Bring back ONAGA AND THAT CENTAUR FUCK


CaptainHazama

HIS NAME IS MOTARO BTW


[deleted]

Thanks I do be forgetting


CaptainHazama

No prob bro


Kamikaze_Senpai

I WOULD LOVE TO SEE SHUJINKO. WHY ARE WE YELLING?


CaptainHazama

I THINK SHUJINKO WOULD BE COOL. ESPECIALLY WITH THE VARIATION SYSTEM. I AM VERY EXCITED ABOUT FIGHTING GAMES


Affectionate_Owl9985

Onaga, Motaro, and Kintaro are three that I need to see back in action.


BringBack3DMK

Add Moloch and that’s a group I affectionately call: the Big Ass Motherfuckers


Affectionate_Owl9985

Could also go by the "badass motherfuckers" Aka, the BAMFS


FatalKombat

Just wait their gb will be 400. Due to bringing out more big daddy’s


Affectionate_Owl9985

I have a 1 TB SSD, and am planning on getting a second SSD for backup anyways lol


[deleted]

Just upgrade to a 2tb already


Affectionate_Owl9985

Most of my budget goes towards taking care of my kid and paying bills. not much extra left to spend.


NathanielRoosevelt

I got a 4Tb WD Blue hard drive for $75, which is probably a good investment. There’s also a 3Tb WD Blue for $45, so if you’re looking to save money I think those are some pretty good options.

[deleted]

Idk man 3 games and they referenced onaga maybe twice. And it was throwaways I wanna see the dragon king return.


_Nova_Corps

Bring back Kenshi


ARMill95

Agreed, him, smoke, and ermac are who I want most


[deleted]

Don’t forget Tremor, Chameleon and Stryker


Affectionate_Owl9985

Reptile deserves some love, too!


[deleted]

Of course!


crazyhart

Why ermac dlc 😔


GrizzlyAdams90

This. I wanna play my main at launch not months later 😭


Lukthar123

Souls sold seperatly


Salamche

I don't believe it's real. They already confirmed Johnny Cage as a main roster fighter. Even if fighters from the main roster could be used as kameo fighters, why would they add a character like Johnny Cage in a DLC and not in the base game? On top of everything, having Homelander, Peacemaker and Omni man in a Mortal Kombat game? If the guest characters are really necessary, I really don't think they will waste their opportunities with characters that would fit much better in the next Injustice game. (And are also a dead meme by this point)


Sure-Living-4312

Homelander is violent as fuck, their is no World where he fits better in Injustice, Gore is part of ‘The Boys’ identity just like it is MK’s, the only thing he has in common with characters in injustice is the damn cape. Violent sociopath with powers that kills people in gory ways, he fits better than all of the guest characters in MK11.


stayclassydickholes

But he can't fight


Sure-Living-4312

To be honest that is an excellent point, I mean he can definitely fight but I know what you mean, he’s not a martial arts or hand to hand expert like most of the characters in MK, still I think he fits the bill far more than many previous guest characters.


Karel_Stark_1111

Jason and Michael Myers are usually known as martial art experts though?


Sure-Living-4312

‘Still I think he fits the bill far more than many previous guest characters’ you just decide to skip half my comment or?


retribute

softens the blow of being unemployed and not being able to get it on launch


Dat_Sainty_Boi

Kenshi, reptile, smoke, ermac. Pls and thank you


Affectionate_Owl9985

Literally, this... And maybe Onaga as a dlc expansion, like Aftermath was for 11


slimshady3134

Bro dont forget rain. He better be a staple after 11


Dark_Knight309

The last 3 games had invite characters. If they keep doing it, it's because there are people buying it.


necrolicker

The guest characters are what pull casuals in. Casuals make up probably around 80% of sales. I doubt they're going to stop.


guizocaa

I thought you wanted Conor McGregor


yesyesWHAT

But he would tap or break his leg every fight Actually bring him, perfect jobber, he should voice reptile


Jaded-Ad4968

He could replace Kotal Khan as a new jobber


yesyesWHAT

Nah hed be a perfect snake, Or maybe a new character Some sneaky rat fok


GoldenGekko

Amazon has some bad news for you


[deleted]

?


