Official DLC Ideas Discussion ~ Stages, Costumes, Characters, -alities, etc.
- Thread starter SMOKE_
- Start date
Bad business ethics? You may be on to something there. And whether or not its been done before I honestly have no clue. But I think that the majority of us die-hard MK fans would pick up anything we get for DLC. I have never once purchased any add-on content for a game. But I'm prepared to get ANYTHING they give us for MK.!

Re: fresh new characters please
I guess i didn't word it good enough. I mean the more characters you add to a game the harder it is to balance. I guess if you're removing and adding just as many. Then it's all fair and even as long as you are ok with starting fresh. It's just making 1 character an even match up against the ENTIRE cast for EACH character (that you add as DLC) w/o messing up balance can get extremely difficult

Re: fresh new characters please
Here's a few ideas for new characters:
A female Shirai-Ryu Ninja(Scorpion's clan) named "Okoi" (Or "Taka", Can't decide)who was out on an assignment when her clan was killed-off. Her weapons would include Shurikens, & Kusarigama. The shurikens used as projectiles, & the kusarigama used as part of "Kombos" & the weighted end used to stun opponents. One of her fatalities includes choking the opponent with the Kusarigama's chain until the head comes off.
An agent named "Kestrel" who is heavily trained in Krav Maga, & Russian Sambo and can reverse enemy attacks(Like Dragunov from Tekken6) & combo throws(Like Jax). He also uses a sniper rifle, cammand throw, & a special dash that can be used to avoid projectiles(EX version adds a stunning attack to the dash).
Too tired right now to come up with more details for these two characters, feel free to comment & add to these two. :goodnight:

Re: fresh new characters please
I don't see how any of that has got anything to do with the point you're responding to, but I just thought I'd point out that Jade threw Tarkatan essence on Tanya to make the other Tarkata think she was another male, so they ripped her apart for fear of competition. There was no rape. Mortal Kombat isn't a rape game. Go and watch Jade's Deception ending and check, it's written in words and everything.
wut? Then how was Jade able to "spill" Tarkatan essence on Tanya to make her desired by tarkatan. (Basically her getting raped literally by blade weidling dudes.) if they are one in the same. That doesn't add up, show me proof please

But he infact ment they merged playing styles.
You're right about the rape thing, My bad. I was going off memory and that is back in 2004? lol I should check my sources.
IF you had read the rest of our conversation you'd understand that we had a misunderstanding. I thought he ment they LITERALLY MERGED. like Goten/Trunks Style. That's what i thought he ment.

Re: fresh new characters please
Just an idea for a character here.
As has been mentioned before in threads, I would like to see an Arabic warrior style character. He would use either a Scimitar or a Saif as his main weapon, but not exclusively.
This excellent fan-art of Saladin by nJoo/Andrew Hou on deviantart shows a pretty nice representation of what he could look like.
Then again, we could use more women in the game... a female version would also be fine with me. Another fan-art image of Shajar al-Durr by *GENZOMAN on deviantart could also give inspiration of what she could look like:
I dunno, it would just be interesting to see the concept.
Admittedly it would have to be executed well enough in order for it to work, but if they do they could have an interesting character on their hands.

Re: fresh new characters please
I was thinking about a new character I was thinking it could be a mix between a shokan and tarkatan four arms, blade on each, a normal character not a boss, and it could have some sort of natural armor like thick bone plates and it could be made in the flesh pits

Re: fresh new characters please
in all honestly the sequel to this game's going to obviously take off where mortal kombat 4 picked up with quan chi being the main.
with all the humans who died i say put some new faces in there like similar fighting styles but different special's combo's
wouldn't be bad but they tried to much in the past.

Re: fresh new characters please
this. we have WAY more than enough characters to build on. and maybe we should try not killing them all at once

Re: fresh new characters please
If seen nice arguments for both sides here but I have to side with the ones asking for a few new characters.
Just because MK has a huge backlog of characters doesn't mean they should simply try and reinvent them. The majority of people on this board seem to agree that the majority of post-UMK3 characters aren't good (including me), so why would you want them to come back?
Let the developers come up with something new. Just a few new characters like Street Fighter did. The majority of SF3 characters weren't used in SF4, so it's not a ridiculous idea to not include the majority of MK's second generation of characters.
However, I would not want any new characters to be added to MK9 as DLC. A new character should have an opportunity to prove themselves to the fans and show their personality. Meaning that they should be included in the story mode. Since I don't anticipate NRS adding to MK9's story, they should just wait until MK10 to add any brand new characters.
As my post-count shows, I'm new here (been lurking a while), but I look forward to spending time on the site.

Re: fresh new characters please
How awesome would it be if they gave her the Daggertail from Prince of Persia?
If a new character looked like her (and wasn't an ex-man like Sonya, Kitana, and Jade) I would play as the lady in that picture in a heartbeat. Good post, and +rep.
Too late; Scarlet is brand new, no personality, and is being added to MK9 via DLC. I wouldn't mind if they tested character concepts with us through DLC, and then finalized their character/fighting styles.

Re: fresh new characters please
This thread is kinda contradicting others in a way. Many people cant stand many of the "newer" characters, mk4 +, yet people are comin9 up with new ideas for new characters. Why cant we just keep the original, most popular cast like we have in mk9?

If we end up having to wait till we get a sequel to this "reboot" for friendship's than so be it.
But if I were the developer for this game friendship's would be one of the first things I would make available for DLC. Mainly because I am pretty dang confident that the majority of us old school MK fans wouldn't hesitate for a second to drop some cash on them!

Because the problem with most Post MK4 characters was that they were copies of existing ones.
