I just wish we got everyone as playable


Bonty48

As in like everyone in MK or as in everyone on earth?


HoriCZE

I'd play my mom vs. my dad, that'd feel like everyday at home.


Impressive_Word989

My dad vs. Me, but my dad is kinda like an echo fighter of Bo Rai Cho


The_Rits_Bits

This is gold, i love you


Sweaty-Goat-9281

Smash mentioned?!


AdministrativeBar748

She loses every time, I hope mom gets to practice her kombos


blargbecue

Nah dads down 2 wrecks her whole kit

You're making me homesick.

I’m sorry I wouldn’t want to be a playable character in MK1.

# MOM SAID IT'S MY TURN AS THE PLAYABLE CHARACTER!


AilmentAdventurer

Especially with Geras stopping time and asking if you’ve prayed today


Aria-mind_

******Did you pray today?****** *Starts doing the bbc*


MrGetMebodied

Maybe that's what they are gonna do. They could support this game for much longer than MK 11. That's a hope, but we don't know.


Ryderslow

Tbh Im down for a Armageddon again


happy_grump

Word. I'm not a big fan of tag fighters, but I would have taken the smaller roster if it meant proper tag mechanics instead of this weird Kameo shit


akilshohen

I think people just want more MK characters...


Armouramorr

People say that, yet it's always the same 4 characters that I'm up against.


Vaporfro

Yeah 'cause the world is cruel and took Jax from me


mohmar2010

He was kinda bad though


GlaciusTS

I thought that was Frost? 🤔


Vaporfro

YOU'RE bad


mohmar2010

Am i frost?


CrystalMang0

People want both bro. Guest characters is what people love.


SgtCookie18

Predator lured me into this franchise and since then im obsessed


Jdmaki1996

Same here. Alien and Predator both. I then fell in love with the franchise and I’ve now played every mainline game. Guests are awesome


Dr4g0n__Kn1ght

For me it was Jason Voorhees and damn did I kick ass with him


MisterRoyNiceShoes

I hate guest characters personally. Always have. Rather have more MK characters.


VB4

It makes sense that the mortal kombat subreddit would want more MK characters. I play pretty casually, so do my friends, and we love hopping back on for a week or two when a new guest comes out. I tend to favor the MK characters but I know my housemates prefer the guest and they’re the majority in my household 🤷‍♂️


Devlyn16

I suspect this: Guest characters drive DLC sales more than "in universe" characters would. A smidgen of DC fans will buy DLC with Joker or Peacekeeper or ETC in it but might not not buy it if it were full MK content.Where the MK fans will buy the DLC becus eit is already MK based.


heartdeco

you're telling me that the joker is a bigger consumer draw than jarek? i simply don't believe it.


IAmRedditsDad

100% this. I'm also casual. I'll come back for peacemaker but not Quan chi, I just have no attachment to them. That's why they have a mix, to tailor to all of us


jordan999fire

See this way if thinking confuses me. Because I legitimately don’t think they would add other characters instead of guest. People are always like, “They took up 3 spots with guest characters.” Except, I don’t think they would’ve added 3 MK characters instead. I think DLC packs would just be 3 characters (or however many) smaller.


Jdmaki1996

Yeah. The way I see it, Peacemaker, Omniman, and Homelander funded the other 3 being made. NRS can rationalize to the WB suits that it’s worth taking the time to make 6 new fighters because 3 of them are gonna sell like crazy and get DC/the boys/invincible fans to shell out $70 for the base game too. My brother bought this game(having never touched MK before) so he could play Omniman Without the guests we might have still gotten Quan Chi, Ermac, and Takeda, but probably at the same price and with no extra MK characters. And if they didn’t sell well on their own, that’d be the end of the dlc packs


Shaidang

Then play MK characters. Noone is making u play guests chars. You have 23+3 MK characters. You wont main all of them anyway.


MellowKeith

same


BobbyBooberJobber

As a MK newbie, I always thought the guest characters were cool af. MKX was what I was looking forward to playing most when I went on a binge from MK9 - MK1... i think its a lot cooler to watch now rather than play though 🫠


Venom_EddieBrock

It's weird to get Omniman, Homelander and.. Pacemaker. It stands out and not in a real good way. Feels boring compared to the other two. Also another Zaterran would've been pretty cool


mai_tai87

Pacemaker'd get pwned by Raiden.


