Descendants

There's been a lot of talk about "descendants" in Mortal Kombat X...But the only one we've seen so far is Cassie Cage.
When NRS talks about descendants they seem to talk about it like we may get at least 3 or 4.

So what characters do you think are most likely to have a relative on the roster?
I'm pretty sure they never said it has to be a characters son/daughter, so brothers/sisters/cousins could also happen..

My picks would have to be..

-Daughter/Son of Mileena and Baraka
-Son of Goro (fast/nimble Shokan)
-Female Liu Kang/Kung Lao descendant
-Reptile descendant
-Motaro descendant (sub boss)

Any other ideas?
 
I think MKX Sub-Zero could be a descendant (nephew) or relative (cousin), if it's not Bi-Han or Kuai-Liang.
The ones who have had that power (ice) have thus far only been through the Cryomancer race.
I believe that Bi-Han was the 5th Sub-Zero and Kuai-Liang was the 6th Sub-Zero.
 
Kobra/Kira descendant wit original, non-generic moves
Ashrah's unnamed sister
A replacement for one of the Gods from MKMSZ (A guy/girl's first day on the job)
Shang Tsung's Brother?
Lui Kang's Brother?
 
Descendants.. hmmm who else has had sex between MK9 and MKX?
I think there will be at least 3 or 4 and maybe even some that aren't playable if NRS does things right and has a lot more npc's in story mode...

- A new Sub zero is a safe bet.
- A relative shaolin...
- A new Shokan warrior.
- Oops i forgot Cassie :/
I would Jizz my freaking pants if there was a Motaro descendant....
 
The descendant idea is an interesting one, because it takes advantage of the 25-year time span. However, I find the concept to be a somewhat lazy way to create new characters, especially if they're heavily-inspired by the relative we already know and love. At that point, why not just go with the original and further their story? So I hope Cassie is the exception, and that the rest of the descendants have their own unique identity.

Agreed with this.

Personally, I don't see how Cassie doesn't have her own identity.
She plays more like Stryker in her "Spec Ops" variation (thus why I refer to her as Stryker Jr. :laugh:) with guns, missiles and a baton stick, she doesn't have any of Johnny's moves in her "Hollywood" variation (that I have seen thus far, could be wrong on that) and her "Brawler" style is her own.
Inspired doesn't mean unoriginal, IMO.
As long as Cassie doesn't have Green Energy Balls, Shadow Kick, Rising Uppercut, Upward Bicycle Kicks, Ring Blasts, Sonya's Kiss move or her Sonya's Leg Grab, she seems original enough, to me.

I can't shake the feeling that she's the daughter of Johnny and Sonya, and nothing more. She borrows a lot of elements from them (Johnny's personality, Sonya's military background, nut punches, aerobics), and that's fine, but I hope they don't go with that approach for too many of the descendants. Like I said, I hope Cassie is the exception. What I would prefer for most of these descendants:

Let's say Kung Lao's cousin is in this game. They can have him be inspired by Kung Lao by giving him some sort of projectile hat, or they can give him his own completely unique abilities and he just happens to be Kung's cousin. I prefer the latter approach, because he would feel more like his own character instead of a spin-off (pun not intended).

Of course, I don't know Cassie's story or full gameplay capability, so this is premature of me, but that's just how I feel right now.
 
FACT: Nobody ever cried foul over Jin Kazama having moves from Kazuya and Jun when he debuted in Tekken 3.

That's what I kind of thought Kotal Kahn was.

Nightwolf is an Apache and Kotal Kahn seems to be Aztec.
Those 2 tribes seemed to be not to far from each other, back in the day (Apaches in the Southwest United States, Aztecs in Mexico).

Kotal (IMO) seems to be filling the Nightwolf (Native tribesman) role for MKX.

LMAO! I think that Cassie is enough, i'm not saying she is a bad character, that idea was cool, but one is enough. I don't wanna have a game full of Kitana, Liu Kang, Kung Lao or any other character descendants! I know Kitana, Sindel and Ermac are related but doesn't share anything close, but the Cassie idea wasn't like that, and it concerns me if they will add more descendants like Cassie, who borrows a lot from Sonya and Johnny.

I personally think one of the boots from that little teaser we got may be related to Jax.

You can see they have the same color (silver-like toes and heels), they both have the same laces, they both have that "fat" look to them, and the pants are very similar..
And we all know that Jax is NOT going to return..

Aside from the 1 Johnny Cage X-Ray nut punch, I don't know what this "a lot" is that you speak of.

True, but people (myself included) also thought that that Baraka was the first boot, and it turned out to be Quan Chi.

Due to Kitana's own genetics, said game would have to take place at least 500 years after said child is born...at least by my rough estimate.
