#Mortal Kombat 1

The biggest benefit I can think of, is the avoidance of ninja musical chairs
Imagine trying to explain that, Noob used to be Subzero and the current Subzero is actually the brother of the first Subzero, but you don't really know which game is which
Sure, fans will know it, but it's confusing af if you're getting into the lore
but its not that confusing
It is
Nobody is going to play mk9 lol it's a 10+ year old game
Yah but this one is cuter so it’s alright
and in intros Sonya asks "you used to be the original Sub zero?"
its really not that confusing
the only time Kuai Liang wasnt the main subzero was mk1 and mythologies
and now mk1 (2)
It kinda is. You have to think of it with the perspective of a non-fan, someone who's getting into the stories
okay so say you are a new fan
I know because I had to explain to my friends who are playing the game
telling your buddy "Noob used to be the OG Sub Zero" is just a cool fun fact
And also I am fairly new because I only played mk11 and watched the other games as playthrough
its not at all needed to know to follow the game
Noob is Sub Zeros brother
thats all you need to really know
And then they watch the movie get confused lol
i really dont see how thats confusing but now that Kuai Liang being Scorpion isnt
Because it's a reset
Tbf we don’t even know if noob exists in this new era. As of now it’s always been the older brother of subzero who became noob, but they might make hanzo noob for all we know
To you
how is it not Lazy
It might be interesting to others
Yes exactly. I think it's not lazy
how is it not lazy
Maybe it gives them a chance to explore more of an identity for noob making it someone not tied to subzero
youre just playing, what you said earlier, musical chairs with your ninjas
There's no musical chairs in this timeline, if subzero stays subzero, scorpion stays scorpion, and noob stays noob
okay but you cant just act like this timeline doesnt follow mk11
MK11 doesn’t exist
no matter how Boon says "its a whole new timeline" it still follows 11
but thats straight up wrong
Kang in this game is the Kang from mk11
thats been confirmed
We know mk11 was a thing but now it’s pretty much what the 3D era was to us at the beginning of the NRS era
It doesn't matter because mk11 is an alternate universe at this point
And it starts a new era lol
it still follows the story of mk11
An alternate universe means that the rules are different now
youre not getting what im saying
just because Noob being Sub Zero was always a thing in this era doesnt mean in the actual timeline he was
I get it, but also it means new players don't need to catch up on mk9-11 lore to understand mk1
doesnt help that Bi Han himself was in mk11
I didn't know jack about the original timeline and it doesn't concern me because mk9-11 is a contained story
we know that the game has a endgame style ending so you will need to know mk11 anyways
which is why im saying this reset was dumb
This is exactly why they do it. They can obtain a new marketplace with new players without them needing to know anything that happened before
Exactly how can people not understand it?
its a contained story that doesnt even follow its own lore and story lol
It’s extremely common
They don't need to follow something when they explicitly say they're throwing away the old lore into an alternate timeline/universe that doesn't concern the current one
Sure they can make reference to it
But it'll be like how Kenshi makes reference to Snowblind. It's an alternate timeline
In what way? Not much tbh. For all we know this Liu Kang could've experienced thousands of timelines before mk1
Mortal kombat has pretty much become an anthology franchise where they have all these alternate universes set in eras and they don’t connect with one another
im not going to go into spoilers
but in a big way
No go ahead
Ed boon has already said in interviews this era is it’s own thing so
the end of the game is ||a bunch of multiverse shenanigans with the old timeslines||
So it's still multiverse then
yeah
thats why i think its dumb to even do a reset
either keep it a reset or stick with the old timeline
So yeah I don't see the issue if this is a different universe/timeline than mk11
now we get a game that doesnt know what it wants to do
You mean the ending of mk11 or mk1?
We don’t know that though just yet, don’t be pessimistic
mk1
How do you know lol
They could pull it off we just have to wait and see
So they converged the timelines. Tbh I don't see why that's an issue
youre saying you can play this game with no knowledge of the old ones and thats sadly wrong
the ending will not make sense if you only play this one
Even if not, people play story mode once and then play their favorite characters for years to come forgetting the story and focusing on gameplay
It’s a fighting game not a storytelling game
You said this is the reason why the change is lazy right?
my favorite character isnt a dude who dealing with a disease
Most people don’t give a rats ass about the lore they just want to rip opponents apart
Especially the casual general players
if you make Hanzo Noob then what does that make "Noob" exactly
just a title you can slap on anyone?
whats the interest with that?
Well I can use an analogy. In one universe Peter Parker is spiderman, in the other universe it's Miles Morales. In one universe Hanzo is Scorpion, in another universe it's Kuai Liang
Same thing applies for Noob
Because this Noob has a different origin, we don't even know his story yet
but all universes with Miles always had a Peter tbf
How do you know it's all universe?
The issue you’re having with this is you are making the assumption everyone thinks and agrees with what you think is best for the game. You’re extremely opinionated and there’s nothing wrong with that but you have to understand that other people can have varying opinions that differ from your own
i mean i am opinionated sure
I can tell you’re young lol
im 22
Exactly
🍿
i asked what is cool with the idea that Noob is Hanzo now and i get "because people dont agree with you"
then a hamfisted age insult
Like I said, nothing wrong with being how you are, you just gotta be open to the idea of others having different viewpoints 😂😂
but you arent giving me your viewpoint
If we make a Gwen spiderman, or Miles spiderman, or Miguel or Uncle Ben or whoever spiderman, what's the point of spiderman?
