Your wishlist for MK10

You guys say things like Oh well if MK still has the blood and the kicka** fatalities, and a few other things. Then I see people say things like place Sub-Zero in a female body, or keep him cyber. Hell, make him a bad guy, let's have someone just use his body even though it doesn't have a soul, then saying he doesn't need a soul. Which is one of the most hugely unignorable traits that he fought for in the old timeline. He fought for a soul.

I know you guys say just forget the old timeline. However, when you come in and you say that this is a continuation of an old timeline and you start changing stuff willy nilly without Raiden touching a thing, it becomes ridiculous.

So, and this is not directed at anyone in particular. When you start removing, and killing characters (and assume this is for good), at what point does it stay MK, and not just some bad horror movie or disappointing science fiction where everyone dies?

You say Well let's do this and let's do that to a character. Make them a cyborg, have them turn bad, or anything of the sort. At what point do you lose what that character is about entirely, and just realize that you have not stayed true to a character, but just made a new character completely?

Here's my thing with Cyber Subz.

Different look
Different playstyle
Different ambitions now because quite frankly anything he cared about in the old timeline is I wouldn't say gone, but definitely put on hold.

So at what point do you say this isn't Sub-Zero anymore? I mean I'm being honest here.

At what point to you guys say something isn't MK, because I'm sorry if they just put a bunch of characters in that we haven't seen and put Mortal Kombat on it then I don't see that as Mortal Kombat.

However, some of you act as if you're completely fine with that, and I'll just say I'm not. I would say at it's core at least these characters help mold an identity for Mortal Kombat: Sub-Zero, Scorpion, Raiden, Sonya, and a couple others, but those are the main ones. When you start changing their identities though they aren't the same character.

I'm pissed because I feel that Sub-Zero in the old timeline would have fought life and limb to not become cyber, and possibly would have just killed himself before he would have. He fought for humanity, for life. To prove that cybernetics are not better than human flesh and will. He then shoved all of that up Sektor's arse and took back the Lin Kuei to make it a force for good, and ultimately became one of the best good guys out there. That's a huge part of what his character stood for. That is his character in essence. So when you turn him into exactly what he fought against it kind of pisses people off, and I'm really surprised that some of you just don't get that.

Everything you listed was just speculation. Again, you jump to conclusions and make everything look grim.

Why can't he do great things as a cyborg with the SAME MIND he had as a human?

Just answer that one question.


As long as it's a contuination of some form of a story and series of events related to the realms and gods ect ect. It will always be Mortal Kombat.

The characters just have a special place in your heart because You grew up with them and they started the whole thing.

But why jump ship when a new thing COULD be better?

I'd rather take my shot at change and hope for the best than to stay stagnate forever and have the same old characters doing the same nilly willy things.

Oh Khameleon is still tryna bang reptile.

Oh Raiden is still protecting earth realm

Sonya is still chasin Kano


How about we resolve some issues, have some tragedys that make your heart weep and cry out in sadness. Then see new rising heros?

Just a thought.

That's just the thing I though. Honestly I felt they should keep a few core characters and just continue, actually continue after Armageddon. This whole thing to me is just bullcrap that they went back in time because honestly I don't recognize these characters in the timeline they are in.

That's where the whole problem arises too. I could deal better with the changes, if we weren' in the era that I grew up with. Going back in time was a mistake in the first place. However, they did it to get all of the good characters back. What do you know, maybe their characters do mean something?

Also, not saying he can't do great things as a cyborg, but it's still going to feel like a different character. A cyborg is not a human. You could argue that it's harder to relate to him now as well because quite frankly nobody is going to abduct me and make me a robot. Hell I could have him dressed in pink and deal with it better than being a cyborg. I don't like the fact that he doesn't have his full humanity. I just don't. You may, but I don't like it. The fact he can be hacked. The fact he can end up a slave, the fact that taking back the Lin Kuei would mean nothing now considering it's not humanity versus cybernetics, but now cybernetics versus cybernetics, I just don't like it.