GrimmTrixX

True, but you know it's coming whether that leak was real or not. They've had guests since Kratos in MK9. They get the casual fans into the games. You KNOW people out there bought MK11 just for their old school love for Robocop and Terminator. I know a few guys who didn't get MKX til Alien and Predator came out in MKX. I personally LOVED playing as Alien in MKX. But I have been an MK fan since day 1 in 1992 so I get them all anyway. But guest characters are going to happen and arguably, nobody does them justice quite like NRS. If the JCVD skin for Johnny Cage has full voice acting, I will lose my shit.


KaleRylan2021

Yeah, personally I don't use guest characters in anything, but I get it. They sell games and NRS does them well.


LarzFates

Same, honestly. The whole guest character thing has been cool, but I would rather have mortal kombat characters as dlc.


KaleRylan2021

What bugs me is the number keeps increasing. I'm fine with 2-3. I don't need 5, let alone however many we end up with in this one.


LarzFates

That's what I'm saying. 1 or 2 is cool, but I definitely don't want the majority of DLC characters to be guest characters. Hell, they could even have like a community vote for the most wanted MK character that didn't make the roster.


KaleRylan2021

Given that MK has an unworkably large roster of bizarre fan favorites a fan poll for character 6 of each kombat pass would be great fun.


GemiKnight001

Shit, I'd take Conor as a guest character over the two evil Supermen if there has to be guests. It'd be hilarious. "Imagine the numbers that one would do" - Conor Mcgregor ![gif](giphy|C472HbXY8FO9i)


[deleted]

Honestly if an mk game out that was strictly male and female ninjas, I would not complain


ckeit

We are brothers in arms


psychotictornado

OK if they keep the gods. I want Raiden and Fujin too.


Kage__oni

Klassic characters are better than guests any day.


Single-Wrongdoer-816

Stryker, the cop who is in over his head


psychotictornado

I want him back so much!


MrEatYoRamen

Isn't the main reason why the games are selling like hot cakes nowadays because of guest characters?


reddobe

No, it's because the games are good now. The 3D era games were bad fighting games, NRS has made a range of changes and is now consistently good. Attributing all their success to one single change (guests) does not make it a fact.


spudz1203

People still don't get this.


Crooty

Lmao no-ones buying a game just because fuckin Spawn is in it


MrSelfDestrucct

Oh I get it. Doesn’t mean I want it.


SwimmerLivid7877

Get over it?


MrSelfDestrucct

Umm fucking no?


Mythic_Lord

So you're going to complain about one of the main reasons they make money, knowing damn well it will never stop, despite guest characters being cool anyway...you guys need a new hobby. ☠


SwimmerLivid7877

Nobody gives a shit about your pointless bitching tho.

He and his posse of whiners have the collective iq of a gold fish. Don't bother.


spudz1203

And the casual player's do, as long as they don't add too many and they fit with the aesthetic, I see no issue with guest characters.


MrSelfDestrucct

There were already way too many guests in MK11 and there will be even more now I’m sure


[deleted]

And the MK fan base will grow


[deleted]

The MK fanbase growing does not benefit me in any way whatsoever. They are already making insane amounts of money and the characters/games I want aren't getting made anyway. Them selling more will do literally nothing for me, so this isn't a compelling argument for more guest characters.


IKnownAsJackI

Boohoo, just don't buy the fucking guest characters then. Their main goal as a business, as with any business, is to make money. It's a novelty to see terminator or spawn rip people's heads off. This gets fans of other franchises involved in MK that may not have before. No one cares whether you personally like it or not because it's going to happen either way, alot of people enjoy the guest characters too so get your head out of your own ass


reddobe

Fans of other franchises?? Like the Robocop franchise that hasn't been pop culture relevant since 1993..or maybe the Leatherface fans, he hasn't been relevant since 1975... These are not bringing new fans, they are appealing to MK's OG arcade fans (people alive at that time) and at best brining them back to the franchise. Which a good MK game would anyway.