I don’t really have one?. I virtually know nothing about this game (9 weeks away too lmao) so I can’t form anything yet because they have given me nothing to base that on
We don't know because we haven't seen the story and cannot judge
im talking if it was past Hanzo being Noob
But the same question could be how does Gwen Stacy being spiderman enhances Spiderman?
diversity
It was just giving an example, but if they write it well enough and can sell it to me, so be it.
Objectively, it doesn't. It's just a retelling of a story of spiderman, on a different character and a different origin. And that in itself can be interesting or boring
Exactly
the best thing about Miles is that he mostly helps around black communitys and is THEIR Spider-Man
I’m optimistic and open minded for what NRS can do this new era, we just have to wait and see what they deliver to us
admittedly i know very little about Spider Gwen or Spider-Man 2099
If I don’t like well guess what? I have 30 years of others mk games to play lol
ill still play the game cus the gameplay is great
but ive mostly loved mk for its lore and story
Same too
i think me growing up with the 3d era was a blessing and a curse
It is, if you're not open-minded to changes
i love the NRS games
The 3D era 🥹 I’m so fucking excited to see how they improve on those beloved characters
im way more lax on changes than most people
It’s insane most of those characters were only in 1-2 games and are so beloved
even if it doesnt seem so here
alot of changes they make in the NRS era annoy me but doesnt bother me all too much
I know how it feels. I've experienced games for 10+ where I feel sad about them rebooting. It feels like they're throwing the old things away
But eventually I understand
The game will already be a 10/10 when the single players doesn’t have the modifier bullshit
for me ive loved a character for most of my life and now hes a STD
its that stuff that actually frustates me
same with MK11 Frost
Maybe if you’re nice we will give you the tarkat
im grateful that hes seemingly in the game
and ive seen some good theorys id love to see
But he's only a disease in this timeline. He's not a disease in others
but i just know NRS is going to make him a monster with no lore and probably dumb
sigh
idk
I do like the whole new shark idea giving two rows of teeth
Where you found this lol
i think that should be exclusive to Mileena
Oh lord it was months ago I have no idea where it’s from now I just know it was merch to promote the game from some country
it was a special edition for some country
Autocorrect be kicking my ass tonight 😩
Now I see the store and it only has boring t-shirts lolol
it was a preorder reward
I kinda not want to pre-order because I dislike Liu Kang merchs lol
i preordered the deluxe edition
Ngl this is not bad for a t-shirt
i adore MK and im sure there will be a ton of shit i enjoy
but the Baraka thing just stings
i think the roster is fantastic
I haven’t preordered yet because I literally know nothing of this game besides a kameo system lol
but theres a chance this could be a godlike roster filled with different versions i dont like
Like what are the other modes?? We are 9 weeks away from launch and that’s not including the beta in august which could be as close as 3 weeks away for all we know
NRS marketing strikes again
Their marketing sucks ass
i really think people are getting themselfs to excited for a Konquest mode
Tbh I might just pre-order anyway and cry when there's no Jade
Even though I have very little hope these days
Jade will be a kameo don’t worry
lol
It's going to sting as much as baraka to you
Unpopular opinion but Kameo sucks
Jade will be eventual dlc
The whole thing is jarring af
She sells
id rather not have Baraka then him be completely shit
Don’t worry she will eventually make the game
I understand Kameo from a gameplay perspective but from an aesthetic perspective? It's the stupidest thing ever
But by r00000r saying she’s not in the story mode there’s like a 5% she’s base roster
You underestimate my simpery
Idk the latest trailer had me a bit more excited for it, did you see scorpion use his spear to pull subzero backwards?
i just find it weird that shes the only edenenian not in the game
Yes but retro characters and new design mesh up together is still a jarring image
i think its fine
It stings
as long as we get get those skins as playable
Bruh no
Jades fans are a very vocal minority. No offense to you Lin. I think Jade is fine but she doesn’t compete on the levels of Mileena deranged crew.
Unpopular opinion but I hate retro skins
Boon said she was not popular in mk9
Nor do I want to pull that stunt Mileena fans did lol
they brought her back in mk11 and shes not in mk1?
Ohh you mean aesthetically only?
idk i just dont think shes as popular as people think
Yes
kameos are getting skins
Hopefully
Depending on how modern
That’s just for nostalgia but I can see where you are coming from
They will sell skins for kameos though so don’t you worry 🥲
Yeah sure take my money (if it's good)
i think Cyrax, Sektor, and Frost look really good
Ideally, they'd have mk1 skins for kameo, so at least some kameo won't look weird in a fight with mk1 characters
She’s not even one of the NRS employees QA Stephanie said she didn’t even like Jade until mk11
Mk11 Jade did have a glowup
I'm not arguing that she has a huge fanbase lol
I mean before mk11 Jade was literally just “Kitana’s bodyguard/friend”
sure but Smoke is that in mk9 but he was awesome
They gave her a little bit more of an identity but they also fucked it up by trying that love angle with Kotal
Tbh I never liked most characters until mk11
Literally nobody cares about that lol.
