I kinda would actually love to see a pink male ninja. Make floromancy his theme with like sakura petals and flowers and stuff like that. And then make him the most masculine, buff and tough male ninja in the series, just go the exact opposite way of the stereotype. Make him have the physique of Jax, make him like a grappler or a heavy hitter. I think it'd be a bit funny at least. As long as you don't make him like, too obnoxious about it.

2:56 The fact that Scarlet was even a thing, alongside the claim from Netherrealm themselves that came from the design of the lady ninjas in MK11, shows me how the members within have changed to an unfathomable level-as if 2011 never happened. Meanwhile, I always thought that Skarlet was Kira's Netherrealm counterpart as a child until this place told me that it is not.

[@holeeshi9959]

honestly, they could have just said "the red female ninja was Nitara all along" and I would have believed it

[@MysteriousTomJenkins]

With Hydro, I could see some ways to differentiate him from Rain without making him a cyborg. For the first thing, make his ninja outfit completely distinct from the usual MK Ninja look. From the comic, he looked like a traditional looking ninja as opposed to what MK ninjas usually look like so go with that to set him apart from Sub-Zero. As for his water abilities, keep them but make it unique where he has more complete control over water, capable of either boiling it or freezing it, allowing him to be like a mix of Rain and Sub-Zero with some possibilities of pretty graphic deaths. Imagine a fatality where he boils someone alive, watching the flesh cook off their bones or cutting them open to make contact with their blood, freezing it as you watch ice spikes pop out of their flesh before they fall over and shatter. I think it could work, like a really violent Water Bender and you can focus more on Rain's weather control with lightning, tornadoes and stuff. I don't know, would be cool to see him as a human if he actually ends up in a game as opposed to a cyborg, we have enough of Sub-Zero's friends being corrupted and transformed, lets have one of them stay human. Another character I'd kind of want to see expanded on is Wu Lae, the leader of the Tengu Clan. This is a clan we know nothing about, they became the rivals of the modern Lin-Kuei and apparently are strong enough that Sub-Zero formed an easy truce as opposed to wiping them out so they must be pretty tough. Also interesting how Wu Lae can become momentarily invincible and seemed tough enough to momentarily fight with Taven before surrendering. Would be interesting to see a new clan expanded on and also would be interesting to see a character who is cowardly but apparently has some strength to make himself not a complete joke. Monster would also be cool since he was the actual champion before Scorpion so it makes me wonder what his deal was, maybe he was similar to Scorpion, a warrior from the Nether-Realm that the Elder Gods promised to release him from if he did their bidding, could be what inspired them to go with Scorpion after he was defeated.

[@Wright805]

Some great ideas there.

[@mynameisum249]

Can the fans manifest a decent story that doesn't feel like the timeline is just running in place?

[@officiallyzap]

The story is perfect wym, go on spit out ur preferred story then

[@mynameisum249]

@@officiallyzap A multi-realm story with multiple interlocking storylines, respect being shown for previous iterations/canon. No more generic good vs evil, but a emphasis on peoples personal goals. Maybe for once since MK9, consistency. Previous returns from long lost characters, either acting as their old self or reworked if they were not well liked. Not trying to shoehorn an expanded lore when the lore is supposed to already 7 realms wide with characters and history in each one. Oh, and not restarting the universe every other game would be nice.

[@officiallyzap]

@@mynameisum249 well thats the hard part, there was an ongoing story with midway til WB replaced them hence WB wanting a new storyline, resetting the story of MK9 (as stated it was supposed to be an MK1 reboot) but since WB chose the multi-storyline arc they will touch on the previous characters. Hence also why they brought back such long lost characters like Havik, Ashrah, and so on

[@mynameisum249]

But going based on what they have done before, I don't trust these characters to be respected. Plus, relying on a reset once is fair, but twice is unappealing. I respect MK9's attempt, despite some missteps in the third act. At least it tried to show where it started. MKX and 11 were unwanted attempts at expanding that were intrusive to the overall story@@officiallyzap

[@realfromtherealreality4148]

You know, it reminds me of something I thought about Kobra when I heard people complaining about him. "He's just a Ken reskin!" "His moves only reference other fighting games!" This led me to think about creating a young earthrealm combatant that possesses great potential which he only utilizes to look cool or like his favorite fighting game heroes. Maybe it could actually be Kobra himself, but redone, before giving an inverted character arc so he could end up as the violent martial artists we've known him as since his debut, and maybe as a member of the chaosrealm or something.

[@twinodoom]

Now I'm headcanoning Kobra as a Johhny Cage fanboy.

