Top 10 Characters that NEED to be in Mortal Kombat 12!

What characters do you want to see the most in MK12?!

[@Showtimejulii]

I want kratos

[@JaaronBrice]

Smoke

[@tytaylor1461]

You literally said all the characters i would've said. Maybe chameleon or khameleon

[@tytaylor1461]

@Slipstreamz that would be hella dope

[@3badthebad]

Homelander

[@irina1296]

Probably the best wishlist I've seen so far. I need Ashrah, Sareena, Niatara, Blaze, Havik, Khameleon so bad. Besides them I really miss Kurtis Stryker, Reiko, Taven, Kai, Mavado too

[@theoutlawking9123]

Stryker, Kai, Reiko for sure!

[@aryelrosa4829]

Stryker hasn’t been a playable character since MK9

[@wallcity318]

Kai and Havik for sure

Stryker needs to be redeemed fr.

[@theoutlawking9123]

@@Gen_IsANerd Right, I even had this idea when I thought he would appear in MK11: like they could give him a K-9 companion in one of his variantions that he could give commands to, to attack the opponent.

[@thunderbolte711]

I think we all can agree we want to see a lot more 3D era characters in the next game. Havik for sure I think he could be a formidable threat as he was in the comics, Khameleon because I want see another member of Reptile's race and another female ninja, and Ashrah because I think she has the most interesting story being a demon trying to cleanse her soul of evil and possibly lean into Asian folklore for her moveset.

Strongly disagree

Those Smoke designs look incredible. I'm hoping MK12 delivers a lot more in terms of single-player content.

[@holysaintknight343]

Shao Kahn, Sindel, Onaga are a must. Hotaru is a must since MK11 xD

[@mkfan6167]

We definitely need the majority of the Ninjas as well as 3d era characters like Havik, Hotaru, Drahmin, Kai, Sareena, Nitara, Ashrah, Li Mei etc

I really hope they go crazy on the designs like the AI generator does, they've been kinda doing more simplistic designs because of the gear system. I hope we get to see these characters in their best attire they've ever had.

Same the AI did good on Smoke designs especially 🥷💨💨😀👌🏽💯

[@dynasticgamez9059]

I’d like to see these characters come back 100% but I’d like to see even more. Such as tremor, cyrax, sektor, Tanya, reptile, ferra/torr, ermac, drahmin, shujinko, kung Jin.

[@KloverKhan]

i feel kinda bad for styker in mk 11 and 10 they focus so much on the special forces i really wonder why they didint bring him back in the game and give him some new gear it would have made since if he was one of the revenants revived in mkx to

[@jahdorose8659]

Reasons why they not using him anymore

[@E77A64]

He should return due to the timeline resetting where he works with Kabal as swats before Kabal gets burned by Kintaro

[@eatmyshorts2024]

They Need to put Shredder on the roster 😂 that would be so dope bro “The Shredder”

[@nicholastumlin4334]

The comic book darker version of shredder and his super shredder skin from TMNT 2 secret of the ooze

[@Rag3D3Lta]

Honestly i feel like every single character could come back since we are going back in time but since we are goibg to the time of The Great Kung Lao it would be cool to see a roster made of character from that era and it would also add character we havent seen before ever i think that would be pretty interesting to see surely there wasnt only Shang Tsung and Goro during that time

[@Gen_IsANerd]

It’d be cool to see Onaga, or Shao Kahn. Like, imagine if we got Shao Kahn BEFORE he was the emperor? Which would mean Onaga would be the emperor, I don’t remember if that would work in the timeline, though, but, maybe! And I’m just now realizing, would Liu Kang bring back Onaga and Shao Kahn? Eh, maybe.

[@gregpl9363]

Yeah had that theory about the great Kung Lao too. I think liu kang ( if aftermath is canon) will take him to a timeline back in the future (because of some disturbance within time) as one of the champions, maybe we’ll get to see both Kung laos interact with each other kind of like we saw with the others.

[@Dawavezay]

I really would like to see kenshi comeback such a cool character

[@rubentorres3426]

Nice list my personal Top 10 1.) Human Smoke 2.) Takeda 3.) Kenshi 4.) Havok 5.) Reptile 6.) Kung Jin 7.) Ermac 8.) Tremor 9.) Quan Chi 10.) Sareena

[@nerdsician3719]

Thank you for bringing up Hotaru! I always liked this character and not enough people talk about him.

