Your wishlist for MK10

If anything, I think that Sub-Zero's soul will be in a body of a Lin Kuei member while his cyborg body is evil. (Reminds me of what happened to Li Mei in MKDA-MKD.) And maybe that woman from Jade's MK9 ending will take over her body as well (that would be interesting).

Also generally speaking, can we please not have such technical movesets like Skarlet's in MK9!!!

Smoke also came from the Lin Kuei, and he was revealed to be a demon in his MK9 ending.
Is it really THAT far fetched to say that Kuai-Liang may also be one?
Maybe that's why he and Smoke are such good friends.

Who says that he would need to find the body of a Cyromancer?
What if ice-wielding powers are just part of who he is?

I don't know how you are even comparing those two. Smoke was killed and sacrificed as a child and he got reborn as a demon. Even as a demon he does not have the power to randomly go into bodies and possess them. In MK things like that can only be done through sorcery, plus there aren't many who can do it. This is specifically the reason why Quan Chi allied himself with Shang Tsung in DA, cause only Shang Tsung knew how to transfer souls from one body to another. Souls don't randomly go into bodies.

Raiden placed shackles on zombie Liu Kang.
The shackles controlled the dead.
As such, he placed them on the corpse of Liu Kang, recited an unholy incantation, and revived Liu Kang as his personal enforcer.
Raiden was also able to bring people back from the dead, plus he completely healed Jax's arms after Sonya rescued him.
He has those powers too, not just Shang Tsung.

In the MK universe anything is possible.
Come on.

You mean to tell me that Liu Kang can come back as a zombie, but the soul of Kuai-Liang can't posses a dead corpse from a fallen warrior?
Or that Raiden can't zombify \ bring Sub-Zero back from the dead.
Why not?

Speaking of impossible crap in MK, didn't Cyrax get turned back human by Sonya and Jax in MK: GOLD?


NOTHING is impossible in the MK universe.

What Raiden did with Liu Kang's corpse is a completely different thing altogether. It was more like necromancy than a transfer of souls. Also it wasn't Liu Kang's soul inside his body. Zombie Kang was just a reanimated corpse, it had no soul. Liu Kang's soul was still with Shang Tsung then as revealed by his ending.
Raiden has special powers, but infusing a body with souls isn't one of them, if that were so, he could have constantly revived all the heroes who died during the series and the forces of light could have not lost at the end of MKDA.
Also Sub Zero's soul is now in control of Shinnok like all the other fallen heroes. His soul can't go about doing things as it pleases.

But that never did happen did it? Cyrax did show signs of regaining a bit of his humanity back in MKDA but he never became fully human.

You can't throw away rooted parameters for characters and the story just for the sake seeing popular characters return, the entire appeal of what MK has been so far gets lost there and that would just be a lazy move in general.

As much as I agree with this post overall, I have to correct something here. Liu Kang's soul was with Ermac at the time trying to free the souls of Onaga's dead warrriors, not with Shang Tsung. His soul was freed from Shang Tsung right when Shang Tsung died in the battle between Raiden, the Deadly Alliance and Onaga

Yea, my bad, his soul was with Ermac. I basicaly mentioned Liu Kang's ending to show that his soul was separate from zombie Kang.

Understood, but the question was not whether or not it was a lazy move, but rather if it was possible at all in the next game.

I know that it's been beaten like a dead horse, but Kuai-Liang isn't the only Sub-Zero, and it's possible that Bi-Han could come back human as a divided soul, due to being kicked into the Soulnado by Nightwolf, similar to his Armageddon ending.
 
Something I would love to see for the next game is a bigger interaction with the community - things like design contests with the winning entries being made into DLC. There are people with great ideas out there, and I would gladly spend money on a badass costume or fatality for my favourite characters.

I like that idea, maybe even use fanfiction for like extra content or something
 
I'm hoping to see the following for MK10, though I doubt some of these thing we'll ever see:



- 4 player Tag Team online, meaning 4 people on 4 different consoles, online

- Cross-platform playability for online (I doubt that Sony or MS would agree to that, but if they did HOLY SHIT THAT WOULD BE AWESOME!!!!)

- Netcode that's not done by Gamespy servers

- Compatibility with US and International versions of MK10 (there are a few people who I've wanted to play MK9 with, but can't because they live in London..... LAME :|)

- More DLC fatalities, klassic costumes and stages (Why the **** doesn't The BellTower have the Klassic MK3 stage fatality in MK9???)

- Tremor (I don't give a shit if he's on the main roster, DLC or unlockable, but I just want to see him make his debut in an MK fighting game as a full-fledged character, not some half-assed Vita job.)
 
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.

I know that story isn't too important to you, because you focus more on the competitive side, which I completely respect. ;-)
Story MUST be mentioned though because neither Human or Cyber Sub-Zero can return without a viable explanation, which I've also expressed in previous threads.

I don't see why you think that Story isn't important to me.

Otherwise I would never be in this discussion nor in the scorpion dead one. I know ALOT about MK lore. I've played EVERY SINGLE MORTAL KOMBAT game ever released except special forces I honestly never even knew that existed until I joined this site.

I even had the shitty gameboy looking handheld thingy of Mortal kombat.

I played MKvsDC I played Armageddon I played ALL of those games. ONLY for the story, because frankly... the gameplay sucked major ass to me.

I mean... look at this shit.

So knowing I played those games now, You should now know I do care about the story.

If it wasn't for Blazblue, I would nominate Mortal Kombat for best fighting game story.

but IMO Blazblue takes the cake.
 
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.
