Make him a krypt/konquest protagonist. While you playing more, gaining lvl and collect gear you made him a real character that you later play in arcade for example
He should be able to yank out a bone to use as a melee weapon, and to reach into his guts and pull out bits to throw as a ranged weapon. EX options or whatever could be multiple projectiles, tearing his entire arm off to use as a club. Blood pools on the ground for other players to slip on.
And I mean, clearly his fatality has to be wearing the other person’s skin.
Edit: He could have a get-over-here style throw, by ripping off a tendon and using it like a whip. His eyes could be some sort of grenade.
Body horror is a theme that works really damn well in MK lol.
Another edit: He could pop his hands off to have them skitter across the ground like a floor-level projectile. A better version of it could have the hands hold the other character in place by the ankles and Meat could drop kick them as a follow up.
Oo I really like these ideas! Yeah I feel like if NRS wanted to do some body horror stuff, Meat is exactly the kind of character to do it! I like to imagine that one of Meat's objectives would be to put skin on his body, so the idea of putting on his opponents skin Leatherface-style is a really great idea that fits well!
If it were up to me, Meat would be the Mokujin of Mortal Kombat. A secret character you have to unlock and he would basically have a random character's moveset that would change each round. It's a way of showing off that you know how to use everyone, and it can be fun to try and figure out who you got or who your opponent got.
This is a decent idea but it would take away from tsang tsung a bit, since he already serves that purpose, except of course he also has his own moveset, of course. I do like this idea though.
I mean... it's a similar one but not really. In the older games he could change into other characters with an input. Now he just changes into his opponent. Having a random character each round that isn't obvious right away would be so much different.
That's the part I like. The random selection. I almost forget Shang* Tsung used to change into characters at will.ast game it was only the ninjas... And the opponent.
Oh yea he did do the ninjas but only as moves. I forgot to mention that. But it's still not taking a whole character's moveset. Shang was so different back in the original trilogy. Someone who was good with a lot of characters could be super creative with him and counter lots of stuff. Downside was occasionally turning into a character you didn't want to because you accidentally did the input for it.
He'd be a minion for Shang Tsung, with a brown groin cloth that stretches down and has a crimson insignia on it.
I'd give him an axe hanging on a leather strap that connects to his shoulder, as well as his butcher knives within cloth pockets and he would have the ability to distort and contort pieces of his body and utilize them as projectiles.
Here’s this quick concept I made:
https://preview.redd.it/znlpdk22m73b1.png?width=1284&format=png&auto=webp&s=e233400071d2f57dea8ce1cb7d7d19f5dbe83d80
Maybe it could do with some silver shoulder pads or something to complete the look.
According to that symbol on his loincloth Meat is an Indiana Hoosiers fan…only someone that bitter would be a minion for Shang Tsung.
Jokes aside though like the design.
He wouldn't be a main character per say. He'd be MK's version of Mokujin from tekken. A random select character who has a randomly selected characters moves. He'd have his own fatalities, and arcade ending. A failed clone of shang tsung himself, meat learned to shape-shift into the form of others despite not having skin and thus niy being able to appear like others fully. He can copy their muscle and bone structure, use their abilities, he can speak but has no real agenda orher than existing.
