Why so much Hate for the guest characters in general???

[David Minority]

I've seen that some of you don't like the idea of guest characters in MK, but why? i mean Netherrealm Studios is doing a great job for making everyone happy with both returning characters and guest characters, i feel like, that without guest characters the kombat pack would seem incomplete, i mean i remember playing Mk Armaggedon where there were all the mk characters and you didn't have to pay for having them in the game, and having only returning mk characters as dlc would be bad, plus it's really cool to see how they can implement guest characters, with the costumization, intros and more.

simple, there are over 60 MK characters, some characters haven't been around since 3D era, I would like to see characters that were missing from MK9-11 return with updated models and movesets. plus it would be cool to see NRS redesign existing characters that were not so popular back in the day. for example, how awesome was tremor in MKX, previously he was a pallete swaped brown ninja in MK:SF.

Yes i understand but imagine if MK12 has as Dlc Motaro Chameleon Onaga Mokap Blaze ecc. The problem is that every new MK game that they do, they leave some characters behind like it has happenend, but imagine if following this path of doing only Mk characters as dlc, in MK14 or 15 they leave some base character roster like scorpion or sub-zero or Johnny Cage and then making them Dlc Characters, that is my fear. Even though i hope that sometime they will make a Mortal Kombat game with the roster of armageddon plus the new characters like d'vorah geras ecc.

Guest characters are a mixed bag for me. As Gokhan said, I would prefer to get as many MK characters as possible. Some guests can be done right and fit really well - for example, I really enjoyed the Predator in MKX, but most of the time they feel like they don't really belong in the universe.
Another example for this are Sub-Zero and Raiden in Injustice 2. I really like both of those MK characters, but I barely played them in Injustice, because when I play that game, I play it for the DC superheroes and villains and those two felt out of place in that universe.

When it comes to MK11, I am actually looking forward to seeing how they will do Spawn even if he is a guest comic book character, but I wouldn't really want more than two guests out of the six Kombat pack characters. Three guests per Kombat pack seems a bit too many to me.

i wouldnt mind guest characters if they were from other fighting games, or games in general. I hate it that they are slasher/horror movie characters. Though Predator and Alien was a nice choice. But i couldnt care less for Leatherface or Jason.

Also there are too many of them, 3 out of 6 characters are guest characters, thats way too many imo.

DLC should be filled only with returning characters + newcomers.


Without guest characters DLC is like cake will cherry on top. With guest characters it is like cake with statue made of frozen solid poo.

Ash is awesome, but it's not someone I think of when playing Mortal Kombat.

1984 Terminator is cool and Robert Patrick's Terminator is pretty cool, but wouldn't you rather have Mortal Kombat's own unique robots?

Who in their right mind really thinks Spawn is a cool character, they might as well put Paul Blart mall cop in there, I mean why not?

[Uber_Scorpion]

I think its because also there is so many guest characters one or two would be fine, but 4? Come on...

MK9 - 2 guest.
MKX - 4 guests.
Injusitce 2 - 4 guests.
MK11 - ?

Those guest slots in MK11 could have been used for characters like Takeda (reworked), Ermac, Kenshi etc. I do like Evil Dead tv series. I do like Terminator 2. It`s just that this is Mortal Kombat. Not MK vs WB. There are better options for DLC. It could have been even new MK characters.
Some players like me also care about "lore". This separate universes thing and now some costumes and endings (check Scorpion ending) makes this game look like MK vs DC.

Tremor for example, was a good choice for MKX. We haven`t seen him anywhere, other than in Special Forces spin-off. MKX added redesigned version of unpopular and minor character to MKX and made him cool.
Similar story with Skarlet. She was dlc for MK9. Average character. Now she is decent character gameplay-wise, with interesting visuals and background.
Frost was last seen in MK:A. Now they made her something like mix of Sub-Zero and Cyborg version of him.

Why do you really need Joker, Spawn and Ash? They can be fun in combat, but out of place in this game.

Reason its simple, for example you want Millenna? but Boon not give you choise Spawn or Mileena you get spawn by brutal force remember that you dont get Millenna becouse you get spawn its only example but that its worked

2 Kompbat pack = 6 guest char, type 6 char whould you like to be in game from MK universe and this stupid 6 guest char is reason why you dont get this char from MK universe

I think it'also simple beacuse there is Spawn and no Mileena, it means that people wants more Spawn then Mileena and people it's shouting Spawn since MKX

[Shadowman]

Characters i want Play in mk11

Meh, people need to chill. More dlc is coming. They will milk it until the end. Can't release all the favorites at the start or people won't come back for the later dlc. Welcome to gaming 2019.

The worst is when the leak said it was "Ash". Everyone thought it was Ashra. Now is a slap in the face.

Everyone? =). I think it was clear that it was Ash from Evil Dead. Not the first time horror icon appeared in MK game.