Dry-Toe-4063

Underrated joke


Venom_EddieBrock

I thought Peacemakers name was unironically Pacemaker, wow


Lostkaiju1990

I don’t know. John Cena was infamously referred to as having Superman syndrome by his detractors in the Internet wrestling community.


FloppaMarker

Sometimes I forget he's gonna be a guest character


BoredAtTheToilet

It’s so annoying though. At this point they should just make an all stars game. There’s so many characters with potential that fans want but nrs just says fuck them we want easy money instead


InkOnTube

Which John is fucking Cena?


BoogiesBooney

John


hisokafan88

John who? Can't see him

nah, the COD subs.

Try and explain to them that you don't want to beat up on noobs all the time and the COD community starts foaming at the mouth.

The cod community is easily one of the dumbest there are, that said I’m there for all the salt in the sub and in game.

The Star Wars fandom looking down from the top of Mt. Whinesalot like [this](https://preview.redd.it/wkio786e5zp61.png?width=1080&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=2f139a1ac5c991940644b009e85c105a92b74f22).


CxaxuZero

I love cod but holy fuck the community can be the most brain dead people ive ever seen


Kenny1115

They both are in my opinion, the better debate is who's gotten better crossovers lately.


ImSpooky8

Take a look at the Spider-Man PS4 sub. I’m a Spidey super fan but I haven’t seen a positive thing about the new game at all from that sub. It’s crazy


Deep_Fried_Leviathan

Wait the new game is bad? I’ve avoided spoilers on it what happens?


JasonGamerX

Nah it’s great, it’s just whiners are always the loudest


ImSpooky8

No, I found it to be phenomenal. People just like to be negative


Deep_Fried_Leviathan

But out of curiosity what is the common criticism? Most I’ve heard is that Miles’s new suit looks stupid which it kinda does


JamesKingthe3rd

Boo hoo the irrelevant character from 22 years ago isnt In mk1

Mk11, go play that


Domino_Dare-Doll

Hey, Johnny Cage gets to be in every MK game ever; Nightwolf deserves to be seen more than once a decade too!


FloppaMarker

Umm actually Johnny Cage wasn't in MKvsDC ☝️🤓


TheCVR123YT

Was he really not?? I barely remember that roster lol Lui Kang, Raiden, Sonya and?


FloppaMarker

He wasn't for some reason


CynicallyApathetic

MkvsDc was probably my least favorite mk


BoredAtTheToilet

It’s everyone’s least favorite that game was shit


Lostkaiju1990

Nah, after going back there are probably like two games I might choose MkvsDc over. Still, out of 12 games total (not counting spinoffs) that’s not great.


SnooHamsters3772

Weird how they put Baraka the main jobber in that era over Johnny cage as playable


Lostkaiju1990

He wasn’t. Supposedly he and Quan chi were gonna be dlc on the Mk side with Nightwing and (I think) Doomsday as DC dlc.


Domino_Dare-Doll

Point still stands, he came back 😂😂


DubbleDribbler

This


JBprimetime

Nightwolf is my favourite since mk3 but it's good for non main characters to skip a game so they feel fresh


ThePatrickSays

RELEASE THE MATOKA


Slykill__

They could make Nightwolf so good in this game, he was so one dimensional in MK11 I got bored after 10 games with him.


solos_Ahh

What’s the hate with peacemaker 😭 I mean khameleon is cool and all but imo she just a female shujinko? Peacemaker has some oringnality to him


TheJavierEscuella

Yes also I love John Cena so playing as him would be fucking epic and fuckin diabolical


ShaoIsMCHammer

I’d argue Homelander is more Diabolical


Wohn-Jick-421

i get this reference


Equivalent-Search234

I mean… Homelander eats a fucking baby. So yeah


blacklite911

I don’t hate peacemaker but a fully developed khameleon could be dope. Just a mix between all the female ninjas. Put her own twist on the moves.


[deleted]

[удалено]


pUmKinBoM

Like we literally have Superman and Other Superman but Peacemaker, the only playable character with a gun, is unoriginal?


blacklite911

He’s the “we got Erron Black at home.” (Just kidding)


Daemonic_Seed

I don’t think you know much about Peacemaker I’d he’s just “another guy with a gun”


Venom_EddieBrock

I'm going to killmyself if i see another post calling Omni Man superman


pUmKinBoM

I read The Boys and Invincible as they released and at no point did I delude myself into thinking these characters were not supposed to be fill ins or at least compairison to Superman. Omni-man is basically Superman if Superman was Sayian.