doesnt help that they completely ruined Kotal
I never saw one praise of “thank god they gave insert character here a love interest”
And I did watch mkx as before I played mk11. I never liked them until mk11. Especially Kung Lao. His design was ass and tbh kinda...racist imo
I mean in mkx
But in mk11 they finally gave him a glow up and he looks better than ever
Baraka and Mileena id actually like tbh
I just pulled mkx and mk9 out of storage today. Ironically planned on playing the 3D era-NRS era story mode again for fun 😂
but yeah like i said earlier
Also dusted off the good ol PlayStation 2 while I was there lol
i saw some theorys that was like "Baraka gets infected with the Tarkat disease by never leaving Mileenas side" and i think the idea of Knight Baraka is really cool
Lmaoooo
That's true though
Like this ain’t that kinda game 💀
i think Johnny and Sonya was done well
But they divorced
but their relationship was still good
Do people even really care for the Kitana/ liu Kang thing? Or do they just want to play as them to rip the other apart lol
Lmao
i like that Johnny wasnt a deadbeat dad
and actually matured
i think mk11 Kitana and Liu Kang was very cute
way better than Kotal and Jade
Johnny/sonya is the only relationship that matter because it had a consequence: Cassie and the birth of kombat kids that played a major role in the NRS era
Every other relationships is null if it does not affect the storyline and if they can sell it to the player base
I think having Sindel and Shao an evil power couple actually makes the retcon worth it
MK11 Kitana and liu Kang was awkward. These grown men programmed them to have a weird high school crush on each other. The most they ever do is hug. It was cringy lol
I was one of the few who digged the retcon for Sindel lol
i think looking back at mk11 i will say
they really made the female characters very bland looking
then you have Sindel and Cetrion being very uh busty
its just kinda weird
i def think mk1 looks much better costume wise
Sindel has always been bustier so it fits her
sure but her daughter is flatter than cardboard xD
That kombat league skin really did the player base in lmao
Just because they're adults doesn't mean they can't have cute crushes lol, especially if you haven't experienced romances in hs phase. Liu Kang is a monk so yeah
Which would go against everything he stood for as a monk if you think about it
They have no sexual desires
i dont think thats ever implied or said
They kinda do, but they choose not to act upon it. It's like choosing to be vegan
But then Liu Kang just decided to say f*ck it and start dating. And it's not like the senior monks are alive to stop them anyway 
Yeah they can’t act on it or else they would not be allowed to be a monk
Kinda like nuns
True but who's gonna kick them out lol
Devoting yourself to some higher power and never being allowed to act on mortal pleasures
Idk the elder gods we hear so much bout? 😂
They dieded except for one
i just hope we get Shinnok again
How's that flat lol
Cetrion is the worst elder god they’ve ever created “she’s a goddess of virtue” oh but also she loves to do whatever her mother says to do even though it goes against everything virtuous. Like oh okay
meant booty
but yeah i dont have a problem with the females models
but their costumes are pretty boring
Kitana looks the worst she ever has in mk11 costume wise
Her mk1 is such a glow up it’s not even funny
id agree if mk9 didnt exist
Mk9 is literally a stripper lol
So glad boon has said they’re never doing that again
Yeah lmfao
Kitana isnt even the worst example tbh
Mileena was garbo
she looks so much better in mk1 as well
Mileena’s flesh pit costume literally made my jaw drop in a way they did not want
But Jade 😍
I was like why am I fighting a naked Mileena lol
i wish i was
If they give Jade a bit more coverage her mk9 look could be really nice
Although I don’t get the useless chains everywhere but I guess it’s just for aesthetic purposes lol
I’m just glad they figured out the hair tech
Not everyone has to have bobs or updos anymore
Except subzero and scorpion for some reason
Her outfit is like a perfect balance of elegant assassin and ornate. I like how her hood looks and her hairstyle
I lowkey think most of the earlier female outfits are trash lol it's like tacky stripper outfit or some sexy halloween costume you wear to some seedy party
This is good lol what you on about
It's not too decorated and not too bland
Now if only they could get the hair tech from tekken 8 Lili
And this one is a bunch of clothes stuck together and painted green except less fabric lol
her torso alone has more personality than the mk11 skin lol
she looks like a LOTR elf
Literally no LotR elf dress like that
Boner culture was crazy back in the day 😂😂 they had all these “assassin/ninja/bodyguard” type of females fighting in skimpy attire or even bikinis Lolol
Tanya looked good atleast
I thought you mean the MKD outfit. I meant that no elf dress like that lol
oh
Unless you're looking up some LotR videos on a site that's black and orange 
Ngl they should have the male ninjas in skimpy speedo
They do for other fighting games lol
This is the most hilarious sentence I've seen today and we need to star it lolol 
What was the point of the add-on skirt I still want to know
i actually like the skirt tbh
I just don’t understand what purpose it serves it’s not connected to the bodysuit lol
Idk but, maybe because I'm ace (asexual). I don't think that showing skin = more attractive
rule of cool
That’s not just an asexual thing don’t worry
tbh i dont really care much about fanservice
i dont need mk to go back to the days of mk9
but like MK11 Mileena doesnt look good
Nope leave that in the past please lol
Give me designs that actually make sense to fight in
A speedo
I will say my one nitpick with mk1 Kitana is wtf are her heels. How can you even walk on that point lol
i dont really want this tbh
It’s like walking on a curved blade
For someone asexual you sure are uh 👀
This is peak performance lolol
Ehhhh I’m indifferent. He never sold me his character. His protagonist was not likable in the least
Such a strange design choice lol
Did they ever say what race he was now
i think its his best design
This is gonna be a loooonnggg week of waiting with no mk1 news 😩 Ed’s gonna make it all mk2 movie news with him being there currently
ik its kinda shitty to say
but im really glad the roster got leaked
other wise this wait would be completely unbearable
We would literally be dying otherwise lol
like we have a good idea what next week will reveal and its still exciting!
