Nice ideas. Here's my suggestion:

If Quan Chi is in this game from the start or as DLC I think they should make more use of his necromancer powers. For example he could summon skeletons like in the MKA intro, or he could use his skeleton wall as a defensive power against projectiles.

I would definately like to see Quan Chi make use of those. Quan Chi is a sorcerer, but his only magic special move is his skull projectile, so making him use more of his necromantic powers would be optimal for him.

Best Created thread in awhile. I have no ideas because I have no imagination but there are a lot of characters that are lacking in special moves. Especially the women Sindel excluded. Mileena's specials are very bland for the most part as you can tell in her gameplay trailer. I know she seems to make up for it with speed and impressive combos but I'd like to see some more flare in her special moves.

Exactly the reason I made this thread. :P
A few characters like Mileena have only three special moves (though it seems she's gotten one more this time around, the one where she jumps the opponent and bites him in the neck) which I simply think isn't enough for a modern fighting game! 4-6 moves should be the minimum of special moves for each character in my opinion.

The reason I chose to use Jade in my example, well, besides she's my favourite character, is that she only has four moves, maybe three if Kitana keeps the teleportation move which she stole in MKvsDCU.

And this gives you guys the chance to be creative while we wait for the game's release. ^^

I think those kicking moves are more suited for Sonya then Jade, But i would like her to have some speacial moves with her spear, and i always thought her green kick was really hot like acid so maybe she could kick her opponents with the green glow and it burns them too.

Stryker- Riot sheild- Basic anti-projectile move. Doesn't need to reflect it back but neutralize it. Could also be used as a charge move if he doesn't get his baton slide throw back.

Semi-automatic pistol improved- Goes for a head shot, or auto aims for where the opponent is(Crouching, or Mid-air).

I guess it's not so much a special but a throw. I would like to see Reptile have a move that makes use of his tongue. I think it pays respect to his classic fatality plus would be sweet as hell. Like maybe wrap it around their throat, slam them once or twice then throw them behind him for one direction and for the other direction he could pull them onto a forceball or something

I think Johnny Cage should have a shadow Kombo, kind of like Tavens fire combo in Armageddon.

Or he could have a shadow counter (if he doesnt already) where when they attack he blocks and smacks them back.

These are all characters that, imo, are in need of new/more specials.

Smoke (human & cyborg) - He lunges toward the opponent and dissipates into smoke, confusing them. Then reforms behind them following with a punch, kick, x-ray, etc..

Rain - Rain Dance. No, really though...Variation/upgrade of his MKT projectile...He summons a whirpool vortex kind of thing in front of him, and it draws the opponent in for a free hit.

Ermac - He has plenty, I'd just like to see this. Think Rain's MKT projectile. He grasps the opponent with his powers, brings them to him for a free hit.

Noob Saibot - Clones, clones, clones.

Sektor - I was thinking something along the lines of another chest cavity projectile...hmm perhaps he opens his chest cavity and spews 10-15 small, needle pointed um...stakes? Metal toothpicks? (you get the idea)...at the opponent.

That's all I got atm.

There are some pretty nice ideas so far. ^^
Keep it up guys.

Sub-zero- ice hands- it's a chargeable move in where you can see his hands freeze up. After he freezes his hand for a short period he would unload two big haymakers that cause 15 to 18 percent damage. But it's easily blockable and should be used after he freezes an opponent. IDK if y'all like it but I'm trying to be creative. Kabal- Xray- he takes his hook knives and impales each shoulder one at a time. He stretches his arms forward to create distance then pulls the opponent toward himself headbutting and breaking the jaw of his opponent. He creates distance again then brings the opponent back and drives his knee or foot into the chest breaking the sternum. The hooks come out and the opponent falls on his knees to the ground. I do like this idea.

In homage to MK2, I would like Jade to have a brass projectile (razor-rang or whatever). It would look so much better than that purple purple projectile.

She could throw the projectile like Kitana tosses her fans. I can see her throwing a forward and up projectiles but she would have to be in the air to throw a down projectiile.

Someone once suggested she should have a staff of carved jade (or look like it). I think that would look better than the purple staff.

sub - zero's spike punch/spike kick. sub - zero forms a sharp iceacle onto his fist to punch the crap out of the opponnet. sub - zero forms an iceacle on the tip of his foot and kicks the crap out of you.

hope you enjoyed.

I actually made my handstand spin kick for Jade as an UMK3 animation.
I posted it in the fan submission section, and you can find it here:

You guys have some nice ideas. Keep those inspirations coming. ^^

Scorpion: an air-spear, throwing the spear diagonally downwards to grab the opponent for an aerial slam afterwards.