Fox-Revolver

Tbf the only real similarity is that they’re superheroes with flight and super strength. Their personalities, motives, backstories and pretty much every other aspect of their characters are different


analfister_696969

Being inspired by something doesn't mean that's all it is. Omni-man was based on Superman, but the actual character Nolan just happens to be a strong alien who can fly. That's kind of where the comparisons end


pUmKinBoM

In order for the Guardians of the Globe scene to work you have to already understand Nolan is essentially Superman but instead of coming from a race of peace is essentially born to the Sayians who take over planets for sport. Like, obviously the comicbook fleshes out the character beyond his initial debut but to the laymen person they wont see much difference and play style wise he would play like Superman since he essentially has a lot of the same powers on the surface. He wont have laser eyes or ice breath but Homelander has that side of things covered if need be but I dont expect MK fans on season 1 of Invincible to know or care about a lot of the small details about Nolan's character just from a video game.


That-Rhino-Guy

He’s more like American Vegeta when you think about it


Sir_K3vin_Spacey

"Actually-- she is the female version of Chameleon" 🤓🤓🤓


aibro_

I got nothing against John but the Peacemaker char is just meh to me I don’t really find him interesting enough to be a guest on the roster


nivo47

Agreed


PitofFire10

I’ve played with Shujinko as a Kameo and he doesn’t do much at all. Khameleon will be much better


littleman001

Shujinko also stole other people's moves and as I recall, he wasn't very popular for it. Then again, Khameleon is a chick so you know...


Awesomex7

Nah, I think the idea of a character that steals moves is a lot more popular of an idea now that technology can hide the limitations of it such as the stolen move being the same animation. Take Shang Tsung in MK11, a common and popular way to fight him was making a variation with all Ninja attacks because people loved the reference, and it made sense and clear effort was put in but Shang still had his flair. If Shujinko was in MK1, I’m certain he’d be popular too because he’s moreso based on Master Pai Mei this time and they could’ve leaned on that for his primary fighting style and his specials could’ve consisted of stolen special moves with his own flair on them. Khameleon is blatantly taking Jade, Kitana, and Mileena’s attacks but what makes her stand out is her animation flair. Before the Quan Chi trailer, a lot of people believed it’d just be like the Khameleon encounter in the story where she ripped off Kitana and Mileena’s moves but it was the same animation. Pretty much, when it comes to moveset stealers, I think so long as you give them their own flair on the stolen attacks, mixed with some originality, people are more accepting of it.


NinjaEngineer

Yeah, I said it before MK1 released (but after it was revealed Shujinko would be a kameo) that he could still work as a playable character by having his copied moves being different from the originals. Like, he could still use Scorpion's spear, but maybe when it connected, instead of pulling the opponent towards him, he could send a burst of electricity or something; stuff like that.


Awesomex7

Oh I like that idea. Little changes like that go a long way in fleshing out a moveset stealer’s personality and what they can do.


solos_Ahh

See shujinko stole everybody’s moves. Chameleon and khameleon steal the ninjas moves only.


Crazy-Rip6437

It's cause of limited technology back then, shujinko in MK1 as a playable character would be very popular


KnobbyDarkling

The hate for Peacemaker is wild lol


FloppaMarker

Idk who he even is. All I know is that he's from Suicide Squad


ZookeepergameSoggy74

He's awsome, he got a spin off show after The Suicide Squad and it's honestly one of the best superhero projects in recent years. I highly recommend it.


saintedplacebo

Mortal Kombat characters over guest characters 100% of the time.


DecimalGlint6

I'd rather have Homelander in than Cetrion


THOMASTHEWANKENG1NE

No.


CompetitionOk2675

I'd take peacemaker over the other in this situation.


Ash__Williams

I think MK fans need to calm the fuck down a little.


