Characters Remember Absent Fighters

There are many characters that unfortunately did not make it on the main roster of Mortal Kombat 1; however, they are mentioned in many intro dialogues and other parts of the game, such as invasion mode and more.

Well, for all his quirks, Bo' Rai Cho is the most skilled martial artist in Outworld. Even if not at his prime, clearly he is the greatest teacher in the realms.

This Shao is a general who genuinely believes himself to be a freedom fighter and not a tyrant. From his perspective Sindel and now Meleena’s rule works against the people of Outworld. This is because he sees Outworld as a whole to be restricted by Liu Kang’s influence. Who is undermining they’re realms power to favor Earthrealm Shao believes that the Royal House is willfully complicit in this because of Liu Kang’s friendship with King Jarred. And so he believes he must usurp the Empire and take control. In this position of power he would then cut ties with Earthrealm. Removing Liu Kang’s influence

Shao whilst egotistical and nationalistic genuinely believes he's helping Outworld. He was a loyal General to Sindel up until Quan Chi sewed doubts in his mind.

Wonder Woman reference with Johnny and Ashrah. Ashrah is voiced by the same actress who voiced Wonder Woman in Injustice, hoping she reprises the role in the game.

@@aleksandarvil5718 That’s her, other roles I know her from Skyrim and Mass Effect. For Skyrim, she voiced many NPCs, like Faralda or Alva. For Mass Effect, she voiced the Asari Councillor who replaces the old one if they are killed.

Maybe this timeline they actually get mavado and hsu hao a proper rework. Full on grappler with Hsu hao sounds more promising and same for mavado if they make him more centered around his grappling hooks

[@atlasreborn7221]

Mavado is confirmed as a kameo in the kombat pack Hsu Hao is one of Ed's least favorite characters and the most hated since he's literally Chinese Kano.

It's interesting how kenshi does not look at his opponent when he talks them instead he turns his head to have his ear to them which is a thing that blond people may do

I'm loving all these references to these characters, but who's Brokade and Mahazzem?

I honestly have no clue myself…google searches bring up nothing. Dorfen, too? Like Noob’s Dorfen arena? Some of these are confusing

There is still one more that had never been mentioned. Not that there isn't any more four armed Shokans, but he happens to be tiger like. Also, forgot the line of Kotal.