Now it’s just the wait of “is this leak real, let’s see some concrete proof the 3D era is here”
There’s always doubt until you see it revealed
They could’ve switched up the roster more than we know of
All we have to go off of is a leak people saw months to a year ago
yeah like for Example Baraka is the only leaked character that could not be in the game
since Rain was confirmed, we know about General Shao, and we hear Geras in the trailer
the 19 are for sure in imo
but the other 4 was 50/50
The bio for rain was a good step in the leak’s direction forsure
it would be my luck that the one i want the most of the 4 dont make it
hell Rain alone was a good step xD
actually the fake leak had General Shao
Like I want the leaks to be real obviously but it’s kinda like the feeling of no way this is gonna be real?? I’m actually going to see this character after 17 years
Too good to be true feeling lol
I think Ashrah is the biggest surprise
She was a pretty unique character move play wise and im excited to see her expanded upon
I’m just glad we aren’t getting the mk9 roster again and they’re giving the 3D era a chance to shine
My thing is what's the point of bringing them back if you're gonna completely change em
I don’t think they’ll do that, but will build off what they had and just expand on it in a certain direction
If they take a character that had something unique about them and changed them into something entirely new that would defeat the purpose of what the original design brought
Like if they take away Nitara’s wings and she’s not a vampire why even say that’s still Nitara
That would be like removing Mileena’s teeth
I have no doubt lol
Will say it's kind weird the characters they have revealed and who they haven't
You'd think characters like Baraka and Reptile they'd have shown off already
And Smoke and Rain saved till later
I don't think so
I think they're saving characters like Shao, Havik, and Reiko till the end
Will say if they just reveal one character Friday NRS sucks lool
It will hopefully be another trailer featuring a group
Like edenians or Outworld or 3D returns
ashrah dont look like no villain tho
what
WAIT
quan chi and Ermac arent making it ???
We don’t know
Some people are saying that King Jerrod could be Havik
God no
No like Havik is disguised as him
Kung Lao looks like a downgrade version of MK11 ngl
i think its likely they are refering to characthers that have never been an nrs game
or revamped versions
they are dlc so no 😭
so they will be in the game?
aparently by rooor whos the most reliable person vs the amazon leak of the dlc
who has the script of the story and was shocked to see ermac and quanchi as dlc
they are probably in a similar situation to mkx tanya and boraicho
mk11 sheeva @brave olive
present in the story as npcs, but made dlc for ... reasons?
methinks they realized a kombat pack with sonya kano takeda as the mk characthers wouldnt sell for shit
lol
ofc grain of salt but i think its an educated guess
we dont know two slots but its beyondf likely kano and sonya will be in because they are like a bad cold sore that just wont go away
Ermac confirmed
NOOO
popularity and moveset wise yeah, but her design and story was one of the most interesting in the 3d era imo- most 3d era women have different color bikinis, so she stood out because of that. nitara is the least surprising though cuz she just LOOKS cool, they dont have to do much to revamp (no pun intended) her. But I totally agree with ur point about not bringing them back just to completely change them, i know this is a new era and all but like... i want to see the characters i know and love not the same name applied to someone completely different. im just hoping theyre recognizable at least, cuz im sure theyll have wild stories since the current head writer doesnt seem to care abou tht e existing lore. (sindel look bad she must be evil type of bs)
Shokans seeing Sheeva laying (dead?) on the ground in front of Sindel, blindly believing her that Kitana did it, and reuniting an entire army to fight the Special Forces in the span of hours during Aftermath was so stupid
Maybe Shokans don't have too high IQ because they're naturally strong lol
Well this is bad
Comic con reveal might get cancelled
With the sag-aftra strike going on it effects voice actors
And Yuri has changed his name on Twitter
Good for him
I’m going to guess they will drop the trailer as planned but all the voice actors who were supposed to be there and surprise guests will not attend
Actually video games might be excluded from this
Or maybe a white ninja with the power of magnetism and metal?
Maybe Khrome. Maybe not Khrome. Maybe Metallik. Or something cool and metal-related.
For those of you asking, yes, I’ll be attending the SM2 and the MK1 panels at SDCC. I wholeheartedly support the strike and my fellow SAG-AFTRA and WGA members, but the interactive (video game) contract is not a subject of the strike… yet.

GET OMNI MAN, PEACEMAKER AND HOMELANDER OUT OF THE DLC..
NRS literally out here adding the most useless and floppy, overrated and mediocore characters ever 💀
bland ahh mfs
I don't care about Peacemaker but Omni-Man and Homelander are sick
Plus we're getting Quan Chi Ermac and Takeda which is a W
I know the only W in DLC 💀
No
Boring taste..
