@@mynameismattfirered9276Injustice 1 and 2 were released in Japan with the MK guest characters so it’s possible. It’s just that the MK games themselves can’t be released there because they’re too violent for the ratings board there to allow (though it can be released on PC because those games aren’t rated but WB doesn’t do it for some reason)

[@RAIDENM4N]

I think the reason John Wick does not fit is because even when John kills a lot of people, a majority if not the entirety of his kills are cleaner than any MK character. John does not dismember or torture people - he tussles sometimes, gets a clean shot with a gun, or sticks a pencil in someone's eye, and then moves until he encounters his next target. He does not abhorrently maim his enemies, unlike Punisher hanging one of his targets on a meathook for them to bleed to death.

[@francisruna1500]

I could definitely see him as a kameo with a pencil fatality

[@Danb.arts06]

A large problem with MK characters is that they kill for the sake of torture really which kinda hurts their personality and just turns them into function characters. I want an MK where not all finishers are fatalities but rather one that just beats up the opponent. That way, we could get Ryu or pretty much every character. In the state MK is right now, in the future the guest spots will eventually run dry.

I think The Mask would be a phenomenal addition to the roster and I would love to see a character with toon force on the roster and see the wacky combos they’ve make for him and also the comics unlike the movies are actually quite violent and do not shy away from blood or gore and killing

[@dr.ninjake]

My personal ideal guest is definitely Vergil from Devil May Cry. DMC5 and MK1 are two of the most visually impressive games in their genres, the composer of Bury the Light worked on the soundtrack for MK1, Vergil’s lore and power set fit super well into the MK universe, and between weapon switching, devil Trigger, and concentration, he’s got potential to be the most technical and hype characters on the roster. The banter between him and Bi-Han would be PERFECT.

[@mark-gj4mb]

My only thing with DMC characters is that they only really work visually in games with lots of aerial play like obviously MvC or anime fighters. Having Vergil stay grounded is a little weird considering most of DMC is air combos and teleporting lmao

[@dr.ninjake]

@@mark-gj4mb I see your point, and I mostly agree, but considering how much other guests scale down compared to their source material, I think it’s acceptable, especially considering Omni-Man is pretending Johnny Cage could ever make him bleed

[@dr.ninjake]

But if that’s just too big a dealbreaker, I’ll say Travis Touchdown. His comedy would fit well with the MK cast, he’d have a really fun combination of swordplay and Mexican wrestling, and at least in NMH 1 & 2, he’s much closer to on par with the MK cast.

[@pootiscupcake8085]

Let's not forget the DMC reference when Kenshi says "Where's your motivation" when he wins a round. Vergil or Dante in MK would be lit.

[@rafaelcastor2089]

Conan The Barbarian would be an AWEASOME inclusion as a guest character. Same thing with Elric of Melniboné and Stormbringer.

[@cassex4415]

I think Art from the terrifier would be a pretty cool choice given the mysterious nature of his power and love of dismemberment wouldn’t be hard to get licensing too they don’t even need a voice actor

A really good one that is actually possible is either Batman who laughs OR Injustice Superman. They are both fine with ripping people apart, and I would want to see Injustice Superman vs homelander.

I think I'd prefer Ghost Rider as a skin for Scorpion sold as a bonus for buying deadpool (plus Elektra Skarlet and Wolverine Baraka) rather then his own character.

[@stephenjennings555]

Guts from Berserk would be a perfect addition to mk imo: Grappler who uses the sword like Kotal from mk11, crossbow with EX being the gun (maybe a popup). Fatality involving the God hand and another with the berserker armour

Someone asked Ed Boon to ad Guts in Mk1, and he responded: "I don't know who's this".

If Undertaker was in Mortal Kombat, he would have his own version of “toasty!” He would do one of his special moves and you’d hear Paul Bearer “OHHH YEEESSSSS”

[@mark-gj4mb]

One I would love to see again is Kratos. In MK9 he worked really well with that game's aesthetic and vibe, but new Kratos fits Liu Kang's new timeline really well too. Add an Atreus kameo in with him, his gear could be his axe or his blades (maybe as a pair), there's plenty of outfit ideas from the games themselves, and he's brutal enough and is a very experienced kombatant. Idk if repeats are even in the cards but I would love to see Kratos

[@Redfoxjack]

dude i can hear the voice line in my head Kratos: "much has changed about this realm sense last i visited" liu kang: "and much like your self it has changed for the better"

[@Sharky_0456]

I feel like Juri Han is insanely weird of a pick for the list and if they were to put an SF character as a Kameo or fighter Ryu would make a lot more sense. as he would have the same fireball but his shrunken and tatsumaki as well as his bounce kick would bring something new to the table for juri idk I think it would just feel like another Mileena but as I said ryu is kinda like liu kang so I guess that argument could go both ways