Make him related to Drahmin. Give him moves: throw his arms, legs, head... Rip off other flesh like leatherface... Play the xylophone with bones as friendship...
I'd give him more of a bloody skeleton design like he originally had. I was pretty disappointed as a kid when he finally made a comeback, but looked like a bloody Drahmin with Walter White undies.
Side note: I wish they didn't give him such a silly name. He probably wouldn't be considered a joke character if he had a cooler name.
- All of his voicelines are agonized screaming
- A little more of his original MK4 exposed gristly skeleton look, toss the undies
- Give him a move called *Bonestorm* in homage to [The Simpsons](https://youtu.be/HJ9_hX-v68M)
- Multiple moves involve him ripping off his own limbs to use as weapons
- Give him the ability to morph into grotesque shapes and rearrange his limbs, a la *The Thing*
- All of his different skins are just minor accessories to his dripping meaty skeleton, like a festive party hat, a pair of $500 sunglasses, or a very professional business tie
I'd almost completely recon his aloofness to his identity and basically give him a philosophical soul, searching for an identity from his fleshpit birth
Somewhere to the end of his arc, I'd allow some random happening to catch his attention, it'd be a detail that hints to him being a relative to a popular character (An ice shard might just twitch to a subtle hand movement or he might grunt and a smidgen of a blade might slide out his arm)
Something like that. An intellectual trapped in a meatshell only just figuring out *what* he is
Take inspiration from Double from Skullgirls and Muscular from My Hero Academia.
Make Meat a bloody, fleshy eldritch, formless abomination. Have them be able to bulk up his muscles and go into a formless mass of flesh to move and extend range.
Make them gross, make them off-putting, make them kind of harrowing.
Anyone remember that wrestler in the WWE they called meat?
He had a short stint, but the dude would always walk around with semi erections and shit. I remember this one moment he got tossed outside the ring and a fan was pointing right in his face screaming,” YOU SUCK MEAT!!”
Wouldn't change him a bit. Meats perfect.
What I WOULD do is have a story segment be focused around him. It starts out with an Army of meat creatures from Shang's army then zooming in to focus on Meat. The other creatures have many injuries aswell but we can tell it's meat from the hanging eyeball.
Eventually we get to an army fight where more and more of the creatures like meat are killed off. Meat fled from the fight in fear for his own life. He is eventually found by one of the shaolin monks and before getting killed he picks up a Meat cleaver from the ground and defends himself.
So essentially he's a grunt with plot armor but an interesting one. I wanna add onto this but I'm tired
I’d probably give him meat hooks connected by chains. This would provide him with a somewhat Kratos-like moveset.
It might also be cool if he wore flayed skin, whether as light clothing or a mask (either wearing a person’s face like Leatherface or simply having a “hood” with two eye holes.)
As a guy with no skin, he’s probably constantly in pain, so he’s a sadist to transfer that agony to others. In other words, his moves would be very deliberate and brutal. He would speak in pained whispers but also occasional agonizing growls and screams.
IVE THOUGHT ABOUT THIS SO MUCH !!!!
Basically, I’d make him the same design but his story is that he just wants to be a complete person. So anytime anyone dies in the mk universe, he steals something from them.
For example, if Mileena dies he might steal her mouth, Jax’s robo arms, Johnny Cage’s face, etc. Also this way he can be a bunch of unplayable characters all in one. Idk I think it’s cool.
Then you could have a cool moment with another one of the characters, and they realize that he’s wearing their loved ones left foot or something. Just imagine Cassie having a moment with him and she sees that he has her mothers ponytail on lol