They're like super man from walmart, poorly written and are copies
Just because my taste is different than yours doesn't make mine "boring" that's a very immature way of defending your point
I wonder how they gonna explain Takeda lol
(not tryna make a connection abt superman)
He's probably Hanzo
Takeda isn't a title
DLC aint canon
It might be now
We dont know if Takeda 1 or 2 is gonna get added
That's like Johnny being a title lol
Did you forget about the Aftermath expansion
That's not what i mean omg
NAURRR
THATS A DIFF ONE
But yeah most of the DLC aint canon rlly
like mileena
Definitely what it looked like
I'm gonna main Homelander and laser beam spam people just to spite the KP1 haters
I agree that they're too similar to be included in the same game
so i could care less, Also we have no female guest character
Ong
Also sorry if i sound rude that's just how the way i talk 😭
no
why do people misuse the word title lol
a title can be passed down
Noob Saibot and Takeda are not titles
Nightwolf and Kahn are titles
because they can be passed down after someone already with that title dies
e.g. in the midway era if Bi-Han died as Noob Quan Chi wouldn't find another person to resurrect and call Noob
Do you watch either of those shows? Their designs/costumes are facades. They’re meant to invoke the design of early Superman costumes because Vought and Omniman himself respectively are trying to sell that benevolent do-folder protector persona to the general public to hide their true sadistic and sinister natures
The only criticism I understand to some degree is “why would you have two different evil Supermen parodies from the same streaming service in the same Kombat pack,” I can understand that criticism (although I also would argue that it’s awesome that they get to fight against each other) but the criticism of “their visual design is too bland” is not really applicable IMO. And if you really delve into their personalities and motivations they’re not actually that similar besides their powers and having Superman-based costumes despite being evil
Omniman is more of a Genghis Kahn type pretending to be a hero of the people on his own while Homelander is essentially Joffrey Baratheon if he was in Superman’s body while being protected by an evil corporation
“why would you have two different evil Supermen parodies from the same streaming service in the same Kombat pack,”
even this critism makes no sense and is very reductive
only homelander is an evil superman
Omni man or homelander should be a skin for one another
no
Both have different moves
exactly lol
omni-man cant use laser beams from his eyes
also the two havve very different personalities
Thoughts on Human Reptile coming back?
Considering the change to the other ninjas we had, I could see them making Reptile human again. But idk, it just feels kinda wrong.
The personality thing is whatever, they can do full diff VAs for particular skins
But doing a guest skin for a guest of a whole diff franchise won't fly
Hopefully he doesn’t
i hope kelly hu voices li mei or ashrah
i dont think theyd make an anouncement if she was just going back to voicing sindel, and mara junot´s incarnation of her got universal acclaim
especially since it would also sorta be in poor taste 😭
Maybe Quan Chi likes calling people n00b
Yeah i don't think Kelly Hu will do Sindel either
Comic con reveal is safe for now
when is it
next friday
no im asking will there be another reveal trailer
similiar to the one we had with smoake and rian
yes there is
with Kelly Hu
who plays mkx sindel, Dvorah, and Ashrah in the new movie
Oh?
Game
Idk if anyone has talked about this but there was apparently a leak for evo trailers https://staticg.sportskeeda.com/editor/2023/07/92c05-16889836520997-1920.jpg
I wish i could go to sdcc but i live in northern California now RIP
Oh Dvorah. That's cool
most likely fake
^
Doesn’t add up unless it’s Tanya as the only roster character and the other two are cameos
And why wouldn’t a “femme fatale” trailer include Nitara
mortal Kombat 1 full roster leak
Wym
There's still 2 slots left
Super fake, Disney domination gives it away
very much fake
kira and dvorah are naur goes
why would genshin be at evo
and mihoyo´s security is papper thin everything they do is leaked MONTHS in advanced on several platforms
Mortal Kombat 1 should have standard classic 1v1 mode by default
Or you could just not use kameos
Thats pratically impossible
Kameos are whats replacing variants, characthers blantantly do not work beyond a couple of routes witout them
And i dont see them having a secret folder of 3 special moves, forward throw and the other half of the fatal blow
Laying around
Its just not realistic accept the kameos
I think they might, kinda got teased in Kombat kast intro
it won't
they have said time and time again that kameos are integral to the game
there will be no classic 1v1 mode
They can always change their mind, btw every 2nd intro to Kombat kast was just characters by themselves without kameos
It's almost like the devs have the devs tools
They wouldn’t of done that for no reason
i mean intros and outros i can see having an option witout the kameos to clog up the screen
but gameplay wise, impossible
I dunno
A kameo-less mode seems like a no-brainer
It's just would have been obvious a noticeable portion of the fanbase would want it since the idea for kameo showed up
In a game centered around kameos probably wouldnt be the main competitive mode, but still
It doesn’t fit the way the entire games setup
You can’t even break from combos without a kameo
Kameo with invisible skin
Yeah in the end, it's all workable
We had handless modes
Idr if legless too
Ultimately, if added, the game won't be centered around it. But i deffo think it should be added
You guys think we will get repeat dlc again?
