Li Mei is certainly one of my favorite characters and is highly due for a comeback. They clearly have been thinking about her by putting her in backgrounds and that big role in MKX. If they really expanded on her MKD fatality and give her a super quick pressure point striking rushdown style and even can go further and make her a contortionist because of her carnival kick move. I always compare her to women we see in classic Wuxia films like Michelle Yeoh in Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon especially since we don’t have a character of that vibe right now, I even think of Ty Lee and Mai from Avatar when I think of comparisons or Neji and Hinata from Naruto. Can take her the route of young upcoming champion like she was before or the MKX route of a wise leader of her village with experience behind her. Her brief appearance in MKX actually had a lot of vharm to her they even gave her a fun dry sense of humor when it came to her basically making fun of Johnny lol. There’s also tons of weapons they could experiment with and I do believe wind and fire wheels could work amazingly on her or even smaller hidden weapons to keep a low profile protecting her village would be really neat too. I just really fell for this character growing up I always have a soft spot for the tragic character types. Plus her aesthetic in general is extremely appealing for me. It’s a shame she keeps getting completely shat on! Also people seem to forget the ONLY REASON SHE TURNT EVIL IN MK DECEPTION was because her soul was partially transferred to the soldier, Bo’ Rai Cho showed up a bit too late.

Here are some ideas on how to fix some of the 3D era Black and Red Dragon characters: Kobra - Emphasise his brutal kickboxing style and maybe give him a hidden boot blade that can inject the opponent with poison. Also I’d have him use something like a spiked bat as a weapon as well. Kira - Make her a heel wrestler who turned to crime after stabbing her rival to death in a match. This way her moveset has a core theme “being women’s wrestling” and she isn’t just a Sonya x Kano clone. I got the idea of making her a wrestler from Sonya’s old kiss move that Kira then stole. It reminds me of a cheating technique used by heel wrestlers when they spit out mist in their opponents faces to blind them. She could also incorporate her knife play into her wrestling like getting the opponent in a chokehold before stabbing them in the stomach multiple times. Jarek - Make him the Black Dragon’s main arms dealer with a moveset that utilises all sorts of illegal technology like lasers, landmines, chemical weapons and molotov cocktails. He could also keep his lasso but with more unique techniques rather than just the standard scorpion spear. Personality wise, he sees himself as an important part of the Black Dragon and sees Kano as his equal but after briefly being unable to his job after sustaining an injury he is shocked to find that the syndicate has been running fine in his absence, with him being replaced by a much more competent dealer. He wishes to move back up in the ranks and prove himself. Hsu Hao - Have Hsu Hao be this mighty warrior that didn’t realise a war he was fighting in was being profited off by the Red Dragon. One fateful day he falls in battle and is revived by the Red Dragon at the cost of needing a cybernetic heart to survive and now he feels loyal to the red Dragon thanks to them reviving him but he also despises having to live with the reminder of his initial defeat in the form of his new heart. As for his moveset, What if he was a stance change character who had the option to take his heart implant out, increasing his speed and giving him more specials and strings based on Mongolian wrestling but at the cost of beginning to take damage over time before he puts it back in. With the heart he could have lasers, his old bouncing projectile, a move that draws the opponent towards him, an energy ball trap, the option to charge up his specials to make them stronger and maybe some Senator Armstrong inspired moves that use nano machines to harden his body and armour through attacks like Zangief’s V-Skill. Mavado - Get rid of the Hookswords and replace them with regular dual swords but Keep his spiked boots and grappling hooks. Play up his arrogant personality by giving him a bullfighter theme, using flashy swordplay and utilising his black cape in an “Ole!” style counter. I get that in order to fix some of these characters you need to give them stuff that Kano already uses in MK11. This actually highlights a small problem I’ve had with some character’s movesets as of late. It feels like Netherrealm keep cramming movesets with unnecessary things that don’t fit the character. For example, Johnny Cage’s most famous line is that people assume he uses special effects but he IS the special effects, yet in MK11 he uses stunt doubles and cameras . Sure Kano fights dirty and I can definitely see him bringing in hidden knives but there are more than one way to fight dirty. Kano seems more like a “kick em while they’re down” ,poke them in the eyes and bring a knife to a martial arts tournament kinda guy not a “Random Bullshit, Go!” kinda guy, y’know? Also Kano LITERALLY STOLE HSU HAO’S DRIP. That is all.

Jarek - give him back his axe but with a chain attached this time(to compensate for the lasso). given that his main colour is bronze which is close brass, make him the brass bull(executioner) of the black dragon and make him smoke and exhale through his nose to mimic bulls. The bull theme would go very well with Mavado.

These are good ideas. I also had some gameplay ideas. Li Mei: giving her extremely fast attacks, incredibly flexible and acrobatic moves and have her utilize pressure point attacks/parries based on her deception fatality where she can stop an Opponent from either punching, kicking, jumping or doing specials. Ashrah: giving her specials with a voodoo doll based on her fatality, her sword and also ofuda (A mystic item) which would suit her a lot. Drahmin: Give him an array of torturous weapons/specials since he is a tormentor of hell. Also give him specials where he takes his mask off and goes berserk and gains new attacks and goes ham on the opponent. Kai: I think his gameplay is fine, just add more capoiera styled moves. Sareena: in her human form idk what powers to give her but I think she should have a kusarigama, that weapon that looks like a scythe but it's on a chain. Also let her have specials where she can turn into her demon form and give her demonic abilities. Majority of the 3d era could definitely be revamped and reach their potential gameplay wise if they were actually brought back.