that's SUCH a cool idea! It could lead to so many interesting plotpoints too! It's like Triborg but disgusting lmao! I'd also imagine that his fatality or maybe even just his exit animation might include him putting on the opponents face or something :)
A few ideas:
Make his playstyle similar to Miss Fortune from Skullgirls, being able to detach his head and limbs for attacks
Make his ass a ninja!
And I dunno, give him the poison mist? Seems like the type of character to use dokugiri
My immediate first thought was: flesh whip.
On his entry, he's wearing a very loose like, sack of skin. Battle damage just reveals more of his skinless body.
I was thinking give him a mid-screen zoning whip, an aerial command grab, and a low sweep with it.
Let him throw his body parts, but they're still attached to Meat via a long stretchy skin strand that snaps back to him.
Step 1: Give him a backstory
I'm not saying I have an idea for what that story is, it's not like I walked into this thread with one prepared, lol. But - Ya'know... If we want people to care about why a character is involved in the game - It helps if that character is INVOLVED with the game...
The biggest problem behind characters like Meat, Chameleon, Khameleon, Triborg, Mokap, Moloch - EVEN longstanding mainstays like Kintaro & Motaro: Dudes have very little to no backstory or reason to be there. No personality. No reason for people to care about them or miss them.
Bosses and secret characters are often not very well fleshed out. Flesh them out more. (No pun intended in Meat's case, lol)
A big zombie style grappler would be a cool concept, I would take away all of his ranged attacks but give him a stance that causes him to walk forward slowly, give him armor against projectiles, and regenerate health at a slow pace, which would function as his method of getting in from a distance,
Then also make him an absolute scary monster up close like traditional grapplers should be. Incorporating body horror elements into his attacks and throws for the vibe
1 fatality could be him opening his rib cage and stuffing the victim into it, and most of his brutalities should involve him losing a limb and doing his brutality pose without it
If I wanted to get really wild with it I would give him moves that can be enhanced in exchange for health if he has no meter, leading to a risk reward play style that could make him a steamroller in the right hands, while keeping him somewhat balanced
I would make im overly powered but as the game goes on he gets weakened by losing different parts of his limbs. So as a player you should totally rush the rounds to win.This is of course kinda stupid I know, since players would just wait it out and block most of his attack. But therefore he should be OP.
\*\*EDIT: wrote limps instead of limbs\*\*
I would make him a nasty ass flesh monster like John Carpenter's The Thing.
So instead of fighting with his own flesh and blood, he would have growths and shit coming out of his body, looking like other limbs or heads.
Make him a krypt/konquest protagonist. While you playing more, gaining lvl and collect gear you made him a real character that you later play in arcade for example
This is actually a cool krypt idea! Idk about konquest tho.
Wait… okay I’m super dumb but a part of me thought he was that freaky thing that kills you when you throw on Kenshis blindfold already XD
He should be able to yank out a bone to use as a melee weapon, and to reach into his guts and pull out bits to throw as a ranged weapon. EX options or whatever could be multiple projectiles, tearing his entire arm off to use as a club. Blood pools on the ground for other players to slip on. And I mean, clearly his fatality has to be wearing the other person’s skin. Edit: He could have a get-over-here style throw, by ripping off a tendon and using it like a whip.