how do you replace 3 moves
If Skarlet manages to get in, we would
genuinly
where are you getting those animations
the characthers are literaly designed around having a kameo , they are bare bones as shit witout the kameos
in the place of variations we have kameos whats so hard to understand
I feel like anyone who has played the stress test would know how 1v1 wouldn't work
You do not get enough tools for it too even be remotely fun
its literaly not a secundary characthers, its basicaly your variation
Character are designed to have arm moves and we still had armless kombat
Like
Gurl
I dunno whats so difficult to understand
its literaly not tag mode, this isnt a seperate characther these are special moves that literaly are replacing the variation system you cannot take them out
do you really think nrs is gonna dedicate resources to animate over 20 kameos to serve as variations, forward throw, half of the fatal blow and fatalities
to have a singular variation for characthers to be solo?
why would anyone use kameos if they all have that power budget allocated to shit designed specificaly for them
its a universal variation pool of special moves all characthers can pick from, theres never going to be a 1 v1 mode because its not 2 v2 anyways
Anyone who wants 1v1 literally doesn't realize the game wouldnt work
It would not be fun
Man i must be speaking alien
I mean I've actually played the game 
hard disagree
Without Kameos it's the same combo over and over
i sincerely dont get why people dont understand in the place of variations we have kameos, its not that complicated bro
the game is playable without assists for people who dont want them
its playable but is it fun or optimal? no
yeah its fun
It's not
its like saying " oh it functional to boil an egg in the sun"
It would be like playing mk11 but If it didn't have KBs
when youre supposed to use the oven
I don't think anyone with realistic expectations expects that a game centered around kameos to be properly without them
it may not be better than assists but you can play a full fledged fighting game without them
Nobody is saying you can't
But it would be the more bare bones unfun fighting game
This isn't like MvC where each character has tons of options outside of assist
yeah but im telling you its not gonna happen because they put way too more work on kameos and would require even more work to have a kameoless way
Why did my boy Kenshi bring his kameo from home? No one told him there’d be plenty to choose at the arena???
kenshi only needs himself n his family
Kenshi is a exception
He doesn't really need Kameos
Hopefully more characters like him
the only character who needed kameos was sub zero
in the stress test
he gets silly with them
id imagine johnny does too to cover his taunt stuff
I mean Kang and Kitana did
It isn’t
You can string combos like any Mk game without actually using Kameos
People have done 40% combos without them
Why is it so hard to grasp that most people who want a kameoless mode, are probably aware of that?
You know
You could just not use kameos
But I bet your big brain thought of that too
"but my opponent could learn how to play the game :((("
I know i can do that
people wanted gear mode
Gear mode was a completely different thing
But if it's that simple then NRS can do a modifier that disables them too lol
theres an audience for it is all im saying
That was variations but you had to have RNG to get the variations
But you can just not use kameos
And go on your day doing 40% combos
just play kenshi problem solved paradinhja
But then you lose because you have one string to do and it's easy to counter
i wonder what the damage will look when the game launches
cos it def needs better scaling
from what i played the cooldown needs to be a bit longer
Like, imagine I go out and throw hands with some dudes and Charlie Chaplin or *insert retro character shows up to help me
I think they look silly because they look silly
Like, the playable characters are modern, but they're retro
do a throw, they run in to do the throw, run away, call them back to do a special move
like why u run off the screen first place lel
They better have modern skins or I'll make a mod that turns them invisible
The story mode will make you play without kameos a couple times
Lol tbh I'm slightly okay with it because kameos are hilarious in general
I think Kameos should be either the same or a bit faster
I don't think they should be available less
patch notes bout to have cooldown adjustments on the godly assists
Cool down timer is the same for each Kameo
I never like these hp changes
Messes up my percentage perspective
Is that somehow a good balance option for pro play?
Arent there more creative ways to adjust a character
After bi Han dies again
I really hope Bi Han doesn't die or turn evil
He can be a anti hero but pls not just Noob again
What's wrong with him as Noob?
cliche
also for 1v1 happening... theyd have to completely made a new fatal blow for every character
so its not gonna happen
- N00b is a stupid name
- Undead is less hot than human
Literally 2 reasons
b-b-but Noob is Boon backwards
Well I don't think he's going to turn evil
he's already evil
or at least an asshole
being a asshole doesnt mean ur evil though
whats the point of resetting the timeline if youre just gonna redo the same exact plot points
Kameos are probably the best idea the series has had
Why would you want a 1v1 experience lmao
cus its a fighting game
Same reason people have been playing Mk for the last 30 years.
1v1 has always been better than tag team or assist fighting games, it’s why sf tekken and Mk have been on top for so many years.
Is Kameo Sub-Zero gonna be Kuai?
If he has thick eyebrows lol
its already a 1 v1 experience with another characther throwing in some moves you are all soo
So is MvC and Fighterz not a fighting game?
