Is Khamelon already out of discussion? She was in the original MKT roster along with Chamelon. I think we will have to wait and see if she's coming out.
I am playing pessimistic here. Actually Khameleon and Motaro are the only Trilogy characters left from this game but still have cameo appearances in the story mode. Khameleon as a background character in the tournament and Motaro killed by Raiden.
Also, unbelievably, they left her out of Armageddon even though she was mentioned in Reptile's old card and they added her because we at the time demanded her. I simply don't get NRS choices to be honest, they have basically a character ready to be polished and they still don't take the chance.
The characters from the original Trilogy left out from MK9 have 0% chances to be included
-
Motaro: waste of potential, if they ever release a Ultimate Mortal Kombat with all DLC included in the CD, they MUST include Motaro, I don't even care if he's playable.
-
Chameleon: already denied by Boon when a kid sent him a cute picture he had made of Chameleon,, his favourite character. Why does Boon believe that a new "ninja" wouldn't be popular as DLC? Just give him his own moves (preferably chameleon-inspired: see Bloody Roar 2's Buzusima character) and gameplay and he'll be a damn good addition to this game.
-
Khameleon: MK females' fanbase wouldn't mind Khameleon and again she has already was a colour swapped character (a grey Kitana) and she already has a storyline and a fantastic design.
-
Tremor: meant to be in Trilogy. Again, another "ninja", I'm pretty sure he'd be quite popular as DLC. Already has the storyline, a great concept, a great possible move-set with a specific element, all he lack is a original design, but that's of no concern.
-
Hornbuckle and
Blaze: these two would be great additions, I actually thought that Stunt Man would be Hornbuckle, I don't even think NRS would have much work with him and Blaze already has everything to be polished correctly.
Why add MK4, Deadly Alliance and Deception character when we already have so many characters from the original 3 games to be released? They even released Skarlet! However, I am sure they won't come back, maybe Tremor and Blaze in the next games, but the rest are goners.
