Tryning to guess who will be the final boss...

I still see Onaga returning. He's a major part of the MK universe and I remember he was pretty popular. Raiden never got any visions of Reptile finding the Dragon egg and becoming Onaga. Otherwise he would have killed Reptile at the start of the game. Raiden never got any visions of Shujinko neither. The game will have a span of 25 years, so the events of MK4 - MKA can still happen seeing that Deception takes place right after Deadly Alliance took off and the bios in MKDA states it been 10 years since Liu Kang beat Shang Tsung.
 
I can see Onaga being in the game in the form of a Cameo or a Behind the Scene villain but as the front man/poster villain, No i dont see it this time around!
 
Doesn't one of Raiden's flashbacks have Shujinko and Onaga pictured? They aren't just going to be scraped then. Onaga would be a better boss IMO. He'd be huge on a 2D plane.

I have a feeling they will be tossed aside. Netherrealm wants to rewrite MK history, and that's how they'll do it. I don't know though, they can do anything at this point.

Maybe instead of Reptile becoming Onaga, Liu Kang can become Onaga. Seeing a smaller and faster version of Onaga might be cool to see. I always like Onaga because it's a big dragon, what more can you love out of him? I was surprise it took MK so long to give us a dragon theme boss at the time. I do like his voice he had in the Konquest modes, but I don't think NRS has no way contact any of the old voice cast back.

I am not sure if you're being sarcastic or not,but there is no reason to think the characters deaths will do difference to Onaga using Shujinko as his tool.He could just train and do jobs to different characters this time.

I wasn't being sarcastic, Boon said it will be mainly a new story so I'm just thinking how they would eliminate Deception Konquest, I don't really see them rehashing that plotline if they are aiming for something new. Wasn't the final chapter of Konquest about Shao Kahn trying to invade Edenia and Sindel & co trying to protect it? That was after the invasion of Earthrealm, right (since Shujinko was his old self after being imprisoned in Orderrealm)?

I think they should eliminate this story too,but not Shujinko.Now that Raiden knows where his quest would lead to,he can intercept him and reveal the truth about''Damashi''.We then don't know what Jinko would become without this objective in life.But IMO they will throw him away,gonna have,in maximum,a small cameo.
 
Onaga's return is a prophecy, it's not just a myth. And it goes far beyond Raiden's changes.

You see that Taven mentions Shinnok as an Elder God. So Taven is as old as Shinnok in the Heavens. At the same time, he mentions that Kahn tried to invade Edenia and also that Raiden always tried to stop Kahn. It means that Shao Kahn was Emperor of Outworld before the battle of the gods, that happened thousands of years ago.

It means that Onaga is pretty much older than all of that, and the promise of his return too.

When a prophecy is made, unless it says how it is going to happen, no matter the way, it shall happen someday, and we know that Onaga did return in the first timeline.

Maybe Raiden stops Shujinko, maybe Onaga never decept the old fool, it does not matter, it was said he would be back, so someday he will be back, of course it does not mean that he will be back in the next game or even in any future game. Anyway, he came back earlier than 25 years in the last timeline (lesser than 10, considering Armageddon was set 10 years after MK3).

I also bet for Onaga being one of the big bads.
 
It'd be awesome for Tanya to be the final boss and have her MKD ending be cannon or a similar thing happens to her.

I can imagine her being like Dark Phoenix from X-Men but maybe without being able to fly. She'd have flame attacks that would cause extreme amount of damage.

Rain is a good character, but is not well explored. We also don't get his backstory too much. He is the kind of character that people like, writers like, but they don't find a way to fit him well.

I hope we don't have only humanoid bosses (I mean, Shao Kahn is not an humanoid, that guy is brute, he is tall, and if you let him make a chain combo you probally lose the battle), like Shinnok (I hope he will be one boss, maybe for a chapter if it is MK9/IGAU style), we already have Kotal Kahn (he may be one villain to be beaten for sure).

But I still bet on Onaga, already said why. And we need to punch someone big. And he needs to be more mobile, more powerful on his hits, more violent. Deception Onaga was awesome, but I always think he was too defensive, Noob-Smoke battle was always harder. If he is the big boss, he needs to be very hard, and we can't miss his fly and throw attack!

I hope for 3 or more bosses on the X ladder. Like in MK9, Shang, Goro/Kintaro, Kahn. That would be cool to have multiple ladders. Maybe one has 4 bosses total. One mid way through and through harder bosses ahead.

I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for Shinnok.
 
Onaga was definitely one of the best 3D characters and easily one of the best bosses in the franchise. He looks exactly how the Emperor of Outworld should be: big, ruthless, monstrous and near invencible. He is much more frightning and intimidating than Shao Khan. Most of all, he looked like an ancient being.

3D era was always very complicated to me. While I didn't enjoy the 3D fighting mechanics, the story from Deadly Alliance to Deception is so spectacular and great in a way that expanded the mythos of MK and made it so much than your traditional fighting game. MK became no longer just a fighting game, but a whole story about a complex story where every character is connected. That's how I've always felt and that's why I don't think they should just scrap everything from the 3D era completely...

Me too! And this multiple ladders would be very good, MK3/UMK3 and MK4 style!

About the story, maybe we could have Shinnok (sub boss/hard "normal" char, like Quan Chi), Kotal Kahn (same), Onaga (same).

Now imagine an arcade ladder where you fight sub bosses, Shinnok, Kotal Kahn (he need to be harder to beat), and Onaga. Now that's a challenge!
 
I just want to add one more thing, I just realized that.

We all know now that Kotal Kahn is the new Emperor who is taking over Outworld.

But man...it's said that there is only one true ruler of Outworld...

For real, Onaga :ftw:

i really like Onaga. He should definitely be in MKX.

Fix his wings though. I just didn't like them for some reason.
 
I agree with the dragon king returning. He was an awesome boss with a great lore and I'd like to see him, if not this game than the next one. I might be alone here but I'd like to see him a bit more humanoid looking over the gargoyle style. Kind of how he looked in Raiden's ending in DA.

Now, somebody go ahead and correct me if i'm wrong....

But didn't the dragon king have that "monster" look because he used Reptiles body as a host or whatever...So that gave him the more "Reptilian" look he had.
