Mortal Kombat 11 General Discussion Media Thread

Ed said that NRS really listens to fan demands. I feel like Fujin, Noob, and Reiko have to make it in this time given how many people wanted them in MKX.

Kinda felt like he was addressing the people that were constantly spamming "KP3" with characters like Baraka(already in), Sindel, Rain, Noob Saibot, Jade and Kabal (already in) more than anything.
At this point it feels like he was talking more about those klassics over Fujin.
I'd be surprised if he even shows up as DLC.
 
Has anyone talked about the "Mortal, Mythic, Elder" tags with different colored stripes corresponding to the title under the various options in customization? They appear to be denoting levels of "loot" like in any other RPG, or loot based game. I just don't know if anyone noticed or if it'd been mentioned, but assuming that's the case, I'd imagine the skins/items/colors people want will be tougher to get, and hopefully not microtransaction. Here's a video of customization for each revealed character, in case anyone hadn't seen it.

Hmmmmmm

Won't raise my hopes for an easter egg, but...
 
Kano still seems like the same ‘ole punching bag henchman that he always was.
No matter how he played in MKX, his story has always been the same: to be a runner for the next boss in the game.
I wouldn’t be surprised if he was a henchman again, but this time for Kronika or Geras.

I mean, you're not wrong, but the thing is that if being a storymode henchman makes a character not worth bringing back, then we might as well write off... let's see... Reptile, Baraka, Sheeva, Ermac, Goro, Kintaro, Sindel, Noob, Rain, Tanya, Erron Black, Ferra/Torr?

Should we write them all off forever because 99% of their function is to job? I prefer to keep my fingers crossed that NRS will find a way to make them more relevant than they were in the past. Look at Mileena, she was a jobber for the longest time until Armageddon, then went back to jobber status for MK9 and got elevated from it in a big way for MKX.

Tanya, Erron Black and Ferra/Torr were just re-introduced / introduced in MKX, but YES, the other 13 characters you listed I'd be 100% fine with if they skipped a game.
With regards to Kitana, Kung Lao and Liu Kang I was specifically vocal during the time of MKX about how stupid it was that they were playable, considering that they had little to no importance in the MKX story, and people got pissed at me and a few others who shared the same view, and said people started name-calling.
I also never said or implied "write them all forever."
Those are YOUR words, not mine, so please do me a favor and don't twist it around.
I just think that it would be nice if some of the characters who've been around for 27 years could take a bit of a break (not dead, either), to let some other ones who haven't gotten that same chance the ability to shine.

With a main roster total of 25 characters in MK11 and TONS of people constantly asking for the same 27 Trilogy characters, how do we ever expect any of these other characters to ever get a chance to shine if nobody is willing to give them a chance???
 
Ed said that there will be a surprise recognizable looking face in MK11. I bet it will be another MK1-3 character like Shang Tsung or it could be Kabal in the upcoming week.
 
MK fans are trash. Only series that could give it's players MORE options and have them complain. I'm looking forward to teabagging all of you with hot pink Noob Saibot

Agreed.
The same toxic fanbase that asks for "new" stuff, yet constantly request the same repetitive shit and resorts to name-calling with those who don't agree with them.
(Not talking about you, but just in general.)

I also recall you being upset and complaining that Baraka wasn't in MKX, so........

How can you really accept pink noob saibot. Change isn't always good. People becoming way go spoiled and want to change everything these days

That's fair enough, sorry for misunderstanding you.

Nobody in the world thinks that Nightwolf, Stryker, Baraka, Sheeva, Sindel, Chameleon, Khameleon, Goro, Kintaro, Motaro, and Shao Kahn are essential MK characters without which an MK game just isn't an MK game. And while some people do think that Kabal/Noob/Jade are essential, it's pretty clear that NRS disagrees and are just fine having anywhere between 0-3 of them in a game.

So "the same 27 Trilogy characters" is quite a bit of an exaggeration.

Also keep in mind that we're only talking about the launch roster here. There will be at least two kombat packs with 6 characters each. Even if just 6 of those are MK characters, we're already looking at a cast of 32 MK fighters.

That still leaves about 16 spots for MK4 through MKX, and brand new characters. That's... a LOT. I think 16/16 is a perfectly reasonable breakdown for the final roster.

ALSO keep in mind that it's possible to shine through gameplay OR story. Fujin made lots of fans in MKX despite being unplayable. Tremor made lots of fans in MKX despite not being in the story. I think newer characters will have plenty of opportunities to make their mark, one way or the other, or both.
 
I've seen a lot of people say that the game looks like Injustice, but nobody says how it looks like Injustice, other than by it having bomb ass graphics
 
In most of those conversations Raiden doesn't seem to be a very evil guy.

Well we already know that Raiden isn't the final boss. So that leaves plenty of room for him to either be a true anti-hero, or an anti-villain who finds redemption before MK11's story is over.

But also keep in mind that in MKX pre-fight dialogue, Liu Kang, Kung Lao, and Kitana all sound like they either never died or came back to life, and we all know how that turned out. So this could be 100% bullshit and Raiden could be a total asshole for the entire game.
 
I'd laugh my head off if he was to be confirmed. You'd probably go postal.

As for Pink, Green or whatever color Sub-Zero or any other characters. I don't really care. As long as I get a choice to change to original color on all of the clothing pieces, I am fine with that. I will just make sure to body anyone who will make their Scorpion white, or Sub Zero Pink. I think it will be a great motvator for me to improve my skills.