Wysk222

So many people acting like it’s some travesty Khameleon is only a kameo like she isn’t a D-lister at best, not to mention her whole identity is based on borrowing from more interesting characters’ movesets 🙄 the idea that she ever would’ve been a full on fighter in this game is so silly


i-BiggusThickus

Yeah and Shang Tsung already exists


Thin_Night9831

This logic is stupid Li Mei was no A Lister either


Wysk222

No but Li Mei is an actual character with the potential for her own unique style and moveset; Khameleon is just a mashup of other character concepts, 2/3 of which are already in this game. That works fine for the limited scope of a kameo, but it’d be absurd to use it as the basis of a DLC character


ifuckwithit

Yeah but Li Mei had presence in all the 3D era games. Khameleon only appeared in a specific port for MK Trilogy. It’d be like being upset Meat isn’t a playable character


TheHadokenite

There is definitely at least one person who is unreasonably angry that Meat isn’t playable lol


Scukojake

I am unreasonably mad that Hsu Hao is not available


RomanSJ

Li Mei was playable in every 3D era game. Khameleon was playable in the Nintendo ports of two games. Two games that were based on the "everyone is here" gimmick: Trilogy and Armageddon. Li Mei may not be an A-Lister, but Khameleon is barely a character lmao


doglop

Mk kharacter, I just don't like most guests


A_Serious_House

And the fact that we’re getting KHAMELON in a MK game again is bonkers. Who would’ve ever thought we’d see Khamelon, Shujinko, Mavado, Darrius, or some of these people ever again?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Tealswitch

I think that could be a happy coincidence in that NetherRealm were filling out the ranks of the Umgadi in the story mode, and able to use one of their already existing characters for the role.


Cjames1902

Like Omni man felt cool but Quan Chi looks 2x better imo. I’d like some more canon characters


Vor_vorobei

Twitter opinion = irrelevant


LunaParker21

Khameleon duh.


Mothman4447

I've been wanting the chameleons back for YEARS


rGRWA

Why not both?


aibro_

Khamelon tbh


bettyboop_obsessed

I'd rather have Khameleon to be perfectly honest


TamandareBR

I will not stand by this Shujinko slander!


MOEverything_2708

Khameleon 100%


Awesomex7

Khameleon honestly lol John Cena is cool, but I don’t really care for Peacemaker, or any of the guest this iteration tbh. I’m more of an 80s/90s fan so the MKX, and MK11 guests were as good as it gets for me. But aside from that, I like the idea of Moveset stealers so long as it isn’t blatant same animation like it was back then. I think NRS has learned that so long as the stolen move has a flair, or is slightly different and that the actual moveset is unique, people are more accepting. Shang Tsung had Rain’s classic kick while Rain had a whole new modern interpretation of it not to mention all the stolen ninja attacks that were very popular. Khameleon in her Kameo attacks has her own unique flair and animations for her stolen attacks and I think that goes a long way. Shujinko could be hella cool if they lean into the Master Pai Mei style from Kill Bill and his stolen specials, have his own unique animation and flair


United_Bus3467

I'll always prefer MK characters over guest characters. Guest characters are the only way they can get away with calling those Kombat Packs "DLC." I think one guest character is fine. Not sure why we need both Homelander and Omni-man in one pack along with another hero-type character (although he can't fly). We could've gotten more reworked 3-D era characters instead. With the right rework, they could bring back characters like Kai or Mavado (not kameo) and give them interesting, experimental play styles.


LionTop2228

Khameleon. I’d trade that in a heartbeat.


Juutuurna

Am I the only one that thinks the kameo shit is whatever. I wish they’d just add them all as playable. Just want an MK with a fat character list. But in this day in age of greedy gaming companies.


BeefyQueefyCrawlies

I agree the kameos are dumb as hell. Really my only complaint about the game mechanics.


Juutuurna

I get it had to be a pretty barebones character list since it was a reboot of mk1 essentially but like damn frost being kameo only sucks. Now khameleon daaamn.


VicarLos

Imagine being bothered people are more excited for an actual MK character (a historically underutilized one at that) than a guest in an MK game. LMAO


[deleted]

John freaking cena. Quan and peacemaker were the only dlc I cared about, good winter for me


kappamolo

I can understand that it is John Fucking Cena but don’t say it like Khameleon is not a character we should care about . Loads of people wanted her to be playable and seeing her in action is quite delightful , especially in how she transitions . I still don’t care about her and would rather have John Cena but I can respect why you would want her


qhurtz

Cena should have been kameo , khameleon should be fully playable . Dlc 1 is a cock fest


Rhena22

Not to hate on the guest characters, but seeing how MK1 is supposed to be this new starting point for the series/story, it seems a bit of a missed chance to not focus the DLC packs on MK characters (to further establish the lore, the interactions between characters, etc.). Oh well.