Smoke: sandman inspired moves obviously involving smoke. Like a punch, kick, or a cannon-ball type of charge involving smoke and/or fire since without fire, there will be no smoke .

Raiden: definitely needs more electrical moves like electrifying the ground to stun the opponent.

Quan Chi: necromancer moves as mentioned above. He needs oni inspired moves since he was an oni at one point. I'm thinking a move like the flying spirits from the villians playing that string instrument from 'Kung Fu Hustle'

Jax: His arms need to turn into "inspector gadget" like contraptions. Use your imagination.

Reptile: How about a move that involves his tongue? He can reel you in with his tongue or even trip you up or grab you while your in the air.

Goro: how about a four arm fire ball? Four fireballs at once.

Sindel: a move where she grabs you to fly you into the air to slam you down.

Stryker: a stun grenade or even a tear gas type of move.

Ermac: a move where he telekinetically grabs you by the throat to choke slam you down.

Nightwolf: a move where the form of a wolf forms around him to attack you. or a smaller variation of the light from the sky.

Cyrax: a part of his body (forearm and hand) detaching from him to rocket towards you as kind of a projectile.

Sektor: small missiles raining down to form an explosive path of fire or a small napalm like attack.

Shao Kahn: i just want him to be faster and to utilize his hammer more. Like slam the ground and a wave of concrete/earth comes rolling towards you.

all i can think of for now.

I agree with Mileena really needing a new move, would like to see her get a falling pick move similar to Maya in KI2/KIG.

Noob Saibot needs his clone powers to be used more and return with his blackhole on the ground that move's a one-of-a-kind

He should summon a clone instead, and depending on which button you chose similar to Liu Kang's Cartwheel move in MKvsDC, will do 4 different moves and also a super version of each.

quickly summons clone close to him (front):
a. MKT style - releases clone and they catapult opponent twards him
b. tosses clone similar to Venom's Fang move in MvC2 at an arched angle making it different than Kano's cannonball as an impacting projectile
c. clone does a similar crawl like that of Reptile in MK4 was kinda creepy
d. Cancel/Fake
Super Version - could be a ricochet ball

quickly summons clone far away from him:
a. makes clone fall through blackhole onto opponent's shoulders and they leg-scissor them twards him into an air launch attack
b. clone borrows Reiko's flipkick that juggles opponent back to him
c. clone hold - simply holds the opponent in a full-nelson for 5 seconds
d. Cancel/Fake
Super Version - could be an uppercut juggle back-and-forth and again with him and his far-away clone

Let's see...

MILEENA: Seductive Betrayal
Mileena grabs the opponent by the ankles and yanks him/her to the ground. She then stands seductively, only to stomp the opponent's crotch in the end.

SUB-ZERO: Wind Chill
Sub-Zero grabs the opponent and tosses him/her into the air. He then leaps into the air himself, and flipkicks the opponent to the fan end of the arena at high speed.

ERMAC: Knee by Force
Ermac uses his telekinesis to shove the opponent through the ground, leaving only the torso and above visible. He then speeds forward and knees the opponent in the face with enough force release him/her from the ground.

JAX: Mega Missile #1
Jax mega punches the opponent, sending him/her flying to the far end of the arena.

JAX: Mega Missile #2
Jax uppercuts the opponent, then mega punches him/her, sending him/her flying to the far end of the arena.

JADE: Calling the Birds
Jade wields her staff in a circular motion with her right hand, landing multiple blows on the opponents head.

SINDEL: Inevitably Deaf
Sindel breathes in heavily, moving the opponent towards her. She then screams loudly damaging the opponent greatly.

You guys done good.

Sektor:
Chest Laser:
Shoots a across from his chest plate across the screen. Can't be jumped over, you have to duck or block it.

Reptile:
Triangle dive kick
Reptile flips backwards onto the top edge of the screen before doing a missile drop kick down onto the opponent.

Cyrax:
Hover bomb:
Cyrax shoots a bomb out of his chest that floats in the air instead of rolling on the ground.

High Hover Bomb:
Used more as an anti air attack, Cyrax shoots a bomb out of his chest and has it float at a jump height.

Mileena:
Flip stab
Mileena flips forward with sais extended and jams both of them into the opponent's shoulders.

Scorpion:
Flip kick
The flip kick that Scorpion had in Deadly Alliance.

Given Sektor's 4 missile moves, TWO of which are homing missiles. I would like his straight missile's upgrade to be:

-Sektor - shoots a missile directly at the ground which then digitizes itslef and dissapears. The missile comes up UNDERNEATH the other character via digitization and upon hit, gives a popup in which he doesnt have to be right beside them. he can then utilize his ranged tactics.

-Scorpion - (im sick of people jumping spears)...Air Spear

Well played, my good chum.