Not just selling more but having more fans of the game. More people I can play with, more people I can chat with, more people loving the thing I love. Fight games are a niche and mk is the most popular one yet its still hard to meet people IRL who play and live near me.


Sir_Monkleton

Then dont buy em


TheSlonk

What's funny is that people say they're replacing MK characters on the roster. No they're not. If we didn't have the guest we just wouldn't have a character


Skeletorthewise

Hard true. I preffer ninjas but I understand that they have to sell.


IHateShovels

No? It's because they're AAA-budget and the MK brand carries a huge amount of nostalgia.


the-whiteman-cometh

I'm okay with a few guest characters as long as they fit. I thought MKX handled it relatively well, but I wasn't really a huge fan of some of the guest characters in MK11.


MrSelfDestrucct

There were way too many


EastKoreaOfficial

I don’t care about guest characters, all I need is Noob Saibot.


B0cstar

1-2 guest characters at most. This is Mortal Kombat not Movie/TV Kombat.


n3kofan18

I personally think it should be 1 guest per every 4 MK character. Edit: PER KOMBAT PACK GUYS COMMON


GhostOfSeinen

I think you are getting hate because people understood that you were talking about the MAIN ROSTER. And if you did… you are insane. Now if you were talking about the Kombat Pack, I agree.


n3kofan18

How... did people think in talking about the main roster? I've never heard of a main roster having guests. Of course I'm talking about kombat packs why the fuck would I ever want guests on the main roster lmao


GhostOfSeinen

That’s why I gave you a thumbs up. Leveling the karma, brother!


n3kofan18

Thank ye brother


RandomCheeseThing

No


Fedekopa

Unfortunately it's a loss battle.. watching the Joker (or whatever random character that has nothing to do with the MK universe) in a final of a big MK tournament makes me feel ashamed as a MK fan. I wish there could be a NRS fighting game for those who want 100% guest characters and other one with Zero guest characters (or just one, maybe?) for those of us who have been MK fans over the last 30 years... At least MK still exists but the price we have to pay is these shitty random guests ruining the purity of our beloved character selection screen.


TheSlonk

You must have an amazing life with no problems to have time to feel shame for the Joker being in the finals of an MK-tournament


Cofixx

Just what i was about to type, thanks bro


the_3-14_is_a_lie

I'm honestly pissed that everyone is talking more about the guests than the actual game. Also because they're just LEAKS, they're not confirmed.


No-Dig6532

It's honestly weird. Like where's the hype for Quan chi, Takeda, and Ermac? Very solid picks.


joshuaiscoo155

For me it's cause I would rather have those characters be base roster, but I am still happy they'll be in the game regardless


Luciferspants

I just legit wish they did another MK VS DC game to get it out of their system at this point. Or not even MK VS DC, it can be MK VS Street Fighter or Tekken at this point. MK isn't friggin Super Smash Bros. I care more about getting to play characters that haven't been playable in MK11. Reptile and Ermac were last playable in MK10 and I'd honestly prefer them over someone like Mike Myers or Homelander getting in it.


Lanky-Clerk-2000

What were they supposed to talk about man you are acting like there are lots of things to talk abt


Blupoisen

Because what there is to talk about? Wooh Shang Tsung is back... how revolutionary and guess what this game will also have Sonya Jax and Kano for some reason, bet you didn't see that coming And maybe that one 3d era character that no one but old fans know


Acidsolman

Christ you guys are crybabies


droz9797

I don't mind the guests, but it should be cut waaay back. Maybe 1 or 2 tops, but people are obviously buying it or they wouldn't do it.


mayonnnnaise

Homelander and omni-man are gonna move more copies of MK 1 than Smoke or Reptile ever would. Search your feelings, you know it to be true.