[@donniehagy5125]

I liked his character but thought his moves were lacking.

[@christianmanka3884]

I would love the roster to include: Takeda, Erron Black, Khameleon, Jade, Tremor, Blaze, Skarlet, Ferra/Torr, Havok, Nitara, Onaga, Li Mei, Hydro, Kabal, and why not Drahmin while we’re at it. DLC: Batman or Red Hood, Constantine, Cole Young (Joke), Dark Khan (if possible)

[@CLC_2508]

Definitely tremor

[@donniehagy5125]

70 year old man here! I really enjoyed your selections, and agree with all of them except maybe one. So glad you stumped for Havik. So much potential there, and they've refused to do anything on him. Very tired of seeing Sub-Zero, Scorpion, Sonya Blade, Johnny Cage, and the robot ninjas. Hope we get our wish!🐝🐝🐝

[@VelocityRoss]

Smoke is all I need, idc who else in it

[@angelothompson186]

Smoke and Havok for me

[@StarKushExoticGalaxy]

Same

[@leoncooney400]

For Hotaru, the banners your talking about are called ( Sashimono ) they are war banners, attached to them as they go into battle. ( it's also where we get the word ( Sash ) the things worn in contest or ceremonies.

[@urboi4125]

Since MK12 is a reboot that is most likely gonna be set during The Great Kung Lao era, my top 10 returning characters would be: 1) Onaga - I think this is a no brainer. MK Deception was the first MK game I ever played and that intro cutscene really showed how strong he was. Taking on the combined forces of Raiden and The Deadly Alliance and then tanking Raiden's suicide bomb like it was nothing proved that he is arguably the strongest character in the Mortal Kombat universe. Yet somehow we haven't seen him since the original timeline. He was supposed to be in the MKX comics but the series was discontinued. The Dragon King's return is long overdue. And now that Fire God Liu Kang is the protector of Earth realm, I honestly believe Onaga is the only character that can rival Fire God Liu Kang in terms of strength and power and is the only character that would put up a good fight. 2) Shao Kahn - Now I know what you're thinking, we've had Shao Kahn countless times so why would we have him again? Well we have never seen the origins of Shao Kahn, only heard snippets of it. From what we know, before Shao Kahn became the emperor he served Onaga. Shao Kahn would then poison and betray Onaga to take his place as ruler of Outworld. I think it would be cool if we can finally see the back story and origins of one of the greatest villains in the Mortal Kombat universe. I'm thinking his character wouldn't be named Shao Kahn in game. He would be called something else and then maybe there's a plot twist or an after credit scene where his character claims the throne of Outworld and reveals his name after Onaga's death. Also, Shao Kahn as a playable character in MK11 was one of the most fun characters to play with the coolest looking moveset. 3) Takeda - I always thought that the Kombat Kids were dull and half of them were just a knock off version of their parents. Takeda is the only exception to this as he's actually interesting being the son of Kenshi and Scorpion's student. In this rebooted timeline, this version of Takeda wouldn't be one of the Kombat Kids. Since this game would be set during The Great Kung Lao era we would most likely see the game set in the past where we could potentially see the origins of the Shirai Ryu clan. If we look into the lore of Mortal Kombat, we can see that the founder of the Shirai Ryu was a warrior named Takeda. So essentially this version of Takeda would be the founder and would kinda replace Scorpion as the Shirai Ryu ninja in the game. That's not to say we won't get Scorpion though. We could see a role reversal from MKX where Takeda is training a young Hanzo Hasashi. 4) Tremor - He's a character that we know almost nothing about other than his involvement with the Black Dragon. I've always found him to be a cool character with a very interesting ability in his power to control the Earth. His MKX moveset was extremely fun to play and watch. It would be nice to see him return as the powerhouse he was and his character expanded in the story. 5) Smoke/Enenra - Smoke has always been a fan favourite character with a very flashy moveset. We need more ninjas in the MK games. Nowadays it's just Scorpion and Sub-Zero. We didn't even get Ermac or Reptile in MK11. I'd also like to see more about the smoke demon Enenra mentioned in the next game.

[@lsuchiha1652]

I hope the next MK game is very dark. The way MK should be

Human Frost, I hated they turned her into a cyborg. They got time travel, they can do it. I forgot about Nitara, she was really cool. Always Female Chameleon

Quan Chi needs to come back 💯 NO ONE shows him any love 💁🏽 There has to be a sorcerer in MK12 so
