It probably would be better if they never created Rain in the first place, or just left him as a joke character
Originality: Good.
More Ninjas: Bad.

If you want more ninjas then then they should just bring back Rain or make Tremor a character of the main series. I'd rather have more shaolin characters or gods.

For a new ninja, it'd be cool if it was a ninja from the Shirai Ryu who was able to escape from Quan Chi when his clan was attacked. Obviously wanting to avenge his clan's death like Scorpion, he enters the Mortal Kombat tournament for a chance to get his revenge on Quan Chi. After defeating a few of the kombatants, his next challenger is Scorpion. Scorpion recognises his clan mate and refuses to fight. After learning the truth from the ninja, Scorpion and his friend pursue Quan Chi, etc.

He could be an orange ninja, and we could say that the Shirai Ryu's trademark colour was orange. He could have a sword similar to Scorpion, and projectiles like Shurikens. I'm not sure what special powers he'd have, but probably something like wind.

Thats pretty cool and a good back story included, and wind powers are a good idea.

Yeah, that's rather uncool and immature...

I posted something similar to this earlier in the thread. There's a handful of major characters from the Lin Kuei, but Scorpion's the only Shirai Ryu we see.
 
Yeah, it could also be a good way to clear up what actually happened in that event, seeing as it happened before MK. Scorpion would also learn that Bi Han wasn't the killer.

Yeah, I like Quan Chi but it's time for him to get his dues. It would also let Scorpion begin to work under his own will rather than following Quan Chi blindly.

And this new shirai ryu guy could tell a detailed story of the extermination events, as he saw them while he was scaping.
 
Eh, we don't need ninjas of every color of the rainbow. I forgive the MK team in the earlier games when they limited time and budget, but enough is enough.

Not quite. Sogetsu from Samurai Shodown comes to mind. However, the water control archetype outside of licensed games are pretty uncommon compared to say fire.

Ya know, alot of people claimed shotoclones were too common. But everyone uses them. Speaking for story mode purposes if a character comes from a freaking clan then it doesn't make sense to have only one person show up. That's why you see so many Lin Quei members in the game.

With Scorpion it makes sense, his clan is wiped out. Though with them being a ninja clan I find it hard to believe that not a single one would have escaped a raid on a village. Even if it was out of cowardice, someone could have escaped.

Was thinking for Arachno he'd be a traitor of the Shirai Ryu that helped organize the attack on his own clan with Quan Chi. Based on Scorpion's ending the spirits of those lost would reveal the traitor to Scorpion, thus he's on a mission to make the traitor pay. I actually hate Scorpion, but this gives him another nemesis that actually deserves to die. Rather than hunting a Sub Zero every game.
 
lol Scorpion and Arachno, then Praying Mantis xD Shirai Ryu likes insect names.

Anyway i like the arachno idea... its like a ninja spiderman :P kinda cool but hard to see they could make it
 
Speaking of names, what the hell is a Cyrax? Sub Zero's name makes sense. Tundra makes sense. Smoke as well. At least Sektor means something, even if it is spelled wrong.

I could be wrong but I think the word 'cyrax' in Nigerian means 'unstoppable'.

Don't quote me on it, though, just something I read before.
 
Want a new ninja? Someone who used to be in the Shirai Ryu. Also, maybe Scorpion's wife, whose soul was maybe taken by some sorcerer or an elder god and transformed into a top-notch warrior?

Scorpion meets his wife and she is totally different, she hates him, and is arrogant and everything. Scorpion is at odds because he spent all this time trying to exact revenge for his family, and she won't take him back (rather, she wants to kill him). This makes Scorpion really reconsider. Imagine.... "Baby, don't you remember me?" "You are pathetic, and weak!" "NOOO!!

Fatality 1: Creates a pulsating orb he plunges into opponents mouth. After a few seconds the opponents' stomach explodes with spiders crawling out, devourning the character until they're a bloody skeleton on the floor.

Fatality 2: Web grips the opponent's legs, lifting them upside down. Arachno pushes them once causing them to swing, then again making them swing further. Once they've come back he punches their head clean off, causing the still lifeless body to sling blood continuously as it swings back and forth. This would go on until the next match like Quan Chi's fatality.

Those are AWESOME!

Doesnt seem to be an african word, i think "Cy" comes from Cyber or Cybernetic but i dont know where the "rax" comes from.

What does sektor means?? is from sector, like zone or region?
 
Well, yeah I always assumed Sektor was a play on the word sector. And thanks 40, I think it'd be awesome to see those with this game engine. Also a shokan ninja would be epic, or even a Tarkatan ninja that played more like Ibuki from Street Fighter.