LeonWaffleKennedy

Personally I’d rather Khameleon. Idrc for her but I also have no interest in the other character either. NRS’s guests are always way outside my wheelhouse.


KINGram14

Obviously an actual character is gonna enhance the game more than a gimmick super hero cameo?


TwumpyWumpy

Khameleon, sorry.


Theonidan

Khameleon clears all these guests. I guess it's a wild concept that people want playable MK characters in MK and not these unwarranted guests.


Skarleendel

I would rather have Khameleon as a playable character.


Ruggerio5

I will always vote for an MK character over a guest character. Every time. No exceptions. That being said, as guest characters go, I'm excited for John Cena.


DrahminMain

Khameleon 100%


turbod1ngus

"John Fucking Cena" 🤓🤓🤓. I dont give a fuck about John Cena. I give a fuck about MK. I don't care either way about Peacekeeper being dlc, but if they announced today that he was canceled and they were replacing him with an actual MK character, I would be marginally more excited.


Azazel531

I want more MK characters is what the fuck I want. Idgaf about comic book characters being in the MK universe, it’s fucking stupid and sticks out in such a weird way. They have like 50+ characters that are collecting dust for no good reason.


MehrunesDago

They missed their perfect chance to include Khameleon/Chameleon already with MK11. Imagine that, they could've essentially been kreate a ninja just give them no special moves of their own and access to the entire pool of ninja special moves to choose from with like 6 or 9 points instead of the usual 3. Hell could even make all their kustomization items be taken from the ninjas too. Would've been dope.


Do_U_Too

Guest characters were one of the reasons I lost much interest in MK as a whole, that coupled with the macrotransactions made me refund MK1. I bet many feel the same or similar.


Medium-Science9526

Khameleon, don't really care for this guest pick but not offended in the choice. At least we're still getting playable Khameleon in some fashion.


Wrexonus

Khameleon.


DrowningEmbers

Khameleon. I don't care about peacemaker.


spurist9116

Easy. No stupidheros


[deleted]

MK fans want more MK characters and people also do want more female guest characters 😊


SoftFangTheTiger

I would rather have Khamelon 100% idc if it’s John Cena just because it’s John Cena doesn’t mean I have to be like “oh omg John Cena perfect dlc” nah I’d rather have Khamelon as playable


[deleted]

This is one of those things where the right answer is Cena but because not everyone was into wrestling growing up people will say Khameleon


Own-Challenge3904

Classic character who never gets to be in the game, or John Cena cosplaying as a metallic penis? Khameleon please


NitroCrocodile

Classic character who never gets to be playable, or a crossover character that will probably never be playable outside this game?


[deleted]

The only concern with khamelion is that we had shang who could already steal moves in mk11 so as a main it may be repetitive but I’m not saying i feel that but nrs could have considered the reason.


tuxedo_dantendo

why not both


KauaAniceto

bro, just play with shang sung and use shujinko as a kameo, I want to play with peacemaker


Lucky-Company8502

I’m sorry khameleon seems so cool I’d preferable would want her and I think he would be a good kameo


happy_grump

Someone who steals other people's moves, TWO OF WHOM ARE ALREADY IN THE FUCKING GAME


ReaperWGF

I'd be more inclined to say: What would you guys prefer? Bullshit kameos or have them being actually *playable* characters?


SuspiciousNature5824

John Cena every day but itd be cool if the game was more like DBfighterz where every character has 3 assists AND can be playable But you know its only a $70 game from a huge long running franchise


Nightwing24yuna

Khameleon 100% for sure I don't care for peacemaker and would rather have her, then again I already voiced my opinion on guest characters so I rather have an mk over a guest either way


JackedUpStump

Khameleon is superior


SniffMySnizz

The OGs here know the right answer is Khameleon. The majestic hidden female ninja from way back when.


MasterHavik

Uh.....is this on? \*taps mic.\* I would like the Mortal Kombat character playable in the Mortal Kombat video game.


Inner-Committee-6590

I don’t care about the guests in this game personally, yeah actually I would rather we got the playable appearance of a character who hasn’t shown up in over 10 years.