[@Gogurtbump]

Best ideas I've got are The Creeper from Jeepers Creepers; Kenshiro from Fist of the North Star; Travis Touchdown from No More Heroes; and maybe Ting from Ong Bak, but licensing with Tony Jaa might be hard to get

[@samuelsabourin342]

I 100% agree with wesker because like you said about popularity especially considering his fate in the r e franchise is currently unknown because there’s a lot of evidence to say he’s still around but a lot to say otherwise but I would argue that Derek Simmons from resident evil 6 is a better fit because he has more potential with combos than wesker because of his c virus mutation which allows him to morph his body matter into anything but both are good fit

[@ninjastreet5]

My joke pick would be Monika/Yuri from DDLC, that game doesn't shy away from unaliving someone so it is appropriate. Also the 4th wall break element would be really nice from Monika. My serious pick would be Raiden (the MGR version): has the same name as the other Raiden so it's cool (both has lightning, but this Raiden has lightning for effect only). I guess the only problem is that he would be a bit similar to Kenshi, but Raiden has multiple weapons at his disposal (Mistral's staff, Monsoon's parry sai, Sundowner's scissor blade) and the finisher could be MG Rex or Excelsus or he could just chop up the kombatants with zandatsu. He's appropriate, doesn't shy away from dismemberment, and really possible with a lot of movesets.

[@MrEMC_]

I know this is really late. But I think Travis Touchdown from the No More Heroes franchise would be a great addition given the mass amount of violence NMH has and the flashy wrestling moves that Travis has

Someone from Dead by daylight would not only be cool in terms of characters, but can be a bridge for NRS to obtain licenses like Michael Myers, Resident Evil, and other horror characters, it's mainly a personal want, but DBD in MK would be cool (and maybe we could get a MK chapter in DBD as well).

[@Fusrodog]

As a Riot follower, there is a dent in bringing in Jinx into the mix: Riot is already making their own fighting game and it'll be a little bit awkward to include her at the same time as her appearance in Project L. HOWEVER: It goes without saying that it isn't impossible to have another league rep be in MK1, hypothetically... yet, it's a toss up of who could realistically be in and who won't. Take for example, one of my favorite characters that actually would better fit in the setting: Jhin. He's got everything covered of what you'd want in a MK character and a little bit more. He's a serial killer, comes from a eastern-inspired Land, has fucking guns and gadgets like crazy, has a very charming personality, fatalities/brutalities can actually instead cause flowers and trees to grow out of the opponent instead of blood and gore (because murder is beautiful, apparently) and even brings fourth a possibly unique mechanic that relates to a certain number he obsesses over. Hell, he even had a history with using a Rapier at one point! Point being, its still a toss-up. I personally argue at best that with the existence of Project L, Jinx might bump down to ":/". (Fun fact: Apparently Riot is reworking lore to have everything they release in terms of media outside of skinlines to be canon, so... Apparently, Arcane is going to become canon and intertwined with the game lore.)

I once got a question on who I would add for Mortal Kombat, and my 3 choices were Punisher, Santa Claus, and O'saa, from Marvel, Chainsaw Man, and Fear & Hunger 2: Termina, respectively. (I didn't talk about any character already confirmed or rumored, such as Doom Slayer) I'm not the biggest fan of the Punisher, but he's an excellent fit with a massive cult following, although I would have chosen a symbiote over him in hindsight for a myriad of small reasons. I chose Santa Claus over Chainsaw Man because her fatalities would likely be more bizarre, but I feel that choosing a Fear & Hunger character already does that, and she just isn't as iconic as Denji himself. Although saying that Santa's in Mortal Kombat would be hilarious. I'm not replacing my desire for O'saa in Mortal Kombat. Using the power of eldritch gods of unspeakable horrors would make for some really great fatalities. Nothing is as brutal as blowing up people's limbs and getting them to VOLUNTARILY stop breathing. And it'd be similarly brutal for someone's face to get turned into a Francis Bacon self-portrait. I think my fourth option would be Nidus, from Warframe. Garuda is the obvious choice, since she's the blood Warframe, but the Infestation is some of the most gruesome body horror out there and Nidus's abilities would lend themselves nicely to both interesting gameplay and good fatalities. My new 3 choices would be Chainsaw Man, Nidus, and O'saa, with Venom as an honorable mention (solely because I don't like him as much)

[@captainbucket983]

I think Devilman could work in MK game since the manga is pretty brutal.

Even though it would be very cool to have someone like deadpool or the punisher in Mortal Kombat, js the fact that Netherream is owned by Warner Bros. meaning that would NEVER happen.