Istg people act like Kameos is this super hard thing
It's literally a button press
that is hard
Man I thought it was Chin Han voicing Shang Tsung
Damn Luke and Shang on the same year
Andrew Bowen isn't playing Johnny though
It's Jean Claude Van Damme
It's literally been said Van Damme is gonna play him

Is that smoke
Thats Takeda Senior
It's the second time dude voices someone who looks like a ninja but isn't lol
when did i say that
?
they asked why do you want a 1v1 game then replied cus its a fighting game
implying 3v3 arent fighting games
Does Goro's face in mk1 kinda look like Kabal's human face in 11?
wut
i cant wait for comic con this friday
but nrs with the unecessary gaps
last week couldve EASLY had a kombat kast for mileena, lao raiden
or maybe even smoke and rain
MORTAL KOMBAT 1 ROSTER LEAK? Did all but 2 characters on the MK1 roster ALREADY get revealed? In this video, we'll be breaking down the recent alleged rumored roster based on an updated rumor after we had 2 credible sources provide 19 characters last week! If what we're getting is true, we'll be seeing the likes of Rain, Baraka, Geras & Shao Kah...
Embed assist
Yep Thats the supposed roster
On the base I could see all of them at least having a story in the game, but Geras idk?
That would be interesting
Geras def could
Either they make him loyal to Liu Kang or he stops with the whole time thing
I have an Idea where Geras tried to let Goro kill the great kung lao but he's to late because Kung Lao defeated him and Shang Tsung, 9 wins for Earthrealm after Geras form the Black Dragon in support of the old king of Outworld Onaga
Then Onaga could lead the tournament for outworld and thats how the story starts
Who you might think the supposed last 2 slots are?
Tbh I haven’t even looked at it
I think the only “leak” I saw was the first Amazon one
With the dlc
Yeah that one
Makes sense since Amazon made The Boys and Invincible
Well I think the last 2 is Jade and Sonya
Hope they save Jax for KP2
This 
He's also gonna be invisible
Is it me or am I the only who thinks Arthur Morgan could be in MK1 as a dlc?
everything good besides Reiko and Nitara
me when i lie

Has anyone heard of this YouTube channel before
He posts insane fanfiction about Mortal Kombat merging with like Disney movies and whatnot
And then actually draws good looking art concepts about his insane art ideas like “what if Baraka was responsible for the Beauty and the Beast fairytale”
Discovered that channel earlier today and it’s a fucking trip
I was thinking geras wants to die and maybe he sacrifices his body to go into the hourglass so he can finally rest
or they could keep Geras as an agent of Kronika trying to bring things back to how they were and resserrect his fallen master. This way he's a neutral force working against both Liu Kang and Shang Tsung
Geras shares knowledge across timeliness
Geras gonna tell general Shao he was a khan in previous timeline and Liu kang took that away from him
im happy geras gets a second chance
**Bi Han after Geras tells him scorpion killed him and leaves out that it was a completely different person : **
He could do all of those things while forming the Black Dragon and getting it into a higher power in all the realms and giving Onaga an upper chance. Either Onaga or Shang Tsung manage to kill Geras litterally, either soul sucking or Onaga is just that OP that the Black Dragon is taken over by KANO
I’m thinking Geras might wanna die
So assuming he escaped the sea of blood like the intro line with Raiden
Is he not still just trapped in the neatherealm 
Or did aftermath retcon that
Was he in the netherrealm when Shao caved his skull in
Intro lines aren't canon
We don't really know what happened to him after Shao Kahn and Sindel crushed his head in Aftermath
He came back did he not?
Yeah but that was the last time we saw him in the story after that
He could still return in 1
I'm hoping for Reiko
Til MKvsDC is canon cus of a single scene in mk11
im hoping for sindel, ashrah, nitara and li mei, tanya as well
Half the roster
just the women
and the way we are getting at lightning speed to september it makes sense
Probably
Idk I think we will get 2 reveals at most Friday
Another 2 2 weeks after
Then a story trailer with a bunch of reveals
they need to speed up these kombat kasts
i also think its stupid that we got a reveal for rain and smoke followed by a kombat kast for two characthers weve knonw about for weeks
I mean that's fine
I think not having a kast last week was stupid though
As of rn we have 8(?) Characters without a cast
8?
I'm not sure if Kenshi, Sub, and Kitana will get one
oh i get what you mean then
The gameplay characters of mk11 did
i wish they had because we couldve used a deeper look into their intended mechanics and the new builds
but at this point i doubt it
but honestly last week we shouldve gotten rain and smoke to keep the hype train up
Sub, Kang, Kitana, Kenshi, Mileena, Raiden, Lao, Smoke, Rain
then this week before the comic con on tuesday for mileena and raiden or kung lao
We should have got one last week going over Raiden and Lao
Though with Lao I feel like they're hiding stuff with him
i mean mileenas new mouth design had her trend for several days it would make sense to have her as soon as possible
i really want rain kombat kast to put the " zoner" complaints to rest
Weird theory but I think they have been only showing characters with the least amount of changes
i say this because calling him the next cetrion when he has like 2 knock ups and a string knock up just in that short trailer was pissing me awf
kitana is pretty difrent but i see what you mean
ive been thinking this for a bit
shes not really tho
id say the only character we have seen changed alot is Raiden and Rain
i think the reason we havent seen basic characters like Baraka and Reptile is cus they got big changes
Tbf they all have big changes
I have an Idea were either Kano or Tremor are leading the black dragon, they have a deal with Onaga. And one of the Black Dragons most strongest figther is Jax or Sonya
Would like rain to have some moves or a stance without the staff, would be interesting
source?
he means the comic con panel
oh
its on friday and Kelly Hu is there for a unknown character
It's probably for that upcoming Johnny Cage movie
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qELU83e9p1Q Best MK stage music HANDS DOWN!!!

