Mortal Kombat 11 General Discussion Media Thread

Yeah, I grew up with MK so obviously the original 3 games are special. And I hate to use this stupid slogan, but...It's 2k18 (soon 2k19)! IMO the classic MK characters should be added as DLC or turned into NPCs. Besides, it's not like they're just going to get rid of all the classic characters either on the initial roster. I just don't give a shit about Noob-Saibot, Smoke, or the rest of the clones.

Kotal Kahn towers them all! :lol:

The original 3 games are also special to me, but yeah, I don't mind some of these characters -like Ermac- being DLC. I also don't think they're just going to get rid of them all, either, but swapping out ones missing from MKX with ones that died in MKX are also fine with me.


I totally forgot that Ermac was in the dlc list. He's definitely worth paying for, but the others will cause a ton of backlash imo

Dunno, but out of all of those I thought that Ermac not being on the main roster would cause the most backlash from people who want the klassic / legacy characters on the main roster.
If this leak is correct, (to me) it seems that for MK11:
-Nightwolf = Triborg (as the MK3 DLC character)
-Li Mei = Bo Rai Cho (as the 3D era DLC character)
-Nimbus = Skarlet / Tremor (as the rumored / glitch / previously unplayable DLC character).

Jade and Kronika will most likely be my mains for various reasons! For this game, Sonya should just be NPC and give her movesets to Cassie. Have Tanya take her spot. Nitara should replace Frost. Bo Rai Cho is better off replaced by Kai or Taven. The rumored new characters look very interesting, especially Kronika! I'd love to know what's in store for this game. :)

Johnny should also be an NPC and also have some attributed moves going to Cassie, imo.

I'm glad D'Vorah is out if it is true. I'd rather have Sheeva over her. I'm curious about Reina too. I'm hoping Sareena will make it as well.

I'd rather have D'Vorah over Sheeva, and Goro is the playable Shokan that people have wanted in since MK3.
Sheeva in MK3 was just Midway's way of saying "here's your playable Shokan," but now that Goro is in (if this is true) there's no need to ever bring Sheeva back, especially since Goro can be equated to Bane from the Injustice series as a big / brawler type of character.
 
Not gonna get my hopes up, but if that Character List turns out to be true, I'd be completely satisfied with it. As for everything else, just gonna wait til the official reveal in January. So damn happy that the game comes out in just over 4 months though, I think this was a better decision from NRS to have a relatively late reveal.
 
Revealing MK11 at the VGAs was one of the best decisions NRS made Considering E3 has been going down the toilet year after year since most developers are either announcing games before or after E3. This makes me believe that the next Gen consoles are going to be announced at the next VGAs.

As for D’Voarh. NRS struck gold with this character considering her ladder ending and role in the MKX story shows her true motives.
 
D'Vorah had such a horrible heel turn tho. Her working for Quan Chi out of nowhere was such a terrible twist. For a second it looked like it was going to be explained in the comic where she gets killed, I was thinking Quan Chi would revive her or something. But nah, she brought her self back to life and went on as normal.
 
The character list is good IMO, this roster is basically MKX+new characters tho. While I would be pleased, it seems to menot much of an improvement, despite the quantity, but I do believe they will expand MKX's story to its consequences.

The story, if it is true, seems interesting. I would like that other major stories are not subtracted tho. I mean, we got Noob and Smoke there, Kenshi/Takeda and Daegon, Liu Kang/Kitana and Raiden, maybe Raiden and everybody. Kano's son, but not him? I hope it's not a Jarek copycat, if it's the truth.

Kronika is an obvious reference and could only be the lady at the end, and if she is (real and) the boss, plus Raiden being sub-boss, I'm absolutely game. Now, what several endings did she appear? Some people relate her into the shimmering lady, but discarding an obvious difference in appearance, that's it, can't remember any other endings that mentioned anything like that.

Also, the voicing thing. I noticed from the beginning of the trailer that Raiden is still voiced by Epcar, though Scorpion is not voiced by Seitz. But Kevin F*** Conroy? He is awesome and all, but it's true unless Epcar's voice was used in the trailer and Seitz's wasn't. It's strange that Scorpion could be voiced like Batman, who knows.

The xray part is clever, though it could be faked. Still, could be true, the trailer does not show any kind of xray, unlike MKX's trailer.

Tag team and Noob Saibot AND Smoke. Ah, memories.

About the concepts, they are proposals. They are not definitive. That Jade concept has a source, but as I said, it's a proposal. With all duerespect to the artist, but I don't think he got absolutely nothing about Jade, except green clothes. Unless NRS wants to bullshit her into something different.

The other three, seriously, Drahmin could be a nice alternate, but Quan Chi looks very fake and Fujin...
 
I would hate if Johnny Cage and Ermac were DLC for MK11. It seems like a bad idea to have characters from the main roster from MKX to be DLC.
 
Do we really need to have Goro in 3 MK games in a row? I think he should sit this one out.

I agree.
That said, if there’s a playable Shokan it’ll likely be him and since people really hated on Ferra / Torr, now there’s not really a brawler character.

I would hate if Johnny Cage and Ermac were DLC for MK11. It seems like a bad idea to have characters from the main roster from MKX to be DLC.

Sektor, Cyrax and Cyber Sub-Zero were MK9 main roster characters and also became DLC, though.

Johnny Cage will never be DLC.

Why not?
If Sonya and Kano were missing from MKII and people didn’t really complain about Johnny missing in MK3, either, I don’t see the harm in him sitting out 1 game or being DLC to free up a main roster spot, especially now that there’s Cassie.
Plus, it’s kind of a running joke (in MK3, MKvsDC and other games) that Johnny “dies” or has a tombstone in the background and then comes mysteriously back to life or appears in another game.
 
Goro is unique enough that I'd welcome him as a staple character. I've always preferred Kintaro over him, but a Shokan badass is a Shokan badass

I wouldn't mind actually whether he's in or not. We need an intimidating brute character. If Goro's not in, we need Onaga. One or the other would be nice in the roster.
 
A fighting game should have at least two brawler style type characters on the main roster. Injustice 2 only had Bane that fit the criteria since Doomsday and Grundy weren’t on the roster unless someone else in I2 was considered a brawler.

This is why I've wanted Ferra / Torr to make a return for MK11, as well.
Torr also fits the criteria of brawler style.
 
Ferra/Torr was so fun to play in MKX especially the brawler Variation.

Viscious, yeah, that was a fun variation.
I thought that Lackey was also pretty fun.
Didn't main Ferra/Torr, but I thought it was a neat idea for a playable character.
 
We already had Goro's and Kintaro's...

Bring back a Centaur like Motaro. Now THAT would be badass. And none of that bipedal shit like in MK:A. Technology is so far ahead now that there is no more excuse from a technical side for them not to do this.
