After some time working on my Mortal Kombat fan-game, I've come to the conclusion of creating Ultimate Mortal Kombat 2.
Gameplay Changes
As an update to MK2, most of the fighting mechanics are exactly the same. However, their are a few changes. Most of the characters moves have been tweaked or new moves will be given. The power bar system from MK9 will possibly be implemented into the game along with the possibility of Brutalities. Some fatalities will also be replaced. Every character now has in-game intros like they did in MK9. The graphics of the game will also be reworked to a more game-like style rather than digital actors. Here is a very hard WIP image of the graphics comparison. (not the final product)
New Roster
Only 8 members of the original cast will be present in the game. Along with this cast, there are 4 more playable characters. Both Noob Saibot and Jade are now playable and have their own unique set of moves (except the stances). 2 more original characters that were introduced in my fanfic will be present in the game as playable characters. The first character is Shelia, the younger sister of Frost who was denied a position in the Lin Kuei and attempted to rebuild the Shirai Ryu with a new generation of warriors. Of course she will use some of her ice skills, but she mostly uses hand-to-hand attacks against her foes. The second character is Eve, a female Shadow Priest in training who is a very powerful enemy to Earthrealm. Her goal is to gain her complete immortality. She is only introduced in the "Fanfiction.net" version of my fanfic. Along with these is a secret character that can be fought through unknown circumstances. There is also a new sub-boss, which is Reptile. Although he was playable in the original MK2 and he isn't as huge at Kintaro, his new skill set will make up for it all. The other 4 characters that won't be featured in the game are Raiden, Johnny Cage, Mileena, and Reptile (cause he's a sub-boss now).
Additional Stages
Two more available stages are the Netherealm and "Edenia District." Every stage will have it's graphics reworked and their will be multiple cameos in the stages. All previous character cameos will be replaced.
FAQ
Q: Why an Update of MKII?
A: MKII was my favorite game out of the original series. In any trilogy, I always feel the second one is the best (Yes, even with dragon age 2).
Q: How will these additinal characters fit into the Story of MKII?
A: All of the characters are tied to each other in one form or another, and they all have a connection to Shao Kahn's Tournament.
Q: Why a new Sub-Boss?
A: Other than pure laziness, I just didn't really like Kintaro. So, yeah he's getting replaced.
Q: What's going to happen with the MKR fan-game?
A: It's still gonna happen, but its going to be sorta like MKM: SZ. Both games will be connected to each other, with MKR serving as a prequel detailing the events of some character's adventure in Outworld between the timespan of MK1 and MK2. I haven't given up on that game yet.
Q: Why not use all of this time and effort on your own original game instead?
A: Alongside both of my projects, I am working on an original fighting game called "Dark Rose." UMK2 will be released eventually, but Dark Rose is a priority game that's in its pre-development stages right now.
So far, I'm in all of these projects on my own, but the team will eventually grow. If anyone else is interested in helping me develop UMK2 or MKR, please let me know.