pretty gooood but i like this one more
hold on
Sub-Zero: Fatality #1 - Forward, Back, Down, Forward, Triangle.
Song composed by Vince Pontarelli.
🔥
Oh ok
Still hoping for Reiko and Motaro
Same, with Jax, Reptile, Sonya and Havik
Idk why they went away from this sound
what's wrong with zoners. zoners are a part of every fighting game.
rain being a zoner is fine
JP totally rules in sf6
when the devs were showing off johnny they said specifically that he was a rushdown to counter zoners which means there will be zoners
Nothing wrong with zoners
Nrs just doesnt know how to make a zoner
I slightly disagree. They can make zoners fine, and some of them have been top tier, and annoyingly so, they just haven’t done a great job making characters that can COUNTER zoners yet. But they seem to be actively fixing this with Johnny at least
And I wouldn’t be surprised if Reiko or whoever was also designed to completely shut down zoners
cetrion and jade were abominations
skarlet was slightly more fun because she had a bunch of difrent projectiles that enhanced creativity but even then you couldnt kombo betwen them
round 1 Black Market Alley greatness
It's kinda sad seeing Max's Noob reveal and how excited he was and then watch his MK1 Smoke reveal
I think mk11 broke him lol
yeah lol, it felt sad when i saw his reaction to the last trailer
he is not as excited
He's not
Hasn't been since the first time he played mk1
The second he tried the stress test it looked like he wants to hate it
The main thing he doesn’t like is the movement
That’s really it from what I remember
or mask
Wouldn't surprise me if Smoke gets a mk9 skin
I can see his skins being MK1, MK9, Cyborg (if we are lucky, and a new mk1 skin
Would be funny if Scorpion gets Subzero skins from previous games, and Subzero gets Noob skins from previous games
I doubt it tbh
Seeing that some of them do get previous game skins in mk11
I mean a more boring version would be Scorpion gets previous Scorpion skins and Subzero gets previous Subzero skins
Will say it was cool when Sub had Noob moves in inj3
Why is that boring
It's not boring it's just less interesting than the former
Unless they give us the topless guy wearing blue life jacket style skin lol
Idk seeing a Noob skin but doing sub zero things would be weird
Or Scorpion and Sub
Like this would mean Scorpion would get a single skin
I mean as a throwback to older skins like some of the skins in mk11, not looking exactly like noob
Id rather have klassic and new skins then my character getting skins of a different character
Bi Han is Sub he's not Noob
Iirc some characters have skins in mk11 that are throwback to other characters in previous games but not in mk11
I don't see the problem if Bi Han subzero has skins that refers Noob or Scorpion (if he's Kuai Liang) that refers to Subzero/Tundra
Only one that comes to mind is Quan skins for Baraka and Kano
But that's just a reference to Richard Divizio
There's the scorpion reptile skin ig
Lol I had a dream where I saw Kotal Kahn as kameo fighter
Saw into the future of kp2
Indeed. Another DLC kameo fighter.
Wheelchair Kotal Kameo?? 😱😱
KK in a wheelchair
Me in 2025 lol
I honestly hate that joke for Kotal Kahn
Kotal Kahn himself is a joke so it fits
Top 5 worst MK characters for me
Dude gets hard carried by his design and gameplay
They did him so dirty in 11
2 more days 🤗
Raiden is in my top 5 worst
dude is a clown an has no idea what the fuck he's doing half the time
Real
I love Raiden
He's just written weird
"let's give him character progression then kill him and make him mk9 again"
It's not like dark raiden is amazing either
I wouldn't say becoming an asshole is a good character progression lol
Sareena
I don’t get the hype for her. She was in one game playable didn’t even have a fatality and didn’t have any special move that makes her notable.
People only liked her cause she was dressed scantily and had a crush on bi-Han
She’s supposedly a demon but we’ve never seen that either
I’d give her a chance as a kameo in mk1 but I don’t get her appeal like her fans do
Never seen that? Her entire plot is based around that
If you mean that like physically we’ve never seen what she looks like in full demon form and not her human disguise, that makes sense, but we’ve never spent nearly enough time with her in any plot to have something like that shown off. She’s been very underutilized which is part of why fans of her want her back because if we actually spent some time with her in the story we could potentially see something cool like her true demon form or whatever
You don’t make a character, imply they have a demon form, and not show the demon form
Fair point
Yeah they can't show it just yet
and they never will 
Homelander, Peacemaker, and Omni-man are all confirmed correct?
From the Amazon leak?
If I were to pre order the premium edition on pc will i get those characters?
they were included in the amazon description leak
eh nope
yh ik but idk if they was konfirmed
also why cant we have a beta on pc? wtf. more people play on pc than console tbf
?
see
it even says in mk1 kombat 1 pack
Yes that’s what I mean, show me an oni form
amazon italy is pretty special
Cause nrs fucking hates PC and refuses to do a first party port
blud really thinks ima buy a ps5 just to play the beta 
I stayed with my brother for the weekend of the stress test cause I have PC and he has the new Xbox lol
also yes this was true.
so if u preorder premium, u get kombat pack 1 with these characters
Am I wrong?
ed should be a kameo
factssss
no
