not like to see either of these characters fall in the same direction. Two big fan favorites who kinda don't have a purpose anymore to be in this series. Both made amends, Scorpion got what he wanted, Sub-Zero is kinda there to be as a mentor in a way.

If we have these guys come back, I really don't want them to be seen as just throw-in characters. Sheeva has been one, Ermac was... I'd like for all characters to have a good role in the story. I know it's a lot to work with, but if you have a big roster, I expect to see characters all have a good enough role in it.
 
MK11 should have more mk4-mk5-mk6 returning characters.

30% classic characters (mk1-mk3)
30% mk4-mk5-mk6 characters
40% mkx newcomers and Brand new characters

Give half of the percentage of MKX + new characters, add that percentage to the Klassic characters, and you'll have the perfect roster.

As long as the following are present, I'm solved...

- Tanya
- Li Mei
- Sareena
- Kitana
- Nitara
- Jade (It'd be awesome if she was a secret boss and a hidden character possessed as the woman in her MK9 ending.)

How the boss system should be...

Final Boss: Liu Kang (Round 1 should be his Dark Emperor outfit. Round 2 should be his dragon form.)
Sub-Boss: Kitana (Dark Empress)
Secret Boss 1: Jade
Secret Boss 2. Onaga

* Jade's first appearance in a trailer and story for her return should start off with the camera focusing on her high heels. ;)