[@ChamChamRealSmooth]

How cool would it be if Cole Young was actually Kobra? They both use sticks and have fire-based moves. And making Kobra related to Scorpion somehow would be neat and flesh him out more.

[@antonhanna2423]

This sounds like what would happen if you took Corbata from that thumb wrestling cartoon that used to air in the mid 2000s and turned him into an actual threat of a bad guy. I love everything about this! Sorry for the back-handed compliment.

[@mansurislamov9595]

I personally see Kobra's retcon in accordance with his original backstory. A sadistic young man who joins a group of anarchists secretly sponsored by Black Dragon to destabilize political situation. He is a decent fighter, but his fiery moves are replaced with Molotovs, he still wields machete, brass knuckles and maybe a handgun (even though too many characters use guns these days). That guy can be recruited to Black Dragon later on and can become a personal enemy of Stryker. He lacks his Ken-like hairstyle, as his head is probably shaved, and he wears a hood, much like in his alternative outfit. His looks from Snowblind are cool as well.

[@GhostFan-ev4di]

So basically it's because of us as the fans why the MK series is big as it is today!!

A character that got mentioned by the developers in the Meat bio is another character called "Skully" that is the modern term for the skeleton models used since DA, going so far as to mention him as a "cousin" of Meat, but hasn't been outright playable in any game.

[@nabilahmed579]

Khrome’s is honestly a unique concept. I always liked the idea of having a full-on terminator like character be an antagonist to the lin kuei. Maybe, he can be connected to the orderrealm as they have the technology to make chrome into a real thing

[@sainttan]

I can see him having Magnetism, Gravity Powers or even Metal Bending abilities.

[@flair541]

Me personally: I do hope Belokk is in the next MK. Even if he's just a boss, It would be friggin awesome.

[@NoNoNah306]

Belokk is the biggest longshot since he wasn't even developed by Midway, he was developed by Eurocom when they were hired to port MK4 to the Dreamcast, and they were promptly told to stop because Midway didn't want another company owning mortal kombat characters. I don't think he's seen as favourably by Ed Boon etc. as actual in house character concepts they once considered. I'd like a Belokk appearance, but really I just want more lore about the netherrealm, what it was like before Shinnok took over and so on.

[@codyman5540]

Belokk would be a new breath of fresh air for villains in the series that isn't Serious Hero Fodder IE Reptile/Baraka/Kano. With the right efforts of strengthening his abilities and a unique background/character on himself, he'd be a great brand new character I'd be happy with.

[@NoNoNah306]

@@codyman5540 In a new timeline there's no reason even Baraka couldn't be a heavy hitter this time around. His design is very archetypically mortal kombat, there's a reason they put him on the poster for deception. If Liu Kang can just be a guy so good at kung fu he can punch out gods and elder gods, and Johnny Cage can be descended from a mediterranean war cult, then Baraka can get a push. I'd like to see him as a reverse Liu Kang, underdog from the disrespected Tarkatan race who surprise beats the Great Kung Lao after 9 straight victories, flies under God Liu Kangs radar because he's worried about Goro. Baraka as unexpected plan wrecker suits his vibe. If they wanted to they could take it as far as guy who is willing to wreck the universe until it has to start again because he's mad that the literal god of time turns out to have a bias towards making his race be one of the losers of history for something that happened in another timeline. I'd like to see Belokk but if he's just the new D'vorah where he's wiping people out to build cred without the proper build it'd suck, especially when MK has the deepest roster in fighting games to call on. What the villains of MK are lacking is build, the characters themselves are pretty cool. Kano routinely steals the scene to become a fan favourite in multiple forms of media, and Reptile is a dinosaur who is also a ninja. They all have potential.

[@wdcain1]

I wish Tanya acting more like Ruby from the cartoon. I loved her infiltrating the good guys as a civilian to wreck things. This would fit perfectly with Tanya's status as a spy.

[@misssammy123]

I think out of all the characters fans manifested, Skarlet & Ermac(& Rain if he counts) are about the only ones that fit in seamlessly. Despite not being in universe originally. I certainly think a cap should've been put on this kind of thing a long time ago though.

I'll say, I don't think redundancy will stop Hydro from making it into the game eventually. I mean, Sub-Zero and Frost had the same powers and different movesets when the latter made her debut, Kira had similar powers to Sonya, but both shared a roster. If Netherrealm is creative enough, they can make Hydro and Rain feel distinct, maybe have Rain be more weather-oriented and Hydro be more like a specific waterbender. But if we're gonna have a silly addition, Khrome wouldn't be so bad, I know it has dumb origins, but lets be real, isn't that literally what Ermac, Rain, Meat and Skarlet had before making their way into the roster?