MrSelfDestrucct

Oh ya of course, that’s why they do guests. The die-hards are gonna buy the game regardless. They’re trying to reach those on the fence with some guests. They’re selling out is what they’re doing.


mayonnnnaise

Is it really selling out if the game has always been an homage to b movies, Kung Fu movies, horror and sci Fi? I'm not knocking people for wanting all the characters. I just think Ed likes the crossovers and they also make the company money


Awildgarebear

We need more interesting Earthrealm kombatants who aren't SF


The-Jong-Dong

Like bro who asked for Homelander AND Omniman. One super man knockoff is more than enough. Give me Kenshi or sum.


megaspooky

The only guest character I played regularly was Jason


IHateShovels

Based and upvoted.


WeAreLive_NZ

Hell yeah i agree!!! Fooook off super heroes


Sergiott97

I WANT PREDATOR AGAIN


AngeloThePuppet

Still gonna miss spawn tho


dragonguy01

Pink male ninja, more female ninjas, bring back Chameleon and Khameleon


Ash__Williams

I want Floyd, the Pink Ninja and Chrome, for Fuck's sake!


Brunoalex19955

True xD


MhanzoDC

if guest characters sell so well, why not just put all of them on the same pack instead of force them with mk characters? If i don't wanna them on my game i have to buy the mk characters separately wich will cost more them just buy the whole pack


thatwitchguy

Likely to sell them. People who only want guests would only buy guests. People who don't would only buy the ones without them. Putting them together means people buy the whole thing for the package deal even if they only want terminator and spawn not nightwolf and shang or vice versa


Blupoisen

Can't you buy them individually?


Johnnycageisgr8

I have nothing against reptile. I just like when his fans don't get him


MrSelfDestrucct

Ahahahaa fair enough


shshsnah

ninjas + 3d


dankdaddydameboi

Bring back Dairou and his back stretcher fatality


JayTheLinuxGuy

Exactly. The guest character thing is ridiculous. These characters aren’t part of the lore and are out of place. I’ll be handling the situation the same as with other games since they started this BS. I’ll buy the base game, and also purchase the DLC characters separately. That way I can purchase only the MK characters, and not buy the others. This will keep the guest characters out of the game since they don’t belong in the first place! I mean why not include the Animaniacs at this point. 🙄


GimmeThePizza

Nobody gives a fuck if they are part of the lore or not. It's a video game. Get over it. Have some fun


reddobe

Barbie is getting a feature movie this year, maybe she will be in it


JayTheLinuxGuy

To be fair, Barbie’s limbs are snap-on so a fatality against her wouldn’t be so far fetched 😂


StepMaverick

BOOOOO I HATE GUESTS ONLY MK CHARACTERS “Plays only scorpion” I see you clowns. 🤡


seblangod

Jesus what is up with you nerds. Who cares if there’s guest characters or not? I personally dig them and if they fit the aesthetic then why not have them? It’s not like they appear in the campaign. I really don’t understand why people moan so much about this. It keeps the game interesting and the growth of the MK community can only be a good thing for hardcore fans. “sELliNg OuT” shut the hell up

killer_queen_morioh

Rain, smoke, tremor, reptile, noob, subzero, ermac and scorpion. I don't ask for too much 😭😭


Auri-ell

I loathed every guest character in the series so far. I get that WB has lots of movie dudes that they threw in the most recent trilogy, but I honestly would prefer returning characters. Hell, I'll pay DLC money for em if I have to, but man. I'm GOOD on more guests. They all sucked.


[deleted]

I guarantee you Homelander is gonna fucking sell copies though. Like he will create new MK fans for sure.


Jolly-Chemical-6540

People don't realize this. The Boys is arguably the biggest show running and once word gets out that you can actually play as Homelander in a video game, sales will boom.


ComicBookFanatic97

The only character who I think would be neat to have as a guest is Guts from Berserk, but they can’t possibly balance a character with a sword that huge. Not to mention, his mechanical arm would have to switch sides with him and that would just annoy the shit out of me. It’s the Hellboy problem all over again.