I wrote this a while back. It was reimagining of Ashrahs story, combining her old story with some new elements making her a "religious zealot." Sorry if it's long: A demon of the Netherrealm, Ashrah found a chance at redemption when she stumbled upon a mystical sword she called the Kriss. With each slain demon, Ashrah felt the sword cleansing her soul, purifying it, and soon she was freed from the Netherrealm's grasp thanks to this sacred sword. But, in actuality, this was no holy sword. This was the infamous sword known as the "Datusha" and it craved one thing: Blood. Whoever wields the Datusha becomes entranced by it, worshipping it, and blinded to do its bidding. Ashrah was freed from the Netherrealm, not by virtue, but by corruption. The sword has manipulated Ashrah into cleansing the realms of "sin" so her soul would be purified enough to elevate her above even the heavens themselves. But "sin" comes in many forms and the sword cares not for who's blood it absorbs. Demon...or otherwise. Sadly, Ashrah is not purifying her soul as she believes, but rather securing her place in the Netherrealm with each slain innocent body. Should she meet her demise, the souls of those slain by the sword will forever torment Ashrah as she descends into a darker, more wretched plane of the Netherrealm for all eternity. And the cycle will repeat itself once more as the sword will find a new host. One that can satisfy its neverending quench for blood.

Tsu hao was my favorite DA character style wise. Personally I’d love a armegeddon 2 with a updated roster

(I’m not a huge fan of mk11) if she could have a slightly more varied style, like maybe some more “face to face” options then maybe I’d like her more but in the end I had no desire to play her and just set her to ai in the arcade ladder.

@@antonybraus325 her design was pretty cool (though I like some of her concept art more) I know about her wind mixup, I’m just partial to characters that can get long combos like noob, scorpion, liukang and Kung Lao.

Kira. She suffered greatly from being TWO characters that didn't appear in Deception. I believe everyone who wants to see her again agrees she needs a moveset overhaul. While her character as a concept isn't itself bad, she was done dirty by the developers because of the narrative demise of several legacy characters in Deception.
@darthmeticulous6901 Жыл бұрын
I always refer to Kira as “That hot redhead who’s the lovechild/fusion of Kano and Sonya.” As for Kobra, “That guy who’s the love child/fusion of Ken Masters and Johnny Lawrence with a bit of Draco Malfoy’s attitude.” Also, a wannable evil Johnny Cage. Not gonna lie, Kira ALWAYS annoyed me because of the fact that multiple times in MKD’s Konquest you fight her… while bleeding out. This stipulation is already bad enough, but the majority of the time it is against such a lame character only makes it worse. Sure, you have one of those against Shang Tsung, Mileena, Kobra, Baraka and Havik, a couple against Sindel, but for Kira it’s three fights. In fact, there’s only ONE fight against Kira in MKD’s Konquest that ISN’T a “defeat her before you bleed to death,” it’s in Edenia. But guess what? That fight forces you to somehow beat her… in 15 seconds (the game also throws this same stipulation against Ermac in Orderrealm, yet it never seems as irritating). Even worse than the Kobra one in Edenia, where you must do it in 30 seconds and you do only half damage. So yeah, they’re both lame and annoying, but to me Kira was more annoying one and Kobra was the lamer-designed one. So it becomes a “pick your poison,” kind of choice with those two.

Coming back to this after M1K’s release, I find it hilarious how much of this has dated either very well or very poorly. Li Mei is back as an actual character with a real story. Darrius is at least in as a Kameo. Kai is mentioned in an intro, potentially for some manner of setup with him in the future. And your prediction about Dairou was actually very true; his name and story has been given to Havik, which means the separate character in the way he existed prior is never coming back.

Li Mei's kind of an interesting case with all the things that happened with her: Deadly Alliance: Yeah, she died, for maybe like half a second before Bo'Rai Cho saved her. The short contact with Onaga's army corpse sort of raised her fighting spirit and loyalty to Outworld. Deception: I'll admit, I really hated this ending too when I was younger, because I really do like Li Mei as a character. Years later...it KINDA makes sense? Again, the transfer to that corpse for like a microsecond likely instilled some loyalty in Onaga, the ruler of Outworld. MKX: Because of all the changes made to the timeline, Li Mei never gets a chance to train to fight, because it was Shujinko that trained her as the events of Deadly Alliance was happening. She basically beat up Kano, gets invited to the fake tournament, then Shujinko offers to train her to fight to enter it. Because there's no Deadly Alliance with Shang Tsung's death and transfer into Sindel, there's no enslaving of her people, and she never has a reason to ever fight. I STILL don't understand why she's basically evil in Battle of the Realms, though. Or why she's fighting in the events of MK2. Also should have mentioned her being the first casualty in Armageddon. THERE'S some disrespect.

As for Taven, the fact that he's an Edenian demi-god who is on Earth Realm is interesting and although he was mentioned in Kenshi's MK10 ending and seen in MK9 during Raiden's Flashback, he's not really in any of the games. I'd love to see him make a return. It also doesn't hurt that I named my dog Ashrah and my cat Taven (they seemed to live up to those names).

Losers only hate Kobra because he was easy to use so their mains got defeated by a bunch of newbies choosing the Ken look-alike, I have no evidence but also no doubts. More seriously I actually think that if any character has a chance of coming back is him, this is based entirely on the fact that "Cobra Kai" is a hit so someone at Netherrealm is probably thinking that maybe they could capitalize on it by bringing him back while voiced by William Zabka.

Or better yet he should have some of Liu Kang's combos which could be fiery ones with his!! Like have both in one fighter like the Great Kung Lao! But have it as temporary as a brutality and causing double damage as well as lasting damage from his Burns!! Anything!!
