back in the old school days when secret characters were always talked about in the arcades, there was a rumor about a kickboxer character named nimbus terrafaux. The rumor was first started by a magazine and ended up just being a hoax. Still, if they introduced him as a hidden character after all these years that would be so cool.

I really love that idea. I dont want the secret character to be playable though, until maybe the next game. I just want to be able to fight him/her. I rather it be a character that makes sense though, either they create a new character that really makes sense and fits into the story or, they introduce an existing character(post mk 3 like Daegon- or based on the mythos(Tremor) that fits. I really think Daegon is fitting because he started the Red Dragon Clan.

Fixed.
10 char limit.
 
Definitely. Secret characters are the amazeballs. And they've got to be new ones, too. I don't want to see Sareena leap across the screen saying "dnif em ni eht hsart nac!"

Just as annoying as poorly written posts.
 
I love the idea of returning to old school unlockables. As few members posted, that character shouldn't be playable yet, maybe later. I am not sure if NR will create a completly new fighter or just add an old one (quan chi for example).
 
All characters, secret or boss better be playable.

I bet Skarlett willbe a secret character, but I hope for Blaze, Hornbuckle, Quan Chi, Chameleon and Khameleon to be hidden.

Also, Human Sektor.

Skarlett and Hornbuckle? You must be kidding.
Also, I hope boss characters won't be easily accessible for anyone who is so willing to play as them. As for hidden characters, I'd prefer them to be non-playable just like in the classics.

I'm confident we'll at least see Skarlett . ;)

Bosses and secret characters should be unlockable. I think we're passed the point on having fightable, but non-playable characters.
 
I'd like to see Tremor as a secret character and have his story elaborated on, not that he deserves to be a full character, but he did exist, at least his bio in UMK
Also Human Sector or Cyrax, since I am curious about their pre-automation story.
 
i see this as the only fair way to introduce new charactors in MK9 without upsetting the retro fans, its true to the MK roots and it also opens a few doors for new fighters in a sequal game. im pretty sure they will be doing this in the game, Ed loves his secrets and he will be wanting the reptile secret to look like breeze in comparisment to what could be done now!

bring on the secrets!

I think retro fans wouldn't be so upset if all the post UMK3 characters weren't so damn awful
 
I think it should only be done with 4 characters.
Any more than that would just be frustrating.

The 4 characters should be:
- Reptile (MK 1 - Pit challenge)
- Noob Saibot (MK II - 50 versus matches)
- Jade (MK II - defeat your opponents before the "?" match with only low kicks)
- Smoke (MK II - Press down and start, the minute Dan Forden says "Toasty")


Anyways, it doesn't have to be those characters in specific, but it would be cool to see some of those secrets return in MK 9.
I know that some people will flame me for this, but I thought that it would be a good way to bring some of the MK I and MK II feel into MK 9.