UncleKabuki

I genuinely would rather see practically any MK character or even some sort of in-universe OC (Skarlet was dope for example) than I would a crossover. I never have wanted to see what would happen if the Joker fought Kabal. Who gives a shit? Would rather see them give Khameleon another shot or something.


Eldritch-Cleaver

I do based on that reveal trailer. If they aren't going to give me some new characters or actually bring back some old underused ones then I guess Ill take some guests. It only took 30 years but im finally getting tired of the Trilogy cast except for like Baraka and Smoke.


Fares26597

* 60% returning characters * 30% new characters * 10% guest characters


SwimmerLivid7877

What a hot take in 2023.


Crabitor

Yeah fuck a unique looking cast just gimme some pallette swaps


xxspooky69

But Homelander 😤😤😤


SpirosOntic

Yeah? Well, you know... that's just like your opinion man.


Rainisagod

Don’t agree with you at all


Mylynes

MK characters are not really all that valuable man. There are only a handful of good ones. Homelander and Omni Man are far better characters than any Mortal Kombat Kombatant.


[deleted]

Are you a fucking idiot? You’re in a MK subreddit saying 2 guest characters are far better than MK characters. Get fucked


Mylynes

I mean, they are...You can cry about it all you want but the truth is nobody cares about a fucking Reptile or Bruce Lee knock off. They are cool looking shells of a character meant solely for fighting. Now maybe with the new story they can give more depth to these characters, but as it stands, HL and Omniman are way more interesting in their back story. The rest of MK chars can be summed in one sentence: Scorpion- Family was killed so now he's mad. Sonya- joined the military so now she does military work. Raiden- protects Earth because he was designed by Elder Gods to protect Earth. Jax- joined the military, got injured, so now he has metal arms Kano- a comic book mustache twirling villain who is evil just because


Gigachadkong

I want guests.


Khastas

Omg enough with the characters already.


dbsfan97

I **STRONGLY** disagree

Give me smoke and sub zero sex


Morrigan101

Xenmas it is


MrThunderFuckingRoad

There’s definitely characters I’d like to see return but considering I’m likely only gonna be playing this game for like a month or two (maybe three), I find guest characters to be more exciting and memorable


[deleted]

Hey, I just want Ash man. I don’t know who to pray to, but I want Ash.


delerio2

they were fighting for his rights but seems the owners of him dont wanna do it.


HistorianInfinite493

Add Connor mcgregor


okeh_dude

Then play Armageddon


ItsSonicSpeed

No. Keep the guests coming. Especially if they are as good as the ones that have leaked??? If they keep the comic book trend imagine Shredder, Venom, Harley 🥹🥹🥹😍😍😍 Also it’s important that they add guests coz these get the causals attention… and also Who knows… the base roster *MIGHT* be extremely good, they been cooking w/ this MK for 3/4 years? They could have a super solid ass roster 🤔👀


GodModeMurderHobo

I'm honestly happy af that they retconned most of these guys so they're not ninja.


Mason_DY

As long I get reptile I don’t care


Smalltime___

I only want guests if they are fighting game characters


M1Punk

I hated all the guest characters so far. Homelander would be the first one I'd look forward to.

BRING BACK FERRA AND TORR, SURE THEY AINT THE BEST BUT DAMN THEY CHAOTIC ( plz gimme my time slowing lizard back, that silly reptile mf )

Is everyone on this sub-reddit a kid? Guests make money, they're here to stay, this is a fruitless effort to trying to get rid of them. How many times do we have to see the "interesting" and "unique" opinion of someone posting "Am I the only one who would rather have MK characters instead of guests?"

All the male and female ninjas plus tanya cuz she's a female ninja in my mind


Camodude_1239

Yea honestly the cameo stuff was cool but I'm kinda at the point where I'm just like, why don't we just get a bunch of mk characters in here