Also on the whole could be better thing. You are being waaay to optimistic in my opinion. I realize I may be the pessimistic one, but NRS track record isn't exactly great when it comes to some things. Sub-Zero fans are not the only ones pissed here, just take a look at Mileena fans, or Shang Tsung fans for that matter. I feel that this game did more to murder or transform characters than actually grow and progress.

Honestly though in the end, you're not going to convince me this is good, and I'm not going to convince you it's bad. So I guess we need to stop arguing. To each his own I guess. I'll just leave it as I don't like cyborgs. Plain and simple. It takes away from the character, and I feel it limits them. So to see Sub-Zero become one pisses me off.

Edit:

One last thing to address. Also, I see that you want new heroes. Here's my other thing with the cyborgs. If hypothetically we jumped into the future and seen some of these guys children or grandchildren. Everyone of them can have grandchildren except oh wait that's right Sub-Zero can't. That's another reason it pisses me off. The Sub-Zero name has been passed down for generations, and you would think it would be one of the most important things for Sub-Zero to want to pursue. Especially considering he may be the last of his kind. Him being a cyborg doesn't allow for that though. It's just another thing about him being a cyborg I don't like. He can't continue the Sub-Zero name as a cyborg.
 
i may be the millionth person to say this but i want the mk4/da/deception music in here. MK9 to me just feels empty without that memorable ambient music which was just as unique as the fatalities i mean what other fighter has that plus it always gave each match a feeling as if it was a fight to the death. I hope they bring that back instead of the orchestral stuff that feels off
 
MK4's music wasn't really all that similar to Deadly Alliance's and Deception's music, but I 100% agree

MK needs to have that raw type of feeling that it had in the early 3D games

It's a little hard to put in words, but MK9's music is way too cinematic and clean, if that makes any sense

A lot of it didn't fit MK; some of the music even sounded like they belonged to The Dark Knight :?

As much as I enjoyed Flying Jinko's story I hope to god they don't copy it.

I don't want to play the coming games and suddenly it sinks into me that I've already read this story.

Takes the hype out of it.

yea I too wouldn't really like them to exactly follow my story since it doesn't feel like a new experience anymore, but only if they can make and come up with a much better one. I would rather like to visually experience my story than a bad, less than stellar story though it may be new.
 
Does everyone forget the magic they did with Stryker? People use to hate that guy. (I still think one of his alternate costumes should've been a fully donned SWAT suit that would've raised his hype.

So what's to say Jarek won't be a cool character in the next game.

I say wait to judge before auto judgeing.


@Subz: But your STORY DID STILL HAPPEN. Armageddon all of that stuff happened. All they did was find a way to scape goat making all the popular characters young again.

After Armageddon, Story was finished. Good guys lose. Your characters were getting old as dirt. This is your chance to see them reborn. Some character lines I think may suffer a tad, while others will grow.

Johnny Cage is about to become something Amazing I think.


@BBBLP: Yes but if you understood what was really happening in that video, you'd rage lol. Sareena can spam knives back to back so fast that the only way to avoid them is to side step But hat only leaves you at nuetral because you can't approach+Sidestep. IF sareena hits you with knives on your block you slide back and lose distance.

If you choose to duck them, she's got a overhead that pretty much zero to deaths you. And that's what you saw at the end. That ridiculous practically full life combo.

The reason you saw drahmin is because he's one of the few characters that can actually do something about her zoning.
 
My wishlist is this all characters returning from MK9 with the exception of the Cyber Ninjas,Stryker,Sheeva,Jax. To be replaced by all new characters available in story mode.
 
I want a character based off of 'Rama' from the Raid. Maybe someone who used to work with Stryker. Mk imo needs a real world character without all the fancy powers. Here's a vid from The Raid the demonstrates exactly how I want him to fight :