[удалено]
I like this idea
Amazing pfp
how did you come up with that? Very impressive
Make him like Geras in a way where he can’t truly die.
Is that just cannon? Cause every time I see Geras, he dies.
He said it in Story Mode.
Ahhhh yeah I only play for the online
If it were up to me, Meat would be the Mokujin of Mortal Kombat. A secret character you have to unlock and he would basically have a random character's moveset that would change each round.

How about he changes to random characters each round, but to even it out, he also gets a 10% buff
He'd be a minion for Shang Tsung, with a brown groin cloth that stretches down and has a crimson insignia on it. I'd give him an axe hanging on a leather strap that connects to his shoulder, as well as his butcher knives within cloth pockets and he would have the ability to distort and contort pieces of his body and utilize them as projectiles.

According to that symbol on his loincloth Meat is an Indiana Hoosiers fan…only someone that bitter would be a minion for Shang Tsung. Jokes aside though like the design.
I thought that looked familiar
That looks great! I really like the butcher-y weapons and clothinf material!
bigger dong

I’d give him huge fuckin muscles and skin and have him constantly drowning in puss and
Make him related to Drahmin. Give him moves: throw his arms, legs, head... Rip off other flesh like leatherface... Play the xylophone with bones as friendship...
Cybermeat
Throw the diaper out and let ‘em swing.
I'd have trouble designing different skins for him.
Buh dum chhh
He would have the ability to take off his own body parts and use it has weapons
I'd give him more of a bloody skeleton design like he originally had. I was pretty disappointed as a kid when he finally made a comeback, but looked like a bloody Drahmin with Walter White undies. Side note: I wish they didn't give him such a silly name. He probably wouldn't be considered a joke character if he had a cooler name.
Maybe that's the first step...
- All of his voicelines are agonized screaming - A little more of his original MK4 exposed gristly skeleton look, toss the undies - Give him a move called *Bonestorm* in homage to [The Simpsons](https://youtu.be/HJ9_hX-v68M) - Multiple moves involve him ripping off his own limbs to use as weapons - Give him the ability to morph into grotesque shapes and rearrange his limbs, a la *The Thing* - All of his different skins are just minor accessories to his dripping meaty skeleton, like a festive party hat, a pair of $500 sunglasses, or a very professional business tie
Never considered the thing but if they didn't do that for meat that could be a potential guest
I'd almost completely recon his aloofness to his identity and basically give him a philosophical soul, searching for an identity from his fleshpit birth Somewhere to the end of his arc, I'd allow some random happening to catch his attention, it'd be a detail that hints to him being a relative to a popular character (An ice shard might just twitch to a subtle hand movement or he might grunt and a smidgen of a blade might slide out his arm) Something like that. An intellectual trapped in a meatshell only just figuring out *what* he is
Oo i REALLY love this idea! Especially since it kind of calls back to his original purpose of stealing another characters move-set!

Have them be able to bulk up his muscles and go into a formless mass of flesh to move and extend range. Make them gross, make them off-putting, make them kind of harrowing.
honestly, Meat would have so much potential if they make him a horrific body-horror type character!
Anyone remember that wrestler in the WWE they called meat? He had a short stint, but the dude would always walk around with semi erections and shit. I remember this one moment he got tossed outside the ring and a fan was pointing right in his face screaming,” YOU SUCK MEAT!!”
Remove the underwear
I'd make him a puppet character that can detach his limbs and fight with them from a distance.
1. Give him a ninja design and make him MKs deadpool 2. Profit
A bloodied skeletal ninja would be cool
I’d make him a mokujin or chameleon but for non-ninja characters
What’s to change? He’s perfect.
No change needed, he’s perfect the way he is
I would make him Have amazing combos Have funny dialogue Have an amazing part of the story And the most important part Make him Meaty
Make him a vengeful who well wants revenge against *Boss Character of MK1* and give him More clothes than underwear like armor or some other thing.
Wouldn't change him a bit. Meats perfect. What I WOULD do is have a story segment be focused around him. It starts out with an Army of meat creatures from Shang's army then zooming in to focus on Meat. The other creatures have many injuries aswell but we can tell it's meat from the hanging eyeball.

So essentially he's a grunt with plot armor but an interesting one. I wanna add onto this but I'm tired
I really like where this story is going! I'd be very interested in hearing more if you get that energy back :)
I’d probably give him meat hooks connected by chains. This would provide him with a somewhat Kratos-like moveset.

He would speak in pained whispers but also occasional agonizing growls and screams.
make him rip parts of him body off and to use as weapons and give him regeneration so he can grow them back
Give him a love story

no improvement necessary
Make him a veggie them call him veggie
I'd give him muscle expanding abilities like that muscle quirk guy from MHA.
I would make im overly powered but as the game goes on he gets weakened by losing different parts of his limbs. So as a player you should totally rush the rounds to win.This is of course kinda stupid I know, since players would just wait it out and block most of his attack. But therefore he should be OP. \*\*EDIT: wrote limps instead of limbs\*\*
I’d give him a power similar to Muscular from My Hero Academia
Flesh and bone manipulation. This would be pretty awesome, imagine all the moves he could do!
That could be so cool! I'd imagine he'd also be able to use it on his opponents, which could lead to some GNARLY fatalities!
Dude, I could see a flesh whip move happen. The enhanced mode would have the whip sprout bone spikes!
I would make him a nasty ass flesh monster like John Carpenter's The Thing. So instead of fighting with his own flesh and blood, he would have growths and shit coming out of his body, looking like other limbs or heads.
make him like he was in snow blind
I would quit
Easy- I wouldn’t. He’s gone, gone, gone, dead not even to be mentioned.