A kinda cool addition across MK is how the devs may reference original plans or fan-made concepts for characters. -Ermac's appearances in the Wu Shi Academy in Shaolin Monks and the MK1 tournament in MK9 are a callback/canonization to Ermac's rumored origins in MK1. And yes, Ermac's rumors were also called back in MK2. (You can headcanon that the reason Jade wasn't aware of Ermac in MK9 was because of Ermac's creation being a super secret operation until the time of his completion, especially when considering the MK9 retcon of Ermac's origin.) You could interpret Ermac's non-canon side mission in Shaolin as a way for the writers to confirm Ermac's presense in MK1 as non-canon and maybe even non-canon for Shaolin Monks' story, especially considering how if I remember correctly the team stated that all the Fatalities in the game were non-canon (despite how little sense that makes). -Noob from MK9 and onwards creates shadow clones as a reference to him originally being a palette swap of Kano and Scorpion, and maybe even because of having Sub-Zero's Fatality and Reiko's moveset in MK4. -Scorpion has an MK11 Reptile skin, due to Reptile in MK1 being a Scorpion pallette swap. -Mileena has an intro with Erron that suggests she got into the game because of fan outcry. OK, that one actually wasn't cool, like not at all. -It is possibly a stretch, but an intro Skarlet has with Rain that suggests that Skarlet has Edenian blood inside her and maybe that whole being Shao Kahn's daughter could both be interpreted as a callback/canonization of Skarlet's rumored origin as a Kitana reskin. -Skarlet making cameos in the MK9 story mode canonises/calls back to her rumored origins. She also appears in the MK1 version as well, despite her rumored origin being in MK2, but that can be forgiven due to Kitana now existing in that part of the story as well. Also, congrats to Skarlet's trailer and bio presenting a backstory for her that explained well why she wasn't involved in the original story. -In Noob's MK9 ending, Noob and Havik come to an understanding, which is a callback to Havik's original concept being inspired by Noob.

[@PaleoNerd1905]

I swear I recall hearing somewhere that both Belokk and Khrome have copyright issues preventing them from appearing in any MK games, what with Belokk being an original character created for a console port, and Khrome having his backstory and powerset created entirely by fans.

Walking on liquid nitrogen until your body freezes and falls apart at you keep walking and then he just crushed your head.

I think hydro would be a cool addition. He could have control of water based weather so rain, rainbows, hurricanes etc it’d set up a funny dynamic between him and rain as their names correspond to the others powers but could also open up some unique abilities like maybe smoking out your screen so the other player can’t see the health bars or something like that

[@Universe.Steven]

I hope Tasia from the black dragon gets added somehow to the game.

[@boomer310]

Toasty guy better be on here or it’s over

[@CrixusOfGaul]

Funny how The4thSnake thinks just like I do about this MK stuff. Good Video man.

[@aminadabbrulle8252]

I, meanwhile, am waiting for Wu Lae to get a chance.

[@Quatrixjs1]

Bahomet seemed like a cool concept

[@genericstickman5967]

we all know it's going to be Lucifer from the instruction manual for Mythology: Sub-Zero

[@cheapR1]

Agreed at the end. I hate it that NRS entertains the dumbest ideas from fans. Nintendo held off for a while and then they included Ridley

[@RIPAlien]

We need hydro as a new ninja. Idc if it’s just a rain clone, but Tundra, Hydro, and Smoke having a trio is tight

[@seanchan4478]

Now we need that pink ninja

[@Doomness87]

bruh khrome getting in would be so funny and that's reason enough for mk fans to put him next to random guest fighters and mk1 and 2 characters when asking ed for dlc (oh and dont forget ed's location we cant forget that)

[@jg5004]

Khrome is next!

[@DragonXD2]

You know with the many characters they threw in, why not try to make Hydra the character they made in the comics, a thing? I just realized (I don't mean misspelling Hydro) MK could add one of the elementals say the fire one from Mortal Kombat Mythology, and they have yet to do so after Fujin. Why not bring in the Earth, Water, and Fire spirits or lesser gods (whatever they call them now.) as mini bosses. Did everyone but Fujin die to Sub-Zero? Seriously Bi Han technically killed them all, but Fujin just gets better with no explanation whatsoever.

[@Euro.Patriot]

Gods regenerate.

[@DragonXD2]

@@Euro.Patriot Sad they can't use that outside Raiden and Fujin, but that does explain why Fujin is back.

[@Euro.Patriot]

@@DragonXD2 They can but the writers are morons hellbent on giving us trash like Kollector, D'Vorah and Erron.

[@thebigyes8482]

I really hope the next game builds off of the Lao ending. Nether realm won’t do this though, because people will cry if each game doesn’t have the same roster. Something new and risky would be nice.

[@jamainegardner4193]

My dude, a Sonic or Star Wars Wasted Plotential would work so well.

[@andrewbrohm9304]

This gives me an idea, I wish that Cyrax, Sektor, Frost, Kano and Sonya were part of the main roster and not cameos in mk1

[@matthewknight5926]

I still demand Art Lean to be playable in the next game

[@cameronjohnson9361]

The biggest problem with the mk tournament was we never got to see the Art leans get killed off so in my head cannon Art and other acclaimed martial artist whose names are mk mixes like Eddie Tobias got murked by the bad guys and ninjas during mk one

[@Thunderclese3]

I'd like to see Art Lean from the 1995 movie as a character. Art was simply a fighter in the tournament, which sounds boring at first thought. But that means his fighting style and background in game could be anything. Plus he managed to get some hits in on Goro, so that has to count for something. Also for Meat's backstory they say he is a failed experiment from the Flesh Pits. I wanna se what Meat would've been had the experiment been a success.

[@twinodoom]

5:00 Hydro could come back if there's a game that doesn't have Rain. But those are probably slim odds until MK13 at least.

[@WSendam]

Well his abilities are to control the temperature of water so that’s a plus but most likely unlikely 😅 which is kinda sad Ed won’t do it

[@KilamajaroKen]

I'm still holding out for Aqua.

[@carloscanales3183]

There has never been a white ninja. When I read the MKX comics I wanted them to adapt Fox into a playable dlc character as the first ever white ninja.

[@froz5551]

About Hydro, I really like an interpretation from one rom hack where hydro is a Sektor-like cyborg, but very rusty and unstable and he is covered in electricity all the time. I feel this could be an interesting direction for the character if he gets. And In order to also tackle the human problem, maybe making a cyborg(DC)-like cyborg or doing that, but he is also a zombie(like Deception Lui Kang), so that could play in to the rustiness of robotic parts and in to instability. I believe that Hydro has a lot of interesting stuff going for him that allow him to become a more unique character without taking away Rain's spotlight as a water-bender

[@eddychaosofpain244]

Need khrome to be a thing mk universe

[@JcgLounge]

I will continue to wait till the day Khrome becomes a real character.

[@TheGraveKnight]

I'm never gonna get Hornbuckle though :(

[@Khan-_-Art1st]

I would love to see Hydro as a borg to replace cyber sub and smoke in the new timeline. Even if just as a Kameo. He could be cool and very unique. Belokk too

[@harunocaleon5786]

5:40 God, I thought I was the only one who remembered that game

[@Ricki_47]

I mean.. hydro and rain can still be in the same game and just have hydro use water in different creative ways than rain but seeing how lackluster netherrealm been treating the MK franchise I doubt it

[@saloz9483]

Its usually ninja like characters most people tend to gravitate towards. I think its just for the simple fact ninjas=cool. So this is why we see stuff like we want chrome. Also I never knew about the origin of why rain was first shown which seems like a dick move from the devs lol. Also you do have point Hydro couldn't really come back since that would make rain obsolete and people would be mad if he replaced rain. So unless they complete change hydros powers it makes no sense. The only option would be to change hydros powers though what would they change it to. I guess you can make him do gas bombs or something.

[@Zero2HeroX]

Still wating for hornbuckle to be cannon

[@iswitchedsidesforthiscat]

Praying with you

[@Dewian_Hedgegod]

It's funny how two of them are red

[@Kira22558]

I want hydro became a playable.

[@screamingfluffiscomedic3955]

here's a concept for the Elder Gods "Monster" Osteokinesis, based purely of his design. (Osteokinesis being summoning & manipulation of bones) it'd be an interesting niche for him to fill. And you could go any number of ways with it, a diet necromancer, sprouting tusks & teeth to add punctuality to his punches, creating bone weapons, a calcium cannon that launches tooth fragmentation bone rockets or a denture minigun! he could be the emissary of the Elder Gods & an endless avalanche of calcium-baced bone puns of the clock. either being the Elder Gods Executioner or sending his opponent into a homicidal rage with his asinine wordplay.

[@screamingfluffiscomedic3955]

i realize just now that there's gonna be an army saying "Sans Undertale!?" ... i fuckin hate the internet

[@8ballmoe]

And I never knew that about meat 🍖 He was just a skeleton 💀 originally?? Wow guess it makes sense
